Illusion HQ, last night
Yeah, he's really sweet.
-she nods, reaching over to pat Clockwise's beak-
Mmhmm. We just finished the gym challenge here recently. We actually met Alyssa just after defeating Wulfric.
-Clockwise puffs out his breast to proudly display the badges-
Clockwise: <These are silly's pancakes!> ^_^
That reminds me; I never did get you your pancakes.
Clockwise: <I hate pancakes.>
-Crewe rolls her eyes-
How about mac and cheese?
Clockwise: <I like cheese!> ^_^
-Crewe offers him her bowl for inspection. He eyes it, then grabs a few noodles in his beak-
Victory! Honor! Destiny! Mutton!Lumiose
-Lina is holding her Alakazite in one hand, inspecting it and the Key Stone in her ring.-
-A man approaches her-
Man: Excuse me... Is that an Alakazite?
Lina: Uh... Yeah, why?
Man: Oh! That's one I desperately need!
-Holds out another stone-
I'll trade you a Blazikenite for it!
Lina: Hrm...
-Holds her Key Stone up to the Blazikenite. It resonates slightly. -
Seems real. Though if it's not I'll hunt you down.
-They swap. The man leaves, while Lina inspects the Blazikenite, open to interaction-
Contact Me!This Gym looks... pretty impressive.
Aaron: <You want to climb it, don't you?>

Lina: The show, eh? what does she think of me?
-Stellaluna perches on Lina's head-

-Ramos flips through a book that might be a photo album.-
Ramos: Heh, those were the days... Agatha, Wulfric, Pryce... Those were fun days.
-The elderly man becomes aware of someone approaching, and puts the album away.-

Darien: Heh, sounds like me and Dynames. Only Dynames then discovered the internet. That was an interesting phase.
Coumarine
(Alex is here. He's cradling his Sneasel egg like a baby.)
(More disturbing is the fact that Lösning's out. Admittedly, Svavel is walking him by a leash, and the leash in question connects to a muzzle with a series of movement-restricting leather bands extending from it all over his body... but still. He's out.)
Tastes better on the way back down.

-Mezzo is asleep-
Dream Yaksha
-and finds herself in Andante's presence once again-
Andante: -playing her harp- I hate to say I told you so, but... wait, no I don't. I told you so.
Mezzo: Yeah, so what? One crazy guy attacking me doesn't mean much.
Andante: Doesn't mean much, she says. If that's so, why didn't you kill him?
Mezzo: What? Why would I?
Andante: Because an enemy that you spare lives to fight you again, of course. Really, what's wrong with you? I'd expect any good Warrior, but especially a Dark one, to be okay with chopping off a few heads or something.
Mezzo: These are different times. We don't do that anymore.
Andante: That's what they all say. Also, you still haven't killed your... -coughs- boyfriend.
Mezzo: You really think I'm gonna kill the boy I love because of some ancestral pact?
Andante: Maybe. But I think if you don't, he'll do it first.
Mezzo: He would never!
Andante: Yeah, you just keep thinking that.
Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.
