Secret Lab, Fiore
Lazarus is on an inspection tour of all of his labs! Let's check in on him.
Lazarus: Big Nerd 1! How goes Project Tarrasque?
<Glendower: I thought it was Project Kaiju.>
Lazarus: Same difference. How are we doing?
Big Nerd 1: Well, as you may remember from my last report, we were going to try gene therapy.
Lazarus: Yes? And how did that go?
Big Nerd 1: Not so well. No significant increase in size - but significant increase in tumors.
Lazarus: Bleh. Flesh. See, Glendower, this is why we are so much better off.
<Glendower: Agreed, milord. Biosteel is much better than meat.>
Big Nerd 1: At this point, until Project Weird comes through, we have nothing left to test. Psychic suggestion failed, the magic that your operative, Mombi provided wasn't stable enough at such large sizes. We're dead in the water.
Lazarus: Much like Project Reumbra. Shame. Well, just, keep making Lucid on the side.
Big Nerd 1: Yessir.
Lazarus: Where to next, Glendower?
<Glendower: I believe our Kanto lab.>
Lazarus: Ah! Yes. Let's go see Big Nerd 2, shall we?
Secret Lab, Sinnoh
Lazarus: Big Nerd 2, my good man!
Big Nerd 2: Sir!
Lazarus: How is Project Weird?
Big Nerd 2: Well, until the next AFD event, we can't really test all that much. We have, however, produced a multitude of different options to try once it does happen.
Lazarus: Excellent! Project Tarrasque is counting on you. In the meantime, keep producing Lucid.
Big Nerd 2: Yessir!
Secret Lab, [China]
The lab is still in ruins after Asura's rampage.
Lazarus: Ah. Yes. I forgot about that. Glendower, how did I forget about that?
<Glendower: Not entirely certain, milord.>
Lazarus: Right. Well. Home again, I suppose.
Floating Fortress, Sea of Kyogre
Lazarus: Well, that about wraps up the tour.
<Glendower: And Project Tunnel, milord?>
Lazarus: As delightful and useful as Matter Hat is, he is best encountered in small doses. His regular reports shall suffice.
<Glendower: Very good, milord.>
Lazarus: Dearie me, all this prep work gets boring. Glendower, right in a reminder to go menace those crazy kids sometime soon.
<Glendower: I'll pencil it in, milord.>

Daydre is about.
off the shitsEGC
Blue: Ellie, why do I come all the way to Ever Grande for supplies? I could have just gone down to Oldale. That is where the ship is at.
<Ellie: I dunno boss. It is a mystery.>
She may be encountered by Daydre.
Ever Grande City
Sarah: Yeah, it's not something I like reflecting on.
-She smiles.-
Sarah: And hey, not wanting to tarnish reputations is a really good reason to not want to, y'know, do something, but when it's just you, there's really no reason to feel like you're doing something horribly wrong. Again, it's your body.
-She clears her throat-
Sarah: And for Ho-oh's sake, no matter what, don't forgo the showers. If you really need to, go and cover the mirror or close your eyes or something.
Ice Cream Parlor — Past
Sarah: I... can't really say I know the answer. I'm sorry.
EGC
"Oh, hey Blue!"
She waves.
...
"Aaaaaa Braixen"

"Good, I guess. When'd you get a Braixen?"

Sarah: I know, I know, I just... tend to feel obligated to try to help, I guess? I don't do well with rhetorical questions...

Blue: I've... always had Ellie. Did... did I not introduce you two?
<Ellie: Yes this is indeed the course of events that must have happened, boss.>

EGC
"Nope, I don't think so."
off the shitsEver Grande City
"I'll... uh, keep that in mind"
-Blitz blushes profusely, whether it's to the implication of skipping showers or something else is a good question-
Ever Grande City
-Sarah blinks, and then realizes how her first statement could have been interpreted-
Sarah: ...Oh geez I did not mean it like that ew no ignore that
-Sarah goes bright red-
EGC
Blue: Huh. Well, this is Ellie.
<Ellie: Greetings, non vulpine!> :D

I guess you could say that...
Ever Grande, today
-While pacing-
Why do I get the feeling Ever might be in trouble again?

-The back pedaling only makes fem!Blitz turn redder-
"O-of course! Obviously!"
-She coughs and frantically starts trying to think of anything else to talk about-
"So! Uh, Truth or Dare, you kissing Sakura, people learning more about each other, fun times! Right?"
Ever Grande City
-Excellent choice of conversation topics, Blitz.-
Sarah: Uh, r-right! A-although Sakura kinda... already... knew I had a crush... uh, wait, no, that doesn't mean there's anything happening between us nononononoooo!
-Absolutely fantastic.-
Ice Cream Parlor
-Sarah shrugs-
Sarah: I dunno. I don't really have any plans this year, unfortunately...

[Slouch's attempts to come up with a name for the Golden Noctowl have been fruitless as yet.]
Slouch: Apollo?
Noctowl: <No.>
Slouch: Dr. Hoo?
Noctowl: <Awful.>
Slouch: True.
Austin? Auric?
Noctowl: <No. Maybe.>
Slouch: Nox?
Noctowl: <That's no good. How about Knox, instead?>
Slouch: [Taken aback] ...Sorry?
Noctowl: <Knocks?>
[Slouch looks at the Golden Noctowl with a vacant expression.]
<...Knever mind.>
EGC
Blue: Yeah. Anyways, sup?

"Nothing, really. I was hanging around."

-Tori may catch a glimpse of a redhaired woman in a grey business suit eyeing her, then beginning to walk away-
Ever Grande City
"Y-Yeah, that was pretty obvious! I mean you two have kissed an cuddled before so why would I think you'd do anything just because you've got a crush!"
-Blitz blinks her purple eyes as she realized what she just said-
"...Wait, really?"
Elsewhere
-Tori was exiting a frozen yoghurt shop she'd heard about recently before passing the mysterious woman, she stopped suddenly and turned to see her retreating-
-Glancing around quickly, she decided to try following the suited person-

Outside Ever Grande
Hygieia: <Are you going to let me pass now? Hindrance of a doctor is a crime, I believe. >
Pleth: <Even if you were actually a doctor, I doubt that's true.>
Hygieia: <How insulting. I am without question a doctor.>
-she removes a small syringe from her pouch-
<Now, if you will just sleep for a moment...>
-Brushfire spits another Ember at the syringe, which melts-
Hygieia: <Ow! Now do stop that. You can't win against me.>
-to prove her point, she takes an egg, gives it a shake, and then swallows it whole-
Brushfire: <You know how you said we'd beat her by attrition, Pleth?>
Pleth: (groggily) <Yeah...?>
Brushfire: <I think she may have heard us.>
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.
