Sergey: "Thanks so much Hajime."
Mireille: ~They say that'd be great but you don't need to.~
Sergey: "Oh, don't worry, I'm happy to help. Err.... do you know anyone that could tell them a good story Hajime?"

-Diane and Alyssa are in bed snuggling. Skye, meanwhile, is slumped over the desk bundled up in several layers of coats, trying not to drift off. Sua is leaning against a wall, plugged in and illuminated by a lamp-

-Skye takes several seconds to parse Sua's text through her sleep deprivation, and sighs-
Skye: I... I just had a really bad nightmare a couple weeks ago. And I've been having flashbacks to it every time I try to sleep again.

Skye: I'd love to think that, but I'm not so sure myself. I-I mean... It's a mind thing. A psychic mind thing, and everything I've heard about those is hell and from the looks of it, people weren't lying. I... I'm afraid I won't wake up. Sarah told me she literally died temporarily in a mindscape, Psyche's totally missing, I can't even draw without imagining myself bleeding—
Diane: And now you're eating even less than before.
-Skye blinks, and glances back at her girlfriends, who are now sitting up.-
Alyssa: You are a bit of loud when you are very tired...
Skye: Oh, um... s-sorry, for, uh, waking you t—
Diane: Shoosh.
-Diane gets up out of bed and walks over to Skye, who goes quiet.-
Diane: C'mon, Skye, you're closing yourself off way too much. It's scaring me. You've wanted to be alone for days, the few times we've actually been able to reminded you to eat, you barely eat anything...
-She hugs Skye around the shoulders. After a second, she frowns. Skye looks down.-
Diane: You're shivering. A lot.
Skye: It's cold.
Diane: The heater's at max, and you've got just about as many coats as you can fit on.
Skye: I...
-Diane sighs, lets go of her, and spins her chair around so she's facing them. She looks at Alyssa, and they each take one of Skye's hands in their own.-
Diane: Listen, it's past midnight. Technically, it's Valentine's Day. Just... just for today, could we try to help you feel better so you don't have to dwell on it alone?
Alyssa: We had a great day planned for you because we want to help. At least cuddle with us?
-Skye pauses, then sighs and grips their hands tightly-
Skye: Sure... sure...
-They both hug her, and crawl into bed to cuddle-
Alyssa: Thank you.
Skye:' Mmhmm...
-She kisses Skye on the cheek, and Diane does the same on her lips before snuggling up close. It doesn't take very long for Skye to pass out from self-imposed exhaustion. Diane sighs in relief-
Diane: Finally... good night, both of you. Good night, Sua.
-She waves vaguely in Sua's direction. Sua's screen changes, but he's too far away to read. Alyssa waves as well.-
Alyssa: Goodnight!
-The rest of them drift off to sleep-

Kasia: He is most certainly not okay! Can't you see how frail he is?

Hajime: "...Huh."
Haru: <Courier, huh?>
Seedot: <Correct. I will one day join among the proud history of messengers from Legendaries.>
Haru: <Which Legendary?>
Seedot: <...Well, I'm not officially one yet, but I'm sure one day one of the Shaymin will see my potential and bring me in.>
Haru: <Wouldn't Legendaries generally prefer someone more humble?>
Seedot: <Bah! What do you know? If you won't see how great I am for the job, I'll make you see!>
Hajime: "Uh..."

Hajime: "Ah, well, he's apparently the closest this team has to a leader. Or at least the one who organized the one formal meeting we had."
"Maybe he would have more stories? Or at least someone who's been here since before last year if you know anyone like that."

Chirin: <Hey, Fishy!>
Fishy: <Uh, hey, Chirin.>

Chirin: <Oh, I was gonna ask you what you wanted to do.>

Sergey: "Okay, that sounds good, do you know where I could find him right now? Don't want to make them wait. After that we... err.. could meet up for the.... well the match."

Dune: Wow, they really like rock candy here...
Deziree: They're even cut like gemstones! See? This one looks like a citrine!
Dune: Hehehe. I didn't know you could cut rock candy.
-Deziree pops one in her mouth and starts crunching down on it.-
Dune: So, you wanna-
-Deziree starts crunching louder. Dune pauses until she stops.-
Dune: You wanna-
-Deziree puts more rock candy in her mouth and starts crunching louder than before. Dune waits again.-
Dune: ...
Deziree: ...
Dune: ... You done?
-She shakes her head and up-ends the bag into her mouth. Dune can't hold back his laughter.-
Just editing to say that as much flak I give TVT for messing with the format... I like how they put the youtube video to the side. I'm gonna need to play with that a bit.

It's my favorite day of the year! The day where we celebrate true love! Here in the ruins, a lonely girl is thinking of her boyfriend!
Mezzo: <Sunny, is that you?>
Aww, she's been changed into a hybrid of herself and her lover's Pokémon forms! That's so sweet and adorable! It means they'll be together forever.
Mezzo: <Yep, that's you. Give it a rest already.>
Snowpoint City, Pianis' house
Elsewhere, two former loves are reunited!
Jenna: I am so sick of you, you know that.
Pianis: You can always just leave.
Jenna: Ha ha ha. I'm too small to walk through the snow, you asshole! Now aren't you supposed to be fixing that?
Lily: Would you two give it a rest already? I'm trying to focus here!
Aww, well maybe they'll be able to work out their differences. Meanwhile in another room, another girl is thinking about her lost love!
Noelle: -sigh-
Fortis: What's wrong, miss Noelle?
Noelle: It's Psyche... I want to see her again so badly. But she's in trouble...
Fortis: Oh my gosh! We should go rescue her then!
Noelle: Well, it's not that simple. She's trapped in this dream place.
Fortis: Oh, like that big dream adventure we went on! That was fun!
Noelle: Um, not a nice dream though.
Awww... but don't worry! I'm sure you'll be able to get her back! Don't give up hope! The power of love will allow you to accomplish anything!
