Channah: -is taking an aimless walk around the HQ, occasionally hiding a tiny smile behind her hand with less subtlety than she would prefer-

Lo: <Now, please don't let this distract you from our training. I'm glad to see you like this, but you know how absent-minded you can be and we really cannot afford to get lazy now.>

Channah: Yeah, sure. -looks around- This is cool, isn't it?

Lo: <Science holds little to no import for me.>

Channah: Me neither, but it's like, Tagg's life's work, kind of. -smiles- You should've seen him in his lab coat.

Lo: <I see I'm going to have to get used to you gushing about someone other than Steven Stone.>

Lumiose

Ludovic: -surveying an area of damage to the city from the battle, with Idris in tow- ... What a shame. I liked that fountain. All this dust and debris... It's almost embarrassing to be seen in this town now, let alone live near whatever happened on this street.

Idris: <Master would never leave his ancestral home, surely.>

Ludovic: Of course not! It's just - One is reminded of low-class living arrangements at the sight of this mess, is all. I suppose they can't help it. Repairs cannot be underway soon enough, though. -sighs and delicately steps around a smashed police car, continuing onward-

Stormchaser

Nino: - and then we flew away just as the giant Pokémon shot something gross at us, and we stayed on the ship until it was over. You seriously didn't hear the explosions?

Legault: Er... No?

Nino: Arceus, Uncle Legault! I don't know how you can be such a heavy sleeper sometimes! What if the airship was attacked?

Legault: I would've woken up and panicked. Maybe died. -dryly- Now I know we've been here too long when you start cursing like they do.

Nino: -huffs- Well, I'm going out to explore! See ya! -does so, entering the HQ proper-

Legault: -looks thoughtfully at Jaffar's pokéball, left behind by Nino- ...

There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.

Lumiose, near Shutter

-Some Yggdrasil Corp. and Clavis Sciences employees approach Shutter carrying gear-

Ygg. Employee: Excuse me, are you Shutter?

Lumiose Warehouse

-The Fey Feind and World's Oyster approach-

World's Oyster: I was there. It was pretty intense!

Fey Feind:    And a bit more complex than you assume.

Lumiose City, Abandoned Warehouse

-The moment she hears World's Oyster and Fey Fiend approach, Whiptail's tone goes from sardonic to sultry, and she turns to them with her mask's painted-on grin.-

Whiptail: Oh, I don't doubt that. But what's important is that it left the gendarmes in disarray, and left us with a perfect opportunity to get rich~

Aeroraptor:    The city lies helpless before our wrath!   

Whiptail: Yes, yes. The point is, I have a plan, and since you all did such a sterling job last time I thought it'd only be fair to invite you all to be a part of it~

Team Iron Base - Past

-Lucille smiles as her eyes close.-

Lucille: I will... don't you worry...

-She's asleep within moments, and soon finds herself subconsciously snuggling up against Janet.-

PEFE HQ, last night

-To Sol-

He got the drop on me and his fancy Blaziken In the breeding sense of the term sung me to sleep.

Hitodama: -To her parents- <Er... a lot of things.>

PEFE HQ, Tagg's Office, today

I should probably mention that you can only really teleport in certain spots in here because otherwise... things might get nasty, I don't remember if Every made sure to have teleports redirect again rather than do the whole "How to kill someone with a phaser" thing.

-Looking around-

I really need to dust this place.

-The Centurion Dynamo Core just sits there, pristine as the day it was fished off the Animiculi using it for a power source five years ago despite the light coating of dust over everything else in the room-

Alakagross technology can be really freaky sometimes.

-Suddenly an e-mail-

A fan? I'll have to check on that later...

-And sends an acknowledgement e-mail-

Lumiose City, in a bridge and street full of statues, a few of which are still intact.

Lowell looks around, followed by his golurk, and inspects the damage. He has an oddly satisfied look on his face amidst the rubble.

Primus, via a speech device on his neck: Perhaps we should turn around, sir. This bridge may be compromised.
Lowell: It will hold, but the yes, such is the fate of stone, masonry, and concrete, to fall victim to the ravages of time and circumstance. But now with Lowecrete...

Lowell approaches an elegant statue of a woman dressed in a Honchkrow-themed 18th Century Dress with the words "LOVELLVS MACRAVL CALOSVS FACIEBAT, 1997."

Lowell: Nothing short of Arceus' will can destroy it. See, none of the statues they commissioned from me broke under extradimensional pressures. 1997. 1990. 1993. 2011. 2005. 2001.

Primus: The 1989 one is broken.
Lowell: Made as it was of base matter, as it is wont. The dark ages before Lowecrete. Such a shame. My first masterpiece, enshrined in Lumiose's streets as an enduring gem in the City of Light.
Primus: Your brother would disagree.
Lowell: Alas, Paul never truly did appreciate my early work. Wouldn't it be marvelous if we built the entire city in Lowecrete? It would be an eternal jewel.

Lumiose City Shopping Street

Shutter: Oh, hey. I was expecting a Clavis Sciences representative today. Can we more to a cafe? It'd be more convenient to discuss things there.

Hotel Richissime, ground cafe

Shutter sits down and asks a bellhop to bring the equipment to the hotel safe. In the meantime, he decides to order two coffees.

Shutter: Feel free to order anything else. Actually, almost all of the staff moved to this hotel at the moment because their homes got damaged. Since the battle destroyed our generators, this place is practically our headquarters.

A waiter arrives with two coffees.

Shutter: This hotel is the only one not raising prices since its road is intact. Anyway, I wasn't expecting the equipment to arrive this quickly. Indeed, when I reported that they were at the Stormchaser, they were with the executive producer at the time. Do you have any other messages from Ms. Clavis?

PEFE HQ

PEFE!Every: You can't accomplish much if you're not proud of it, right? Anyway, I intended to explain the weaknesses of the "bosses" as they were so uncreatively named, but I was kidnapped before I could.

Rotary: <And fortunately nobody was hurt.>

PEFE!Every: (unconvincingly) ...And fortunately nobody was hurt.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

-Kai nods, smiling tiredly.-

Kai: Of course.

Brie: That's not really the issue.

-There's a long period of silence as Alice finishes off her toast and coffee. For a moment, she seems to have a question dancing on her lips, but she trades it in for a statement at the last minute.-

Alice: ...I do hope Brie is doing alright, as she said. I sometimes suspect that she is in the habit of omitting details so as not to unduly worry others.

Lumiose City, Abandoned Warehouse

-Whiptail places a finger on the beak of her mask and leans forward.-

Whiptail: Weeeeeeeeell, as it so happens, there's going to be an exhibition of famous gems and jewellery at the National History Museum of Kalos soon, and even in light of recent events it's still going ahead as planned. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Aeroraptor:    Museum heist?   

Whiptail: Museum heist~!

-She turns back to the Fey Fiend and World's Oyster.-

Whiptail: We'll follow the same kinda plan as last time. On a slightly larger scale, mind, but I reckon we can handle it. After we walk away rich and famous we can focus on beating up that kid and stealing whatever fancy gizmo you want from him~ Sound good?

-Feeling their Auras-

I don't think this is going to be a very friendly conversation. I think I'd rather be with Sol and Channah right now.

-Politely-

Good afternoon, are you enjoying the sights?

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

-Kai blinks.-

Kai: ...I suppose that is something to worry about, maybe. She is a really bright, positive person, but I guess she might have things to suppress.

(...Hmm.)

-Kai distracts themself briefly by checking Brie's response.-

-They look back up to Alice, looking into her eyes, thinking about what she said.-

(I wonder if...)

Kai: ...Of course, sometimes things are hard to bring up even if you want to. Impossible, even. Hopefully she's not dealing with anything like that, though.

PEFE HQ, Kai and Alice's Module

Alice: I'm sure she would trust you enough to tell you about it if it were anything that serious. She is immensely fond of you, after all. I imagine she just wants to avoid what she might see as worrying or bothering me.

-She gives another smile and leans in to kiss Kai on the forehead.-

Alice: Anyway, I promised the rest of the Faction I would debrief with them today. You don't mind if I step out for a couple of hours, do you?

Lumiose City, Abandoned Warehouse

-Whiptail throws an arm around World's Oyster's shoulders.-

Whiptail: Relax, we'll be fiiiine~ Though if you've got any suggestions, I'm all ears. This is meant to be a team effort, after all.

Ludovic: -sees Lowell and Primus in the distance- ...Hm. That can't be old cousin Lowell, can it? That looks like his Golurk.

Idris: -squinting- <It appears so, master.>

Ludovic: Really. Is he - admiring his own artwork? That would be like him, from what I remember. -approaches them- Lowell? Hello there! It's been a long time.

There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.

Arthur and Denali had been running through all the things needed to set up his new identity, Denali had even been kind enough to set him up with a bank account and some funds. Arthur Grant was officially back among the living though this was a different Grant then the one that had existed long ago.

"And nobody in all this bureaucracy will question this?"

Denali smiled, "It'll only cause problems if it speeds up anything and makes it so more people can navigate this stuff easier. I've been doing this shit for years and never once have they questioned it."

"You make it sound like you helped set up these systems in the first place just to pull off this tauros shit."

"A) Very good use of modern slang and profanities. B) :)"

Arthur was a little horrified at Denali, partially for the admission of somehow twisting bureaucracy to suit their needs, or the fact that somehow they had vocalized a rather concerning smiley face.

"Be happy I'm on your side Arthur, I'm just glad to have a old friend back."

"I'm just glad I can talk to my family."

Denali blinked, "You certain that's a good idea?"

"Way I see it, Silas was so ready to share that Lucario thing, and I'm memorialized, me showing up to greet my descendants is probably not that weird."

Lumiose City Streets

Lowell: Good morrow, Ludovic. My goodness it's been so long. Checking out the damage in town, I see!

Primus, speech device: Good morning, Master Ludovic. I trust you and your retainer were unharmed in the recent commotion?

Lowell: And just as I expected. Most of my own work are, predictably, intact. Except the statue I based off Paul. He'll probably want a newer one built to his vain specifications. What brings you out in the plebeian ruins?

Corentin the Klefki: -peeks out from behind Ludo- <An eggspedition - >

Ludovic: -steps back in front of Corentin as Idris slaps the Klefki- And thank you for your concern, Primus. The attacks completely missed us, dieu merci. It's unfortunate that we have to endure looking at the aftermath - Would that the rest of the city was as sturdy as your statues. They're so remarkable in style and structure.
