weeeeeeeeeeeeeeell
what was the proposal like? when was it? who proposed to who? who all was In On ItTM during the prep phase? please don't tell me it was like a Rich People Proposal where there was some fuckin seeming "no" in front of a massive crowd of people before they went around and actually said "yes" because for ho-oh's sake it's not supposed to cause a mass heart attack

Dunsparce Cloud
Amanita: Are you sure this is a good idea?
Ever: Nope!
-Ever and Amanita are standing across from each other. Amanita has Dinacia out, while Ever has yet to send out a Pokemon-
Amanita: Ever...
Ever: What? I gave a stranger, albeit a legendary, license to perform unknown and unsupervised workings on the arm that was given to me by another legendary. I think a healthy skepticism regarding my own decisions is in order here. Plus, this thing is lodged in my arm now, which means "giving Brie a hand" may end up being uncomfortably literal.
Amanita: I just think you should be careful. When I Mega Evolved Phobos, he got really amped up and paranoid, and he started attacking everything in sight.
Phobos: <Not my proudest moment.>
Dinacia: <It's alright. None of us blame you.>
Ever: I mean, you got your Mega equipment from a ghost in the woods. She probably planned that all out as some sort of elaborate prank.
Amanita: And where'd you get yours?
Ever: Fairy in a weird shop.
Dinacia: <I worry deeply for you.>
Amanita: Is that better?
Ever: I guess I'm about to find out.
-he examines a Mega Stone-
So, just given like, coloration, I think I've got a stone for Sceptile. I'm not sure what this other one is, it doesn't match any of my Pokemon.
Amanita: I'm sure you'll find out eventually. Probably at the worst possible moment.
Ever: Or the best.
Amanita: Sure.
Ever: I admit, I'm sort of surprised they gave me the one for Sceptile instead of Altaria. Salamence has been with me...well, longer than anyone but Diesel and Breeze at this point. I'm guessing it's either a "starter" joke or part of a more insidious campaign to induce character development.
Salamence: -letting herself out- <It could also be foreshadowing. Don't forget foreshadowing.>
Ever: Wish I could. You're not jealous or anything?
Salamence: <Envious. And no, I'm pretty sure I'd still win a fight against Pleth.>
-Ever pets her-
Ever: I'll see what I can do about finding the Stone for you. And Spathi and Solace, too.
Salamence: <It'll happen~>
Amanita: You two are dorks.
-Ever sticks his tongue out. Salamence just trills a smug note-
-Ever sends out Pleth-
Pleth: <Hey. You got your transactions all done?>
Ever: Yeah.
-he holds up the Sceptilite, which he's made into a pendant, and tosses it to her. She catches it with no difficulty, putting it on, and turning to face Dinacia-
Dinacia: <Hm. I think I can take you.>
Pleth: <Doubt it.>
Ever: Ready, Pleth?
Pleth: <Heck yeck.>
Ever: Dude.
Pleth: <What?>
Ever: This is momentous.
Pleth: <It's cool is what it is. Go on, light me up already!>
Ever: Heh, okay.
-he crosses his arms. As promised, the pattern lights up-
Amanita: That's surreptitious.
Pleth: <It is a little extra.>
Salamence: <Oh, hush, it's about the presentation~>
Amanita: Dinacia, get ready.
Dinacia: <Right.>
-she braces herself, as a cocoon of light forms around Pleth-
-and then dissipates, revealing the Sceptile unchanged-
Ever: ...Huh.

-To Channah-
Latter, it's merely dangerous due to the Vowless mons that are more likely to attack people if hungry, though. It does seem to only appear to those with willpower though.
Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.
like christ, but with more nails
Channah: Vowless... Okay. Like, people who are driven? Or something?
There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.
No voice to cry suffering
-a Voltorb appears, accompanied by a shortish, dark-skinned Ranger in uniform, with a scarf-wearing Pachirisu on their shoulder and, unusually, three Pokéballs on their belt-
???: -through an empathic link, near the speed of thought, accompanied by a steady back-and-forth of emotions- (A "surprise"? That's new. )
Voltorb: (Totally. You'll love it.)
???: (I'm interested.)
-out loud- No mission briefing this time?
Pachirisu: -hearing this, sparks up- <We do still need context to operate effectively, you know.>
Voltorb: <But there isn't a problem for you to solve this time! Or, well...heheheheh.>
(This is a bit different from usual~)
Pachirisu: -familiarly, vaguely irritated- <You'd better be giving all the details to Logan, ball.>
Voltorb: (That's all I've got for ya! (You'll meet someone!)(Can't wait!))
-to the Pachirisu- <Ask again later~>
??? Logan: (That's ominous. Where do we start?)
Voltorb: (Wait and see!)
Logan: (...Thanks again, 8-Ball. Take care.)
Voltorb 8-Ball: -sincerity, but also intent to make it sound as cheerfully sarcastic as possible- <(Take care~!)>
-the Pachirisu sticks her tongue out at them-
(Why do you mess with her so?)
-lightly- (She messes with me! It's only fair~)
(Fair enough.)
-as the Voltorb departs in a flash of lightning, the link fades, and Logan and the Pachirisu are left-
Logan: -glancing over at her- Why do you mess with them so?
Pachirisu: -flippantly- <They're an ass. It's only fair.>
-Logan smiles-
Logan: -raising a finger- Ah, but they're a helpful ass.
-the Pachirisu hmphs, with little weight behind it-
-grinning, looking at their Styler's GPS- For never messing with our business, for who they've helped us save, for an utter absence of malice...we can deal with ass. Their ass has class.
Pachirisu: -absently- <More like pass.>
-there's a text notification ping-
To: Beloved Pawns (looking at you, 'chu!<3)
Good luck<3
(You'll need it<3)
Pachirisu: -louder- <Or maybe brass! Crude and crass.>
Pachirisu: -double Emolga in random directions-
Logan: -laughing- If you had your way, it'd be grass, I know. But we've got work to do! Let their plasticine posterior be, Addie.
Pachirisu: Addie: -sighing- <Yeah, yeah. We're professionals.>
-they give a thorough glance over the surroundings for anything relevant-
Logan: C'mon, let's see what "destiny"'s got in store for us this time.
-they set off in the most promising-seeming direction, keeping an eye out for anyone in distress, or...whatever they're here for-
Mauville, now
-after a few hours of helping wild mons with various, decidedly not life-shattering issues, Logan and Addie are here, now accompanied by an Emolga wearing a scarf-
Emolga: <This was hours ago? And no word since?>
Addie: <Yeah, and they didn't respond after the third insult like they usually do.>
Emolga: <Concerning. So...what now?>
Logan: -getting the gist- Well, there's always asking around.
-they may wander by Alyesha-

-To Channah-
Mons that do not follow the Vow. The drive that would bring you somewhere like this in the first place.

Channah: So, "I felt like going here with Tagg" probably isn't adequate, then.

Matvey noticed them walking by, waving, causing Alyesha to look as well

-To Channah, as the area starts feeling... weird-
You're still walking despite what I just told you, aren't you? That's good enough.

- January 30, 2018
- Ace 2 Tsunami
- Just Ace
- No
No voice to cry suffering
Logan: -smiling- Hello!
Addie: -to Matvey- <Hello!>
Logan: This might be a bit of an odd question, but...you wouldn't happen to have heard of anything or anyone that might really need a hand around here, would you? I recieved what I assumed was a distress call, but in retrospect it might've been something else entirely. Officially, I need to make sure, though.
-they pull out their Capture Styler-

good, good, good, good, and THANK GOODNESS
im reminded that skye and i have made like zero progress getting our own wedding stuff planned since i proposed to her like three months ago
which i mean, we're in no rush but like
gotta figure something out eventually
probably gonna ask dune if he'd be up for being the planner whenever we get around to it bc he's the one person on this team who has his shit 110% together

that's fair.
Like, I found Shaun eating ice cream straight out of the pint.
At 4 in the morning.
While he was watching anime.

-The area opens up to a massive building-
Welcome... to the Cathedral. Which is kind of a misnomer but I've called it that since it was the closest thing that compared.

-Shaun hands Jamie his ice cream as they walk down the street.-
Jamie: <Mmm...>
-The sky cracks.-
Shaun: "What the fuck, man? Can't we at least finish our ice cream?"
-A Lucario on a Delta Rapidash falls out of the portal.-
Shaun: "..."
-Followed by a Delta Scyther, a Garbodor, and a Delta Leavanny. All on Delta Rapidashes.-
-Well, the last one looks black but is a Fire-type but whatever.-
Shaun: "This bodes well."
Laurent: <How peculiar.>
Lucina: <Indeed. Who brought us here, though...>
Laurent: <We will discover them. It's excellent that you are all unharmed, even Robin.>
Sumia: <Why'd you say it that way?>
Laurent: <Er, my sincere apologies. I only meant to imply that I was suprised to find Robin here because we watched her perish. Considering the circumstances with Emmeryn, however, I suppose it would be wise to not assume that someone is dead unless we recover the body.>
Sumia: <I know what you meant.>
Lucina: <I'm glad to see you, Laurent. Displeased, obviously, given the circumstances, but glad.>
Laurent: <I understand, Lucina. I'm glad to see you too.>
Sumia: "NOW KISS!"
Lucina: <Would you like to spar, Laurent? We need to train in these forms in case we have to fight in them.>
Laurent: <It would be my pleasure, Lucina. I would recommend exercising caution around fragile objects, however.>
Sumia: "Close enough."

Channah: -pauses, looking up- Oh. Nice. -walks up to where Tagg is- Did you discover this place, then?

Ever: Okay, so that happened.
Pleth: <I feel no change.>
Ever: Yeah, I'm fairly certain nothing happened.
Pleth: <Defective rock?>
Ever: Probably not.
Amanita: Not enough adrenaline? I mean, we're technically battling, but it's pretty low-stakes.
Pleth: <I'm up for trying it.>
-she jerks her head at Dinacia, who doesn't seem impressed-
Dinacia: <You're certainly welcome to but I don't recommend it.>
Ever: I don't think that's it either.
Pleth: <Fatigue?>
Ever: I mean, I'm feeling pretty awake at the moment.
Amanita: ...Some sort of fae thi—
Ever: You are a Poison trainer, but nonetheless I feel comfortable ruling that out in this context.
Pleth: <Well, it can't be a problem with our bond. We're pals.>
Ever: Pals.
Amanita: Well, yes, but...it's Ever we're talking about. His emotional barriers are made of smaller, interleaved sub-barriers.
Ever: (dryly) You're not wrong.
Amanita: I don't hold my emotions back, ever.
Ever: Were you saying that you never hold your emotions back, or were you using my name for emphasis?
Amanita: I think you're smart enough to figure that out on your own. Anyway, I have my own problems with Mega Evolution—
Phobos: <Sorry!>
Amanita: It's not just you! Can you imagine if I let Kazekage Mega Evolve?
Phobos: -whimpers-
Amanita: —but I'm open with my team. Brie too. You're open with some of them, but, let's face it, you probably have work to do.
Ever: -sighs- I have been smacked in the face by my coping mechanisms far too frequently this arc.
Salamence: <Huh, I guess it was about character development.>
Pleth: <So no cool missile tail for me?>
Ever: Apparently we need to open up to each other first.
Pleth: <Boooo. Screw the feelings talk, give me my kickass power-up!>
Amanita: ...So maybe the problem isn't just on your end.
Ever: Hey now. You can mock me, but leave my team out of it.
Pleth: -clapping- <Missile tail! Missile tail!>
Amanita: You two are incredible.
Ever and Pleth: (equally sarcastically) Thanks!>
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.
Channah: Cool. -beat- Wait, is this like a formal bet or is it just dangerous?
