-Chessur suddenly understands Wolfram's line of thought.-
Chessur: ~Yes. I've heard Dune's mind is not a pleasant place to go even with permission and help.~
-Chessur thinks for a moment.-
Chessur: ~Wolfram, There is something else I want to ask you.~

Duniree's Suite
-Lavender quizzical.-
Girl: ~Hm?~
Chessur: ~Do you want to try speaking to Dune through me, Wolfram? I may not be able to connect with his mind, but I have a way to communicate with him. However, you'll need to leave the room so I have room to be able to work. But that also means you will meet three new faces.~
-Images of Ren, Rio, and Desi are transmitted.-
Chessur: ~They are all friends. And they don't want to hurt you. So do you want to try to talk to Dune?~
Duniree's Suite
-The girl recognizes Deziree.-
Girl: ~Steelmind. She thinks like how a clock sounds, only moreso.~
-She sees nothing weird or wrong with that statement.-
Girl: ~Those others... feel anxiety outside. It from them? Might scare them, accidentally.~
-And one again Baleno is rolling around laughing.-
Chessur: ~I imagine they are worried. Not for themselves but for us and others. Your powers are very strong Wolfram. So they were worried that we might accidentally scare you and cause you to use you powers. But I see that you don't want to hurt us, and you don't like hurting others. And that makes you very different from others who use their powers to hurt others.~
Baleno: ~Is the part where we say "Have courage and be kind. For where there is kindness, there is goodness. And where there is goodness, there's magic"?~
-Baleno chuckles as Chessur gives Baleno a sideways glance that basically screams passive irritation.-

Duniree's Suite
-The girl's head basically swims in green and brown confusion at the exchange.-
Chessur: ~Baleno likes to think he's funny, but he does have a problem finding the right audience. But to try to set your unease to rest, everyone in that room knows about your powers and is unlikely to be hurt by them easily. So do you want to meet the others and talk to Dune?~

-The girl shrugs off the confusion.-
Girl: ~Yes... please. Dune is nice, given food that tastes good and white water that tastes better. But his words are not mine, so I can't thank.~
-She brushes a bit of her hair back.-
-Chessur nods to Baleno and the Raichu walks to the door and jumps up to turn the knob to open the door.-
-Ren and Rio turn their heads as the door opens, but remain where they are.-
Chessur: ~Do you want to go first, or should I?~

Duniree's Suite
-The girl's thoughts are filled with a new color - yellow anxiety.-
Girl: ~I... I can go first.~
-She stands herself up, fidgeting with the bed sheet she has wrapped around herself. She steps toward the door.-
-The sound of footsteps grabs Dune and Deziree's attention.-
-Ren and Rio relax as they see the girl wrapped in a sheet followed by Chessur and Blaeno.-
-Chessur puts up a Light Screen so where everyone see it. The screen turns a translucent white before purple letters appear.-

-Dune's eyebrows raise for a second.-
Dune: ... "Wolfram"?
-Deziree looks befuddled.-
Deziree: "Tungsten"?
-The girl twists the bed sheet in her hand.-
Girl: ~Wolfram is old name. Not for me anymore. Chessur cat-thing says that... he... um... "Ren?" gave him name. For thank you, was wondering if... you could give me new name.~

-The words on the Light screen change. Baleno snerks at the unintentional word play-
-Ren's eyebrows raise as Rio looks on with a new found interest.-
Duniree's Suite
-Dune is visibly taken aback.-
Dune: I- uh- I mean...
-Deziree blinks before playfully coming up behind Dune and ruffling his shoulders.-
Deziree: C'mon, Dune - yoooooou found her!
Dune: Er- well- I mean, I don't even know what sort of name would be appropriate...
DR. MOBIUS!: <She's [Russian].>
-Everyone in the room turns to look at the Metagross walking through the back of the room with a sandwich floating in front of his face.-
Deziree: Uh, what?
-Mobius takes a bite of his sandwich first, chews, and swallows, seemingly absorbing the awkwardness he's caused.-
DR. MOBIUS!: <I heard some of her speaking earlier. "Teplo" means "warm", "yeda vor" means "food thief"...>
-Something clicks in Deziree's head.-
Deziree: ... Hey! I told you to stay in Orre! What are you doing here?!
DR. MOBIUS!: <... I got hungry.>
-He walks out of the room.-
-...-
Girl: ~Big metal thing is... um...~
-Her train of thought gets kind of foggy there.-
Dune: ... So. [Russian]. Huh.
-Ren and co. just stare where DR.MOBIUS! exited.-
-The words on the Light Screen reflect what's going through "Wolfram's" and Chessur's minds.-
Duniree's Suite
-While everyone else's minds are rebooting, Dune's mind is running.-
-[Russian], huh? Well, there is one old religious figure from that area, at least...-
Dune: ... Ludmilla. How about Ludmilla?
-The girl's face perks up.-
Girl: ~People... we hold... dear.~
-A pink swelling builds in her chest.-
*clatter*
-The noise came from Ren knocking over his cane. Rather than looking like he's feeling warm fuzzies, nothing but blank shock is on Ren's face. Rio looks rather shocked too.-
Ren: L-L-Ludmilla?!

GirlLudmilla: ~Did... is he... sick?~
Dune: Ren, are you alright?
Deziree: You look like you've seen a ghost.
Ren: -breathing deeply- No, I'm not sick.
-Rio and Ren exchange looks before Ren composes himself a bit.-
Ren: But I need to tell Dune something. Dune, Is there a place where we can talk? It concerns Time.

Dune: I... er... alright?
-He heads to the kitchen and closes the door behind Ren. Ludmilla looks confused.-
Ludmilla: ~Did I do something wrong?~
-Rio is the one who answers Ludmilla-
Rio: ~Don't worry Ludmilla. You have done nothing wrong. Rather, Ren has a very good memory, and this meeting caused him to remember someone who was very brave and once helped him.~
-Ren speaks softly to Dune.-
Ren: Dune, have you or Deziree ever meet or hear about a very powerful [Russian] psychic auric who has on multiple occasions helped the J-Team?

Duniree's Kitchen
Dune: Well, I remember Tagg and Jacob mentioning one back in Hoenn...
-He looks at the door.-
Dune: No. Really? Really? No. No.
-...-
Dune: Really?!
-Ludmilla shuffles from foot to foot, her self-restraint faltering and her urge to scan Ren's mind increasing.-
edited 10th Sep '16 6:28:49 PM by DuneTheWanderer
-Ren looks at Dune.-
Ren: Yes. I think you just became the father figure to one of our most powerful allies who somehow gets time-displaced. I recommend just going forward as normal, but be careful who you mention this to and NEVER mention it to Ludmilla. Time isn't something we needlessly need to tamper with.
-Chessur and Rio sense what Ludmilla is wanting to do, but do nothing to stop her.-

-The strange new words seem to roll over the girl's mind as one particular phrase sticks in her mind. "Heavily fortified".-
Girl: ~Big castle... scary man with sword...~
-An image of a man, massive by comparison. Black cloak and icy steel armor - and a biting sword that cuts and stings.-
Girl: ~Dune's mind... scary place... I tried to scare him like Floating thing, but...~
