The red Yoshi with the black cap in the area practically expelled everyone from the area where the accident occurred, including Enrique. Enrique felt as if he was shoved tyranically away from the scene. He also felt that the poor Yoshi that was trapped under the prop backstage was bombarded too much with statements of shame from the crowd, even though he did think that it was foolish to wander into that territory. However, Enrique didn't want to bring anymore drama, so he simply left the area as the red Yoshi had instructed.
Before he was reached the hotel, he once again gazed at the sky, noticing that the moon was larger than normal. Enrique was to tired at this point to associate an omen with it, and came to the conclusion that the moon was abnormally located closer to the Earth than normal. He entered the hotel, and started walking toward his room.

Strangie watched as the crowd dissipated, then turned to Blood. "Leaving sounds like a good idea. I'm gonna head back and sleep... good night, now," he said, waving and leaving the scene. He eventually made it back to his hotel room, noticing that everyone else was headed there too. The people seemed to move in groups all the time...

Moot stared at the moon for a while longer, comtemplating why it would look so different from the norm. He heard Twi mention he was leaving, and so offered a half-hearted farewell and a wave, almost in a dismissive action. Looking over in Twis direction, Moot couldn't help thinking that Twi lacked that certain cheerful demeanor that he's seen most Yoshis on this island so far possess. "Maybe he didn't smile because didn't want to crack his face?"
Moot supressed a laugh before turning his attention back the festival, which seemed to be winding down for the night. "I guess I should make my way to that so called hotel." Setting off back in the hotels general direction, once again Moot noticed a commotion of sorts going on behind the stage area again. Not caring enough to warrant further investigation, he ignored the events taking place and wandered off to find his own room, wherever that would be.

(Sorry for being gone so long, stuff came up.)
And so the day comes to a close, all of you who haven't gone to your rooms to bed, I'll assume you do so about now. Moot sleeps dreamlessly, while the rest of you...encounter odd, disturbing dreams, that leave you sweating when you wake up.
When you all do wake up, you realize it's noon, and you all feel horrible, save for Moot and Boo. Perhaps it was something in the fruit? Either way, you all feel just plain crappy, but Yoshee, poor thing, has it worst of all, stomach cramps, nausia, the works. When you leave the rooms, or even look out your windows, you notice the festival grounds are almost deserted except for confused staff, and a bright orange Yoshi is in the lobby of the Hotel, complaining to the receptionist. "My little brother Wedge got sick thanks to your tainted fruit! What gives!?"
'Sir, we did not intend..'
"I don't care! I want a solution! Whatever happened to that cure-water crystal thing!?"
'Unfortunately, sir, it broke during the night-time preformance, and we have no able staff available to go retrieve another... It's a dire situation.'
"Gaaaah!! I'll go get it myself!...Well...I'll just get some companions and get it then!".
He turns, looking around frantically..

Strangie walked out of his hotel room, feeling like crap like most everyone else. When he was walking to the lobby, he overheard the conversation about the tainted fruit.
"... what... what kind of stupid retard sells poisoned fruit! Gah!! I ate some of that crap yesterday! Grr..."
He heard the orange Yoshi talking about finding a travelling group to help him find what he needed, and figuring he was just in much trouble as anybody else, walked up to him.
"You say you need some help finding a cure for the fruit poison?..."

"Ugh...what the crap, I feel terrible, what gives?" He stumpled through the hotel to see someone arguing about his little brother being poisoned or something, and the ice climber there looking just as bad as Twi. Listening to the convosation, he needed to help get himself better again, maybe he should tag along. "Hey, you say you need help?" Twi said in a dark croaking voice, "Then I'll help you.."

Blood walked in on the scene of the orange yoshi screaming at the receptionist. He was clutching his stomach, obviously in a bit of pain. He overheard the entire conflict between him and the receptionist. He said a few words in his rasped, morning voice.
"How about we stop yelling and find some clean water? Right now... "
Blood was staring Vicks straight in the eye. "We just need to find some clean water, it's as simple as that, isn't it?"
Blood walked towards the exit of the hotel. "C'mon then! Let's get going!"

I didn't remember much about what had happened last night, as this morning (or noon, I supposed it was) I felt completely terrible. I would have to miss out on today... I felt like throwing up almost. I still managed to open my window and let some sunlight in, but I had to crawl back into bed afterwards.
It must've been something in the food... I could half-hear a rather loud arguement taking place outside, something about being poisoned. I groaned and let my head slide back onto my pillow. I shouldn't have eaten so much...
My train of thought was breaking, so I decided to get some rest. But then I heard something about looking for companions to get something to clean the water. I wanted to go along so badly...
I struggled to my feet and into my shoes as quickly as I could manage, and stumbled out of my room. Since I was already green, it would probably be harder to notice my queasiness, I hoped.
I didn't quite remember how I got there, but I found myself in the lobby a few minutes later. I leaned against a wall, trying to catch my breath.
"You said... you needed a party to get something?" I asked, trying not to gasp out the words.

"Sweet Dear Bahamut...ugh..."
Jay woke up on his bed. As soon as he opened his eyes, things got dizzy. "Man, what the heck?" Everything came into focus. He heard others about poison which made him seem a little sicker. "Oh...that explains it." He grabbed his jacket, put on his shoes, and took his katana(In the sheath of course) and walked to the door, a little wobbly though. He opened it and went through the hotel, to see a Black Yoshi and Strangie. "Hey...guess your not feeling so hot either huh?" Jay held his stomach in pain.

Enrique woke up sweating, dizzy, and feeling like he had been toosed around a room seven dozen times. "What the heck...?" He started thinking to himself. "What it the fruit I ate yesterday...?" He immediately had a sense of paranoia go through his head. He struggled to reach the door of his room in an attempt to reach the lobby.
It took Enrique twelve minutes to reach the lobby; his dizziness caused him to stagger about the hallway until he finally reached the lobby of the hotel, where a plethera of others were also feeling under the weather. He heard one Yoshi at the receptionist's desk yelling that his brother too had gotten sick over the food. "They... poisoned the fruit?!" Enrique screamed in his thoughts, which made his slight headache from the dizziness worse.
He eavesdropped on other Yoshies planning a plot to find clean water, hopefully in an attempt to cure the food poisoning issue. Enrique stumbled his way toward group in the lobby, and made an attempt to speak. "I'd like to help as well. I think everyone... right now... wants to as well..."

The Yoshi turned to see Twi, Strangie, Enrique, Blood, and Yoshee, not noticing Jay just yet, "You've been hurt by it too?...He's got the right idea, we just need to find some clean water, that'll clear it right up, but all the water's been tainted... They didn't do it on purpose, either, if that's what you're thinkin'," he walked over to Yoshee, and gave her a pat on the back, "You too, Yoshee?... Agh." he knew Yoshee from seeing her around every now and then, and turned to the group, "My name's Vicks. What're yours?", and he turned his head to Blood briefly, "HEY! Get back here!"

Enrique was somewhat relieved when the Yoshi, named Vicks, informed the group in the lobby that the water and the food wasn't intentially poisoned. He did respond to Vicks's initial question, trying to get over his headache and the dizziness that he suffered. "It seems as if everyone here has been hit by it." Enrique took a few seconds to take a deep breath, and then he introduced himself to Vicks, holding his hand out as a gesture for a handshake. "My name is Enrique. Nice to meet you, Vicks."

Due to a a commotion outside his room, Moot had woken up earlier than he was used to. No matter though, considering he was used to missing out on the occasional lie-in. He could barely make out something about poisoning, or contaminated water supplies, or something. Realising this could actually be something of some importance, he made his way to the lobby, the source of the noise.
He was greeted by a small crowd, who all seemed to be doubling over or groaning in various degrees, which Moot figured was due to possible food poisoning, or something along the lines of what he had overheard earlier. Apparently some people in the lobby were worse off than others, and some looked like they'd drop dead without a moments hesitation. A frown briefly flashed across his face. "...This is the last thing I need. I came here for relaxation, not a mass poisoning!"
Turning to face some members of the crowd he's seen last night - but failed to introduce himself to - he decided now was as good a time as any to do it. If he was lucky, they wouldn't think this bizarre foreigner who just turned up last night came to poison everyone. At least he had an alibi, but he doubted he'd need it. "Hi, I'm Moot, I just got here... are there any more details other than 'everyone is poisoned' or is that all we know so far? I figure I should be alright, I haven't touched any food or drink here so far."
He noticed a few shifty glances from some people in the lobby, but responded with a glare of his own, as if to say "So what?" The main problem facing Moot right now, other than the suspicious locals, was how long he was going to last without eating or drinking anything on this island.

"My name is Strangie..." he said to reply to Vicks' question. He took off his visor and rubbed his face with his hand. "Gods... this is getting on my nerves... I knew I shoulda packed my own lunch before I got here." After a few seconds of frustrating grumbling and muttering, he put his visor back on, readjusting it with both of his hands.
He turned his head to the Moot as he readjusted his visor. "You're lucky, then. This guy," he said, gesturing to Vicks, "says we just need to find some clean water, but the river's been poisoned. If you're not afflicted by this, you should at least come along with us and help us find it. We're going to need all the help we can get."
He turned back to Vicks. "So... where do we need to go, then? I'm as ready as I'll ever be."

Vicks shook Enrique's hand, and then turned to moot, "We simply need to find that...crystal thing, the hero from three years ago found, and use it to purify the water...That's what he did, at least. I remember when he came back with it, he came from the northeast..." he turned to Strangie, and nodded, "North-east, I suppose. Luckily I didn't eat any of the fruit; I'm...I don't want to get into it. Either way, the woods are fairly dangerous, and with most of us incapacitated...maybe we should gather a few more to travel with us?"

"I'm for waiting," I suggested, raising a hand weakly. I couldn't remember the name 'Vicks' at the moment, but he seemed to know mine. No matter; he abviously knew what was going on.
I rubbed my eyelids while the others introduced themselves. I decided to wait for the others to show up before I told them my name, since I didn't want to waste my already weak breath.

Blood froze at Vicks' sharp call and waited imaptiently by the exit. He tapped his foot, simply listening to the conversation in front of him. He practiced a few things to ease the stomach pains, and found that breathing deeply reduced the pain slightly. He inhaled and exhaled repeatedly, wondering if it would die down.
"C'mon, guys. Who else are we waiting for? There's an hourglass for each of us and the sand is slipping through as we speak! I'm not going to toy with what may very well be my final hours on this planet!"

"My name's Jay Tanoshi. But you can just call me Jay." Jay told a Yoshi named 'Vicks'. "I agree on waiting for others. I don't know how far we'll go in this condition...well...I hope it's dangerous as you say, hehe." Jay rubbed his eyes and yawned. He was up later than expected. He turned to hear some Red Yoshi talk about going now. "Hey, have some patience dude. We'll be going soon. Chill."

"Patience? You expect patience when our very lives are on the line?! Humph, I don't know about you, but I've got something to live for!"
Blood was overracting but he wouldn't admit it. He couldn't stand the though of death. He was especially anxious because he knew there was a cure, and the others were simply waiting. He didn't even really know the others, save Strangie. The only thing he knew is that they knew the way and he couldn't leave without them. Well, Vicks at least. Blood grunted and leaned in the doorway, looking out into the village.

Vicks nodded, and looked to Blood, "Just a little more, then we'll go, you guys stay here, I need to go get some things. And look, once we get a move on, as long as you guys keep up, it'll take us until a little after noon to fix all this. I figure you've got three days, the humans have five. Doesn't seem to affect them as much, it doesn't." and with that, he rushed out the door.
