Tori: -3-

-She chuckles at the grandpa squee-

"I'm totally recording that reaction for later"

Lumiose

<Call me Pichu the First,> The older one acknowledged as he got off of his brother, who promptly leaped up and dusted himself off.

<I’m Pichu the Second!> He announced to Kat.

<And it’s nice to meet you, but - >

<So, how has your day been?> Pichu the Second asked, much to the elder Pichu’s chagrin. He merely grit his teeth and said nothing, for fear of being attacked by something much bigger than him.

“We’ve found these chumps!” Colt announced into his jacket as he leaped off Xatu and put on his scarf, landing with Rock Climb as the rest of his team landed.

Rei used Fake Out.

Talbain used Rock Tomb.

Sunny used Psychic Terrain.

Xatu used Ominous Wind.

Amaterasu used Fire Blast, summoning Drought with her presence.

Roy used Blaze Kick.

Pyukumuku used Reflect.

Pleth: <We've...gotten to the heart of the issue. We're not so sure about where to go from there, but...it's a start.>

Ever: -hums- Congrats on understanding Pokemon now, though.

-Kai grins as Rod shakes on the deal-

Kai: And so, one deal is sealed~ I still need to file the paperwork, though, so I must ask you to sign this as well, both of you, and we can seal the second one that way 💜

-She finishes writing up the second contract, and lays both on the table for him and Logan.-

-Rod very, very hesitantly signs the contract-

-Ominous chanting and dim lighting accompanies him-

-He turns around. It's just the Rabbids and one of Laura's gadgets-

-Shaun and Jessica sit on a couch, watching t.v. while eating out of seperate bowls of popcorn.-

-Probably because Jessica's bowl is also full of [M&Ms] and [Tabasco] sauce.-

Shaun: "Why are we still watching this?"

Jessica: "Why not?"

Shaun: "Fair enough."

-He settles into a more comfortable position.-

Shaun: "It's so inaccurate it hurts. And I wasn't even there for most of it."

Jessica: "Creative liberties, man. Like, Jacob's cool. And Nico's not a dick."

Shaun: "We're just gonna gloss over Witch!Mezzo?"

-He doesn't seem to realize what he said or how he somehow said it.-

Jessica: "Do you have proof she's not a witch?"

Shaun: "...no."

Ace: <I hate to interrupt->

Shaun: "LIES"

Ace: <-but shouldn't you two be doing something more productive than watching t.v.?>

Jessica: "We're allowed to take breaks, Ace."

Ace: <YOU TWO HAVE BEEN ON THAT COUCH ALL DAY>

Shaun: "False! We made food."

Ace: <You just had Beowulf teleport the couch into the kitchen.>

-Jessica snickers.-

Jessica: "Yeah, that was good."

-Ace sighs and leaves.-

-Elizabeth leans against Christina, lazily watching Lyra play [Mass Effect 3].-

Lyra: <Lizzy, could you levitate yourself?>

Elizabeth: "Lyra, I can barely levitate a teapot. Why?"

-Lyra glances at the t.v.-

Elizabeth: "Lyra, no."

-The Kadabra looks at Liz.-

Elizabeth: "Lyra I swear to Solgaleo-"

Elizabeth: "GET OFF THE ROOF"

Lyra: <THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT>

Elizabeth: "THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT AND YOU KNOW IT"

Lyra: <I'm gonna jump!>

Olivia: <DO A FLIP>

Elizabeth: "LYRA ROSEHEART"

Lyra: <THAT'S NOT MY LAST NAME>

Elizabeth: "I WILL THROW OBERON AT YOU"

Oberon: <Wait->

Lyra: <DO IT, COWARD>

<YOU'RE NOT MY REAL MOM>

Elizabeth: "GET DOWN"

Lyra: <PASS ME THE AUX CORD, THEN>

Elizabeth: "LYRA"

Lyra: <WHAT?>

Elizabeth: "BITCH"

We'll be right back

Ersatz alliance

-takes off scarf-

Lila: - walks up to the counter-

Sorry to butt in, but what happened to the other shopkeeper? I think his name was Bartleby or something?

Elizabeth: "I'M NOT GONNA SAY IT AGAIN"

Lyra: <DON'T, THEN>

Elizabeth: "FIGHT ME"

Lyra: <DON'T FUCK WITH ME, LIZ! I HAVE THE POWER OF ARCEUS AND ANIME ON MY SIDE>

~I'm getting the shotgun~

Lyra: <Okay, okay.>

-She holds her arms out, and a pink glow envelops her body. She jumps and floats down to the ground.-

Lyra: <Fuckin' nice.>

-She teleports away from Elizabeth's hand.-

Elizabeth: "Get back here so I can slap you."

Lyra: <Or I could just...not.>

Olivia: <Lizbeth, scare her. Then she'll teleport closer to you.>

Lyra: <See, now that - that was a low blow.>

~Would you four grow up and come back inside? Not only have you woken half the city, but they're all staring at you.~

~Maybe Lizzy should get dressed. That's why they're staring.~

-Elizabeth looks down and blushes furiously when she realizes she's only wearing underwear and a nightgown that barely covers her butt.-

~Okay so I'm about to murder Lyra so, just, somebody start digging her grave.~

Mistress Tsukida, let them stare! You are a fine example of the human female! Bask in their admiration and jealousy!

~Oberon THAT DOESN'T HELP~

-The door of the Standardized Sitcom Housing crashes open as a vaugely-Charizard figure falls in, collapsing on the floor in exhaustion-

Bonfire: HONEY! I'M HOME!

-Noir, meanwhile, is sitting on the lounge chair with a bunch of empty cans of Void Ale and a pile of cookies looking vacantly and half-heartedly at whatever nonsense was playing on the telly at this very moment-

   Noir   : -shoving a whole lot of cookies into her mouth-    Ah huah   

Bonfire: Hoy, I'm exhausted... I've been burning out the midnight crunch oil at both ends to get that interplanetary expansion off the ground... I tried to reach out to some business partners on the Moon but I think I accidentally became the boss of a protection racket again... what can I say, you know we're the best at being bad~

-she pauses-

...when was I last home again? It feels like months...

   Noir   : -cracking open another cold one, but there are no boys in sight-    It was months, 5 to be precise.   

Bonfire: -face falls- Oh...

-slumps onto the couch, grasping her muzzle in her claws- I was wondering why it felt like I was never seeing you anymore.

   Noir   : -stuffing more cookies into her mouth with a grunt-    Oh. So you only realised that now, eh?   

Bonfire: -defensively- Hey, running a global-and-beyond cookie empire takes a lot of attention! Like any other evil plot!

...sorry, I haven't been checking in lately, what devilish schemes have you had on your plate lately?

- Noir shrugs as she takes a swig of her ale-

   Noir   :    Nothin' much, yannow. Shit's not as fun when you gotta do all the skullduggery by yourself.   

-she stuffs another cookie into her gob-

   Noir   :    So I've just been, I don't know, knockin' about here. Went down to the shops, got some eldritch instant noodles. Pretty damn good as either an uncooked snack or boiled with the flavor packets, but since I had to pay for those and cookies are free - why bother? I mean, why h*ckin' bother with anything these days? Nothing matters. It's all an illusion. There is nothing out there worth striving for or deriving enjoyment out of.   

-Noir downs the rest of her ale-

Bonfire: 8U

If you ever need a minion you can just call me! The cookie scheme isn't anything that special, it's just ordinary capitalism! I haven't even had one proper hero try to stop me yet... But what we have is special!

-she belches an emotional bout of flame, not meaningfully harming Noir but setting the lounge chair on fire, making more of a dramatic demonic throne out of it-

-Noir huffs, not particularly bothered by the flames, as she crosses her arms and pouts at Bonfire-

   Noir   :    If it was so special then why did only just realise now that you hadn't been here for 5 entire months"?   

-Noir unfolds her arm and leans on her right palm, still pouting-

'   Noir   :    Makes me feel like I'm more... forgettable than anything...   

Bonfire: -flails- I thought you were just busy too! I had no sense of time even before I started having to worry about space and relativity!

Who could forget that time you dropped the moon on the Orange Islands?! Or that time in Kalos when you weremon'd like half the J-Team?

Or when we revived that Cain from death and you made him a were-poodle you marvelous madwoman?

I'm allowed to have a life but you not having one anymore is a crime!

-Noir turns to Bonfire, red tears of tar streaming down her face and lips quibbling at her words-

   Noir   :    You really mean that, Bonnie old pal?   

Bonfire: -her own tears welling up- I do!

-she holds her arms & wings open-

-Noir lunges forward and gives Bonfire a big ol' hug-

   Noir   :    Oh Bonfire! I missed you so much! Horribly, Terribly So! And usually I associate those words with good things   

Bonfire: -sniffs- I've missed you so too...

-she abruptly stands up tall and makes a fist-

We should do something! Together! The cookie magnate life is boring and droll, and the world has been without our mischief for far too long!

-A more familiar devilish grin spreads across Noir's face as she stands up boldly, the tendrils on her back unfurling and the smaller mass that consist of her hair thrashing wildly about-

   Noir   :    Well Bonnie my breadslice homeslice dawg, I was just thinking about that little, sad rich girl we '"helped" a few years back by reviving her dead love interest and turning him into a WereFurfrou. You remember them? They had some pretty amusing second bananas with the Delphox and funny lookin' Blaziken that bribed me with grog to bring back their Gallade friend free of charge~   

Bonfire: -taps a claw against her snout in remembrance- Ah, yes, good times, good times... Do ya think they worked out the cure for his condition by now?

-Noir pokes Bonfire in the cheek with a very long, sharp nail. A playful Cat Smile on her face as she does so-

   Noir   :    Duh! Of course I do! Only an idiot wouldn't have figured it out by now! And that girl, while stubborn as a geriatric Mudbray, has a good head on her shoulders (even though the boy she likes is a bit of a dolt and their dynamic is only slightly painfully straight). So if they've haven't figured it out yet; they're either so stubborn to admit anything or really are just that far in denial, and either way I'd have made a sore misjudgement of character. Which I never do!   

Bonfire: -swipes her claws at Noir playfully, being held at arm's length- Soooo, you're saying that they've had their Happily Long Enough by now, and it's time for a new episode of trouble~?

-Noir recoils her arms and places both hands on her hips, smiling triumphantly as she does so-

   Noir   :    That is exactly what I'm saying Bonnie old pal! After 5 months of being absent, you still know me all too well~   

-Bonfire sweeps Bonfire off her feet... tentacles... things... and into her scrawny Charizard arms-

Bonfire: OFF TO ADVENTURE!

   Noir   :    HELL YEAH, BAYBEY!   

-Bonfire stretches her wings, which take on a Megazard Y appearance, and takes flight, crashing a hole through the roof. Noir chuckles as the pair blip through one of the many cookie portals littering Dashedreams City-

Agrabah

Like the others, the Dewgong and Drapion quickly fall to the combination of attacks. Like the Krokorok, they turn into goo after fainting and get sent back to the ship.

Unlike that, however, the Hyper Voice shakes something loose and right after the goo heads through the path, a rock slide happens, blocking the obvious path forward.

There still seem to be a few ways to progress further into the cave, but it's unsure what leads where.

-Helios's Bug Buzz knocks out Tartarus.-

Kai: Ooh, well played, not sending out your last yet. Good call.

-She sends out Barako. The Roserade opens his arms dramatically, surrounded by rose petals glittering in the Sunny Day's light.-

Barako: <Ahh, my moment in the sun has finally arrived! It is time to engage in a marvelous spectacle worthy of the mightiest of heroes!>

Kai: I wouldn't call myself that, Bar, but the spirit's appreciated. Venoshock!

-Barako poses, and a burst of toxic fluid shoots out of his flowerhand at Helios-

-Corrin shakes her head-

Corrin: I have not had Yato since I arrived. I'm sorry to say.

Soleil: Hopefully! Unless there's some sort of "one version of someone only" rule or whatever. I dunno how this whole universe thing works.

-She returns to birbness.-

 Battle Base, past 

Here I thought she'd set MGMT on me.

Helios: -Is brought down to the red-

Then let's have Helios go out with a bang.

-Starts a Z-Move where I move my arms like growing flames before having my left arm clutch my outstretched right arm at the elbow-

Helios: -Sends a massive fireball at Barako-

-The Skiddo Watches^o    HE WATCHES    -

Deziree: What is your deal...?

-The Skiddo's head snaps to the left, his eyes burning with primordial ire.-

-Deziree follows his gaze, and on a nearby screen, a picture of one of the Calamity Fragments - Deziree forgot their names on a regular basis - was displayed, and appeared to be the source of anger. ^o    HE WATCHES    -

Deziree: ... Oooooh. You don't eat Glitches like the other Jaegers. You find them.

-The Skiddo's gaze turns from the computer when the image cycles to a family photo.-

Deziree: You're like an overwatcher. Overlord? You know what, we'll just call you Overgoat.

-The Skiddo nods, which sends a shiver down Deziree's spine.^o    GOAT OVER GOAT    -

Channah: Okay. Poffins it is. -starts to walk to Mauville-

-collective groan-

-As Tagg and Helios prepare their Z-Move, Kai smiles.-

Kai: Protect.

-Barako crosses his arms in front of him, and a barrier forms.-

-And the Z-Move is executed. The flames wash over the field, battering against the Protect barrier. The rose petals around him are immediately incinerated. The barrier cracks under the pressure.-

-And the tail end of the attack breaks through.-

-What would have been massive damage, thankfully, is reduced to a fraction of what it would have been, leaving Barako lightly toasted but standing strong.-

Kai: Turns out Protect can only do so much. Who knew?

-the baker answers with her tray like always-

Bakery Owner: -at the group- Oh hello!

Megan: -bows slightly- Hello, miss. We have a delivery for you.

Bakery Owner: -frowns, mock-sternly- Well I'm gonna need the passcode, bub.

Megan: -smiles, then says [Schrödinger's Passcode, which somehow resolved into a different, correct passcode upon being stated]-

-the baker's face returns to a smile, and Megan hands over the package (which she makes sure is the actual package and not another unopened Present box)-

Bakery Owner: Thank ye, dearie. Now just hold on just one moment.

-she goes back inside, and returns with some bread and a basket of pastries, made with some fruit Megan doesn't recognize-

Bakery Owner: -handing Megan the basket- Now, [person] down on [street]'s wanted some of these for a while, so run along down to 'em.

-handing them the bread, smiling- This is just for the road.

Megan: Thank you very much!

Bakery Owner: Safe travels! And kick those thieves' arses.

-Megan drops the basket into another empty Present box as they leave, munching on her bread-

Main Quest: Dialga's Boot

Megan: -munching- You know, this might not be too bad after all.

Main Quest: Dialga's Boot

Supervillain?: —and THEN, when I get my hands on that fancy energy product, I can RESELL it to DESPERATE COLLEGE STUDENTS and make a FORTUNE!

Logan: -to Ever- I did! Is this how you and Lila learned?

-unusually starry-eyed- I'm amazed at the...the potential for this! It's so much easier to communicate when you know the language...

-and when they're called they nod at Ever and go over and thank Kai and read the contract, before signing it-

-there's an ominous crack of Thunder behind them as they do so-

Logan: -turns around-

You're shopping too?
