"Oh, thinks always happen. Bad things, terrible things. It's called life. But I don't mind too much. I can handle most things."
Lumiose
Even more now, I think.
-head tilts-
What exactly happened, though?
Another green world.Lumiose City
"Ugh, wish I could tell you, really do. But it's classified stuff. All hush hush, bossman wouldn't look to kindly on me sharing."
Lumiose
Right...can you say why you need the AOS, though?

-Morgan sighs and gets up, going to look for some ice cream.-
Lumiose City
"..."
He sighs.
"Joe, I don't have arms or legs anymore. They were amputated. These metal things, these limbs salvaged from the AOS. They're my limbs now. Habitatus is literally permanently in residence inside my head, moving my limbs for me."
Lumiose
...
-Joseph sighs, then hugs-
Sorry...

"Aww, it's not too bad. I've now got basically a living computer in my head, among other things. Plus, right, I can install all kinds of goodies in these! Of course, Habi won't let me use most of them unless it's an emergency, but still!"

Doradanne: Well, this requires (sorry) a bit of a history lesson. The two Morton families were once part of a single Morton family, until the eldest daughter married a traveler. The traveler's name was Sabaku, the Wandering King. The two of them left, leaving the Morton family broken into three portions - the Morton-Drakes, the Donnell-Mortons, and the regular Mortons. The inheritance was split between the three, and the daughter that left wasn't heard from again.
-She sighs.-
Doradanne: Then a man named Derek Morton walks into the Battle Chateau. I checked the genealogy that was recently revealed after the tomb of Sabaku was found in Orre, and he is the heir. There's not much left for a Morton in Kalos now, but... There's still something here. Mostly land.

Lumiose
Well...it raises the question. If you have to have the AOS on, then how did we...?
Another green world.Lumiose City
"Very carefully."
He laughs.
"Joe, I've learned not to question some things."
Lumiose
Oh...well, OK!
So...when should people be here?
Another green world.Route 14
Huh. Looks like you got a new team member.
Aigla: <When I evolve, I think I'll...> (pauses, glances around, then starts floating away)
... Aigla, where are you going?
- Recalls her -
That Inkay is even stranger than Goggles...
Somewhere in the Dream World
Goggles: (looks around) <... Did someone say my name?> (shrugs) <Must've just been the wind... Can the wind talk? Since this is the Dream World...> (thinks for a moment) <... I wonder what it'd be like to own a flying sofa.>

"Looks like we'll be going it alone, this time. Ah, well. I mainly wanted you for this, anyways. Now, if I recall correctly, you're a Heart of Gold, yes?"
-Pent waves back-
Hey ^_^
It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.Lumiose
-Joseph nods-
I am-oh? Someone's coming.
Another green world.Lumiose City
"Ah? Oh, so they are! Don't quite recognize them, though... no matter!"
Lumiose
I think I know them...:3

Cleo: Ah, I see... Issues of land and all...
What do you think about it? The internal politics and all?

Dune: So, what's next?
Deziree: We've got all three stones, so I'm guessing we get them read now?

-Doradanne groans as she rests her head on the railing.-
Doradanne: It's all so... petty. I don't think Derek knows what he's getting into. The Donnells and Drakes are bad enough as it is... Poor guy's gonna get eaten alive.
Route 14
-Who snatches Murcrow from the oven dark and drear?-
-A Small Pumpkaboo with a mild look of fear-
-He holdeth the Krow poorly poorly placed on his back-
-Not really that safe, open to attack-
Trevenant: <Ugh, we're too slow...>
Trevenant: <Let's see what I can do...>
-He generates a strange light to try and confuse Murcrow in the distance-
-Murcrow is struck by the Confuse Ray, causing him to see strange things-
Pumpkaboo: <Dear 'Krow, wherefore seek'st thou thy face thus to hide?>
Murcrow: <Look, that way, the Erlkönig is close by our side!>
-He indicates thin air in the direction of the Trevenant designated with gold text, which looks somewhat different to him due to confusion-
<Don't you see the Erlkönig, with crown right behind?>
Pumpkaboo: <A trick of Confuse Ray, just pay it no mind.>
Trevenant: I hope this works...
-He starts speaking, which Murcrow sees as the Erlenkönig-
Erlkönig???: <Oh, come, thou dear Murkrow! Oh come thou with me!>
<For many a pizza thou will bake there for me.>
<At the stove, lovely topping packages unfold,>
<And treats shall be cooked to a delicious gold.>
Murcrow: <Pumpkaboo, Pumpkaboo, and do you not hear?>
<The words that the Erlkönig breathes in my ear?>
Pumpkaboo: <Be calm, pink Murkrow, thy fancy deceives.>
<That Trev'nant is playing some trick with leaves.>
-The gold Trevenant continues-
Erlkönig???: <Wilt go, then, dear Murkrow, wilt go with me there?>
<My children are hungry: Their stomaches are bare.>
Trevenant: <Why do you get to be the father?>
Trevenant: <It was the best thing I could come up with...>
Erlkönig???: <My children at night will you with pizza feed.>
<With oodles of toppings, until they go sleep.>
Murcrow: <My father, my father, and dost thou not see?>
<How the Erlkönig is showing his children to me?>
Pumpkaboo: <Pink Murkrow, pink Murkrow, I see it alright...>
<But saying that they're children's deceiving thy sight.>
Erlkönig???: <I love thee, I'm charm'd by thy beauty, dear boy!>
<And if thou aren't willing, then force I'll employ.>
-The Gold Trvenant uses Shadow Ball, Knocking Murcrow off of the Pumpkaboo-
-Murcrow flails around-
Murcrow: <Pumpkaboo, Pumpkaboo, he seizes me fast!>
<For sorely, the Erlkönig has hurt me at last!>
-The Pumpkaboo hurries and picks up the Krow-
-He then turns and runs as fast as he'll go-
-Soon after the Trev'nant admit that he's gone–
-Then head back and hope more pizza's not long-
