-Kai — being a lightweight, fae, and almost about to get a fourth drink, does not have nearly as successful a job of suppressing their laughter. They immediately double over cackling.-

Scarlette: Lucius. Bro. I know you can think of a ton of things cooler than that. Lucy pls.

-She gets her own drink.-

Party

Alex: Duly noted. And Alexa Vogel at your service! Call me Alex though.

-Alli may be near Channah-

Contact Me!

Asimov Island, Bar

-Lucius looks indignant as another drink appears in his hand without any apparent need to take it from the bar.-

Lucius: Hey, give me a break, I'm drunk! Besides, Lucius Danger Megazord Cain is an awesome name, you philistines just don't appreciate my creativity. We'll see who's laughing at the next family reunion when my name's in the history books. Assuming we even have another family reunion now that 90% of the family is dead.

Trans rights are human rights. JK Rowling preaches hate. If you sit at a table with five bigots and say nothing, there are now six bigots.

-a Whirlipede rolls up to Alli and squints-

Necrobutcher: <Is am layings eye on Pidgeotto?>

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

Asimov Stage

Lo. ^note Oh.

-Pent puts the chair back and sits-

Lo. ^note Well?

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Asimov Island

Luciana: "Can't say I'd be attending if we do."

She takes a drink.

"Also did you seriously just use philistines with a straight face."

Siobhan: "Hiya!"

“We’re just starting small,” Amaterasu explained. “Feel free to chat while I come up with a few more prompts. If you can~” she finished devilishly.

“Lycanroc?” ^note  What do you think she means?

[Insert Unoriginal Stinger Here]

-Upon the second utterance of "Lucius Danger Megazord Cain", Kai laughs even harder, nearly falling out of their chair before Scarlette reaches over and tips them upright.-

Scarlette: Oh, yeah, he uses big pretentious words in the least pretentious way possible all the time, it's hilarious. One of his best qualities, really.

Asimov Island, Bar

-Lucius folds his arms - again, a gesture that might have more impact if he had more than one of them.-

Lucius: Maybe I wouldn't have to if I wasn't facing such vituperation all the time. Also yeah, gotta say I'm with you on that front.

Trans rights are human rights. JK Rowling preaches hate. If you sit at a table with five bigots and say nothing, there are now six bigots.

Luciana: '"Nice. That's honestly respectable."

It's about then that Lucius' armlessness takes hold.

"So, uh, considering I distinctly remember you having both arms last I saw you, I take it that was another victim of being a J-teamer, or something?"

"That seriously is distressingly common."

All are significantly abnormal in a normal world... All are significantly normal in an abnormal world.

Asimov Stage

-Pent shrugs and ponders posing a little bit because hey-

Ny. Lo lopun. ^note Dunno. Probably messed with our voices or something.

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

-Scarlette goes a bit pallid, and starts to attempt to say something that vaguely dances around the subject of having been in Team Iron, but quickly realizes the best option is to just... let Lucius tell it.-

Asimov Island, Bar

-The colour suddenly drains from Lucius's cheeks, leaving him as pale and grey as most of his clothing.-

Lucius: Uh... not quite. It, er... it was more a result of not being a J-Teamer, honestly. Let's just say I took a job elsewhere, and they weren't satisfied with my performance. That said, I did meet Scar there, so, um... swings and roundabouts?

“Lycanroc, lycan?” ^note  If that were the case, you think we’d notice it?

Amaterasu was gritting her teeth, but you had to be really observant to notice.

Asimov Party

Lo, lun lopun ny lo lopunny ny lo. ^note Not sure, if it is a speech thing then either it's a consistent pattern that both sides can innately translate like I dunno Spoink [Latin] or there's a direct mental linkage akin to private two-way telepathy.

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Luciana nods. "I seeeeee."

It should be noted she just finished her second drink.

"Well, I won't pry further, you obviously don't want to talk about it with wording like that."

All are significantly abnormal in a normal world... All are significantly normal in an abnormal world.

Scarlette: Yyyyyyeah long story short we may have had a brief stint with crime that we do not look back on fondly, so, uh. Yeah. Meant to bring that up eventually but it would have been suuuuper awkward on a first meeting.

-She proceeds to hide her face behind her drink.-

Kai: Hey. Heeeey. Don't worry about a Brief Stint With Crime. It happens to some of us, it sucks, you got out. You got ooooout. Just gotta get oooout~ ♫

Asimov Party

“Lycanroc. Lycanroc.” ^note  I don’t even know how you would manage that. We were probably just told not to notice.

“Lycan. Roc... Lycanroc.” ^note  Wait. Both sides... oh my god.

“It’s getting annoying! You’ve been speaking monese ever since you woke up!” Amaterasu finally said.

And then it hit Colton and would likely hit Pent too. “Lycan,” ^note Arceus’ unholy flank, Colton breathed.

Asimov Island, Costume Contest

An Alolan man only Fuego, Celeste, Duolis, or Ephemera would recognize crosses the stage, dressed as... some sort of grey canid. It's not a Zoroark, Mightyena, or Lycanroc, though...

His entry form says "werewolf".

His sister wears plastic glow-in-the-dark fangs, a black cape with red lining, and a long black wig.

Their Breloom appears to be sulking about this choice of costume, and is simply wearing over-the-top designer fashion with way too many scarves, zippers, and cutout windows. Strangely the fabric seems to be colored differently every time you look at it.

Asimov Island, Costume Contest teux

A Zoroark in a floppy yellow hat steps on stage, waves, then hops off.

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?

Asimov Island, Bar

-Lucius raises his drink to Luciana.-

Lucius: See, I knew there was a reason I liked you, despite the fact that you're a Cain and all.

-He then glances back at Scarlette with the look of someone who was hoping their drinking problem wouldn't be brought up at the family reunion.-

Lucius: Uh... yeah, there was the crime thing. We... I want to say we only did little crimes, but that would be a lie. I did lose an arm over the whole thing, though, and we've basically disowned all the other crime people. Well, except for Alonya. She's pretty cool. And didn't Natalie also do the big betrayal thing too?

-He raises an eyebrow at Kai, but for once shows prudence and says nothing.-

“Lycanroc Ly.” ^note  Yeah, not really all that world-shattering.

“Lycanroc.” ^note  Still a rather impressive opener.

Asimov Island, somewhere private

Ever: (blushing) Well, don't say that. Anyone could be listening; I'd be so embarrassed.

But no. Obviously I have no interest in breaking up with you.

Breeze: -offkey whistling of Break In Your Arms-

Ever: -gently pushing the Chimecho- But...uh, I'm not saying you have to date him? Just that...if you're okay with it, and it's completely fine if you aren't...I might be interested in doing so?

I'm really bad with words when I'm not using them as weapons, apparently.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Party

Alex: Now then... How do we get started?

Halloween Party

-An Alolan Forme Ichigo manuevers to Jessica, evidently having teleported directly inside.-

-She would've lost it outside.-

Jessica: "Alola."

Elizabeth: "Konnichiwa. Where's Julius?"

Jessica: "OJ's...that way."

-She absently-minded points at Julius, eyes fixated on Ever.-

Jessica: "I should start a Fae polycule..."

-Elizabeth ignores her and heads for her boyfriend.-

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"
