-Corrin barely even registers that the other two are talking, she's so engrossed.-

Corrin: You know, that girl really reminds me of one of the girls from the party. You know the one, right? The one with the really buff brother?

Channah: You wanna go there tomorrow, then? We could eat and then go see it.

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

Artoria: "Now that you mention it..."

Mordred: "... Oh. Huh. I never actually made that connection. Yeah."

Between the grenades and the fire from the other Rabbids, Rin and Archer are effectively pinned in cover, though both still receive moderate scrapes.

Rabbid!Rin, meanwhile, has just hit the deck and is miraculously okay, more or less.

... Well, less rather than more, but she's not out.

Archer: <This is moderately irritating.>

Rin: "Suppresing fire generally is, yes!"

She pokes out of cover, fires a couple shots off, and goes back in cover, surprisingly unscathed.

Archer fires a grenade arrow in the general direction of a bunch of Rabbids.

Rabbid!Rin manages to find the composure and break in fire to get to cover.

All are significantly abnormal in a normal world... All are significantly normal in an abnormal world.

AU!Shaun: "Home? No, home is...there."

-He gestures in the vague direction of southeast Sinnoh.-

AU!Shaun: "No, this is where my life took a turn. Where it all started."

-Lucina blinks at f!Robin.-

Lucina: <Not really.>

Sumia: "You are your father's daughter..."

Laurent: <Perhaps we could spar with him, assuming he has enough self-control to not attempt to slaughter us?>

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Corrin: Yeah. It's a rather silly connection to make, admittedly...

-She repositions herself, curling up with Artoria to continue watching-

Artoria: "I suppose art can imitate life, occasionally."

She smiles happily as cuddling happens.

All are significantly abnormal in a normal world... All are significantly normal in an abnormal world.

-Corrin smiles and cuddles.-

---

---

-At the end of their binge, Corrin is left in awe and amazement.-

Corrin: ...Artoria I have a new favorite thing.

 Ruins Museum, past 

-To Channah-

Yeah, sure.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Artoria: "I'm... glad?"

Mordred: "You know if you liked that I can go grab another one in the same franchise, though a different timeline. Shit's weird, yo. Not a magical girl anime, though."

Artoria: "Oh Arceus."

All are significantly abnormal in a normal world... All are significantly normal in an abnormal world.

Brie: Oh! Uh!

-she giggles-

I really like spending time with you too.

Am I reading into that too much? Um, maybe if I..

-she hesitates-

Click!

Brie: Augh!

Ever: Thank you, Rotary.

Rotary: <Please don't.>

Brie: Ever!

Ever: Brie.

Brie: Weren't you on the Stormchaser?

Ever: I was.

Brie: I just saw you when I left.

Ever: True.

Brie: That's Every's Claydol.

Ever: Correct.

Brie: But Every is with Atlantis.

Ever: Something like that.

Brie: Are you making a space-time anomaly?

Ever: No comment.

Brie: Why?

Ever: Because I don't want to admit to anything that might get me smited. Timelines are complicated.

Brie: No, I mean why are you here?

Ever: You're overthinking. It's gay. She's gay. You're gay. Y'all are gay.

Brie: What?

Ever: You heard me.

Brie: You appeared out of nowhere, possibly fracturing the space-time continuum, to tell me I'm gay?

Ever: Yes.

Brie: At least I know you're not an imposter.

Ever: I'm inimitable.

Brie: You're in- something.

Ever: I'm right.

-he waves at Kai-

Heya, bud. 💙

Brie: How did you do that with your—

-Ever snaps his fingers, and clicks away-

-...-

Brie: ...That. ...Happened.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

-Kai giggles at Brie, and almost seems to intend to respond...-

-And then Ever shows up and everything is thrown off and Kai is left stumbling for words-

-And then, just as quickly as he arrived, he vanishes.-

Kai: ...Uh. Hi, Ever. Bye, Ever. Buds. Purple heart emoji.

-Beat-

Kai: anyway uh yeah it was gay it was intended in a very gay way

-Corrin stifles a yawn.-

Corrin: I would... love to, but it's getting incredibly late.

Mordred: "... That's a good point. Uh, tomorrow then!"

Artoria: "That would be nice."

All are significantly abnormal in a normal world... All are significantly normal in an abnormal world.

Brie: Oh

-...-

-as both of them have finished their food, and there is no logistical reason not to, Brie reaches across the table, placing her hands on Kai's with a smile-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

-Kai tints, but smiles, holding Brie's hands.-

-...-

-And then she leans forward and gives a kiss.-

Corrin: Yeah, let's do that.

-She smiles and gets up.-

-Beat-

-And quickly leans down and kisses Artoria before immediately removing herself from the room and hiding her face in a pillow in her own room on the airship.-

Artoria: O_O◊

Mordred leans out and looks at Artoria.

She waves her hand in front of Artoria's face.

Mordred: "Artoria? Hello? Earth to Artoria? Oh king in the mountain, grant us an audience? No?"

She pokes Artoria.

Artoria jumps slightly. "Oh. Sorry."

Mordred sighs. "You two are hopeless."

All are significantly abnormal in a normal world... All are significantly normal in an abnormal world.

-Brie kisses back-

-a couple parts of her brain speak up, pointing out that— -

-they're in public and there are a lot of people around-

-there's kind of a table in the way and it's awkward-

-they're in an Interdimensional House of Plenty-

-...-

-but like, come on. There are better things to focus on-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

-Yeah, most of those things register in Kai's mind after she's already going for the kiss, so like, too late to matter.-

-Anyway, the kiss breaks. Kai retreats, giggling awkwardly.-

Kai: So, uh. That happened.

Stormchaser

Lila had drifted off into her own thoughts.

Lila: Yes, yes! Let's rock this Starmie 720! Wahoo! Ahh... It's been ages since I've gone Mantine surfing. Sorry, I've kind of lost track of the conversation.

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

Megan: -blinks- Is that...trouble?

Ceal: <M-more trouble than we already h-have?>

-she picks some more String Shot detritus off of herself-

Kat: <Heh.>

-she grins, looking up at them-

-yelling- <Hey kids! Before you go, have a shiny!>

-and she chucks a Dark Gem, seething with...something, at the two of them-

Logan: Ahh. Well dun stress over sparce applause!

-fingerguns, grin-

Addie: <That was a stretch.>

Mane: <I'm kinda ashamed, to be frank.>

Logan: -still in the same pose and grin- Let me live

-cough, returning to base posture- Well! That could be useful.

...hm, if I weren't already assigned to this Mission (with a Shadow), I'd ask if you wouldn't be able to "recruit" someone else to the Mobius Society on your return?

-bye Jafar-

Minun: <...yay>

Plusle: <Aw, nuts, I was looking forward to stuff.>

<Eh, Imma go steal more of their stuff anyhow.>

Minun: <yesss>

-and they start wandering back-

Jafar (Jawhereveryouare)

Ceal: -shivers- <...!>

-blushing red, a Mareepish grin on her face- <O-oh! I-if you say so~>

<Thespi Tripod watch me sneak onto this ship!>

Tripod: -turning- ?

Thespi: <Ooh?>

Ceal: -excitedly- <I'm gonna do it and be really cool for Princess Jasmine so watch me be really cool!>

Thespi: <Oh my gosh!> :D

Tripod: <...>

-audial impression of a supportive thumbs-up- -–––-

Ceal: <W-well, here goes...>

-with a conspicuous flip of her water-hair, she draws an Aqua Ring from it, which thickens into a spherical veil-

-as this happens, she hums a note and the water darkens with ghostly Obscura, blending with the shadows...-

-Tripod fitting a Light Screen to her underneath it, projecting camouflage, and Thespi a Tailwind, muffling sound-

-and veiled so, no thoughts of waiting for anyone else or checking for safety anywhere in her head, Ceal attempts to flip stealthily with surprisingly deft Acrobatics through cover towards the ship-

Chrom: <Indeed. As we are, we seem to be more durable than those trees...somehow.>

Lissa: <I dunno how comfortable I am with "seem to be"...or you or someone on the other end of those.>

Maribelle: <Hm. Do we still have any healing magic we could try? I'm "tapped out", I'm afraid.>

Lissa: <Omg I could hear those airquotes, Maribelle>

No mind to think. No will to break.

Orlok: <Hm... What happened here anyway?>

Gogie: <Not trouble like that Supervillain(?) kind, just the 'he's more Lisa and Sholto's problem, but he's still a huge dick' kind of trouble.>

Amos: <I'm with ya, Blaziken. Let's do it.>

---

Meanwhile, Ceal sneaks aboard, seemingly unnoticed. They can probably hear some people muttering to each other down one end of the hallway they came in on. Deeper in the ship, they can hear some sort of mechanical whirring. Also there is someone playing a trumpet from what sounds like one of the rooms.

"Whatever kind of trouble, considering our future selves Megan. We handle it. Though I have to say future you has a bit of a mischievous streak, doing this to yourself."

Hacks sighed, ~Let's get on the fastest path for Route 4 then and handle this. How many deliveries are left anyways?~

-Brie just sort of squeaks-

Brie: Yeah. It did.

It was nice.

-...-

-PEFE!Every giggles-

Ever: Oh come on.

-snort-

Ever: This is what you find funny?

PEFE!Every: -paroxysmal-

Ever: Why are you like this?

PEFE!Every: They said "Dunsparce", but using the conceptual morphemes—

Ever: Monemes.

PEFE!Every: —No—

Ever: —Anyway—

PEFE!Every: They used the conceptual morphemes to convey a completely different sentiment!

Ever: Have you never heard a pun before

PEFE!Every: -asphyxiating-

Ever: Oh my g—

-"on a mission with a Shadow"-

-and both faemitos stop-

Ever: ...What's going on with Shadows?

PEFE!Every: -still occasionally giggling, but it's gradually fading- Are you sure? It's turned out to be fairly dangerous.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Kai: Y-yeah. It was really nice.

-...-

Kai: Probably nicer without a table in between us.

Channah: -standing under some cherry blossoms and talking to her new Shadow Venipede- What to name you before I forget...

Venipede: -hisses, drooling poison, and half-heartedly swipes multiple times at Big Savings-

Big Savings: -dodging casually- < we got a one - personal space. two - personal space. three. stay out of my personal space. four - keep out of my personal space. five. get out of that - personal space. six - stay away from my personal space. seven - >

Channah: ...Necrobutcher.

Necrobutcher the Venipede: -visibly seethes-

Channah: Perfect. -gets a text and checks it-

Channah: -sighs-

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

Lila: While we were at the Erstatz alliance, Logan accepted a deal to go help a shadow Salazzle who had attacked her friend.
