Embedded Tower

“Oh, we’d get along perfectly in that we’d never interact at all,” he quipped. “Perfectly honest, he kinda sounds like me. The only difference being that one of us knuckled down and went out into the world to meet people.

“I mean, I imagine Vyvyan has reason not to but,” he shrugged. “I’m gonna go see if he wants to play.”

With that said, he began to ascend the staircase, the box in hand.

-Kai pokes their head in through the door, giving a weak, sheepish smile-

Kai: Hey, sorry, I needed some air. Woke up kinda early, couldn't fall back asleep, didnt want to wake you two up, y'know?

Kai's Room

-Brie is a little too sleepy to realize that this isn't actually an answer to her and Alice's question-

Brie: Oh, alright. Don't worry, we only just woke up. At least I only just did.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Some Pokemon Center

-there is currently a lump of blankets and pillows in the bed, along with a person. It's difficult to tell where one ends and the other begins-

-Munn opens the door, knocking on the door as he does it-

Munn: Hey, knock knock?

-the lump twists and turns, and reveals itself to be Joe. Those who know him (and likely haven't seen him in a while) would be surprised to see his current state-his white hair has grown slightly longer and magnitudes more wild, and his blue eyes are bleary and sleepy. He looks like he woke up from a depression nap that lasted for eight months-

Joe: Mmmmm?

Munn: It's almost one o'clock.

Joe: That early?

Munn: ...in the afternoon.

Joe: Like I said, that early?

Munn: You're getting fitted for Ren's wedding today, hon.

Joe: Today...?

Munn: Today.

Joe: Oh, fuck.

Munn: What's the matter? You like Ren, don't you?

Joe: Yeah.

Munn: So what's the problem?

Joe: Being outside. Talking to people. Moving. Not a fan.

Munn: You were a fan.

-Joe blinks, and sighs-

Joe: If I could be like that right now, I would.

-he curls up in his blankets again. Munn closes his eyes and takes a deep breath-

Munn: It's not for another few hours. You can rest until you're ready.

Joe: Mmmmm.

Another green world.

Stormchaser - Kai's Room

-Alice, meanwhile, is awake enough to realise that she didn't get an answer - though for whatever reason, she doesn't mention it.-

Alice: Understandable. I hope the walk helped ease your mind somewhat. Thank you for your note, and the consideration.

-She gestures towards the laptop.-

Alice: We nodded off towards the end of the film last night. Would you be up for finishing it off now?

-Eva has attatched a controller for her drone to said drone, which Merah is now sitting on-

Eva: So, do you understand what does what?

Merah: <I think so. Not like you told me a million times...>

Eva: Let's test it out then!

-Lila enters-

Lila: Hi, how's it going?

Eva: Come watch this! Merah, hit it!

-The drone flies into the air-

Lila: Woah, it's like a flying mecha!

Eva: I know right! It's so awesome!

-Danny walks in, looking a bit down and Lila stops cheering at the drone.-

Lila: Oh, hi.

Danny: Hi.

Eva: You alright?

Danny: Yeah, whatever.

Lila: It's Gwen, right?

Danny: Yeah. Still missing.

Lila: Oof.

Eva: So, how come you were, like, super excited about the drone a couple seconds ago and now you look almost as down in the dumps as Danny?

Lila: Mood swings? I dunno. I just get a lot of mood swings.

-someone might notice them talking-

I used to plug my deviantart here but turns out the link was too long.

Kai: Yeah. Yeah, that sounds good.

-They curl back up on the couch-

Vivian Eastwood, Alto Mare

-Cambria stands on a raised stool and several woman and Leavanny bustle around fitting Cambria and her bridesmaids.-

-Cambria's dress was an exquisitely embroidered dress of of white and dull gold◊.-

-Each of the three bridesmaids was being fitted with an identical dull gold dress◊, echoing the embroidery of Cambria's dress.-

[Armani], Alto Mare

-Ren and his groomsmen are here each being fitting with a custom tailored suit.-

-While the suits all shared the same color scheme - black with white trim and red with gold pinstripe checks for the lining; red neckties with gold tie pins; gold buttons; and faded, dark red striped dress shirts - Ren's jacket was a frock cut◊ while the grooms had a more traditional tux jacket cut.-

Stormchaser, earlier

Julius: -eyebrow raise- Sure?

Medea: <You have no idea, do you, child?>

Alto Mare, now

-Pretty much eveyone of mine who debuted before the May 20 cutoff date is here-

-The men are wearing color-coded suits, the women color-coded poofy dresses, the enbies... Either or-

-Merlin is wearing a white suit with a codpeice-

-He in particular may be approached but so can anyone else-

R S M Elevator

-Shinobi blinks at the sight of the magnemite pulled free of it's stubby robot body and then punted-

Shinobi: <welp> -Headshake- <Sounds like a plan>

-He waits for the elevator to finish it's ascent-

-After Kai finally got decent rest, they are now here, clearly in thought about something.-

-Everyone else is, too, but Kai's the one who's got things on their mind.-

-"The bolder collides with the giant Chandelure, who fumbles back, showing signs of annoyance. Racing it's "arms" up, fire envelops the surrounding area turning from red to blue and a million litwik appear out of the flames."-

Ramona, gasp: It's a summoner... also SQUEE Ohmagosh litewicks are sooooooooooooooo cute <3 <3 <3

Victor: <...seriously, what's wrong with you?>

-"The horde of ghost types shoot at the party."-

Hyde: <Wow, ghost.>

Other Hyde: <Didn't think they were real.>

New Hyde: <Hey, I just thought of something.>

-"Hyde opens one of his mouths and chomps down on a litwick with a crunch attack. He begins chewing."-

Hyde, the head that's not eating the other Pokémon: <Was that it?>

New Hyde: <New, I was thinking about how weird birds are.>

-"The head that was chewing spits the litwick out."-

Other Hyde: <Aw, I burnt my tongue!>

Piplup: <Well dang dude, that sucks.>

-"Suddenly, torchic walks in carrying a duffle bag full of money and a case of medicin."-

Torchic, throwing the medicine down: <There you go, bandages and healing potions... but no drugs, the drugs were already gone.> 0.0

Let's all have fun

Lumiose Market

<That’s fine,> First waved off. <Human aspirin would likely kill me anyway.>

<First!> Second cried, idignant, rushing over afterwards to readjust and replace the frozen berries on his head.

<What? It’s true.>

Torchic: <hahaha, you think I'd just take aspirin... would somebody tELL THAT FUCKING PINK GARYADOSE TO SHUT THE FUCK UP 111111>

-"Rowlet and Piplup look at their comrade for a bit, then go back to work, ignoring him."-

Rowlet, handing First some herbs: <Thee needeth divine plants, for wich to slow thine bleeding.>

Piplup, translating: <She says the herbs will act as bandages incase there aren't any in the med box.>

-"They toss more pastries into their bags."-

Torchic: <Oh my god EVERYTHING'S CHOCOLATE AND IT'S FREAKING ME OUT!!!!!!1111111111>

Let's all have fun

Lumiose Store

<I think we know where the drugs went,> First chuckled bitterly as Second did what he could to disinfect and numben the wound with the herbs provided after removing the bandages. He then put on some fresh bandages.

<Take it easy for a little bit. I gotta watch Torchic keep on trippin’,> Second advised, grabbing a snack from the bag and looking at Torchic.

-A Pent exists. He's in a tree. He's also trying to come up with a song-

-One might consider attempts to rework songs from direct to video Disney threequels to be a low priority in the lead up to a wedding but hey here he is enjoying the canal-ish air and humming and occasionally losing the rhythm and getting mildly frustrated at his inability to work out the meter of certain words-

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

-"Piplup fills his bag with the last of the bread, while Torchic screams into an active oven."-

Piplup: <Alright, that's about it. You guys finished?>

Rowlett: <The heavens weren't not constructed within thine life time. The wheels of fate shall decide for when our quest is completed.>

Piplup: <...yeah okay, whatever. Torchic, how's->

Torchic, currently riding a cake to space: <I am everything, the world is mine and you shall all bow to my will!!!!!!!!!>

-"Piplup stares as Torchic slams his own face into cakes and pies."-

Piplup, turning to First: <So, see anything you want us to grab real quick, cake? Pie? Fried chicken?>

Let's all have fun

Lumiose Store

<Nothing that we probably can’t find ourselves,> First said. <I’ll keep lookout,> he said as he staggered to his feet. <Second, see if you can’t find a bag small enough for us to carry.>

Second nodded and walked between the shelves to get to the aisles.

<We’ll be fine. We got by on worse for longer.>

R S M Factory

-As the elevator doors open, Shinobi is glomped by a ghost!-

Sylph:<You made it!> :D

-The party, including the duo of Metang, find themselves inside a small room opposite a bank of consoles, with a door a few feet away on the same wall as the elevator-

-Judging by the grimy windows and yet another human corpse with it's hand on the glass, this is that hanging pod above the main factory floor-

-This corpse in particular seems to have been run through, with the wound burned shut-

Levi: Ooh, bold~

Sandy: I wouldn't mouth off Vyv if I were you. It's a lil rude, but also he could like - vaporise you with a flick.

Levi and Sandy both laugh as Colton disappears from the leisure lounge and enters into Vyvyan's loft.

The loft is actually rather pleasing to the eye. Neat and tidy modern minimalism of mostly white, greys and black. With it's own lounge, tv room and kitchen - it seems that all these guys have their own full apartment like living spaces as well as the shared common rooms.

Nearby, a Gardevoir is relaxing on a recliner, and looks over to Colton.

Bridget: Oh, you must be that lost kid who's crashing for the night Vyv mentioned

He pauses.

Bridget: Why are you here? You... wanna talk to Vyv or something?

“Y-yeah,” Colton said, a little impressed at Vyvyan’s loft. “I, uh, wanted to ask if he wants to play Exploding Skitties? I think we got off on a bad first impression, and I know how bad video games are as an icebreaker,” he explained.

And also to ask his secret, he thought to himself, unsure if his latent Obscuric potential would keep him from being mind-read.

-Kai decides to send a couple texts. Just out of the blue.-

Lumiose City

-Having since left Kai's room after movie night and returned to the city, Alice looks at the message she just received with an eyebrow raised.-

-After a few long minutes spent agonising over her next message, she finally decides to send it.-

-Down chuckles at Shinobi's sudden tackle hug-

Shinobi: -Pat hugs in return- <Yeah, we're fine. Didn't expect you'd find a rescue party though>

^-^;

Down: <Likewise>

-The Xatu glances at the corpse-

<...But I doubt those strange cultists are confined to downstairs, we should keep moving>

-Unlike the other people in the area for Renard's wedding, Tori is wandering the town in simple jeans and T shirt and taking in a few of the sights-
