-Kaito bounces on their heels slightly-
Kaito: I know, right? I thought it was a dream when I first woke up. I know she was definitely part of my dreams~ 💜
-They pause, and turn to the Memitos as they approach-
Kaito: Now, Every, the thing about prophecies is, they're designed so that your expectations of them will never be completely right, because when you receive them, you never get the full context. The wise choice is to take whatever advice it leaves, if possible, and allow the chips to fall where they may.
-Incidentally, they type an identical message to Colton as they speak, changing nothing but the name.-

Channah: Um, is that what the invitation's about?
There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.PEFE!Every: That does seem to be the optimal solution, unfortunately. I could probably come up with a better algorithm.
-Ever rolls his eyes at Kaito's speech-
Ever: Please don't tell me you're getting all caught up in the glamour too.
PEFE!Every: I'm caught up in nothing. I simply intend to unravel the future.
Ever: I could not have been more clearly referring to Kaito.
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.Route 19:
The young trainer turned toward the direction the man was pointing at before saying, "There huh? At least it's not too far of a detour...you going to show me where this mon is, or will I have to find it myself?" He then asked.
Living The Fever DreamCastelia City - Colton's Apartment
Julius returned to the living room alongside Helmsman, the latter casually chucking him a soda before he impaled the lid with his teeth, drinking it as they all settled into a bad movie.
<He's lost it,> he summarized.
<Doing anything to invoke her?> Rei asked rhetorically, to which Julius nodded, sat down in front of the couch, let Sylveon land on his back, then mutter something about not really caring about what the narrator was saying from the word go.
From: Colton
Okay, okay, I just want to disprove it because I hate the prophecy trope and how it's been abused in media. I know that media and reality mix like Lillipups and Larvestas, but I can't stop thinking about it.

-Kaito crosses their arms-
Kaito: Ever Memito, I thought you were from Nimbasa. Clearly you're really from Pacifidlog, because you have no ground to stand on.
-They smile-
Kaito: Besides, it's not like it's any different from how our lives normally go, right? Now we just have a summary on the back, as it were.

When dealing with faeries, it's best to act like the fairy tale character they make out with you to be.

PEFE!Every: Hm, good point. I'll have to figure it out quickly then.
Ever: (to Gabe) Don't encourage her.
-but PEFE!Every has already left. Ever sighs-
Ever: (to Kaito) ...Okay, that was funny, I'll admit.
-beat-
But it's not my point! I know I don't have any ground to stand on, that's how I can tell she's dangerous! I always get like this around powerful fae. And ghosts. And Hearts... And hypnotists. ...Like, not psychics, just, y'know, guys with little pendulums. Oh, and I once looked at the readout display on a clock from the wrong angle and I think I tried to delete time to free it from its prison.
...My point is, you should probably have higher standards for what you let into your mind.
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.Route 19 ->Floccesy Ranch:
"Name's Mark, suppose I should have introduced myself earlier," The trainer replied before grabbing his Machop and letting him cling onto his pack, like he had done this countless times before.
"Alright Umbra, lead the way...not a typical name, but at least I won't confuse you for someone else in a crowd," Mark then said, ready to follow.

Rubbing it in there, dude. Still, as much as life like a fairy tale would be a beautiful reality, that's not how it works. I favor realism, sorry to say. I mean, I want her to be happy, but I don't want to disappoint her.
Paradoxical, no?

You really have a poor understanding of the fae, don't you?
Kaito: ...Ever I'm a Heart. And apparently part fae too, now. And don't you have like an entire town's worth of ghosts inside you at all times?
-They shake their head-
Kaito: Nevermind, forget I said that. I know what it's like. Psyche and I both had our memories fucked up by a Beheeyem once, and it really wasn't pretty. Fuck, I think the fake ones came back after I tried to repress them, too...
Phoenix: that sounds stupid
Phoenix: anyway where are you
Phoenix: i'm bored
Phoenix: these guys just want an emo mushroom

From: Colton
Today is literally the first time I've ever learned they existed! Unless Fairy-types count, but honestly, I've had Sylveon around for over five years and have kinda learned to accept she exists.
As I said, three months over seven years. Hang on...

-Ever smiles wryly at Gabe-
Ever: I think I'm realistically past the point where that's an option.
-and he mutters to himself as Kaito speaks-
Ever: Well, not really a town's worth. Unless you mean, like, a video game town, where they only render a couple interactive NP Cs for purposes of avoiding years of encounter dialogue and resource consumption...
And yes I really do appreciate you never having used that weird liquid speech on me. I imagine it would be upsetting.
...And like you're not that fae. I don't feel a burning urge to suborn myself.
...Please don't get any more fae than you are currently.
-he frowns-
Ever: That's awful. The sanctity of your own mind...
-he shakes his head-
I'm glad you're happier, no matter how you got there. There's no denying you deserve the peace. Just...please be careful what you let in. It gets easier.

-Kaito nods-
Kaito: I know. I know it does. Everything gets easier the second time.
-They close their eyes-
Kaito: ...I'll maintain that I don't think how I was with Lady Kuu was a mistake. But I'll be careful, when I can handle being careful. For now, I'm riding the good mood I've been in since this morning.
-They smile-
Kaito: Honestly, I do feel like we've got off on the wrong foot, like, twelve times since we met, including today. I do want to make all that up to you, even if I can't even remember how it started.
Iron Aux Base
-There is a loud thud as what was once probably a pull door is now smashed off its hinges and laying on the floor inches from Natalie-
Zrone: "... If Aulstyne asks, the nurse did it."
-He struts over to Natalie-
"... So. You were-"
-He looks at her arm- "... Huh. Interesting design. ... But no no no no this is so inefficient it hurts what are you using as your power source, there's so much room for streamlining and optimizing just... wasted for powering this... antique."
-He's kneeled down and running his hands over it for a few moments before stopping, and looking up- "... Actually first things first, I assume you're still alive and alright, seeing as your talking and breathing."

-Jacob has returned here and is reading, deciding on what he'll be wearing to Ren's party when the door bell goes off-
Regina: <... Guests? This late?>
Jacob: "I'll get it I'll get it..."
-He gets up- "Coming! Who's there?"
-The front door goes soaring off it's hinges, slamming into Jacob and plastering him against display case between the stair cases, knocking the silver Rayquaza statuette to the floor-

-Verax, Ezran, Jeremiah and Gordes are all playing Cards Against Humanity-
Verax: "Really Gordes? What even am I salty over a chainsaw deathscythe for?"
-There's a knock at the door-
"... I... didn't invite anyone over. What's-"
-The door splinters as a insectoid head bursts in-
"WHAT?!"
-Jeremiah leaps back and into a fridge, Gordes topples over in his chair, Ezran just stares and takes a long swig of her whiskey-

Colton's Phone
From: Colton Rever
She was that straightforward with you and you got a kiss?
I don't know if it's just me, but I think I was a little more straightforward, and I don't even think she knows my name. And even though I'm sorta glad she did it, what do you think she was getting at with those prophecies, if they even were at all accurate?
<You're begging to get struck->
"But that means she'll notice me!" He shot back before Julius could finish his remark.
