-To Odin-
I know he's got Shaka and Kahina as fighters Though I have no idea how evil she is, and I have no plans on telling Salvador, Shaka already his proverbial blade to my neck.
-Turning around-
The problem is, who. Only people who know the whole tale besides us and my mons are Sol and Channah, and Sol's got enough on her plate as it is.

Nino: -looks dismayed- Does he do that because he can't help it? Because if he can, that's... It's not right. Just hitting your - your trainer like that, to put him down -
Legault: -places a firm hand on Nino's shoulder- Hoo, we're not finishing that sentence. We don't know the full story, Nino. And like he said, he's fine.
Nino: -fidgets- ...Sorry.

“I just mostly put up with it because a part of me knows I deserve it.”
“Wow, Colt, that’s... a little dark,” Roy observed.
“I’m FINE,” he responded bluntly. “And I’m not gonna suppress who someone is,” he added. “But no, it’s just because I’ve shown a history of being more durable than the average chump, from being robbed of my jacket in the cold caverns of Mount Lanakila to being Vacuum Waved, Played Rough, Foul Played-“
A hand found itself over Colt’s mouth. “We don’t want to hear your exploits!” Roy said in as polite a tone he could.

Odin: <Who'd be most useful against cuz? Or alternatively who can best keep the secret?>

Legault: Hm, do I want to know what "Played Rough" is a euphemism for? -smirks-
Nino: -quietly- I can... understand that. I'm pretty tough too, and I've put up with a lot. Still, it's not really... ideal. -to Colt- I'm sorry for both of you.
Legault: It seems like being a training dummy for your team is a thing with some trainers. That girl and her gray rat, and now this.
Nino: I hope that's not common...

“Play Rough is an actual move used by ‘mons. And are others really subject to being roughed up by their teams?”
“Yes,” Roy stated bluntly, even though he didn’t have a team of his own anymore.
Colt paused. “Should... should we just get going?” He asked more to himself than anyone else.

-Knock, knock.-
-Scarlette lets out a sigh. She's been staring at the ceiling in bed for hours now. She really wanted a nap right now, but with everything running through her head, particularly the memories she's now struggling to maintain her grip on, rest certainly wasn't coming easy.-
???: Um... hello? Are you in there? Should I come back later? Or just... not show my face to you again...?
Scarlette: ...Come in.
-The door cracks open. Rose pokes her head through.-
Rose: ...Hey...
Scarlette: ...
-Scarlette pulls herself upright.-
Scarlette: ...Hey.
-Rose comes in the rest of the way, holding two cups of hot chocolate.-
Rose: I, uh... thought you might like this.
-She offers one to Scarlette.-
Scarlette: ...
Don't take it, it's a trIt's not fucking poisoned shut up you hypocrite
-She takes the hot chocolate.-
Scarlette: ...Thanks.
-She takes a sip. Rose smiles weakly.-
Rose: I'm glad to see you're recovering okay.
Scarlette: Debatable.
Rose: ...Right. Sorry.
-They're quiet for a moment.-
Scarlette: ...
Rose: ...
Scarlette: ...Paula's still out there. She... was there at the end, right? I-I wasn't hallucinating that?
Rose: No, that was real. I don't... I don't know what she's up to, but she was there.
Scarlette: Right.
-Another brief silence.-
Scarlette: ...
Rose: ...
Scarlette: ...I'm sorry. A-about everything.
Rose: Don't be. I... should have told you about her from the get-go.
Scarlette: ...Maybe. But... ugh, I can't believe I fucking... acted like you two were the same. All while she was... fucking pulling the strings behind it all. Ugh.
Rose: It's not your fault. You've... still got that neurotoxin running through your head.
Scarlette: Yeah.
-She tears up, setting her cup down and pulling her knees to her chest.-
Scarlette: I want it to be gone. I want to stop having these thoughts. I-I want it to be quiet.
Rose: I know. I want to see you recover, too.
Scarlette: I-I thought I could fight it, that I was winning, that I was beating it because I did the research, because I knew what it could do, but I can't, and now I've gone too far, and, and...
-She stammers in an attempt to keep finding words to vent through, but can't. She falls silent, aside from sniffling from her crying.-
Rose: ...We'll find a way to get it out of your system. Just... hang in there, okay?
-Scarlette nods.-
Scarlette: I-I'm not... going anywhere. I have nowhere else to go.
Rose: Yeah. Me neither.
-After a moment, she sits up on the bed next to Scarlette, who just sorta leans into her.-
Scarlette: I-I'm sorry... I'm so sorry...
-Rose just gently pats her.-

Legault: Probably. I was about to say we shouldn't keep holding you up. Pleasure to meet you, though.
Nino: Oh, yes. It is nice to see another Elibean here. See you guys around! -follows Legault away-

Shiki: ~... Hm.~
She puts the scarf on and pulls a tanto knife out from her belt, looks it over, and sheathes it again.
Mordred: "Wait why do you have a knife."
Shiki: "I carry a knife?"
Mordred: "... As a Gallade."
Shiki: "Yeah."
Mordred: "Okay that seems superfluous but also howmst the fuck does one use a knife as a Gallade?"
Shiki: "... Telekinesis?"
Mordred: "... Right."

“I guess that’s that, then,” Colt observed as he drew Roy’s Luxury Ball. He rolled his eyes and threw the scarf behind himself and returned. Colt caught the scarf and paused.
“As long as I’m here,” he considered before his Xatu took the reins.
Poni Island - Seafolk Village
“Yep,” he agreed to Xatu, who then returned himself.

Odin: <...If I'm completely honest, I'd rather cuz be locked up behind bars rather than killed for... obvious sentimental reasons. But I understand if it isn't an option. Do what you must.>

-Yvan pokes Salvador-
-Owen is watching Alonya pack her bags-
Owen: You're really leaving.
Alonya: Yes. Yes I am.
Owen: ...Are you sure about this?
Alonya: I've concluded Iron isn't pursuing the vision we need. Mobius isn't either. I haven't been pursuing the vision we need. I want out.
-She finishes her packing and pauses-
...That said, it's probably too much for you to ask to come with me.
-Owen sighs-
Owen: Yeah it is... I can't betray Best Berry, and they intend to stick to their alliance with Iron as far as I know.
-he rubs his palms together-
That said... I can afford a bit of sleight of hand with Iron itself. I can cover your escape, make it seem like you dissapeared with no explanation. I alas cannot contact you through mobile device if you're off the Iron-Best-Berry-Mobius grid.
Alonya: Thank you.
-she pauses again-
...Goodbye, Owen.
Owen: ...Goodbye, Alonya.
-Alonya nods and leaves-
-Owen is silent for a while before tears start rolling down his face-
-Multiman taps his fingers on his desk, annoyed.-
-They had been sitting in hiding far too long. The J-Team was chewing up their allies and spitting them out-
-He needed a plan-
-And fortunately one was stirring in his brain-
-Meanwhile a familiar Alolan Sandslash looks worriedly between his Trainer and a certain old family photo-

-Stivanna is taking a nice, relaxing nap-
PEFE!Every: You're in my bed.
Stivanna: ...Didn't you get captured by the J-team? They said you did, please say it was true and this is a nightmare I'm having
PEFE!Every: I got rescued. ^_^
Stivanna: (light leaving their eyes) Yay...
PEFE!Every: Thank Sam and Sam from Iron.
Stivanna: (deadpan) I'll be sure to...
PEFE!Every: Did you miss me?
Stivanna: No.
PEFE!Every: That's awfully impolite.
Stivanna: We're not friends. I don't like you.
PEFE!Every: All the same~
-she begins rooting through the cupboards-
Stivanna: H-hey!
PEFE!Every: You've thrown out all my samples.
Stivanna: 1) They were gross, and 2) They were pretty obviously past their sell-by date!
PEFE!Every: Hmph. I suppose you're right. I'll just have to make new ones.
Stivanna: ...Th-that doesn't involve me, does it?
PEFE!Every: -science stare-
Stivanna: ...
-they bolt-
-PEFE!Every stares after them...before letting out a sigh of relief-

Glimmer: <...Weren't you?>
Ever: ...Anyway. Do you think we should check in on some of the newer members? This can't be the most fun way to get introduced to the J-team.
Glimmer: <...We should.>
Ever: On second thought, maybe just I should.
Glimmer: -little frown-

From: Rose
Hey, guys.
Scarlette seems to have come to her senses by now, mostly. She's in a kind of fragile state right now. That's expected. She has a lot of regrets, and blames herself for a lot of stuff that can be attributed to a lot of other factors. First off, she's still got Nihilego venom running through her. Second, a lot of this was orchestrated by my Paula — for the uneducated, she's more or less my evil lookalike for complicated reasons. We found out she's involved with Team Iron right before we escaped. I don't know what she's trying to do. She claimed that she was going to report that Scarlette died in the collapse. I don't know whether to believe her, but for now, I think Scarlette would appreciate laying low for a while.
On the other hand, she is starting to regain her memories. Apparently meeting her world's Lily again started to trigger them again, but they're coming back slow. She remembers the Crescendos, and a fight against Necrozma, which resulted in her getting tossed across Ultra Space and thought dead. Lily told her that they lost the fight and Necrozma took away their world's light. Scarlette's fighting another vengeful streak knowing about this now. Just another reason to get that neurotoxin out of her system.
We could all really use some rest.

Salvador makes a small chirrup (not unlike a Skitty or Purrloin when it's woken up) before fluttering his eyes open and yawning.

“That was just his Lucario, under the influence of one of his split personalities,” Roy explained.
“And yeah, I’m genuinely fine,” Colt said as he stood back up. “I’m subject to all sorts of crap from my team, but it’s been seven years, so I’m pretty thick-skinned, I like to believe.”
