-Siobhan has been here the whole time. I swear. Despite her writer having final projects and shite.-

-Siobhan nodded.-

Siobhan: "When do we start that?"

Shaun: "Uh, I didn't see him."

Tsunami: <Probably that way.>

-She points towards where he went.-

M!Garchomp: <WHAT? That is the only explanation...but there's no one down there. He better not have touched anything...>

Shaun: "I know the terms. I don't think he does."

M!Garchomp: <Grr...you're right. Let's go find that kid.>

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

As the crowd ran off to the feast, Silas turned to Siobhan, "We begin tomorrow, hope you are prepared for it to be hard work."

~It's very rewarding though! The Zero G training was fun!~

Silas took off his mask and tucked it away, he needed to eat after all, however on the stoic nature of his face, there appeared to be a small smile, "Very fun actually."

Malie Sushi High Roller

-A certain universe-traveling duo is currently eating a Z-Kaiseki meal-

Pikachu: <This stuff is pretty great.>

The Wanderer: Indeed.

Pikachu: -Ears folding to his head- <Though... shouldn't we be leaving by now? I kinda miss the others.>

We can't leave until we've fully ascertained the power of the J-Team, and that little scuffle with Chaos doesn't count.

-Twitches-

I'm in trouble, aren't I?

-And a pale skinned woman wearing a white shirt and knee-length shorts walks up to their table-

???: -Mildly annoyed- Do you know how long it took me to find you two? And then once I get to this weirdo Pokémon universe I hear reports about "someone" fighting an armored knight on April Fools.

The Wanderer: -Scratching head- Sorry about that Judith, I got a little distracted after I got yanked over here and-

-Notices an odd device on her right arm-

Wait, is that a COMP?

Judith: -Sighs- Yes, it's a long story. People just seem to think it's a weird PDA so they haven't asked any questions.

-Smirks-

But don't change the subject, I'm still kinda mad at you. But not mad enough to not see why you decided to stay so long in the first place instead of coming back. I'm pretty sure the main reason the Fleet hasn't dispatched a squad to go find you is because they're used to us going AWOL for months at a time.

The Wanderer: Well, like you said with your thing, it's a bit of a long story...

Malie Library

-In the midst of conversation-

Sightseer: ...And it's really interesting how they have the Ride Pager system, unlike back home in Johto. I'm guessing you're from Unova?

I'm Kantonian, actually, though I've been to Unova numerous times. People tend to think I'm Unovan because I sound like one when I speak English.

Sightseer: Right, my mistake. So the Battle Subway compared to the Magnet Train...

Tyto: -Bored- <They've been talking about transportation stuff forever, when are we going to take on the next Trial?>

Muddy: <When you're older, you'll learn to appreciate these moments of peace Tyto.>

Pici: -Sleeping-

Botuli: -Is reading a food book-

Alex: Dude, I'm not sure that's a good ide-

-Locke sits-

-The air in front of the throne flickers-

-Then a screen appears in midair showing a very famiiar group... and one guest, together in a teal-tinged white void-

Arika: Hey, that actually worked! Hello, you all!

Umbra: -waves akwardly- Er, hello, Locke.

Lina: -also waves akwardly- Hello... Son.

Ammy: Have any of you seen Robin?

Nico: -thumbs to the guest- Or know how a Gym Leader got in here?

Gym Leader Volkner: I told you, it involved a Glitch. >_>

All Else Present: ...

-screaming-

Malie

-Izaya leans forward-

Izaya: There's rumors of a Noivern named Sam ammassing followers and stolen treasure in a hideout somewhere near Ula Ula Meadow... Very persuasive fellow, I hear.

Tsunami: <What. The.>

Shaun: "Fuck?"

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Mezzo: So, what happened?

Fortis: Oh! I was flying and then the sky went all funny and it looked all starry and then I saw Forte and miss Gail were skydiving so I said hi and I dived with them and they said some weird stuff but it's okay now because we're back to normal!

Forte: Uh... what she said?

Pianis: And you're that Elite Four lady, right?

Gail: Er... yes.

Mezzo: Fortis has told me a lot about you. No wonder she idolizes you. You two look almost exactly alike.

Gail: Heh heh... funny coincidence, that... yep... -smiles nervously-

Forte: Actually, she's—

-Gail kicks Forte in the leg-

Forte: Ow!

Gail: I'd love to stay and chat, but LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU!!

Malie Library

-Joseph has fallen asleep at a book, laying his head across it and snoring softly. Mazie looks on-

Mazie: <Long day for him, huh...?>

-she turns at the sound of considerable effort, and sees Alisa struggling to carry a particularly heavy book in the air. She simply drops it on the table, letting Mazie see the cover-

Mazie: <The Fountainhead?>

Alisa: <Yes.>

Mazie: <You could have gotten someone to help with that, you know.>

-the Cutiefly looks incredulous-

Alisa: <I could have also asked for someone to grind me into paste beneath their thumb, but since I haven't gone insane I didn't.>

-Virginia, meanwhile, has been carefully staring at a page for a while now. The Comfey looks over her shoulder-

Mazie: <Trying to learn [Sanskrit], Ginny?>

Virginia: <What's that? I don't know how to read.>

Another green world.

Impulse post. :P

Malie Library, With Joseph

Munn turns the corner, having finally found the book he was looking for. Seeing Joseph slumped over, he smiles slightly to himself, and softly walks over. He bends down to plant the lightest of kisses on his boyfriend's cheek, then shrugs out of his light jacket, draping it over Joe's shoulders.

He then sits down across from him at the table and flips open the book - a math textbook for the online course he's taking. Having dropped out of highschool, a long time in his past, he's now studying for a high school equivalency diploma.

Malie Library, With Tagg

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the library, a certain metal man steps out from behind a bookshelf and smiles unsettlingly at the Sightseer, who, through some deep buried survival instinct, pretty quickly shuffles away. He takes her seat at the table.

Lazarus: Doctor Tagg! Just the man I wanted to see.

-Glaring-

Lazarus. I have to admit, I'm surprised you'd be somewhere so public, since normally you tend to hide behind holograms and gas, but it would just be like you to disable the cameras.

Pici: -Wakes up- <What's going on? Who's this guy? He's creepy...>

Muddy: -To Pici- <Someone very dangerous.>

Lazarus: Well, true, but we both know if you try and take me in it'll go poorly for the civilians in the area. But that's not why I'm here! Oh, no.

He sighs.

Lazarus: I'm not sure if you're aware, but I suffer from a mental disorder - Chronic Villain Disorder, to be precise. It means I find myself compelled to do certain things, like monologue about myself and my motives to heroes every once in a while. And right now I just got that itch in the back of my metaphorical brain, so! You don't look like you're doing anything right now. Care to hear about my evil plans?

He wiggles his eyebrows in a way that might have been suggestive, if it weren't so cartoonish.

Shrine Of The Pendant

Locke: Mom? Dad? Is this where you've been for the past ten years?!

Nico: Wait, we've been in here ten years?!

Alli: Uh, as far as I can remember you guys have only been missing for six months.

Shizuo: So you're Locke's parents and their companions?

Umbra: Yes. Yes we are. Exept Volkner, he just got stranded in here with us.

Gudrunn: Where exactly is "here"?

Human!Ammy: Some weird void dimension that has us trapped but keeps us safe from glitches and other nasties.

Volkner: It's more peaceful than where I was last. -shudders-

Lina: Or where me and Umbra were.

Alex: So wait, what happened to you all?

Arika: -rubs her head- Now that's a long story...

-starts explaining-

Malie, past

Izaya: Welcome! That will be all.

-He skips off, his Arbok slithering after-

Malie Library, now

-a certain video game character in another video game character's body approaches Tagg holding a book only to stop upon seeing and hearing Lazarus.-

Corrobin: -to Tagg- This smells like a trap.

-Shaun is staring at the group, somewhat dumbfounded-

I guess I shouldn't be suprised. And wait, Volkner? But...I'm sure he was there when I left...Maybe not.

-To Corrobin-

Sometimes a pit trap has to be uncovered.

-To Lazarus-

Fine then, tell us.

Malie Library

Lazarus: Oh! Goodie! Do sit down, boy, you're making me nervous. Ahem.

He clears his "throat".

Lazarus: Now, as I'm sure you know, trying to define the nature of the multiverse is a futile effort. Due to either mystic individualism, or quantum uncertainty, depending on who you ask, the empirical nature of the multiverse changes depending on who is looking at it. For me, its like this. There are so many universes out there - our universe, the alternate universe, the other universe, the two designated as PMD-A and PMD-B.

He brings up a hologram, and spreads out five points in a line between his hands.

Lazarus: Now, within each of those universes, are multiple planes of existence, multiple dimensions - the material world, the spirit world, the dream world.

He flicks his hands up and down, and each point on the line multiplies vertically a few more times to indicate these planes.

Lazarus: But of course, there's also the infinity of timelines for each universe. Each of these little worlds an infinity in themselves.

He flicks his hands away and towards him, respectively, and the grid of points expand and multiply into a seemingly infinite field.

Lazarus: You with me so far?

Shrine Of The Pendant

-After Arika's explanation is done, Locke stares flabbergasted-

Locke: So you guys got attacked by this superglitch only Robin could figure out the name of, then it killed Arika, who is actually the Lunar Pendant this whole shrine is actually dedicated to, which accidentally created an alternate timeline where Dad never met the J-Team, which led to him and Mom having me, which ended in Arika sending me back to this timeline with a temporally rewritten past, and you guys trapped in this bubble.

Arika: Yep.

Locke: Except Volkner who wound up there because of a completely diffrent Glitch.

Volkner: -sighs- Yep.

Locke: ...

whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Shizuo: That's rough, buddy.

Malie Library

Corrobin: I'm from a far-flung enough part of the multiverse to understand, so go on?
