Goldenrod
-rather sharply-
Joseph: You're mumbling.
-Munn elbows Joseph, gently-
Munn: Be nice.
Joseph: Sorry. I could hear you...
...anyway, it'd be rather selfish to attach a ticking time bomb to the earth to cover ourselves.

Snowy: <Uh, wow, fank you. I wasn't really goin' for beauty.>
Tastes better on the way back down.Yeah, I know. And besides it would be dooming any number of theoretical advanced species.
-Pent sighs and crumples up a sheet-
Gotta be careful who I involve. Getting Dune in on it might end up making him the new broker...

-Joseph blinks-
What do you mean by that?
Another green world.Goldenrod
Sarah: Er... okay...? You should probably be careful talking about that sort of thing around strangers, you know...
Goldenrod
Deziree: Don't worry about it. I tend to find that inventors with our kind of "spark" develop an aesthetic as they invent their devices. Like, my stuff generally uses a lot of bronze and brass, with a few exceptions.
Selene: Oh, I know! But you're not a stranger.
-Selene bops the side of her head.-
Selene: Oh, right! You've been gone since this happened!
-She puts her finger to the corner of her lip in a very Pokepan Idol manner.-
Selene: I'll give you a hint: I like hanging around in the moonlight and singing~

Sarah: ...Selene? I mean, it could be either Selene based on the moonlight thing alone, but I'm guessing you're Dune's Selene?
Goldenrod
Snowy: <Huh... so, steampunk, kinda?>
(She pauses.)
Snowy: <So, uh, should I leave you to it now?>

-Selene's pink hair curls bounce.-
Selene: Eeyep! I got cursed... somehow... to become human at night. Like a... werewolf. Wolfwere. Whatever. And, though I know you might feel mixed about this, but I'm psychic as human kinda like how I'm psychic as a Clefable. Only I'm not that good yet, and I can't hurt anybody with it. It's like my mind's got a limiter on it, though I don't mind.
Deziree: Yep! I'll go ahead and let you know - somehow - when I've made any progress using the SCIENTIFIC METHOD!
Dune: Which should take a day or two, if what I know of her method stays true.

Because he's an archeologist.
-Pent totally doesn't figure that more explanation might be needed-

Joseph: ...do you get it, Munn?
Munn: Yep!
Joseph: OK...?
Another green world.Goldenrod
Sarah: Don't worry, any mixed feelings I might have had about the whole psychic thing have passed. I've made up with Psyche already, and I don't like to talk about what triggered that. If you accidentally find yourself poking into my mind, I already have a defense set up against it anyway. Anyway, uh... right. Curse. I forgot how weird the J-Team is. Like the time Piano and I got bodyswapped.
Goldenrod
Snowy: <So, uh... see you round, I s'pose?>
(She scampers off, leaving the camera in Deziree's hands.)

-Selene snaps her fingers.-
Selene: That's exactly what Pent said earlier! But... Huh. I guess we'll never know.
-She goes up and hugs Sarah - it feels warm and fuzzy, partially because of the moon-emblazoned sweater Selene is wearing.-
Selene: Don't worry - I don't think I could poke into your mind even if I wanted to. That's one of the things I have the biggest problem with as a human.
Yeah, so finding the actors for the event when I manage to work out how to trigger it safely will be interesting...

Joseph: ...um...question: do you think Arceus would like this?
Another green world.Well, uh... That's really a highly philosphical question there...
-Pent gulps and smiles-
Really haven't actually, youknow, gotten told anything about approval or disapproval for any of my previous attempts...
It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.Goldenrod
Joseph: ...well, you're bringing in alien species. And not like Deoxys or Jirachi who came here by themselves, you're inviting them! Even if they don't do anything wrong, I can't imagine that Arceus would approve. And I'm not even religious or anything.
Another green world.Goldenrod
-Sarah finds herself snuggling into Selene's sweater.-
Sarah: That's good. Er... well, no, it's not, but, um... uh, let's pretend I didn't just say that, okay?
Goldenrod
Selene: Aw, it's alright! I don't mind not being able to get into people's minds. I'm more interested in affecting the physical! Like this!
-She takes a step back, takes a deep breath, and slowly lays her palms flat, then down, then "presses" down. The air around her begins to sparks.-
Selene: Cosmic Power. I've been using it as a meditation tool lately.
En Route to Mahogony Town
-An Infernape swings his way through the trees!-
Jason:<Hah! Why didn't I think of this before?>
-...until he slams headlong into a tree...-
<...ow~ch!>
Grim:<...How did I know...I suppose we're camping here tonight?>
-The Infernape gives a woozy thumbs-up.-
Jason:<Yah, sure. I can do dat...@_@>
-Grim facewings.-
Goldenrod
-Lane is around with Ignia clutched to his leg.-
-As is Maria, with Marvel on her hooded head.-
Well, I'm not trying to bring aliens in. If all goes well the story can take place using purely native species of this planet.

Joseph: Ah. See, I didn't know that. But still, it strikes a bit of god-playing. I mean, I doubt there's any other alternatives, but...
Another green world.Goldenrod City
-Savannah and her mons exist somewhere.-
I'm done here.
I dunno, they're a major driving force for the trilogy and are the creators of a lot of the tech of the setting...
-Pent sighs and shuffles some papers about-
However, they only go after planets with advanced enough space travel so... So basically even if I did bring them in the human race would have another few hundred years at least...
