It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Erzatz Alliance - Past

Girl: -Chuckles- "Alright, next is right hand on green..."

-She continues spinning for a few more turn, and it soon becomes apparent that this mat is too big for two people to get tangled up on eachother without intentionally trying to trip the other up-

-But it's kind of a boring game that way, isn't it?-

-Spin!-

Girl: "Purple Groudon...?"

Down: "Okay, what do we put on that?"

Girl: "It doesn't say? Oh, here's the rules... Looks like it doesn't matter. I guess it's a wild card."

-Sure enough a purple rubber Groudon head is sticking out of the mat between the two-

-Down reaches over and puts a hand on it-

-Merah puts her right hand on the green, before noticing the purple groudon-

Merah: Frick... I guess I could try this...

-She grabs the side of the groudon with her right hand-

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

Ivan: "Hm. I'll... I'll just, use telepathy. How'zat sound?"

Apollo: ~It doesn't sound at all, moron. ~

Hal: <Hmm hmm. Indeed.>

-Ivan pulls out a beaten-up laptop. At least it isn't on fire.-

Ivan: "I'll transcribe this interview. And, translate if needed. Now, Johnny, wouldja like to do the honors?"

Stormchaser

-Dusting my room-

Can't believe no one came inside here for the past two months.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Tagg might not be as alone as he thinks, as he'd hear some mumbling and a little coughing coming from his closet.

-Hearing sounds-

...You can come out now Schneider, you know there's no hiding from me without a Jammer.

The closet door opens up as Maggie and Ricin fall out.

Maggie: "Ehe, true enough. And a Jammer would set off alarm bells, so..."

Ricin: <Mmm, this place really has gotten nice and dusty with you gone.>

Ricin starts eating some of the stray dust.

<Good you're back, though.>

Maggie: "Heh, yeah, heard Izaya's trap kinda backfired on him with what you did."

-To Maggie-

Here's hoping, he had to be doing something while Channah and I were gone for two months. I still have something I need to do with her.

Probably should've asked more questions when I noticed more people running around with scarves like we're in Treasure Town but I was too busy with my own shit. What have you been up to anyway, it's been forever since we've talked.

Maggie: "Well, I'd like to say I've been working on PEFE stuff."

Ricin: <But se's mostly been playing video games.>

Maggie: "Basically. Just been... thinking about stuff, trying to help with the team when I can, but haven't been doing much of that."

-To Maggie-

...What kind of stuff?

Maggie: "Mmmm.... More on the gender end, but still not totally sure how I feel."

Geographic Society Office, Kalos

Jonathan, in [English]: Right on.

He clears his throat.

Jonathan, in heavily accented Kalosian: <Hello, Monsieur. We represent Illumis Geographe, my name is Jonathan Halliburton and my associate and I will conduct this interview. We would like to learn several things firsthand about your works, your artistic vision, and the circumstances that led to your death all those decades ago.>

Beat.

Jonathan, to his smartphone: Walter, the questions prepared by the art and culture department, please.

Walter, through a speech device: Well, aren't we being bossy. What am I, your slave?

Jonathan: Well, I am your trainer and you owed me a solid.

Walter: What did I do to deserve this?

Jonathan: I was level grinding for 72 hours. That's three days and four rare items I'm never getting back. Also, you ruined my dad's tax returns and my mom's seminal novel. That's bad, too.

Walter: I automate everything for you.

Jonathan: I feed you, got you that pre-order of Darkrai you kept bugging me, and give you unfettered access to [Netflix]. You're welcome.

Walter: Fine.

Walter presents a questionnaire. Jon reads it and finds that they really wanted that question out of the way.

Jonathan, in Kalosian: <What can you tell us about how you came to become a ghost?>

-To Maggie-

That so? You wondering if you want to present different in a more mundane way, or in certain other ways?

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Maggie: "I mean... well, I've tried binding sometimes and, like, I'm neutral to positive on it depending on the day, even if I can't leave it in too long."

"Every could probably do something about it but... honestly I don't know yet and the Ditto thing is a bit uncomfortable to me. Though, still, it's easier than some people have it, know there are plenty who would do it in a heartbeat."

"Honestly, though, it feels kinda petty since I'm not sure about it yet and it's just part of me compared to other people who have it with their whole body, but I kinda wish that one amulet could be more... selective in what it changed."

Stormchaser

-To Maggie-

Well... the full mechanics of the amulet are probably more in Pent's wheelhouse than mine, but in an intellectual sense I can see what you're getting at, plenty of people don't even have the option to use it. And if the world at large ever learned about it... that's a whole new kettle of fish. Also I'm not sure if those Ditto cells pass ethical standards yet since Every's the only person she's used those things on as far as I know.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Maggie: "I mean, yeah, true. Like, I do feel like it'd be good for transitioning but... well, some people might still like their bodies like they are in some ways that the amulet might change. Plus, well, I don't tend to think as much about the 'what if people find out' end, but... well, if it's just one, accessibility is an issue when it's the whole world."

"And... I think she used them on Jacob while you were on vacation and that turned out... fine, I think. Still iffy."

Hal: <Put simply, I died. Put complexically... Well, after I died, I was in this void, oui? I was told I would participate in a competition, which turned out to be an odd, twisted game of [Quiplash], only those who lost were sent to the afterlife. And, ultimately, I won. But, I suppose, some wires must have been crossed along the way, or mayhap I was too attached to my art. Either way, I was unable to fully manifest in my current form.>

The Pen grinned at Pentigan. -Getting some fun new toys and all? Seems joining a superhero team has improved your mood as well, gotta wonder, what are you gonna call yourself? Cause you can't just be 2B, the marketing would get sued.-

The Pen then started to think of various modified costumes for Pent to wear, -Well whatever.-

Geo Soc Offices

Jonathan jots down Hal's responses (as translated mentally by Ivan) as he wrote in shorthand.

Jonathan, in Kalosian: <Your last art piece was famously unfinished and until recently, was undiscovered and thus unrestorable. As you've mentioned, it may have been your Earthly tether that kept you from manifesting fully. What spurred you to make a painting of a clown?>

Someplace Urban

-Pent's relocated to a nice clear area to await the 'air'ship-

Really 'cause... Wait has someone already sold the rights to...

-He grumbles a bit-

Guess I'll have to come up with something fresh...

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

The Pen shrugs, -It's inevitable, And something Fresh wouldn't hurt, it'd be creative and you could say you kicked ass as your own creation. I did like doing the Pod thing though, that was fun.-

Over Pent's phone he would hear, "We're here Ensign, feel free to climb aboard.-

The ship landed and a boarding ramp to the upper airlocks extended.

Urban Location

-Pent sighs and gets on board-

Just need to come up with a whole new costume, probably with a different power set...

-It's probable that it looks like he's talking to noone to observers-

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Silas is there at the airlock and is confused... for a few seconds until he remembers. "Oh right you got some sort of ghost thing haunting you."

The Pen makes itself visible to Silas, -Sup. Ghost thing, that's new.-

"So welcome aboard Pentigan, what were you two talking about?"

The Pen shrugs, -Issues with marketing considering the Cosplayer here can't keep using Toobs.-

Cobalt Wing

Yeah just sorta considering that someone's gonna try and make a TV show about this stuff. Which yaknow, having someone that is definitely a copyrighted character would dissuade them... But yeah guess I need some sort of new identity to go on...

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.
