Silas sighed, "I have no idea who that is honestly. All I got from the report was details about the island and it's fantastic magitek and everything... The Jester bit wasn't covered as much. What the hell was the Jester?"
The Pen's avatar became visible to everyone, -I can help explain a bit. Jester was a Glitch, a corruption that woke up from the use of his very being as a fuel source. Called that due to his "laughing clown" nature as a monster. I'm based in the study of his ink so I'm technically a construct.-
Silas just blinked, "Arceus you guys get into trouble."
The Pen vanished with a smirk, returning to Pent's perspective only, -Trouble you actively seem to hunt for.-

S-so yeah that was the Pen of Joey Drew, an artifact Jester made that persisted after the defeat of the core glitch a while ago...
-She just kinda holds up the physical component briefly-
I'm sorry if you have reservations about working with someone who has been using glitch-derived objects to augment their power... However this brings up the issue: The things that Jester creates did not vanish with his demise, so there may be other things out there with the same malicious intent that you discovered in the depths of Castle Lycanrow.
-She sits down again-
It appears we've gone from hunting poachers to cleansing the world of yet another glitch.

I am quite fine, thank you for asking...
-He weakly tries to shuffle away-
Just looking for a hat, maybe some defective merch that doesn't change my form...
-His phone beeps slightly and he answers it-
>Sir, while you're at Ersatz can you get me one of those transformation items? I am quite intrigued as to my human form.
... Maybe later buddy

He turns back to the FE group.
Mr. Bitey: <... Now this is a tale of tragedy, and woe....>
Once upon a time, there lived a lonely Primarina. He had all a Primarina could ever want! Like, shells and stuff (AN: I dunno specifics I asked my Brionne friend and he told me to piss off). But he always felt like there was something missing in his life.
Primarina: < I have everything I could want.. and yet I feel empty inside.>
One day, while idling on the coastline he spotted something interesting. A human prince had fallen from his boat and was in the process of drowning.
Prince: "HRGHKGLSNSLKCN"
Primarina: <Oh shit>
The Primarina, entranced by the prince's beauty, and also not the kind of mon to abandon someone to a horrible watery grave based on their physical appearance, endeavored to save the young man.
The Primarina was easily able to drag the young prince to shore and-
Mr. Bitey: <Oh wait hold on I gotta reorganize the pages.>

R. Mika runs past with the Z-Crystal still in her mouth.

Even the staff seemed to have eaten their fill. Lowell seems very pleased.
Lowell: Well, the decision is unanimous. Consider your contract signed. When can we expect the first shipment?
Reynard: We have plenty of stock so expect it in at least a day. As my personal gift to the Macraul family, the unfinished chocolate blocks are yours free of charge. Serve them to guests or eat them all yourself. The choices are yours and yours alone!
Gaspard hears a familiar scratching at one of the doors and proceeds to investigate. He exits the room and meets up with an umbreon.
Gaspard: Lamarck.
Lamarck, via speech device: The security has been alerted for some reason. Unruly guests from what I've heard, but I have my suspicions. My brothers and sisters have been alerted. Wipe the chocolate from your face, young master.

A small pack of what appeared to be various eeveelutions (and an eevee) massed around the collection. In their mouths were pieces of steel.

One of Sylvestre's weird statues looks kind of off, like parts and embellishments were taken from it.
Tommy: Hey, neat statue.
Sara: It's like what Palkia would look like without her makeup.

Closer inspection of the "eeveelutions" reveal themselves to be strangely colored umbreons. They dodged Merlin's and Piku-Chan's attacks and began to form a circle out of their metal, though they were unable to stop the others from running away.
One of them, colored like a vaporeon, sneered angrily at them.
Darwin, the blueish umbreon: <Change of plan, friends. Chase 'em. That fairy's not getting past the renovated halls.>
Lest we forget there are halite lines between the fine marble.

Halis is bored, and decides to send out a text to the rest of the J-Team just to see what they're up to.
Halter: "Hey, didn't I tell you to put that thing away? It's going to rot your brain, you know."
Halis: "Oh, relax... I'm just asking around a bit. It's not like I'm playing that game I know you watch me play."
Halter: "I don't... that's not... ugh, nevermind. I'm going to take a walk. Don't follow me, I'll be back later."
Flustered, the false image of Halis storms out of the room.
