ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Psyche nods. ~Definitely. Oh! I know! Hang on, I shouldn't be the one to tell you though.~

She waves at Diane, who presumably is nearby.

Right! Sorry! ^_^;

-Pent poses a little bit-

So much energy in this getup.

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Mordred: "... Comforting."

Artoria: "Well then."

-they also blink-

Megan: Um...if this thing/entity can do...something to cities, shouldn't we...shouldn't we...

-she stops and buries her face in her hands-

-muffled- Aaaaaaaaaaa

-then she pulls herself together-

Megan: Do we have reason to believe the glitch in this amulet is malicious?

Vee: <In other words, should we prevent it or help it to get what it wants?>

Pippy: <Which sounds like finding this...Gudrunn?>

Kaito: "Pal"? Since when do you call people "pal"?

Diane: I use lots of words for lots of things.

Kai: I can tell! It's so cool how wearing some specific outfit affects your demeanor. I mean, just look at Jacob "wears a suit and feels POWERFUL" Iridis.

Celadon — Nowish

Echo: Appropriate response. You'll be using that response format an awful lot with the J-Team.

Ersatz Alliance

Yeah! Yeah... Maybe my usual look was kinda dragging down my mood a bit...

-He sighs and ponders something-

... Now I kinda want to cover all the Contest moods.

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Psyche smiles. ~Hey babe~ We need some good things to talk about, and I know there's a good thing you're eager to talk about~~

-The door to the store is kicked open and with a flourishing gust of air-

-Standing, silhouetted against the high noon sun, is a Gardevoir, Gallade, and between them, a man on a Metagross-
what are you doing
Jacob: "Did someone-" -He brushes his hand across his face to get his bangs out of his eyes, ephemeral sparkles trailing off his fingertips-
WHAT
"Call for me?"

"If there is no way to win, I will simply force a way."

 Battle Subway 

-Is checking out the shops-

I'll find that Little Poké Puff Company somewhere...

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

-The Yamask doesn't respond.-

Farkas: <It's not getting up for a while.>

-He motions for everyone to follow him.-

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Diane: Oh, right!

-She flushes a bit.-

Diane: I, um... I'm going to propose to Skye!

Kaito: Holy shit, that's great! Wow, good luck, I'm— wow, that's wonderful!

Kai: ...Jacob you beautiful fantastic creature. You magnificent man of magic.

Psyche claps her hands and smiles. ~I've already got so many plans~ Obviously Kaito's gotta be part of the whole shebang, right?~

-Cris looks uncertain for a bit, but follows after Tsubasa does-

"life is just a series of increasingly canon-eluding ao3 tags" ~ everydunsparce "Keep your hellfruit away from me, tempter" ~ also Every

Ersatz Alliance

Yeah that'll be f-

-Oh hey incredibly extra Jacob with added bishie sparkle-

H-hi. ... You been fae'd up too?

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Silas pulls out his pDroid and begins to scan the area as well. "Just what secrets is this place hiding."

~And why did it cost you a few pizzas to learn about?~

"Hey Pizza is always welcome."

Pizza Parlor — Past

Kaito: Of course I'll be a part of this whole shebang! Skye's my cousin, you're my best friend, the three of us are the original Team Icarus, there's no way I'm missing out on this!

Diane: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~

Ersatz Alliance — Present

-Kai shakes her head-

Kai: Nah, that's just Jacob. He gets like this when I'm around. It's beautiful and magnificent and I need to get back at him for this eventually.

-She points directly at him.-

Kai: You will not thwart me in this contest of fabulousness!

-The wind blows her hood off and causes her hair to whip behind her.-

Ersatz Alliance

Jacob: -Smiles and jumps off Argentum- "Hey Kai."
wait kai
-His face drops as he looks at Pent- "No? Is... Is that a thing?"
ca n y u g ys hear m ?
-He shrugs- "At any rate. I saw you guys in here and I thought I'd hop in and just happened to have perfect timing."
Pl a e! It s d rk
-Regina steps forward-

Regina: <Kai, it's been a while->

-She's cut off by the hood and wind-

Jacob: -Smiles as the gust of wind sets his jacket fluttering forward-

-He pivots so he'd be profile to Kai and Pent, drawing back his arm and turning his head towards Kai in time with a forceful flinging forward of his arm to point at the fae drama queen-

-Somehow there's a gust from behind them that sets Jacob's coat and hair fluttering backward, the lapels of his suit and the buttons sparkling- "I'm sorry, I won't what?"

"If there is no way to win, I will simply force a way."

Ersatz Alliance

... W-well alright then...

-Pent is just kinda confused and backs off slightly-

Well I'm just gonna try and find some Smart while you two pose at each other for an hour yes?

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Ersatz Alliance

-Kai holds the pose for a good fourteen seconds, staring intensely, before dropping it and tilting her head.-

Kai: I thought I told you it was a thing? Like I know I told you I'm a part of the thing but I could have sworn I mentioned Gabe and/or the Memitos. It's super a thing.

-She smiles-

Kai: But no, I'm done! I'm good. Back to shopping~ It was nice seeing your face, Jake!

Celadon, Megan

Jackie: It... Kinda does? I dunno.

Rosetta: <It has attempted nothing drastic other than the clinging... Yet.>

Ruin

-Zumi tiptoes-

-Arika continues stealth mode-

Contact Me!

Psyche is absolutely giddy. ~So like, obviously Alyssa, Noelle, and I have to be Bridesmaids, right? ~

"If I am to be met with disrespect, then I must first love myself with a fierceness no fool can take away." - Vraska, Gorgon assassin

Jacob: -He drops the pose in perfect sync with Kai- "You told me, I just, thought it was just a you thing. Or at least not widespread for people to think it was going on with me."
...
"But yeah, nice seeing you too. I'll be around!"
please
-And he and his entourage turn around and duck out-

"If there is no way to win, I will simply force a way."

Ersatz Alliance

-Pent has already gone back to shuffling through the racks. He's currently looking at a nice pristine labcoat with a green sweater underneath... Wait no that'll probably make him look old and stodgy and racist against synthetic beings-

-Might switch tactics and look at Cute or Beauty because it'll get us to using the amulet quicker-

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Pizza Parlor — Past

Diane: I-I mean, yeah! But babe pls slow down I'm still trying to figure out the question-popping bit I dunno if I can do this

Kaito: Hey. Hey Diane. Hey. Spoiler alert, you can do this. You can do it. You can and will do it.

Ersatz Alliance

Kai: Oh. Yeah, I hear you. Anyway see you! 💜

-She waves, and turns to Pent again-

Kai: Sorry about the extraneous extraness, where were we?

Amber continues to pull at Creepfrog with an excitable fervor as Remy is left alone for the time being.

Poor kid.

Solana: Well then, would you like some wine or beer or spirits or just something like a cola or lemonader? I'll get you one while I refill my own drink~

I'm having to learn to pay the price
