Levi: Hey, don't sweat it b-dude.
A moment of awkward silence passes.
Levi: So hey, what do you wanna do? I'm guessing you don't wanna be hanging around the docks anymore.

Colt sat down on the center platform, looking at his phone and the messages that were sent during his battle with Molayne. As his team indulged once again, Colt typed.
From: Colton Rever
Tact and diplomacy. Let’s stick with that for now, hostage situation be damned. If that fails, we have violence.
But let’s not get violent until he throws the first punch. That sound good?
Lucius: Yeah, no, at this point I think I'd rather feed my remaining arm to a hungry Tyrantum.
-There is another awkward pause.-
Lucius: ...How about we just go get malasada? The risk of death involved seems much lower, unless Yveltal really has it in for me. Then again, I always imagined I'd meet my end choking on something.

-exposition-
...Um.
Brie: It sounds like maybe it's dormant for a while, because it got hurt and it's recharging? Or it might be some sort of transitional state, like a Kakuna.
Ever: Like a Swadloon.
Brie: Swadloon are like, barely pupae.
Ever: Regional pride, yo. Anyway, Fortis, I'm sure it's fine, whatever it is. Remember when you thought Mercury was dead, and he was just resting?
Brie: Ever, you haven't even looked.
Ever: Nor do I intend to.
Jab: <...I could—>
Ever: No.
Other!Jab: <I could try reading its mind?>
Ever: N— actually, you know what, if Fortis is okay with it.
Other!Jab: -gives Fortis a curious look-
-Jab huffs-
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.Fortis: Uh huh, you can try. I dunno what she's thinking about though...
Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.Other!Jab: <Alright!> (to Ever) <You're gonna wanna let me go for this bit.>
Ever: Just know I can end you.
-he lets go of Other!Jab, who points his claws at Astral dramatically-
Other!Jab: <Alright, weird egg, r—> ~eveal to me your secrets!~
Ever: Keep it down.
Other!Jab: ~I wasn't projecting to you.~
Ever: And yet here we both are.
Brie: -holding Halcyon's ball nervously- Ever, I feel like this is a bad idea...
Ever: Big same.
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.Julius: -to Finn- I don't like the sound of that, no.
-Julius looks at the credit card up, down, and sideways and... waves it at the cash register-
-Bathory is about to address Tamamo when she notices Julius and giggles-
-Robin and Sam tremble from their hiding spot-

Contact Me!-at first, there appears to be no response-
-but if Jab probes further, he may find Astral dreaming-

Darkness.
A dying world.
Shadows consume all.
Mother.
Stars all around.
My place.
The world.
Light...
Star child. My destiny.
Mother.
Mother is safe.

My purpose.
Memories.
The key.
Star child.
Sun.
Moon.
Astral.

Oh, heya Junior. Time for the regularly scheduled special enemy fight?
It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.Other!Jab: ~@_@
-he totters back briefly, and then sits down, looking stunned-
Brie: Uh, are you okay, pink Weavile?
Other!Jab: <My name's Jab.>
Jab: <Other!Jab.>
Brie: Okay, that's fine, but are you alright?
Other!Jab: <There's a lot going on in there. Something about dying worlds and mothers and light and purpose and crap. I think she's like...waiting for something? Some sort of key?>
-he starts to stand up, and then sits down again-
<My head hurts now...>
Jab: <Dumbass.>
Other!Jab: <Like you had a better plan.>
Ever: Enough, both of you.
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.Fortis: I guess she's just asleep and dreaming about the future. Maybe.
-she holds Astral close-
Fortis: ...I wonder if she thinks I'm her mom? I did find her when she was just a baby...

"life is just a series of increasingly canon-eluding ao3 tags" ~ everydunsparce "Keep your hellfruit away from me, tempter" ~ also EveryEver: That seems reasonable. A lot of mons do imprint like that. ...It's very awkward sometimes.
...Someday I should find out where Solana found that egg.
Brie: Well, whatever it is, it sounds like she's fine, right? So don't worry.
-she smiles at Fortis-

Levi swallows the temptation to intentionally respond back with something equally as filthy and smiles at Lucius.
Levi: Masalada sounds awesome! So, where do we go?

Ever: Fine.

Lucius: I dunno. I think there's a shop somewhere in town? Let's go exploring. Make an adventure out of it.
-Thirty-three minutes later, Lucius and Levi are now here, a plate of Big Malasadas sat in front of them.-
Lucius: Well, that was anticlimactic. I still don't know what that Tsareena's deal was, though.
