Channah: Yeah. Fixing problems isn't the whole goal here. And I, like, do trust you. Just... Maybe it'll help me pinpoint some things. An' like I said. I want you to know more about where I'm coming from. -winces- After you shared like a ton of stuff with me. You know.

There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.

Kai: Perhaps, yes. Or alternatively, a story with names changed to avoid being a one-to-one analogue, or a story that just isn't known in our world, or perhaps it does exist but the sheer fact that it's here prevents us from finding information to have prior knowledge of it, whether the information itself exists or not. For reference, though, what name did it give you?

Soleil: <We did!>

Igneous: <Good for you, whatever, let's just get out of this place.>

Farfetch'd DU: Very well! We shall be off, then!

-And so, they make their way back toward the entrance with relative ease.-

 Channah's House 

-To Channah-

Yeah, I know.

-Placing a hand on her shoulder-

Sorry about that, I know you don't like being touched, but I kinda need some sort of physical connection for this to work. Okay then, I'm going to peer into your mind, and then it'll happen.

-Focuses, and both parties enter a trance-

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Brie: It called itself Zemmalise. No idea what that's supposed to mean, if anything.

Atlantis: <It doesn't come from any Earth language!>

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

And for now, the curtain falls on the waking world.

...

...

...

So far, nothing. There are no sights, no feelings beyond a sense of oneself floating like a beacon in this sea of blankness.

Yet...

If one would allow some time to pass...

...It is not quite a perfect void, more like a thick, swirling, conspicuous haze of nothing. Perhaps obscuring something? Or someone?

what

who

There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.

-Kai ponders.-

Kai: ...Sounds somewhat like a portmanteau name to me. "Elise" plus something else that adds up to that. Of course, that's just a theory with minimal information to ground it, and I have no idea if it even makes sense with the nature of the thing.

-She shrugs.-

Kai: Anyway, that's not what we're here for, is it?

 Channah's Mindscape 

-Floating-

Interesting, I haven't seen one like this before...

-Calling out-

Channah? Can you hear me?

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

-Brie brightens up considerably, smiling-

Brie: Right! So, it's your city, where would we go to see a night sky?

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Something is there.

isit

A hint of curiosity flows through the dull emptiness. The presence feels foreign. Not native to this lack of place.

A faint, echoing voice greets Tagg, cutting through the expanse of nothing. It mimics his voice, but much faster-paced and with the same foreign quality.

itis

you,theInterloper

atlonglast

hooray

...Somehow, despite the faint ethereal tone, it sounds a bit sarcastic.

There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.

 Channah's Mindscape 

-Confused-

Interloper? You don't feel native to this place, even my negative aspects still feel like part of me. Who are you?

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

-Nix pipes up-

Growlithe!Nix: <There's the Golden Forest up north! The trees are, like, always autumn colors no matter what time of the year, it's really pretty! I could just head home for a bit while you two are being adorable~>

-Kai blushes-

Kai: Er, right. That's an option. Yeah. I'm sure there's some clearing with a fairly open sky there. But, uh, it would require passing by the towers.

IamHale,ofcourse

With that, there is a feeling like a hole being savagely ripped in the fabric of nothing and a sudden sensation of falling. Upwards.

Into water.

There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.

-Brie is not sure how to feel about a Ho-oh, even a baby one, weighing in on her personal life-

Brie: I think that would be fine? Ho-oh doesn't, like...get out much, right?

Halcyon: <Oh. You're saying words.>

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Growlithe!Nix: <Psh, you don't need to worry about my dad. He's extra, but he's no party crasher. He has to have a good reason to show up.>

Kai: Uh... yeah. Okay then. It'll be fine. Right?

 Channah's Mindscape 

Whoa!

-Falls upwards into the water-

You know, this is kinda like how my own Mindscape works, but without the Station of Awakening.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Brie: Yeah, not a problem! So.

-she...well, Brie is not really a person who could ever be said to smirk, but her grin is a lot more self-assured than average-

Brie: Feel like riding pillion for this one?

-she gestures up to Atlantis, who has been chilling out on the roof of the Center. Atlantis waves down at the two-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

-Kai grins, a faint blush lingering on her cheeks.-

Kai: I'd love to.

Growlithe!Nix: <Have fun!>

-She yips, poofs into a Pidgey form, and takes off toward the Bell Tower.-

Brie: Alright!

-Atlantis hops down, landing surprisingly lightly for her size, and leans down, Brie climbing up by her neck. She smiles down at Kai-

Brie: Hop on.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Kai: -under her breath- Holy shit I'm so gay

-She smiles back, and climbs on, holding on tight to Brie-

Mauville

Sapphire headed Shaun's comment.

Sapphire: <Incorrect! Wrong answer! Why I oughta...>

Sapphire began firing a Psybeam at Shaun.

Lila: OK! That's enough! Back to your pokeball!

Lila returned Sapphire to her pokeball.

I used to plug my deviantart here but turns out the link was too long.

-Shaun sidesteps the Psybeam.-

Shaun: "Dude. Not cool."

Mauville

Lila turned bright red.

Lila: I'm so sorry about Sapphire! She just.. You know.... Takes pride in her appearance a little too much.

-everyone is standing around watching people-

Pippy: -looks at Tiny Human!Automa, adoringly-

-the five of them sleep, and listen-

-in one of those minds, as the Hypnosis strikes deeper, attempting to alter it, there's a crystalline ting that echoes silently throughout it-

-1, 2, 3, 4, 5-

-...they awaken, blinking, as, subconsciously, a new Aspect makes itself known in most of their Mindscapes-

Thespi: -uncertainly, but sincerely- <...thank you.>

Ceal: <Th-thanks...>

-Tripod nods gratefully at Ninetales! Human!Ammy, then looks more urgently at Copper-

Plusle: -to the Minun, grinning- <Still me?>

Minun: <...still you.>

Plusle: <Ditto. Awesome.>

-the Minun smiles-

Plusle: -to Ammy- <Thanks, pal!>

No mind to think. No will to break.

Those who had their eyes closed open them.

Dawson: <Shame that couldn't have been done on Basil...>

Enzo might have gotten a scent but regardless, Copper looks at Tripod.

Copper: <Okay, think I got him.>
