Megan: Anyways, we had no reason to do that. ^_^

Not the exact way we did, anyways.

Vee: <It was hilarious, though, the way it happened.>

Megan: In retrospect, yes! And from the other end, heh.

Vee: -cackling, firing her Gatling Gun- <Spite! Spite them, spite the world, spite yourself.>

Megan: -snickering- Pretty much.

Speaking of...

-she loads another Revive into her Arm Cannon-

Rich Girl: -feeling a nearby potted plant's leaves- Excellent.

-Megan hastily follows-

Rich Girl: -without raising her voice, but projecting- Now don't forget—

Natu: ~there's a passcode, and it's [Schrödinger's passcode]~

Rich Girl: —let them know Abilene Macraul sent you.

-without getting up, she pulls out a watering can and metes out a very specific amount into the potted plant, as someone else comes up to the table-

Lumiose, Outside

Megan: Oh thank god now we're on the hard part. I...guess we're doing this?

-many Natu-

Okay okay we're doing this! Geez...

-Natu-

ffffffrick, we're dealing with the flipping Macrauls again we are so fucked >_<;;

Lumiose, Random Person's House

-Megan goes up and rings the doorbell-

Someone Random: Yeees?

Megan: Um...[Passcode]...?

Someone Random: ...

-door-slam-

Megan: ...

Addie: -whistling, not listening-

Logan: I think I'm pretty much done here...

Seems pretty above-board, if mysterious and magical.

-Lila-

Addie: -whistles louder-

Logan: Lila, please take the scarf off, it's rude to eavesdrop

-Kai raises her eyebrows-

Kai: Oh? Do tell, what kinds of corporations?

Silas sighed and pulled his mask on, knocking again, "Open up."

-...-

Megan: ...yay, future?

-then there's a pitter-patter of returning feet, and the Random Person opens the door and shoves a wrapped-up package into Megan's hands-

Random Person: Here you go, my debt is repaid, praise Abilene, go away!

-door-slam-

Megan: -through the door- Um, we need where to go next...?

Random Person: IT'S ON THE PACKAGE, GOODBYE!

-further, more distant door-slam-

Main Quest: Dialga's Boot

Megan: ...okay then.

-she reads the address, types the directions into the phone, and heads out-

-the package is a bit messily wrapped, so she drops it into a used Present box and slips it into an outer pocket on her bag-

-walking, reading directions- Uh, so how do you feel about all this, Silas? Now that we're out of there.

Hoodie Person: -bumps into Megan-

Megan: Oh, s-sorry!

Hoodie Person: Er, n-no, I'm sorry!

-and they head the other way-

Silas turns and grips onto the Hoodie before they can leave, and he says in the lowest most detached tone possible,    "Halt..."   

Hacks is a little worried.

Silas turns to Megan and his tone returns to it's usual temper around her, "Megan I don't agree, but I don't have a choice really. Future me has already gone through this, and since he went through this, I have to, predestination, if we aren't careful we could end up possibly erasing ourselves from the timeline or worse, thus we have to."

Hacks sighs, ~Damn it future Silas.~

Silas smirks a bit, though because he's currently wearing his mask, "That being said, we just have to complete the jobs, I'm working on details for the Macraul family later."

Lumiose

Kaisei is here but staying quiet, at least glad it seems like they're not the only ones hesitant on being involved.

AU, Mt Mortar

Soujin: "... I dunno if a witch would-"

"...Wait, there was that glitch activity going on when I first showed up..."

-a Blue, who has probably not been in a corner crying for the last 24 hours, wanders out of the corner, trailed by a Sceptile-

Pleth: <You don't suppose they got lost, do you?>

Ever: I hope not; I'd feel terrible.

Pleth: <Would you?>

Ever: I mean, I guess I don't know. But I feel comfortable assuming.

Rod: Ones centered on scientific and interdimensional affairs.

-Laura waves at Ever-

Shizuo: ...Shit. Shit shit shit SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT

-Shirou meeps and hides behind Archer-

Lanakilla Center, past

Lane:Suuuuuure.

-Lane smirks. Maria giggles-

Champion's Chamber

Arthur:Down, but not yet out...I see.

-He smiles-

Then we shall end this! Come, Elysion!

-A previously unseen Sigilyph takes off from behind the throne-

Elysion:<I SHALL HEARALD THE END OF DAYS! HEAR MY VOICE, AND TREMBLE! I HERE DECLARE->

Iggy:Toxic.

Elysion:<eh.>

Venti: ^_^

Elysion:...<...GYAAAHAHAHAHA, AS THE PROPHESY FORETOLD! With my defeat shall come our MERCIFUL WINGED DEATH!!>

Iggy:Mr. Arthur, grampaaaaaa. Yer birb is shouting and I don't like iiiiiiit.

-Beat-

-Beat-

Mister...?

Arthur:-squeeeeee- She called me Grampaaaaaaaaa.

Lanakilla Center

-Lane sweatdrops-

Champion's Chamber

-Arthur regains his composure-

Arthur:Ahem. Anyway. We are on a timer now. Elysion, Air Cutter.

Elysion:-launches a blade of air-<GYAAAHAHAHAHA!!!>

Hoodie Person: A-ack!

Megan: -wide-eyed- Silas, what—

-and then the front pocket thing of their hoodie explodes with confetti-

Megan: ...

Hoodie Person: ...ow

Megan: -examines her backpack, which has had the pocket next to the pocket holding the package Box opened and rummaged through- ...

Hoodie Person: -shaky grin- ...U-uh, s-sorry, was this yours? I-I can give it back...

Wh-why do you just have a box of painful exploding confetti lying around...?

Megan: What the fuck, dude?

Hoodie Person: -defensively- L-look, I just wanted the delivery, okay?

-Megan pulls out the actual box and opens it-

Megan: -uncomfortably- Iiiis this some kind of drug, because—

Hoodie Person: -peering into the box- Nah, that's flour.

Megan: ...flour.

Hoodie Person: Like, for baking.

Megan: So you tried to steal...a box of baking flour.

Hoodie Person: I mean, I didn't know what was in the box.

Megan: ...

Hoodie Person: She makes really fancy stuff, okay?

Megan: ...Isn't stealing from this person—I got the impression that she's scary and taking her stuff might lead to a horrible painful social-or-possibly-Natu-related-actual death?

Hoodie Person: It's Natu as much of a bad idea as you might think.

Megan: -stare- ...

Hoodie Person: -raising hands- Okay, okay, so if we touch any of her plants, we die.

Megan: -nods-

Hoodie Person: And if we touch anyone growing any of her plants, we die. Because if we do, no one wants to grow her plants.

Megan: Okay. Wait, why are her plants way out here?

Hoodie Person: She's busy with more plants, apparently, and there's a bunch of people who'd grow 'em for free. She's a pretty big name in the gardening hobbyist community.

Megan: That guy didn't seem very happy about it.

Hoodie Person: Normally it's gardening enthusiasts. I dunno what was up with that guy.

Random Person: I pick ONE LEPPA

His Ledian: -pats-

Random Person: One SINGLE MEASLY TORTERRA-LEPPA

And have to take care of these STUPID FINICKY PLANTS

For a MONTH

Ledian: -in utterly fake supportive-mon tones, secure in the language barrier- <Geez, calm down, George. We got paid. And not, like, beat up.>

Random Person: -sobbing, while also eating a fancy cookie- The cookies make it slightly better

Hoodie Person: But like, she doesn't really care what happens to the stuff that comes from the plants? Not if it's out here.

Megan: ...okay.

Hoodie Person: And so we take it.

Megan: ...so why am I delivering this?

Hoodie Person: There's also a waiting list, for people who want to pay to get it. And not fight.

Megan: ...that sounds extremely, uncomfortably convoluted.

Hoodie Person: Welcome to Kalos.

Megan: I think this might just be a you thing.

Hoodie Person: -shrug- The world of gardening hobbyist product enthusiasts is a complex ecosystem. You wouldn't understand.

Megan: -wiping her eyes- Clearly...

Hoodie Person: There's an app.

Megan: Joy.

-something sinks in-

Megan: Wait, so,

you're telling me

That we need to go through the whole city with more of you breathing down our necks?

Hoodie Person: Pretty much. You got paid a lot of money, right?

Logan: -notices Ever- Oh, hey.

Addie: <How're you doing?>

-the Absol previously accompanying the Rich Girl is wandering down the street, humming, and only slightly high on Lansat-

-she may run across a Pichu-related commotion-

Absol: Mmm? What's this?

Agrabah

-The shadows quake-

-With flashing bronze Pent emerges from the shadows of the cave ready to strike-

Hm... The enemies are just dreams of formless goo? Does that mean I have permission to let loose a little?

Route 4

We've got healers up on the ridge. Priority targets.

-Pent tries to find some fault in their cover to pick them off-

Silas just looks at the passer by, and then grips them by the collar and pulls them close,    "Tell your friends and everyone like you to keep a wide berth, we have a debt to fill and if we fail, I will find every single one of you and make. Your. Lives. Hell."   

Silas dropped the individual and looked at Megan, "Let's get going."

Silas starts walking off to the next location, Hacks follows, <You might wanna calm down a bit...>

"Hacks I'm in a slight panic, I have no idea how the temporal mechanics actually work, if it is a complete time loop then we finish this no matter what... but for all I know the loop can be broken... what happens then?"

-Kai gives the briefest of glances and smiles to Ever before returning attention to Rod-

Kai: Interesting, I've heard quite a lot about some organizations of the sort. If I may be so bold, what might be the nature of these connections?

Lumiose

Eventually, the larger of the two Pichus manages to tackle the other and force him to the ground.

<Ah, sorry you had to see that, miss...?> Pichu the First apologized and asked.

Meanwhile, the other Pichu, who didn’t have a notched ear, was laughing off his adrenaline. <I’ll chase you next!> He offered to the other Pichu, only to be met with his big brother’s glare. He was promptly silenced and composed himself.

Rod: ...Um.

-he fidgets noticeably-

I'm the son of the owner of both but don't tell on me.

-Ever flashes a peace sign at Logan and Laura-

Ever: (to Addie) Well, y'know, it's been almost a week since the last time I had to have an extended feelings talk precipitated by an encounter with a stranger, but I think I'm hitting my stride with the whole thing.

-he blinks once at Kai, but then gives her a big, sunny smile-

Pleth: <...Hang on—>

Ever: (beatifically) It's polite to smile, Pleth.

Luka: <A Glitch might do it. And I've heard of peoplemons transforming with artifacts like evolution stones rather than moonlight.>

Kai: Aha. Lucky for you, I won't charge to keep a secret~

-She grins-

Kai: Anyway, as you might know, the J-Team is investigating an organization known as the Mobius Society, likewise an organization focused on interdimensional affairs. With your connections, it likely wouldn't be too difficult to gather a bit of information from them, would it? Perhaps, plans for the future, or information on their current administration, or whatever else you think is particularly relevant. Now, directly delivering the information in question to me won't be particularly handy; it would be better to deliver it to one known as Echo Lingua.

-She backs up a bit.-

Kai: Does that sound like a good deal?

Kaisei: "...So what I said about maybe being the scary guy? I take it back. You're the scary guy here."

Chum: <I dunno, feel like there's something else going on here...>

Eventually, the goo passes by a few other pirates.

Dewgong: <...Wait, what?>

Drapion: <...Great, they followed us back.>

They try stopping the party by attacking them.

Squealer: <Oh, nice! It's good with things go good!>

Hoodie Person: meeep

-and then they are dropped on their butt-

-Megan follows after Silas at a quick pace-

Hoodie Person: -calling after them, when they seem like a safe distance away- Uh, also if you see some people who sorta look like her, you might wanna make sure it doesn't get to them!

She gets kinda mad if they do!

Good luck, and stuff!

-...-

Megan: ...that was pretty awesome-intimidatey, Silas.

-as they come up on the destination (a bakery), they each may get a text-

Megan: -steaming-

Lumiose, Elsewhere

Absol: <Ahahaha~ You can call me Kat!>

-she sniffs at them-

<And who are you, little ones?>

Addie: -thumbs(?)-up- <That's good! I'm glad you're hitting your stride.> ^u^

Logan: Um.

-to Pleth- Seriously, are things good?

-being in the lead, the Plusle and Minun and Ceal get the brunt of it-

Them: <ACK!>

Plusle: <Rude!>

-she fires a Charge Beam at the Minun-

Minun: <...just passing through. You.>

-who Wild Charges at the Dewgong-

-Ceal takes a deep breath, and-

Ceal: -otherworldly shriek-

Thespi: !

<That's a fight!>

-she attempts to back the existing Tailwind with her own Castform-y specialty as they move as fast as they can-

Tripod: -chirps in a support-y way at Chum-

Rod: -poses- Ha! This already happens to coincide exactly with my current activities soooo...

-shakes Kai's hand vigorously-

You have yourself a deal!

Laura: Bro, you're being extra.

Rod: these are adult matters laura

-Laura and the Rabbids just snicker-

-Mass attack volley!-

Izaya: Indeed. You seem like an... Observant type.

Squealer: <Oh? I'm observant? Cool! What makes you say that?>

Hacks blinked, ~Well that worked... huh.~

"It makes more sense to roll intimidation and try to avoid future conflicts. I'll keep the mask on as we finish the job."

Upon getting the future text, Silas looked it over and smirked a bit, "Well then... that's interesting..."

~What is?~

"Nothing important."

Silas steps to the bakery and knocks, "Delivery."
