“No,” Colton said. “Some are exponentially more eccentric. My Ninetales, for example, plays my mindscape like a fiddle with post-hypnotic triggers. A lot. My Luxray is a stoner and my Blaziken is literally a video game character,” he added. “It almost makes my Lucario - who has a split personality - look like the sane one half the time,” he added.
“But yeah, I don’t carry alcohol. When me, music and alcohol combine, the results are on the internet forever.”

Subject: Notice of Loss and items left in the Stormchaser
Hello, Ms. Aphrodite
First of all my deepest sympathies to the events that transpired earlier today, especially given the exceptionally personal details of the circumstances involved. I continue to hope for the best for you and your family.
On the subject of the Stormchaser transferring locations. It has come to my attention that not only were personal belongings belonging to me and my assistant Thomas Petersen had been left in the Stormchaser when it took off during the siege, two of my assistant's pokemon—a kabuto and a joltik—might have been left behind in the ship during the siege and thus are now roaming the Stormchaser's premises.
The equipment belonging to the Geographic Society should remain largely intact in their bags. As they are technically yours, I have informed Mr. Harvey of their current location.
Mr. Petersen and I welcome the discussion on the return of our personal effects at a later date.
Yours,
Gavin "Shutter" Albright,
Cinematographer, Documentary Division

Lissa: Dude, that's the fun part.
-She grins and finishes off her can with another mighty swig, before tossing it aside with blatant disregard for the HQ's delicate ecosystem.-
Lissa: But yeah, they sound like a wild bunch. Almost make me wish I had mons of my own. I mean, I used to, but that...
-She hesitates, then trails off, her grin fading as she shakes her head.-
Lissa: ...Anyway. Not sure I'm ready to go back to that well.

“We’re not here to reminisce,” Colton considered. “We’re here to kick the crap outta Multiman. Where’s the rest of the J-Team at? I’m about as much a warrior as them,” he explained, Night Slash Claws on his knuckles, illusory Stone Edge orbiting behind him.

You're shivering. Are you afraid?
Pianis: Do you need anything?
Mezzo: Mmm, I could use about 50 cute girls hand-feeding me gourmet chocolates while I sit on a throne of pillows.
Pianis: I meant, do you need anything I could actually get you.
Mezzo: Oh, then no.
Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

-Lissa jabs a thumb towards the Landing Bay.-
Lissa: Probably all milling about over there. I don't think I'm gonna partake in the meet-and-greet, though. I've got a team of my own to get back to, and while I might be pretty good in a fight, I'm not "shadow claws" or "shapeshifting" or "projectile death spheres" good.
-She turns, then stops as she remembers something.-
Lissa: ...Colton, right? I'm Lissa. Just realised I never got around to saying that.

Vi has wandered off to explore the apparently less dangerous bits of the HQ, though is sticking mostly to the area by the j-team modules and airship dock, because when told "hey that's dangerous" unlike every other PC her first instinct isn't "let's go poke it."

Daydre exits the Stormchaser and looks around.
"Wow, look at all these people... So this is what HQ is like?"
Not really wanting to butt in on other peoples' conversations, she, like the fool she is, starts wandering the facilities. Probably Definitely a bad idea but eh, she's not gonna wander too much right?

-they pop it off-

Ever: ...Still hurts. What.
Brie: Is that normal?
Ever: Obviously not.

PEFE!Every: Dr. Basket. Do you need a ride home?
Basket: <Oh uh I left my kid on the Riviere Walk >-.>
PEFE!Every: Oh. Um, alright. Rotary?
Rotary: <On it.>
PEFE!Every: So. Now what?
Ever: We just saved a whole planet. What more "what" is there?
Brie: We should probably get over to Lumiose. Lugia, I hope everyone's alright...
Ever: If they're not, is there realistically anything any of us can do about it? You've lost a lot of blood, Amanita might have a concussion, and my torso is basically a sack of skin filled with bone powder right now. None of us are in a condition to fight.
Brie: ...We should still check.
PEFE!Every: Rotary?
Rotary: <This is getting tiring.>
Lumiose Streets
Brie: ...Wh...where is everyone?
Ever: We were gone quite a while...
To: Dr. Tagg
From: Every Memito
Are you alright? I and my cousins were waylaid during the siege of Lumiose; we just got back and everyone appears to have vanished.
...Also, I apologize for the lack of forewarning. I was very engrossed in several projects and it never occurred.
Ever: Cool. Text me if he responds.
Brie: Won't you be here?
Ever: ...Yeah, I think I'm going to do other things for a while. Like I said, text me if he responds. I'll catch up later.
-they shift Amanita to Brie, take a brief, limping step around a corner, and are gone-
Brie: ...Should we be worried?
PEFE!Every: I have no reason to think so.

Alli: You're back! You made it back!
Locke: Ah! Yeah, we did. Had a hell of an adventure but we did.
Shizuo: Seems we missed a lot...
Archer: Certainly a lot of new people, on the bright side!
Alex: Though... Where's Gudrunn?
-Alli's expression suddenly grows much more distressed-
Alli: Well, er, uh... She got these artifacts and went crazy and started terrorizing people and all that, ehe...
All: ...
WHAT?!
Locke: We gotta find her!
Archer: We gotta get those artifacts away from her!
Shizuo: We gotta destroy those artifacts!

-Sounds like wherever this call is being made from, it's super busy with a bunch of people discussing the huge monsters and the weird soldiers who wandered out of the alleys-
H-hey, is this a J-Team member..?

Missed the evac, you lot still chasing Mobius?

-Umbra and Lina are around when they suddenly run into Locke-
-Everything stands still for a moment-
Locke: ...Mom? Dad? You're really still here?
Umbra: ...Yes. We are.
Locke: I... This is incredible, we can be a family aga-
Lina: Locke? As much as I'd like otherwise for your sake, that's not going to be easy.
Locke: Huh? Why?
Umbra: How you came to us wasn't by natural consequences. In a sense we're not the parents you knew. It happened so fast and we still need adjusting.
Lina: Locke... We want to be your family but we're not sure how to pull it off.
Locke: ...Oh...
-pause-
...I... I need to think... I'm sorry...

Ambushed by a Mobius member. She uh... Took my bag.
-He pauses, something muffled about needing just a little more time-
Sorry, using the Center's payphone and there's a small queue. Can you uh... Can you tell Tagg that my bag's been taken and that I need a pickup from the Lumiose Center? My usual transit options were in the bag too...

Vi leans on a railing.This was her first mistake as it snaps, sending her tumbling towards the depths of the HQ.
Where she's slowed and caught by telekinesis.
Aurelius: ~So much for 'permission.'~
Vi: "In my defense -"
Aurelius: ~Which I'm not sure you deserve~
Vi: "- it wasn't my fault, the railing snapped."

Vi is unceremoniously dropped the remaining six inches onto the floor, whereupon she stands, takes a step forward, and immediately turns it into a dodgeroll, causing a projectile of some sort to narrowly miss her.Vi: "... Was that a trap? ... Someone who works here is incredibly paranoid."
Aurelius: ~Last I checked you had a motion sensor on your door.~
Vi: "Attached to an alarm bell, not a shotgun."
