Route 120
Gogie: "Hm... fine."
-He still is a bit on edge and does not really react visibly to the nuzzles-
Hazard: <Nngh... You're kinda strong...>
"life is just a series of increasingly canon-eluding ao3 tags" ~ everydunsparce "Keep your hellfruit away from me, tempter" ~ also EveryNear Dune
-there is a Chandelure and a Chansey, wandering-
Lady: <Are you certain that you're not trying to kill my trainer, dearie?>
Annie: <Oh, positive! I'd never want to harm him.>
Lady: <Only you stalked him, you do realize...>
Another green world.Fortree
-Dune notices the Chandelure and Chansey nearby.-
Dune: Hm? Oh, hey Lady Black, and... um...
-He taps his chin.-
Dune: I don't think we've been introduced.
Fortree
Lady: <Please, just call me Lady, dearie. And...>
Annie: <I'm Annie! I'm Joseph's Chansey. I've seen you about before...hmm. You came in Humilau, yes?>
Another green world.Fortree
-Dune blinks.-
Dune: I- uh, yeah, I guess I did. Why and/or how do you know that?
Fortree
Annie: <Oh, I was just...watching Joseph.>
Another green world.Fortree - near Ammy - past
Fletcha: "Hi Ammy. Hmm, that name sounds familiar..." -thinks-
"Oh! Someone named Umbra who I met briefly a while ago was looking around for you at the time."
Fortree
Dune: Oh. Uh... Okay. Uhhh... Moving on.
-He presents the Happiny egg.-
Dune: This egg isn't hatching. Before you ask if I'm doing it right, I've hatched a freaking Gollett egg before.
Fortree
Annie: <Oh?>
Lady: <Oh, that's easy, dearie! Here...>
-she floats over and hovers near the egg, letting her warmth emanate. She goes into her sweet, motherly voice-
Lady: <You're a little nervous coming out of your egg, aren't you, poppet? Well, there is absolutely nothing to worry about, I can assure you...>
Another green world.Fortree
-The egg stubbornly refuses to acknowledge anything outside of its shell.-
Dune: I asked Selene to try something like that.
Fortree
Lady: <And that didn't work? Well, let me try this.>
-clears throat; stern English nanny voice-
Lady: <Young lady, you will cease this immaturity this minute. Hatch right now, and that's an order!>
Another green world.After the Concert
Psyche is waiting backstage to find Ember. She taps her foot, keeping her eye out for security.
"If I am to be met with disrespect, then I must first love myself with a fierceness no fool can take away." - Vraska, Gorgon assassinFortree
-If nothing else, the egg shell actually reinforces itself in defiance.-
Dune: Hadn't tried that yet...
Fortree
-Lady has had just about enough of this. She goes into terrifying ghost-lady mode, her flames flaring up as high and as bright as they can go-
Lady: HATCH!
Another green world.Fortree, after the Concert
-Ember comes back and notices Psyche there-
-After a brief bit of surprise, she starts talking to her-
Ember: "Well, I can't say I was expecting anyone back here, but I can't say I mind."
"What's up?"
"life is just a series of increasingly canon-eluding ao3 tags" ~ everydunsparce "Keep your hellfruit away from me, tempter" ~ also EveryFortree - Last night
Jacob: -Takes the Kleenex, tears a quarter of it off, rolls it up and stuffs it in his left nostril, before coughing into the remaining portion of it and staining it red-
"Nah I'll be fine, it's nothing serious."
Route 120 - Today
Jacob: -Is walking down the rainy path, Regina and Siegfried out-
-He's looking up at the sky as he does so-
... Ah I missed this place.
-There is a line of Kecleon sneaking towards Fortree-
-One of them looks distinctly Pawniard-y-
-In fact it looks more Pawniard-y with a duct-tape disguise than Kecleon-
-But the duct-tape disguise is too Kecleon-y to be a disguise so it must be a Kecleon-
-I think-
"If there is no way to win, I will simply force a way."Fortree
-The egg does it's best imitation of a rock and continues to give Lady the cold shoulder.-
Dune: o_o
-Dune would back up if he didn't think that, being attached to the egg, Lady would pursue him.-
Psyche coughs. ~Busted.~ She holds out her hearing aids. ~I don't really appreciate a cognitohazard floating around my turf. You wanna tell me why you've been brainwashing my friends?~
"If I am to be met with disrespect, then I must first love myself with a fierceness no fool can take away." - Vraska, Gorgon assassinFortree, after the Concert
Ember: "...Oh, that's what this is about."
"Look, some guys talked to me about that. I toned it down this concert."
"life is just a series of increasingly canon-eluding ao3 tags" ~ everydunsparce "Keep your hellfruit away from me, tempter" ~ also EveryPsyche taps her foot. ~I can tell, it still doesn't matter, putting subliminal messaging in your music is... well, it's still better than what a lot of companies are doing, but that doesn't make it right. >:I~
"If I am to be met with disrespect, then I must first love myself with a fierceness no fool can take away." - Vraska, Gorgon assassinFortree, after the Concert
Ember: "Hey, either way, people like it. What's wrong with making something people enjoy?"
"life is just a series of increasingly canon-eluding ao3 tags" ~ everydunsparce "Keep your hellfruit away from me, tempter" ~ also EveryNear Dune
-Lady is nothing if not a stubborn Chandelure-
Lady: <I am not moving off of this bloody egg until it hatches.>
Another green world.Fortree
-The egg responds to Lady's challenge by giving, what in the language of boulders would probably be construed as "bring it on". However, to a normal person, this could be construed as pure and simple silence.-
Dune: ...
"That was Attack Plan Sigma. Sorry, by the time I realized you were friendlies, I passed out. You know cause Sunny here."
<Sowwy guys, I didn't know....>
Sunny nuzzles Gogie. :3
Decisions were made regrets were had.
