Eterna Outskirts

Damn damn damn damn. Okay, if Ice is a problem and Ghost won't work, we can at least make this a little easier.

Ever: Will-O-Wisp! I'm not sure what this mon is, but he seems to be awfully fond of those claws, so let's take 'em off him!

Nitro: <You're really stretching my creative muscles today, huh? Well, let's give it a go!>

-she spreads her arms wide, purple flames appearing between her hands and darting in and out of the visible spectrum as they dance around Nero, flicking at his face and claws-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Mauville

Eris and Helios are walking through the streets of Mauville.

There are occasional glances at Eris, but on the whole both are being more or less ignored.

Eris feels conflicted about this.

Eris: "How can people just... accept it, and move on?"

Helios: ~Are you complaining?~

Eris: "Complaining? No. Mystified? Yes."

Helios: ~It's a fact no less strange than the rest of your appearance. You should get normal clothes.~

Eris looks down at herself. "... Hmph, point taken."

"Though that does raise the question of where we're going to get money."

Helios: ~Find a job?~

Eris: "Ah, yes, with my papers that show that I'm born next year."

Helios: ~... Point.~

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

stormchaser kitchen

-Gwen is cooking poffins-

-Lila enters the kitchen and grabs some doughnuts from the fridge-

Gwen: <Hi.>

Lila: Oh, hi.

Gwen: <You good?>

Lila: Yeah, you?

Gwen: <Yeah, I'm fine.>

Lila: Wait, how come you're cooking in pokeform?

Gwen: <So if I can't reach something I can float up to get it or use shadow sneak if Danny->

-Danny walks in and is promptly pushed away by solid shadow extending from Gwen-

Danny: Hey!

Gwen: <Sorry, but last time you were within a 5 meter radius of me cooking everything went wrong.>

Danny: Ok, ok! I'll wait out here then!

Lila: It must be nice having siblings.

Gwen: <Well, it's kinda like lycanthropy. Sometimes a blessing, sometimes a curse.>

Lila: I think that's true with all family members. I'm just glad my cousin isn't a weremon. Things would be crazy.

Gwen: <Oh yeah! Yeah... 9-year old kids turning into Sandyghasts and possessing people is never a good thing.>

Lila: You know, I sometimes wonder if I had siblings before... Well, whatever happened, you know, happened.

Gwen: <Who knows? I'm sure you'll find out someday!>

-Sapphire flies in-

Sapphire: <I need food right now or else I'll do something!>

Lila: Ok, ok, you can have some of these donuts!

-she hands sapphire a donut-

Sapphire: <Thanks!>

-she flies off with it-

Gwen: <Welp.>

Lila: Yup. She can be nice, just not very often. I guess she's also a bit like lycanthropy. A blessing and a curse.

Gwen: <Good one.>

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

Very Expensive Apartment, Los Phiones, Angela

-Luca's sitting in a bubble bath, staring at the wall.-

Luca: "Hmm..."

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Route 117, Thorne Daycare

Hazard is helping out Gogie some with stuff when he gets the text from Luca and goes into his ball.

-As if Nero wasn't having a bad-enough day, the Will-O-Wisp strikes true. He staggers to his feet as Dragonfruit brings himself slowly back upright.-

Nero: <Rrgh...>

-After a moment of deliberation, he gives a scowl in Nitro's direction...-

Nero used Scary Face!

-And then rushes into the woods in the other direction.-

Dragonfruit: <Wait, don't let him—>

-And he almost topples backward as he attempts to start pursuing.-

Eterna Outskirts

Nitro: <Eep!>

Nitro's speed fell!

-Ever tilts their head, looking between Evan and the forest-

Ever: Yeah, I think unless you've got a way to shift into something less...conspicuous, and immediately, I'm gonna go ahead and veto chasing an unknown Pokemon into unknown territory.

Nitro: <Who was that, anyway?>

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

-Dragonfruit ambles to another tree to lean on for support. The tree bends noticeably.-

Dragonfruit: <He calls himself Nero, because he really wants to play up the "edgiest person ever" angle, I think. He used to be human, but got into some sort of accident at the Aether Foundation and came out like... that.>

Eterna Outskirts

Ever: ...Huh. That's...horrifying. Any idea of what sort of accident?

-Ever narrows their eyes a little-

It's no connection to why he has it out for you, is it?

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Dragonfruit: <I don't really know for sure, I wasn't there when it happened. I didn't see it. And he doesn't think I did it, he's just dead-set on thinking the Omniband can fix it somehow.>

Eterna Outskirts

Ever: Fun. Horrifying. Furrifying.

-...-

Ever: No, forget I said that actually.

Maybe I'll try and introduce him to my cousin who wants to vivisect you. I'm sure they'd hit it off.

Ever: She'll get it when she gets it.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

-Dragonfruit takes a step away.-

Dragonfruit: <Can we not think about how bad those two meeting would be?>

Eterna Outskirts

Ever: I dunno. She could probably fix him up. Maybe.

...Or possibly she'd make him significantly more of a problem for you. It's 50-50 with her.

So, are you going to turn human again at some point? My neck's starting to hurt.

Nitro: <Mine's not.>

Ever: Do you have a spine?

Nitro: <Nope. I could make one, I guess.>

Ever: Please don't.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Dragonfruit: <Uh, give me about two more minutes? It times out on its own.>

Eterna Outskirts

Ever: That's terribly inconvenient.

-they lie down on their back to look up at Dragonfruit-

So, you have Alolan Exeggutor, Drifblim, Houndoom, and...whatever that big muscly bug is. What else can you do?

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Dragonfruit: <Aggron, Joltik, and Greninja too. And, uh, it replaces old ones with new ones sometimes, when it goes into this weird mode where it turns yellow and stuff.>

Eterna Outskirts

Ever: Oh fun.

-...-

...So, do you just have a whole rogues' gallery going on? Is that what's happening?

Alolan Condo

Doomsday: <... Wow. Fuck. I'm bored.>

Ludmilla: Today, hot off the presses...

Doomsday: <Okay the snark is a lot less funny when it's coming from someone who isn't me.>

Ludmilla: You wanna go do something?

Doomsday: <I wanna go to PokeStar Studios and try for a role.>

Ludmilla: Oh really?

Doomsday: <Yeah. Win an Onix award. Something like that.>

Ludmilla: Oh please. Who's won an Onix from just cursing a lot?

Doomsday: <Collin Firth.>

Ludmilla: ...

Doomsday: =)

Ludmilla: Okay, point for you.

Silas sat his computer and worked over some blueprints, Roxy had come to him recently about designing a proper super suit and had pointed out she was gonna still join him and Hazard on Delta Raids. It made sense to get her properly suited up for everything, her request wasn't even entirely unreasonable, she wanted a stealth suit based off of the mobility suits used.

He had some designs ready but found some of her requests odd, "Give it a hood like that new Spider Character from the comics" being one, but Silas had tried to accommodate. Sadly recently he had hit a rut in terms of what to do and was stuck.

Roxy stepped over, "Heeey Silas, something wrong?"

Silas mumbled a bit before responding in his usual monotone, "Can't think straight, unsure of what to do, too many ideas interfering in my head. Bishop still hasn't found a new Delta base."

Bishop popped out of another computer temrinal, "He's gotten good at encryption, it'll take more time before we can find one. The Jackal waits."

Silas groaned more and Roxy sat down, "Well, what else is on your mind?"

"Space pod."

"You mean the mech?"

"Yes the mech, thinking of ideas, kinda wanna offer up some more. Space adventure seems more and more inevitable."

Roxy blinked, "Didn't you just go on a awesome space adventure?"

"Tried to, just got caught up in war, it was not fun... well kinda fun because I just enjoy flying the Delta Wings but all in all thoroughly unpleasant. Ceitar was not prepared for us though."

Roxy nodded at what Silas was saying, "Okay so, why not offer up some Mech work? it's not as if mechs are unusual, you guys got access to the materials and Zeke seems willing to let you J-Teamers use his facilities to build yourself high tech gear to assist in pokemon adventures."

Silas nodded a bit back, "...Sure why not. It'd be interesting to see who responds."

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Dragonfruit: <Yeah, pretty much. I'm like [any of the various analogues of Batman], except I actually have a superpower!>

-At that moment, his tree powers deactivate, sending a human tumbling down to the ground.-

Evan: ...Which I am still working on perfecting.

Somewhere, Nowish

-Pent is kinda face-down on some sort of bedding. He's just kinda in a mood right now-

Did we pick out anything for Susan yet?

Shift: <Well are you planning on actually meeting over the holidays?>

Maybe? It'd have to be something small because I've already got the party...

/Duck/: >Have you considered cookies sir?

Maybe? Didn't we do cookies last year and it kinda sucked?

/Duck/: >Yes but maybe this time you won't let a post-dunmeri Murkrow read off the recipe. Also it didn't suck, Selene enjoyed them just fine.

Point taken. Find me a usable kitchen and a good recipe.

Shift: <Speaking of.>

Yeah I know I've got everything prepped I just need to actually go out to the locations.

Shift: <And the other one?>

Ah... Not sure. Can I delegate?

/Duck/: >I'll see what I can do.

Shift: <Yo, can I help?>

... As long as Duck has full supervision, fine.

Shift: <Yay.>

/Duck/: >Yay!

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Eterna City

-Ever debates asking Nitro to catch Evan, but shouldn't superheroes learn their trade through experience? On the other hand, this guy's just a kid, so-

-well, too late now-

Ever: Well...be careful. Superheroing isn't the easiest line of work, nor the safest.

Nitro: <It is among the coolest, though.>

Ever: Mmmmmno. I know too many superheroes to agree with that assessment.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

-Evan groans in moderate pain, before standing up.-

Evan: No, I agree with her, it's definitely the coolest.

Eterna Wherever

Ever: ...Okay. Just don't do anything dumb. I have too much to worry about from people doing dumb things to add another person to the list.

Nitro: <One of those being yourself?>

Ever: Which makes it a full-time job.
