"Oh, we're doing this?"

Daydre taps her Z-Ring. She's immediately enveloped in a Mega Evolution-esque cocoon of red light as this song

starts to play. And when I mean play I mean you can actually hear this song in-universe, somehow.

Within the cocoon Daydre spins around, pieces of her costume appearing one by one until the outfit is complete. That finished, the cocoon bursts apart like glass and the music subsides. Daydre is in an entirely different pose◊ than when she started.

"... OH of COURSE I get a meme song as my transformation music. Great. Couldn't just be quiet." Daydre kicks a conveniently placed can and grumbles frustratedly.

Heathrome

-Luca's just been watching Daydre in awe.-

Luca: "oh gods why didn't I pick a better activation phrase am I gonna play meme music is my outfit gonna look good a second time"

-Luca taps his headband and mutters something under his breath.-

-He sparkles blue as his clothes change to his magical guy outfit.-

-Thankfully there doesn't seem to be any music.-

-Yet.-

Silas smirks a bit and looks at Saitama, "New teammate, always fun to have. Meet mine."

In walks a larger than average Noivern who blinks at Megan, <Hello there... Silas you didn't tell me we had a guest.>

"This is my newest teammate, this is Conroy, yes he's named after the voice actor for the Noiverman Animated Series, good show really."

<The best version of Noivernman and nobody can contest otherwise. Also their Joker is also the best.>

"As for the plates, sounds like you visited the Adventure Zone," Silas commented.

"Hey this is fun and all, but we do have a perfectly good lounge downstairs, plus food," Roxy added.

"True, true."

The improved lounge is even larger, boasting what looks to be a billiards table, several other tables, a even larger TV and couch area, as well as a improved kitchen area with tools meant for Zero G use.

Silas takes in another deep inhale, "Good to be home again, and much better... I wonder if they made this place fireproof."

<I hope so,> Amber adds with a grin.

"Hey that was one time," Roxy pouts.

Hearthome PMC

I'm waiting on my Magical Girl, duh. I'm not a Magical Girl remember?

-He shrugs-

She'll probably turn up when things start popping off. In the meantime I'll tag along because hey I can still fight on my own terms yeah?

Hearthome

Me: -looks at Pentigan- Good to know.

Anyway... I think it's time I get to transformin'...

-I take the Sparkle Tap in my left hand and with my index and middle fingers, press the heart-shaped button in the center-

-The button starts to glow in a rainbow of colors-

Me: Here I go...

-with all my heart, I yell-

Loving Melody Charge!

-The glow intensifies as a storm of flower petals surrounds me and this song

starts to play. And when I mean play, you can actually hear it in-univserse as well-

-I spin around as my clothes (sans my underwear) disappears into light and I change into my Magical Uniform, shirt first, then shorts, then sneakers, then my mofumofu hat-

-both my hair and my eyes change to a bright pink-

-As the first chorus plays, I spin my magical wand around in my right hand while wearing a silly smile before I throw the wand into the air and catch it with both hands-

-I strike a cute pose as the flower petals dissipate-

Me: How do I look?

"So, we're doing this?" Max asked Sunny, to which she sagely nodded. "You first."

Sunny nodded, reaching behind her back as she pulled out a scabbard twirling it in her hand.

“Let's dance!”

She gripped her beau’s sword’s scabbard in her hand, a black power emanating from the center of it. The black gripped her arms up from her elbows, and she threw up the scabbard, detaching the black and leaving her with black gloves that went to her elbows.

The spinning scabbard fell down, and some of the dark wrapped around the top of her head, leaving a lacy headband that was still black. With her left hand, she grabbed the scabbard, placing a hand on where the black was emanating and causing white to spill out from inside it. She hugged it close to herself, turning her shirt a solid white and wrapping her forearms in lacy cuffs.

She removed her hands and let the black pool at her feet, taking the form of the tattered lower half of a dress, exposing her black leggings worn under the black skirt that went down to her legs, save for the front half which was open for freer movement.

A pair of black heels with black ribbons appeared, and she threw the scabbard once again, catching it with a palm blocking the dark from escaping and she soon felt the flow cease. Her transformation complete, she held the scabbard to her hip as she pumped her free fist.

Sunny looked at her attire, please with what she had been blessed with as she looked at her partner in the business. Max rolled her eyes and pirouetted while hollering.

“Fae's shift!"

The ribbon tied around her wrist became undone via her swiping her wrist around her body. With a few pirouettes, the ribbon spiraled around her, showering her in sparkles. The sparks coalesced at the bottom of her body, but began to ascend, transforming her unsightly pink sneakers into black-and-pink heels with pink ribbons decorating the tongue.

The sparks ascended to her waist, doing away with her jeans in favor of a black-and-pink skirt. He shirt was shifted into a sleeveless shirt with a cream-colored ascot, sleeves separate from her arms that split and revealed hot pink gloves that went to her elbows.

The ribbon departed from around her before looping back around and tying itself into a bow around her wrist. The ends draped down to the ground, from her hand being on her hip. She instead lifted her hand up to cross her body, presenting the back of her wrist while her other arm was held behind her back.

"Now what?" She asked.

Eva: Okay, so now I have to try and remember what ambiguous phrase-

-The pocket sized pot starts glowing green as Eva starts spinning rapidly. The green glow envelopes her as she transforms into her black and neon green outfit. The glowy sphere of green dissipates and Eva stops spinning. Dizzy from the spinning, she just about stops herself from falling over.-

Eva: Okay, this is gonna take some getting used to.

-Mezzo is lying on a couch, playing a game on her Switch-

Sunny: <You know, you and Ever haven't done anything together in so long.>

Mezzo: And?

Sunny: <Aren't you worried?>

Mezzo: Not really. I just... haven't had the energy to do anything with them lately.

Sunny: <But what about your relationship?>

Mezzo: What about it? I said I haven't had the energy, not that I'm breaking up with them or something. How could I?

Sunny: <Well that's good, but shouldn't you go on a date?>

Mezzo: Why are you so concerned about this?

Sunny: <I could use some new material for fics.>

-on the other side of the room, Noelle sits in a chair, moping-

-she opens up a container of mints, pops a few into her mouth, then hugs a pillow-

Hearthome City

-Lucius blinks as the rest of the group begins their transformation sequences.-

Lucius: Whoa whoa whoa, don't you think we're rushing ahead a little here? Like I said, I can't transform yet, I haven't even signed a contra-

Maul: ~That's what you think.~

Lucius: GAH! Where did you- what are you talking about?

Stormchaser - Some time ago...

Lucius: Hey Maul, pass me a drink.

Maul: ~Sign here first.~

Lucius: Oh, for the love of... fine, I'll play your game.

-He grabs a pen and scribbles a signature onto the suspiciously long scroll floating in front of him.-

Lucius: Now can I get that drink?

Hearthome City

Lucius: ...That doesn't count.

Maul: ~It does.~

Lucius: I was under duress.

Maul: ~Hardly.~

Lucius: Look, I get it, you got one over on me, very funny and all that, but I don't think you can actually bind me to a contract or anything like-

Maul: ~By the power of Greyskull.~

-Suddenly, music plays out of nowhere as Lucius is enveloped in a cocoon of bright purple tendrils.-

-...and when they fade, he's clad in a frilly, gothic-style, purple-grey dress, with a headband, hoop skirt, detached sleeves and ribbons galore. It'll probably be described in more detail later.-

-He also seems to be hovering about a foot off the ground on a cloud of purplish smoke, but that's neither here nor there.-

Lucius: ...Huh. That was... pretty cool, actually.

Me: -looking at Lucius- Lookin' cool, Lucius.

Hearthome City

-Pent chuckles a little-

I wouldn't of chalked you up for cat energy, but I get the joke you're going for.

-He looks around-

And here I am without a flashy new costume, drat...

Hearthome

Me: Maybe after we patch up this glitch shard, I can go to Ersatz Alliance and get some fabrics so I can make a costume for you, if you want.

Through the wall Baba Yaga's group goes... finding themselves on a set of semi-decayed stairs leading up. Jackal blinks, the pupils on his mask matching this, Hayon just tilts his head, ~Is this convenient?~

"No it makes sense they'd have a staircase. The tower is 40 stories so we just have 15 floors to go, whatever is on the roof needs investigating."

"Totally down for that, plus it's a good workout."

Jackal nodded, he tapped his earpiece, "Rogue, Yaga got us a staircase, we're headed to the top to investigate what's going on. Once you got life support working again, feel free to join us at the top or tear every part of that room to bits to see if you can find where Dr. Braun is stored, I have a guess as to where he is now but if you can hinder him in any wa-"

"He means get busy and go nuts, we're not running a stealth operation for this job. KICK ASS AND LOOK GOOD!" Fox responded.

Hayon laughed as Jackal grunted.

-everyone blinks-

Vee: <Okay.>

Pippy: <Okay.>

Megan: What?

-half a second later, without any repetition whatsoever- Oh, okay.

Abilene what the fuck is wrong with your family—okay no, weird assumption but every relative I've heard about sounds like a supervillain

Well, I'm giving SOMEONE a myelectomy, even if I have to earn a medical degree to get revoked

I think I just clipped through three stages of grief @v@

Vee: <Alright, so that's a fairly uniform "no" on the murder—>

Pippy: <—and it's happier subject time!>

Megan: I can't wait to meet your datemates! ^_^

Pippy: <Oh that's good to hear I like your arteries where they are and thank you so, so much for the help—And right now, hugs is what you will get!> ^v^

-hug- <I knew from the moment I saw you that you'd make a fantastic real-estate agent.> ~v~

Megan: -moving over to sling an arm companionably around Ever- ...it was admittedly a pretty nice, sparkly h—Brie hi!!

-and she turns, possibly inadvertently dragging both of the Hugged with her-

We got sucked into another dimension and didn't die! ^_^

Vee: -determinedly tilde-yawning- <—much~>

Pippy: <Oh, it's been too long—>

Megan: Oh, I've never watched that show! ^_^

Hi, Conroy! It's nice to meet you!

...I mean, it was a zone in which we adventured??

Saitama: <...oh hello, more humans.>

-glancing around- <...Pippy, why am I here?>

Pippy: <I assume to talk about Solune's science?>

Saitama: <...I'm a historian.>

Megan: Oh, I thought it might be a little weird if I talked about all the stuff "I" ""discovered""?

Saitama: -bemused- <No, go ahead, you paid better attention to all that than I did. I was too busy being surprised at other mons' history texts.>

Megan: Uh, okay!

So, keeping in mind that I'm just relaying the work and stuff of lots of someone elses—

-and she lights up-

Megan: —a whole planet of Aura-sensitive stone, all crystal spires and bar brawls—that's where I got this trident, it was the best source of Stardust^* You know, the collector's item, used as a dietary supplement by the Go project, apparently possessing an active isotope that can serve as high-capacity rapid-burn warp fuel anywhere—

Saitama: -chiming in- <From the unified records, a major thorn in everyone's sides, for days and days—>

Vee: <Your queen—>

Pippy: -nodding appreciatively at the nicely renovated, hopefully fireproofed kitchen- <Hey, Megan, aren't you forgetting one thing in particular?>

Megan: Oh!!! Oh, Silas—

Putting aside the ion drives and biosphere plasmas and mythical metals and, and things—

-and she grabs him by the shoulders- They

had

functional ALCUBIERRE DRIVES—!!!

-grinning so wide- And you'll never g u e s s what they ran on~!

Silas held up a hand, "Slow down there. Trust me I'm interested in hearing how the warp drives of another universe run, I spent a long time trying to figure out how the Foxverse's jump drives worked but really... I have something to say first."

Roxy watched as Silas looked a little uneasy, before a small frown formed on his face, he took a deep breath and said, "You were there for me, you helped my team find me when I got lost to Jay, you and I found a way to catch up on the previous events of the months we missed... It was thanks to you that I got my life back... you were there for me and my team, but then you got lost and... I wasn't there for you."

He let out a sigh and continued, his eyes looking away from Megan, "I couldn't find you... I barely looked, I did little to help you and all I knew was that you were gone and busy... That, that isn't really the mark of a good friend."

His eyes seemed a little watery, Roxy looking worried and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder, "I should've been there to help as you were there for me, you went through so much and I don't even know how you managed to keep it together, so... before we continue I want to say something important."

Tears were actually streaking down his cheeks, and Silas took a deep inhale, "If you ever... ever have a problem, just call me and I'll do my best to help, you were there for me and I want to be there for you. You're my friend... my best friend and I want to help you in any way I can. So please, if you ever have a issue and you think you need help. Just call me and I'll be over, I don't want to be someone who just takes and takes."

Roxy was full on hugging Silas now as a weak smile formed on his face, he looked over to Megan, "Seriously. Just ask... and please, tell me what you learned."

Stormchaser

Ever: You'll meet them, Megan, no worries.

-Ever is double-hugged, and slides gently across the floor as Megan yoinks them-

Brie: Megan! Oh gods, we were all so worried!

-she dives to hug Megan-

Ever: Because they docked your pay for losing someone in another universe, or— oof

Brie: -removing her fist from Ever's ribcage- I'm going to assume Ever's already grilled you on all the horrifying stuff—

Ever: —You know me so well—

Brie: —and just say I'm really glad you're alright! You are alright, right?

Brie: ...Your cousin's a sociopath, Ever.

Ever: Your cousin too, Brie.

Brie: ...I'm really glad to see you, Megan.

The Stormchaser

Astraea and Severa are sitting in one of the Stormchaser lounges, having a surprisingly amicable conversation.

Severa: "So, in summary, in your timeline, despite all of our best efforts most of the Shepherds died, entirely unrelated to how they died in our future, which lead to you trying to kill the fell dragon - that, y'know, wants to possess you, on your own, leading to you getting possessed."

Astraea: "... Yes."

Severa: "Gawds, that's awful. Also a really stupid decision"

Astraea looks down. "... Yes."

Severa: "Well, I can't keep calling you Robin because there's already to many of those, so..."

Astraea: "Astraea."

Severa: "... That works."

F!Robin walks past, glances over, keeps walking, does a double take, and rushes over.

Severa: "Oh. Hey mom."

F!Robin: "Why do you call me that."

Astraea turns to her. "A question: Why haven't you told

F!Robin: "It's been hectic and it's not an easy conversation to have."

Astraea: "Would you rather Lucina encounter me on her own first and then have rush over and stop her from killing me?"

F!Robin: "... I see your point, but I've been away from the Stormchaser for the past couple of weeks, and thus there's been little chance for anyone to see us in the same room."

Astraea pulls out her phone. "Just use one of these... long-range communication... things."

F!Robin: "This is not a conversation you have over text messages, Astraea."

Astraea: "Why not? It seems like the exact sort of thing one would write a letter about if one couldn't have that conversation in person."

F!Robin sighs. "Does it really?"

Astraea: "Better than leaving it unsaid!"

Hearthome

Luciana: "Great, let's, uh, go, I guess? Hopefully we'll attract the right sort of attention."

"... I can't believe I'm calling the glitch that wants to kill and/or assimilate us all the right sort of attention."

She starts walking down the street, looking for anything that might be a Glitch.

Orre, Tower

Skadi: "Up we go, then."

She starts cautiously ascending the stairs, being careful to ensure that even if she steps on a stair and it breaks she won't fall.

"There's like, nine of us right? How hard could it b- I really have to stop doing that!"

Stormchaser, Room 713

“So... 24, huh?” Lucario asked, seeing his trainer lie back on his bed, flipping through the channels while using his free hand to direct chips into his mouth. He didn’t seem to be watching the TV, evidenced by his headphones resting on his ears.

“Yeah,” Colton nodded, offering the bag to his shapeshifted Steel-type. He grabbed a few, also snatching the clicker from the Unovan. “It’s not much different from 23, save for last year also being on a Friday the 13th,” he chuckled. “Some part of me was kind of hoping it would amount to more.”

“What, and Ammy finding a boyfriend doesn’t count?” Lucario fired back, to which his trainer couldn’t form a retort.

<Also there was Pent more or less assigning you to make an updated Prax Obscura,> Rei interjected from the backpack on its hook before she let herself out of it via Pokeball flash. <Had to wait for two months before you started earning your money back.>

“True, but it allowed me to refine my abilities to such an incredible extent, I never handed Lucario my bag of chips,” he remarked, as he pointed at Lucario and watched the bag fade away, revealing that he had the bag of chips on his opposite side the entire time, but never ate from it.

Lucario couldn’t be mad.

Orre Tower Stairwell

Lamb began to ascend the stairs, keeping a lookout for anything potentially dangerous.

-Lucius smiles at Ian.-

Lucius: Thanks, Ian. You're looking pretty snazzy yourself. Honestly, I have no idea what we signed away in those contracts, but I'd say these outfits are totally worth it. Anyway, let's get moving!

-He hovers after Luciana.-

Orre, Factory Tower, Level 25

-Gaia glances over at Spectre and Jackal.-

Gaia: Actually, I think Phantom has the right idea. We may need to conserve our energy for whatever awaits us above. Therefore...

-She activates up her Grapnel Gear and starts hookshoting her way up the stairwell.-

Stormchaser, Room 713

-Colton may hear a knock on his door.-

Stormchaser, Room 713

"<It’s unlocked!>" Colton, Lucario and Rei chorused.

Stormchaser, Room 713

???: Really? Man, turns out the best thing I could've gotcha was an appreciation for privacy.

-The door is shouldered open and a white-haired girl steps in, carrying a mid-size box in both arms.-

Lissa: Anyway, mornin', nerd. Got a present for you.

-She drops it on the floor.-
