AU!Spirit World

-Sticks tongue out at the Swampert-

<Gengar: "Make me.">

<Mismagius: "... I don't know if this is right, but it sounds like you've managed to stumble in from some sort of alternate universe... And we don't have jurisdiction over the dead from other 'verses...">

-Notices Dintel's berry-

<Gengar: "!!! And that's exactly what happened! That berry's from a game that I oversaw months ago! I hid it in a friggin' alternate universe! It's even got the little asterisk marking that I put on it!">

Kim: Awww. *pets the Golbat, letting him go when Every moves him away* I suppose so. I was stuck in my mindscape until one of Rex's aspects showed me the way out. It's nice to see you again, in any case. *looks around* By the way, where is your girlfriend? Isn't she usually with you?

-Separates the gift boxes into two piles, one for crap and one for vaguely interesting looking stuff that might make good presents-

-The PPP

currently includes a stuffed Nidoran♂, a cool hat, a comfy scarf and a copy of Mario Kart 7-

-The CCC

^{Crappy Christmas Collection}

currently includes an old, half eaten piece of cake, a broken magnifying glass, an inflatable toy brain and a crusty old sock with a hole in it-

...Nick, where do you even find this stuff?

Nick: <THAT'S FOR ME TO KNOW AND YOU TO FIND OUT.>

Inn, Hallway

She's still eating her cake, I guess? I dunno, I just went for a walk around the hotel. Plus I wanted to talk with Cirrus here; I only just met him.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Crewe's Room

Ad Min: ♩Oh Christmas Tree, oh Christmas tree...♩

Chord: *Plugging his ears.* <WE DON'T HAVE A TREE, YOU STUPID ROBOT...THING!>

Ad Min: Oh! What a grave error. Nevermind, I shall sing a different song instead. ♩Deck the halls with bells of holly...♩

Chord: <AAAAARRGGGHHHHHH!!!>

-While Chord is freaking out, Lake comes across Copahue.-

Lake: <Hey, Copahue.> *Notices the Ash cloud.* <...What is that?>

Hallway

Kim: Oh, I see. Cirrus is a nice name, by the way. Very Gol- err, Dratini-esque...or would Dragonair be more accurate?

Rex: Now you're learning. :3

Youko: *returns from being offscreen, wandering in Every's direction*

Fang: *likewise, though from another hallway*

With Ichtacya

Pierce: <You're so silly, Auntie. :3>

Rascal: *chatting with Maekrite*

Blossom: *watching Ichtacya and Pierce, feeling a bit tired at the moment*

With Mezzo

Aqua: *glomps Forte rather randomly*

AU!Spirit World

Dintel: <...Oh! Then this is your berry? That means we can be friends and play a lot of games [together]?> — tilts head.

Swampert♀: <Alternate universe? But... oh...> — remembers, swings tail — <accursed fork...> — to Rotom — <So, what happens if I return to the other verse's Spirit World? Do they have nasty, horrible games?>

Fanfic Recs orwellianretcon'd: cutlocked for committee or for Google?

Inn, Hallway

Cirrus: <Yep!>

-notices Youko and Fang- Hello!

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Thanks, Steven. What just happened? I briefly remember darkness, fighting, and S.T.A.R.S....

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!

Steven: -shrugs- No idea. There was a scuffle in the mindscapes, and then we were back here. It's Christmas, by the way.

Hallway

Fang: *climbs on Rex, waving a paw to Every* <Hi! I'm Fang, the best Raticate ever~>

Youko: *nods to Every* < Youko.>

Rex: Fang was my first catch...but I think I may have told you that before.

Kim: Youko was my third Partner Pokemon in Almia.

Fang: *looks at Cirrus curiously, wiggling her nose adorably*

Youko: *watches Every with a poker face*

Inn Hallway

Hi Fang. Hi Youko.

Cirrus: -flaps down to land on Fang-

-Every meets Youko's gaze-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Inn

Copahue: <This? Ugh... this thing has been following me ever since... since... since Shahinne yelled at me that I'm not her father...>

   Ashcloud    -changes shape into a trollface, then reforms-

Copahue: <I'm supposedly not sad anymore, but it still won't leave me...> — sighs. — <Have you seen Shahinne, by any chance?>

Maekrite: <hey! why that color!> — to Rascal — <...and guess what? The building started sinking when they did. Who would have thought?> — scratches ears while keeping tabs on Silent.

Meanwhile Silent is still busy checking his backpack.

Cafe

Read: <Hmm... forgive the imposition, but, ...>

-hops onto the Houndoom's back-

<MUSH!>

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?

Oh, yes, the mindscape. Now it's all coming back. Thanks, I-

CHRISTMAS?!?!?!

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!

-after giving DS her present (which will be shenaniganed later), starts looking around for other people, hoping to give them their gifts-

Steven: -barely flinches- Yes. Happy Christmas.

Mauville Cafe

Vilkas: HEY!

-Klavazazel runs with the idea, quite literally in fact. He rears up on his hind legs for a moment before running straight at Ryklys- <WOOF!>

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Lake: <Oh, no. I haven't seen Shahinne anywhere. Sorry.> *Frowns at the ash-cloud.* <What an awful thing. Go on, get out of here!> *Tries to clear it away with his hand. but to no effect.*

<Sure is stubborn. If only there was a way I could cover you from the...> <Oh! I know!>

-Lake spits some water into his mouth, swirls it around to lather it up, then blows Copahue a Bubble Shield.-

Lake: *Grins.* <There you go.>

Hallway

Fang: <Oh, hello!> *her whiskers twitch as she stares up at Cirrus* <Are you from Johto?>

Youko: <Hmmm...> *goes over to Every, sitting down next to him* <You seem like a well-intentioned person...if a bit ill-fortuned.>

With Ichtacya

Rascal: <Wow...you guys sure have it rough.> *nods sympathetically at Maekrite*

Inn Hallway

Cirrus: <Nope, Hoenn!>

...Yeah, that about sums things up...

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Hallway

Fang: <Oh, that's that place that Mantisk is from! Do you know him? He's a big, angry lizard.>

Youko: *gives Every a sympathetic smile*

Kim: Poor Every.

Rex: Tomorrow we'll probably find him buried under a pile of Zigzagoon.

-stumbles across Every- Hey! How are you?

Mindscape

Golbat: <Never heard of him—> -tries to do the ~ but can't really-

(to Rex and Kim) Oh, come on. My luck isn't that bad.

-notices Wolf-

Hi! I'm fine. You?
