Ever: ...Is that a positive?

PEFE!Every: Likely no...long-term. Medical technology...is great.
Ever: So you're sure that you're alright, and are furthermore going to be totally fine?
PEFE!Every: Likely.
Ever: Awesome, because that means I don't have to feel bad if I tell you that for a really smart person, you're a moron.
PEFE!Every: ...Rude.
Ever: Save your three-fourths of a breath, okay? You almost got yourself killed, and as far as I can tell it was for nothing. Mobius one-upped us, and now our informant with them is in the hospital.
PEFE!Every: ...You didn't...tell anyone else, right?
Ever: Uh, nobody but Basket.
PEFE!Every: ...Oh...

Rei didn't even know how to describe the sensation. All she knew was that she didn't like it.

<I'm gonna need some held item like what 9-Volt has!> She announced to Colton as struck her claws against each other before striking the ground with her claws and summoning a barrage of icicles to basically stun-lock Probopass.

Rei executed what could only have been described as a backstep before executing a forward run, Probopass' hitstun still present enough for her to grab the beard again and force the Compass Pokemon's body to take some icicles straight to the nose.
Yeah, even her trainer was taken aback a bit.

Ever: I think that people will be more glad to know you're not dead than annoyed that we lost the flash drive.

-To Rose and Mason-
I have felt wrong since this morning and it's related to, well, it's a bit hard to explain to people without Aura Sense but I'll explain anyway. See, I can percieve connections between myself and other people as threads, and the thread related to a certain friend of mine has been noticeably frayed since then.
-Beat-
Maybe it's a little less complicated than I thought.

-a text appears on Tagg's phone-
From: Ever
To: Tagg
PEFE!Every's in the hospital because she makes poor life decisions. She got blackmailed into a raid on an old Cipher outpost and now Mobius has some sort of flash drive that they wanted. She's in basically stable condition so I'm making fun of her because they say laughter is the best medicine.
She can't really laugh right now though so maybe I should stop.
Tell Echo, yeah? I don't have her number.

-To Mason-
Yes, as you are an Obscuric, i can sense the leftovers of whatever illusion you used to get yourself and Rose up here. You'd better be careful, faking Victory Road credentials is actually a pretty serious offense.
-To Rose-
Well, yes.
-Gets Ever's text, reads it, and sighs-
From: Tagg
I knew she was hiding something from me, I just wish she'd told me what she was doing before she did it.
-And then forwards said text to Echo-

From: Echo
The Malie Center, I presume? I can understand why she wouldn't want to tell anyone, but I would at least like to make sure she's at least functional. As well, I'd like to find out who set her up to do it, and any other information about Mobius in their current state and the situation that led to the raid, especially if the flash drive was hidden in a place that nearly killed her.
-She saves Ever's number in her phone.-

-To Rose and Mason-
Just don't bring attention to yourselves once the bulk of everyone gets up here and you'll be fine.
From: Tagg
Do you think I should visit her while she's in the hospital, or would that just distress her more?
From: Tagg
That's what I would assume. And I would agree entirely, I highly doubt this Izaya person's done with making Every do their "favors", the next one will likely be even more dangerous. I suspect he has his own agenda independent of Mobius going on since he didn't show up with a bunch of dudes from what I can tell, since Shadow Pokémon don't seem to be their thing, but I don't know what exactly.
Slimy jackasses like that always have their own agenda.

Mason: I am a master of not calling attention to myself, don't you worry.
Rose: You know, for some reason I kinda have doubts, despite the illusion thing.
Mason: Betrayal!
Malie City
From: Echo
Indeed. Unfortunately, "Izaya" is not a name I recognize from my days in Mobius, so I can't discern anything so far except that he's devious, and probably does not plan on sticking with the organization to the very end before he runs off and starts his own destructive shenanigans elsewhere.
