Heiden Cabin

-Lillith whines a little.-

Lillith:<Something wrong, Ma'am Dash?>

-She headtilts, but is still huggled.-

-Pent totally doesn't notice the sneaking Selene, he is preparing his mind for aspect combat-

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Somewhere

-Selene sits herself down and begins concentrating hard enough to elicit sweat from her brow.-

Pent's Meditating Mind

Selene: ~Hi-...-ent! Wha-...-a do-...-n'?~

Mindscape, Alignment Period

-The calm stillness of the Synchronized Night is broken. The sun rises backwards in the blue kingdom and the moon vanishes from the red sands-

Somewhere

-Pent sighs and glances around-

Hello Selene.

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Somewhere

-Selene catches her breath for a second.-

Selene: Hai, Pent~

-She hugs Pent with her soft sweater.-

-Pent hugs back-

Exerted yourself a bit with the mindcasting?

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Somewhere

Selene: *Phew* Maybe, yeah. It's a bit harder to do as a human. My current theory is that I don't have ears to act as antennae or wings to concentrate energy with. I didn't interrupt anything, did I?

Illusion HQ

Thanks to Tangent for spagging this with me!

-The PA system buzzes for a moment before Echo's voice rings through the halls.-

Echo: Benjamina Zanzibar, I'd like to talk to you in my office.

Benz: Hmm~?

-Benz enters Echo's office, perhaps slightly sooner than the laws of physics would suggest given the location of her quarters-

Benz: What's up? Find anything that needs excavating? ♥

-Echo frowns slightly, looking over Benz analytically.-

Echo: ...You can drop the act now. I know who you are, Mew.

Benz: That is… quite the accusation.

Echo: Your disguise is mediocre at best, as are your so-called colleagues'. While methemoglobinemia is indeed a real skin condition that I might otherwise believe Mercedes to have, the odds of a trio of women who each theme themselves around a color that, by pure chance, happens to correspond with that of Mew right down to skin color is slim to none. In addition, you've done absolutely nothing that your supposed occupations indicate you would do, and the "research" that your green friend supplied is a complete load of crap.

Benz: Hey! You'll hurt Daimler's feelings!

Echo: ...Look. I know you've heard about our original goals, and that you want to hold on to this false identity as tightly as you can so that I don't carry them out. However… there's no need for that anymore. Even if I could follow through, I no longer wish to. You're safe.

Benz: Are you sure?

Since, you know, if you break your word and go trying to do freaky science stuff to me under the assumption I am Mew, you'll have obviously lost the only person who knows how to maintain the faucets that run with coffee in the bathrooms~

Echo: I may have twisted the truth in the past, but I refuse to break a promise. And I promise you that you will not be harmed, manipulated, experimented on, or anything of the sort as long as I have any authority in this organization.

Benz: Well, as long as you've been warned...

-blip!-

-there is now a Mew floating upside-down in front of Echo, whose face shows a restrained expression of awe even despite having expected this.-

Echo: ...Thank you for trusting me. As I said, you will remain free and unharmed as long as I have the power to keep you protected. However… I fear I may not be able to remain and protect you for long.

Mew: ?

-Echo sighs, glancing at the door-

Echo: Over time, the Illusion Project has started to become exactly what I feared it would. While I've always pushed for a greater good, there are far too many beneath me who seek to take the Project and lead it to their own selfish ideals in a cruel imitation of Galactic's methods. The arbiter of the deserving once again will be the one with power, not the one who is right...

-She looks Mew in the eyes.-

Echo: I want to change this. But I cannot do this alone. If you were to help, however...

-Mew raises an eyebrow-

Mostly preparations. Dune wishes to have me help him in finding something within Deziree's mindscape. Probably don't need to prepare too much, everyone else has done well enough on short notice before.

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Somewhere

Selene: I'm sure you'll do fine, but... just between you and me, Deziree's thoughts get a bit crazy. It comes in waves. If you see a "spark", you might want to brace yourself. There's something weird going on with them involving colors, but I've never delved that far before.

I shall keep that in mind. Either way, being well-centered is probably a really good idea going in.

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Somewhere

Selene: Yeah, I'd imagine. I'm thinking I should try meditating myself, so I can help you guys some time in the future.

Sounds like a good idea.

-Nodnod-

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Somewhere

-Selene smiles as she leans her head against Pent's shoulder.-

Selene: Also, you need... To help me... Buy some new... Pajamas...

-Selene nods off to sleep from her efforts.-

Heh...

-Pent nods and huggles before resuming his meditation-

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Heiden Cabin

-Maria has fallen asleep snuggling a Clefairy.-

Tilt Inn-Jason's temporary room

Jason:Gah...can't sleep...hm...

Maray's Room

Maray were currently asleep, Ray snoring, her head over Marie's heart. Rosa, however, was rocking back and forth on the rocking chair, unable to sleep, when she heard the ping of Ray's phone, and the message was read out, in voice.

Rosa perked up, and after taking a deep breath, she typed "Rosa's on her way" and quietly sneaked out the door.

Jason's Temporary Room

-By the time the reply was sent, tiredness had overtaken Jason and he had fallen asleep. Senshi, reading a book at the time, did see the message, and gave a small smile. He waited.-

Jason's Tempo

Rosa knocks on the door, and gently opens it, a shy smile on her face."<H-hu hi there..>"

Jason's temp room

-Sen waves to the Gothitelle.-

~Good evening, Rosa! How are you?~

Maray's Tempo

Rosa waved."<Quite good, but I couldn't really get any sleep, so this was a pleasant surprise. Now, what would you like to do?>" She then suddenly blushed, and poked at a carpet underneath her."<O-o-our peoplemons seem to like the Ice Cream Parlour a lot....>"

Jason's temp room

Senshi:~True...however I was actually going to the turn in relatively soon. So...we can at least talk for a little while? What have you been up to lately Rosa? Have you...well...~

-He tints a little.-

~Have you been staying safe?~

Jason's Tempo

Rosa nodded slowly, her eyes a bit downcast."Yes, I'm alright Sen..but I'm worried about you, Sen, you guys get into so many fights...It makes me...well, scared.>"

She fidgeted with her hands, a fair bit...looking into Sen's eyes.

Jason's temp room

-Senshi tints a little more.-

Senshi:~I've been fine. It's worth it if it means I'm keeping others safe!~

-Despite the blush, he smiles warmly.-

Jason's Tempo

Rosa blushed and turned up her chin."<W-well, I still think I should be close enough to m-make sure you're safe..so I..so I...>" she blushed extremely red, and turned her head down, and whispered softly "<...I wish to sleep next to you this night."

She bowed her head and ducked under the covers of the nearest bed.
