Asimov Post-Hypnosis Practice

Amaterasu gently hugged Pent, at his request, stroking her back with her hands. She didn’t use her tails out of fear Pent would negatively associate them with the experience.

Asimov Party corner

Tommy: Likewise, my assistant, Ivan Losken.

Tommy stared incredulously. In his thoughts, he was subtly telling Ivan to verify Kai's statements for the duration of the interview.

Tommy: So, Divinely Appointed cosplay. Honestly, that isn't the weirdest thing I've heard since I got this job.

Daguerre: <Like you're the one to talk.>

Tommy, friendly voice: How does the prize-sharing work, if you don't mind me asking? And, did you just say you happen to be a member of the J-Team? Big fan!

-Hugs are much good yes-

-Pent tries to hug back-

Asimov Party

Problem is if I try to indulge and be villainous it might be indistinguishable from the real deal.

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Asimov Stage

Ammy is hugged.

“I’m sorry,” she whispers.

Pent is able to escape the hug if he chooses.

Luciana: "I suppose so."

She thinks for a moment.

"So how have things been for you since last time?"

Siobhan: "Excellent! To the workshop, then!"

Vi: "Are we-"

Siobhan: "I work here, of course we are."

-Ever, thankfully, was expecting something like this, and leans down enough that this doesn't result in being body-checked-

-they really want to point out that kissing someone is exactly zero words, but that would require breaking the kiss-

-dilemmas, dilemmas-

Breeze: <Give me your phone, you clown.>

-he snatches it away to text Diane back-

-After a good fifteen seconds or so, Lucius pulls away from Ever, grinning from ear to ear.-

Lucius: You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that for.

-Nevertheless, he seems to sober up very quickly in the aftermath.-

Lucius: ...I have to make some calls.

-He whips out his phone and starts texting people instead of calling them, because as previously established, his words aren't his strong suit.-

-Ton makes a sign with her hands, jabbing the Obscuric attack with a thumb to dispel it, then hops into a tree to watch the fight-

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?

Kai: Honestly, we've yet to work out specifics, we'll hash out how the "sharing" works later.

-Kai straightens up a bit upon the topic of the J-Team being brought to the table, smile widening.-

Kai: And yeah, I'm a J-Teamer. Frontier Brain, too. I guess I haven't properly introduced myself, I'm Kai Amarin.

-They smirk teasingly as they extend their hand for a handshake.-

Kai: Of course, fans knowing me in person can get dangerous sometimes. Promise you knowing who I am won't put me in danger?

Skye: Yeah, fair. That's why you gotta parade around with a Safety [Naruto], so people know you're not a threat.

Scarlette: Boring as hell, honestly. Me and Rose were gonna pick up our old Alola league challenges eventually but we've yet to get around to it.

-Ever is a fascinating shade of bright red when Lucius pulls away-

Ever: About five months now...?

-they giggle as Lucius pulls out his phone-

His words could use a little work.

Ah, well, there's always time to improve. ^_^

-Why escape a big foxen hug? It's calming and a net good-

It's fine. You tried your best and apart from the panic at the end it was kinda fun.

Asimov Villain Squad

Dang, now I'm getting tempted to do so yeah. Always a little fun to be like, big extra so yeah?

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

“But the panic happened at all,” Amaterasu chastised herself, inadvertently hugging Pent a little tighter.

Halloween Party - Outside

-Oberon's neck snaps.-

-It's cool though cause it ain't real.-

Oberon: <Thou shalt regret ruining thy garments!>

-The water passes around Elizabeth as a paperthin psychic field surrounds her.-

Elizabeth: "Shame you can't use Wood Hammer."

Oberon: <I doth not needeth my mighty Hammer of Wood, milady, for I shalt simply call down the wrath of the gods.>

< THORON!>

-Elizabeth tries and fails to hide a giggle as Oberon attacks with his Thunderbolt.-

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Skye: Oh yeah. Make a scene. Steal the spotlight. Tear through a ceiling. Rock it.

Silas stretched a bit as the night continued on, Roxy and Harold beside him, Silas opened his mouth to speak, "So what's the deal here? You guys gonna be human more often?"

"We got that Rock Candy, I say we go for it," Roxy responded smiling, "Being human is fun!"

Harold shrugged, "I like being around the same height as you, talking face to face, and not using telepathy."

"You know I can understand you right, no need for telepathy anymore."

Harold laughed, "Been doing it for years, not gonna stop now."

Silas smirked a bit, "How often is this gonna be?"

Ribbon gave a middling gesture, "On off, depending on what we feel like."

Silas understood, he got the idea, "Well we're gonna need to stock Wing with plenty of clothing if you two insist on human fo-"

He was cut off by the sound of crackling static and a portal opening, Silas almost panicked, only for someone to walk through the portal.

"So this is what it's like on the other side," a familiar voice said. The man brushed his hair and stroked his beard.

"Uh..."

"Oh, Silas," The man said, "Don't recognize me? It's me, Drakos."

Silas blinked and his jaw dropped, "Uhm, what?"

Drakos smiled, "I know bit of a shock, but we finally managed to get a stable portal generator running, Greetings from Foxeria and all, We've got a awards ceremony coming up and I wanted to invite you and the rest of your team in."

Silas didn't know what to say.

Asimov Party Corner

Tommy was quite relieved at the thought that Kai was a J-Teamer, but was also somewhat worried by his suspicions. Suddenly, it dawned on him that he'd already met them somewhere before, but this memory only served to make him feel even more conflicted. There was something about this fellow. He could recognize that specific outfit from the

"Keep it professional, Thomas," he muttered to himself. "Remember what Jean said. No Dick Tracy business. That's not what good guys do."

Tommy, mentally: <Do tell me if you can trust this fellow, Ivan. Neither Daguerre or I can confirm it, but they seem way too similar to this one fellow I encountered. From the museum heist.>

Tommy, out loud: So, I've long since been aware of the longstanding partnership between Asimov's scientists and the J-Team. Are there any developments between the two organizations that you'd be happy to share at this time?

He coughs.

Tommy: And forgive me for asking another question, but do the partnerships between the J-Team and Asimov yielded anything that could be useful in combating unsavory elements. I do recall that the J-Team has been involved in several conflicts, among them the rather infamous assault of Kalos by Team Mobius and the repeated attempts of jewel thieves to steal artifacts from key locations in Lumiose City.

-So much damn hug. They both need hug-

Unfortunately no robots around to boop... I mean I could boop my prize rover but I don't want to damage the new toy.

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Embedded Tower, Levi's Basement.

Levi is currently rummaging through a pile of DVDs and Blu-Rays on a riveting search for a specific boxset. Maybe if he kept things at least slightly organised, he'd be able to find it by now. But alas.

Levi: Where is it, where is it...

Cases of DVDs and Blu Rays go flying left and right, until Levi comes across his golden treasure.

Levi: There you are! One of my most prized possessions! My full, 25th Anniversary DVD Boxset containing all Seven seasons of The Golden Girls!

Levi presses the boxset against his chest with a pleased expression on his face.

Levi: Now I can binge TV eps all I want when I'm crashing at Lucy's Secret Base-

Speak of the devil, and he'll text you by phone.

Levi: Hm?

Levi goes over to his phone and checks the message.

Goes quiet.

And begins typing furiously.

It then crosses Levi's mind that the second half might need addressing too.

-Lucius is also rather red as he glances sheepishly away from Ever with a nervous smile.-

Lucius: Uh... yeah, thereabouts, if not longer. Honestly the thought probably crossed my mind back during the Iron days.

-He distracts himself from his embarrassment by checking his phone.-

Amaterasu sat across from her trainer, wearing a distressed face that didn’t look good, even after she chugged her own can of Lemonade and eventually got up to grab some wine.

“Leave a tip,” Colton advised, handing her the money she’d need and a little extra as he went back to his drink.

Someone might notice either of them.

-Oberon is blasted back by the Ice Beam but climbs to his..IDK tentacles/tendrils/pseudopods?-

Elizabeth: "We went up one mountain."

Halloween Party - Inside

-Shaun and Jessica sit at the bar.-

Jessica: "Hypothetically would you be open to polyamory?"

-Shaun pauses and places his hand on his chin in thought.-

Shaun: "Hmm...maybe. There is this girl...think her name is Vulpecula?"

-Jessica seems more annoyed than anything.-

Jessica: "You do not speak that name to anyone other than me or Fluffles without my permission. We will discuss this later. Understood?"

-Shaun grins, clearly a little buzzed if not drunk.-

Shaun: "Will you wear the suit for me?"

Jessica: "On the condition that you behave and wear your tuxedo."

Shaun: "Deal. Pleasure doing buisness with you, miss."

-Jessica raises an eyebrow but refrains from the obvious joke.-

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

After sending the text, he drops his phone and looks around.

Levi: I gotta get dressed!

He then rushes over to a clothes pile to rummage through that.

-Elsewhere at the bar, a girl dressed as Harley Quinn comes up to Colton with a pint of lager in her hand.-

Lissa: This is bullshit. It's not a real party if there aren't free drinks. What, they can afford to send rockets to Mars or whatever but they can't afford to pour me a decent beer?

Asimov party

-Gwen and Lila have been watching the hypnosis show-

Gwen: So, you ever been hypnotised before?

Lila: Probably the closest thing would be when I was possessed by a Sandyghast when I was 7. When you're from Alola, everyone warns you about them, but I still managed to catch myself on their little red shovel when I fell one day. Next thing I know I've been shovelling sand for hours and got half the beach doing it too until someone defeated it.

Gwen: That happened to me when I was on a family holiday in Alola. I never knew about not picking up random shovels in the sand. It was like waking up from a long sleep but feeling like you'd overworked yourself. After I came around I showed them why you shouldn't mess with a ghost-grass type when you're a ghost-ground type.

Lila: Oof. I'm actually on pretty good terms with the one that got me. But I guess I didn't have the power to mess them up.
