Ever: I know, we've met~
-his smile spreads just a little as he turns to Lita. 20% more of the face, 0% more of the emotion-
He's on our groupchat. I've texted you the number. Go nuts.
-with that, some of the energy seems to drain out of him. As he looks back at Kai, his smile is smaller, but seems a little more genuine-
I'm sorry, I'm not really feeling any kind of human interaction right now. Brie?
Brie: Huh?
Ever: You want hot chocolate? I can't imagine it's enjoyable for you hanging out with us introverts.
Brie: Oh, uh, sure.
-she gives Kai and Lita a sheepish smile-
If that's alright?
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.About Midnight Last Night
-Eggdrasil is about to go on a rampage, Aphrodite atop it... When it vanishes-
-Alli, Jean, and Neon are about to strike back, and Jean to exit her ship... When they vanish-
-Everyone here does likewise-
-Everyone ends up here-
-And a man and his Actual Dog walk up onto the scene-
Me: Okay, folks, that's a wrap.
Alphos: Huh? My big comeback was just getting started!
Steve: Why would you interrupt our first collab?
Me: Because it's late. On my end twelve hours late.
My!Pidge: -arf-
Me: Yes, sweetie, I know you want to meet the new people but this is official writer buisness.
Jared:' Hey Joe! How's it going?
Me: Decent. Easter Fools was productive. You enjoying the world of WAAPT?
Jared: Hell yeah! I got to be Nic Cage!
-Everyone else is staring in confusion-
Me: Heh, that's great! Also all of you guys can go back to normal now. Except you, Kalbis, you're here until this Thursday's session.
Kalbis: Okay.
-whoosh-
-Aaaaand everyone but Kalbis, Steve, and Alphos is here, none the worse for wear-
-Well, except Aphrodite, kinda. She has a new Heavy Ball on her person-

Contact Me!Lita looks at her phone.
"Huh. Cool. Thanks."
"The more the merrier!"
GIVE ME YOUR FACE-Kai beams-
Kai: Why wouldn't it be? We'd be glad to have you.
Ever: Pleasure doing business.
-and he's back to vacantly staring at the ceiling-
-Brie, meanwhile, goes very red-
Brie: Alright! ^_^
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.Lita heads with Kai and Brie.
GIVE ME YOUR FACEThe Academy
Dr. Hayes: Take a meditative stance and remain still. This will not be the usual tests or therapies.
Delphi Ten-Eyes: ~I can see that, Doctor.~
Dr. Hayes: Yes, well. You are the first of the three of you, so it pays to be prepared.
Delphi Ten-Eyes: ~As much as I appreciate the foresight, Doctor, I would much rather see this done quickly.~
Dr. Hayes: Indeed. Now, this "Persona" you are being infused with is a peculiar entity, apparently an interpretation of an ancient sun goddess. We do not even know her name - as much information as we have, the culture that worshiped her was destroyed in the Bronze Age Collapse and left no written records. Be ready for anything.
-Delphi closes her eyes.-
-Doctor Sean Hayes nods to the assistant, who starts up the transfer sequence.-
-The equipment lights up, and begins to sing as Delphi's readings suddenly show her in deep REM sleep.-
-Dr. Hayes leans on his palms, trying to observe any changes in Delphi's position. He isn't sure whether to be disappointed or relieved that she remains completely still.-
-The equipment's song comes to a close, and the lights dim. Delphi's eyes open.-
Dr. Hayes: How do you feel, Delphi?
Delphi Ten-Eyes: ~I feel... at balance.~
Dr. Hayes: Do you feel well enough to join the retaliatory force?
Delphi Ten-Eyes: ~No. My influence would be unneeded... An unnecessary weight.~

-An unmarked truck climbs the slope to the top of the Pyrite Plateau. It does not turn towards town.-
-Kai smiles-
Kai: Sweet! I know just the place.
-One timeskip later, the group has presumably ordered drinks and gotten seated-
Bond or Break
The fourth mon-turned-human began to speak for the show. “Colton... I’m still grateful for you bothering to care for me as I still attempt to understand this place. I’m putting up a good front understanding, right? Heh. Anyway.
“Who am I?”
“Roy,” Colt answered. “How did you even get here?
“9-Volt just told me “April Fool’s.” Anyway, who did your team defeat in the league before we had that heart-to-heart?”
“Let me think... High Jump Kick... Body Slam... Glacia, the Ice-type trainer!”
“Indeed. Number 3: Name the kingdom I cannot wait to return to despite the fact that I know it’s not real.”
Colt bit his tongue. “Look,” Roy said behind the distorted voice. “I’m glad you told me up front when I asked you, but I’m still trying to recover from the revelation.”
“Ah, jeez... I never played your game... uh, it starts with an F, I think... I got nothing, sorry.”
Roy growled before exhaling. “Lycia,” he spat. “Meh, it’s fine - I never really told you anyway,” he conceded. And with that, he left, not to be seen again by Colt until he returned from the Magic Mirror.
[Insert Unoriginal Stinger Here]Lita looks down in her hot chocolate. The barista had drawn a Duskull out of cream in it.
"This place has a particular...'style'?"
GIVE ME YOUR FACE-Brie is drinking her hot chocolate-
Brie: It's...incredibly strong. Wow.
It's nice though.
-she smiles-
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.She narrowly dodges the spear thrown back at her, and goes after it to retrieve it so it doesn't kill anyone.
F!Grima!Robin: " Hmpf. Pathetic. No true alternate of mine would flee the field of battle. "
" Come then, heroes. Meet your end! "
Without the counterbalance of the Pokerisen and fae, the Risen surge forth, intending to swarm everyone.
Mordred cotninues to blender them, but it's not enough.
F!Robin takes Sumia's hand, and is presumably helped onto her pegasus.
Artoria makes her way over to F!Robin, and whispers something. F!Robin nods, and looks towards F!Grima!Robin as Artoria starts preparing... something
F!Robin: "You'll take no more from anyone, fiend. We ensured that once, we can do it again. FOR YLISSE!"
The first Thoron bolt is aimed at Kasumi, and is easily blocked by a summoned Grima wing. The second one clips F!Grima!Robin, who was, for all her power, unable to react in time.
She seems pissed.
Kasumi retaliates with another shadow beam at F!Robin
Another Grima breath is aimed at the group around Chrom.
All are significantly abnormal in a normal world... All are significantly normal in an abnormal world.The GM House
-Ludmilla gives a hard kick, sending a rock tumbling.-
-She's not sure what to do with herself now that she's got a League championship under her belt. Maybe try Mt. Battle?-
-She gives another rock a kick.-
-Perhaps she could try doing what Dad and Uncle Tagg did and go wandering through the wilderness. She's got plenty of experience living off the land.-
-She gives another rock a kick and it hits something.-
-Ludmilla's eyes focus to find a group of people in front of her as the unmistakable malaise of an SEP field burns away.-
-And holy crap the guy at the lead is huge.-
Bruce the Chopper: 'Ello.
-Ludmilla slaps her wristwatch and a blaring alarm starts up. Every Pokeball in the house releases as the Templar assault team rushes forward.-
Hajime: "He is, yeah."
Buddy: <Er wait, please don't->
Kalbis might feel that Buddy's a bit sharp. And that she needs to make a CON save.
-Kai giggles-
Kai: I think it's a charming place. It's just enough to the "cutesy goth" side. I like to think it fits me~ Just a little less subtle, is all.
-She smiles, taking a sip of her hot chocolate-
Kai: And the drinks are really good.
Kalbis: Ow! Little fellow's poky.
...
... ...
... ... ...
...I feel a bit woozy...
Petalburg Warehouse, yesterday
-Sends out Thresher-
Thresher: -Appears-
Iron Head!
Thresher: -Launches himself at the Nidorina-
Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.Buddy: <Erm...>
Hajime: "Uh..."
He gets out a Pecha Berry and offers it to Kalbis.
Hajime: "He's got poisonous thorns. This should help, though."
"life is just a series of increasingly canon-eluding ao3 tags" ~ everydunsparce "Keep your hellfruit away from me, tempter" ~ also EveryCerbeau: *noticing Leo* <Everything okay?>
Leo: Yeah, but... Do you remember anything that happened yesterday?
Cerbeau: <No, what happened?>
Leo: Well... *using the photos he took on his phone to help explain* I woke up with superpowers, you guys were gone, I was with this robot, the sky was full of eggs, I think it was raining fish Pokemon at one point...
Icy!Blitzwing: *suddenly enters in* <Vait, zhat vas jou?>

[insert something relating to myself here]-The Nidorina yelps as it's hit by the Iron Head-
Nidorina: <Oof! I don't think I'm gonna do much to you...>
Illusion Grunt: Toxic Spikes!
-The Nidorina rolls around aggressively on the ground near Thresher, splintering it and covering it in poison.-
Lita gives Kai a once over.
"Aw. Goth lite. I get it."
-siiiiiiips-
GIVE ME YOUR FACE-Mezzo is in another call with her parents-
Mezzo: You were in on this, weren't you?
Mia: Of course we were, dear! It's not every day that you get to be pranked by your time-traveling future sister!
Vincent: But don't worry, you are our real daughter.
Mezzo: Wait, wait, hold on. The time travel thing is real? This is actually Fortis from the future?
Gail: Of course! It wouldn't work if it was the present-day version of me, and besides, if I remember correctly I'm dealing with Astral becoming a black hole and— actually I'd better not say anything else, it might cause a paradox.
Mia: We know this isn't your first encounter with time travel either, sweetheart.
Mezzo: You literally went back in time just to pull a trick on me?
Gail: Yep! Well, and to fix some timeline issues, but mostly just for that.
Mezzo: I am so going to murder you.
Gail: I'm amazed you didn't ask who the father was. I had a list of about 15 different answers, each more improbable than the last.
Vincent: Oh, that would have been a riot!
Gail: Anyway, I'd better head out. Don't want to cause any more timeline mess-ups. Bye, Piano! I'll say hi to your future self!
-Gail leaps out the window onto a waiting Talonflame, and flies off-
Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.
-Kai smiles at Ever-
Kai: Hey, don't worry, she's one of us. Well, one of five sixths of us. Anyway, we were about to go get hot chocolate, any of you wanna join?
-She raises an eyebrow at Lita's question but says nothing-
