Pietro wolfs down the rest of his apple and disposes of the core, pointedly ignoring Alderoth's remark about his lack of magical skill in comparison to Wanda. Once the latter explains why the prime Alderoth agreed to the merge, he merely nods solemnly.
"Yeah... when you put it like that, I get why he went with the fusion. Let's just hope there weren't any side effects."
"You are going to have to be more specific with that."
And Alderoth kept it at that, his hands clasped together as he observed Pietro, noting the speedster ignoring his invitation to be taught magic with a degree of distaste that he saw no use in concealing.
All that potential, and you only use it to create replicas and enhance your powers. What a waste.
Creator of the Avatar Arena and its Discord server.! Lemonade, please!
"Do you have any seawater de-geso?"
Ami just listens patiently to most everyone, but she seems heartbroken at Morgan's situation.
:(
Then Refia says she can magic it and everything is better!!
"Aha!" I can help I think! My magic can heal people!
"... A tall order. ... But not impossible. I can look into this matter."
"Of course, those who perish in this realm have a great chance of returning from death on their own. But I presume that is not what you seek."
Earth-6
"..."
An e-mail? Most curious.
...
Cyrus warps himself to the marked location in Intrigue.
/\。。/\"You know, like instability or unexpected changes in personality. I'd really hate it if the Alderoth I knew suddenly went from a nice guy to the exact opposite, and so would Wanda," Pietro replies.
Grabbing two pieces of bread, he tosses one to Alderoth before biting into the other.

Alderoth chuckled, taking the piece of bread and turning it over in his hands as if it were a particularly interesting artifact, before taking a bite out of it.
"Personality changes? I'm fairly certain you can see them right now... although the instability would be better handled. My mind is a labyrinth. I know how to compartmentalise traumas and other experiences."
He paused, looking Pietro over.
"And I prefer my mindscape that way. Organised and orderly."
Creator of the Avatar Arena and its Discord server."Indeed," confirmed the Summoner with a smile and a nod, "good eyes."
He inclined his head to the side, looking at Pietro and appearing to be musing to himself as he did.
"Speaking of... anything new I ought to know? I am wondering how the others are doing, as well as matters I would be able to help with, since I might as well."
Creator of the Avatar Arena and its Discord server."I was told the basic gist, but not the full details. I have been absent for a while."
Alderoth glanced about the area, tapping his fingers against the table once more.
"And, yes, I do remember Ninten, don't worry. What I do need to know are the details."
Creator of the Avatar Arena and its Discord server."Okay, so Magicant's been really unstable lately. As in, going there probably wouldn't be a good idea. Wanda and Ninten have been trying to figure out why this is happening, and how to fix it before Magicant ends up completely destroyed," Pietro explains. "Ninten would be able to go into detail better than I ever could, but that's the basic situation."
He raises an eyebrow when Alderoth takes a look around, but decides not to question him about the gesture.
New Stracciatella Stadium, Intrigue
Cyrus will arrive to a huge, roofed stadium.
Inside of it, he will find a circular arena, surrounded entirely by screens, with people cheering to the Vanilla Gang, who are performing over the stage.
(The arena is exactly as shown at the image and the video, but bigger, with enough space to keep a fight between two Wailord without problems.)
After ending the song, Painty greets Cyrus: Ah, welcome to the New Stracciatella Stadium! Are you ready to battle?
The Gang members left the stage, except Milky, who gonna be the referee... And VG!Cyrus, who is looking at the opponent gladly.
Candy: Hey, Cyrus! Get over here!
VG!Cyrus: Eh? I'm coming!
Three freaking ghosts!Luin said no words yet nodded, leading the way with a certain unease with turning her back to the odd man who, in a curious whiplash of mood, had oddly and profanely exclaimed as some sort of follow-up to his earlier death threat.
Oh well…You can’t expect them all to be sane. The Rider thought, still getting used to this new area where, for whatever reason, sticks glowed and bags had legs.
She hopped up onto Tailwind’s back, clicking her stirrups twice, and the creature began moving into the cave.
Due to living in the lower, darker areas of forests such as the Ancient Forest back home, the monster had developed a capability to see fairly well in low-light environments like these, meaning the monster was able to navigate the rather simplistic and straightforward cave considerably well.
With great power…you know the rest.Milky, the referee, answers to Cyrus:
It's going to be a 6 vs. 6 battle. No items allowed, unless those are equipped. Swaps will be allowed, with a cooldown of 1 minute per Trainer (unless the swaps are the result of a Pokémon movement, in which case they will be allowed anytime). If there is not another question, you can start.
One minute = 3 RP turns)

Three freaking ghosts!"Here you go," Victor said, passing out some drinks. "Yep to both — just need a sec to special order the sea-water."
He dug out a few things of fruit juice for Morgan, with a bit of variety to them. "Any specific preference?"
At the same time, he punched another sequence into his wrist-pad, held out his hand, and grabbed a thermos of seawater as it was transmatted out of the heavens.
"Ooh, magic?"
Victor leaned in, highly intrigued.
"The Stick has sentimental value. It's like an enormous, hideous teddy bear we can kill things with." -rikalousPainty, holding one of her custom Pokéballs (is just a normal one, but decorated with paint drips) answers:
No problem. Bring everything you have.
If both of you are ready, we will be about to start our main game. In the red corner, from Sinnoh, the leader of the Team Galaxy: Cyrus!
And in the blue corner, from the Dream World, the Guardian of the Keys: Painty!
Start!
Go, Smeargle!
The Pokémon gets out from its Pokéball, twirling its tail-brush menacingly.
Three freaking ghosts!Hub Centralis
With a slight frown, Josie responds with "Well, if you do want one, then just let me know and I'll be happy to share."
The frown only increases in size as she hears Morgan's description of herself. "W-well... I don't know much at all about demimosquitos, but I have faith in Refia being able to help you! She's pretty nice, after all."
Then, cracking open a cold one, the demikraken takes a sip of her drink, enjoying it while she grabs a sandwich from the basket to munch on.
Something something Arena.Start!
Painty thinks a moment.
Smeargle, sing!
It starts to sing... As a dog would do. Anyways, if succeed, Aerodactyl will fall asleep, open for other attacks.
And for many of the assistants to the battle, they fall asleep.

Three freaking ghosts!Morgan acquires orange juice. She and Refia, sitting next to each other, share a nervous glance, while N directs such a glance of his own at Max.
"Right, so just... take a deep breath... and hold still." Refia puts a hand on Morgan's shoulder. Red light glows around them both, but after a moment, it turns a malevolent-looking black and Refia winces, that same blackness creeping into her eyes. "Ami... lend a hand... please? Quickly?"
The Iron Maiden, appearing utterly disinterested, looks back at Josie. "... On second thought, what is in those sandwiches?"
"Of course not. I refer to my dead world, and its people. They roam the lands of Hel, lost without even death to rule them. I seek their salvation."
Líf leans harder than he already was. "I'll take your deal, then."
Marth's sword's glow serves as a convenient tool for lighting the way for him.
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."!!!
Ami lends a metaphorical hand! By which I mean she puts a hand on Morgan and Refia, and discharges a lot of healing love magic. Whee! It's pink!
Ika watches in 'o', and waits patiently for her salty water. ... Well, a little bit super impatiently, but she's not complaining out loud.
Monster's grin widens.
"In that case, welcome to the community, friend Líf. I'm certain you'll be a fine member. Would you like me to show you the way?"
Aerodactyl falls asleep, dead in the air, when Smeargle's song reaches it.
"..."
"... Illumatrix
, stand by for battle."
"..."
Illumatrix's Illuminate raised its Accuracy!
"Hypnosis."
The mysterious golden bird swoops forwards, its eye shining as it pulses with a distracting light. 60% + 1 stage accuracy (79.8%)
/\。。/\As the trio grew deeper into the depths of the cavern, a light could be seen at the every end of the tunnel. It grew brighter, and brighter as they grew nearer yet, until…
"Watch out!" Luin hollered, Tailwind entering a combat position as she leapt off the monster, drawing her bow and sloppily nocking an arrow.
The beast that approached them was theropodian in stance, with milky white soft scales and a chicken-like appearance, an orange plumage growing from its beaked head and forearms, which ended in webbed fingers. The creature had a tail ending in black scales, and opened its mouth, giving a startled shriek. In its hands was an egg with a curious design.
"It’s…A Kulu Ya-Ku?" Luin tilted her head in confusion, relaxing her posture some.
With great power…you know the rest.

Max sits in silence and take it all in, her eyes managing to widen every time someone bring up their inhuman nature or not.
She silently mouths a "what the fuck" and then coughs.
There's not much I can do to help but... huh... here. Max pull out a bottle of fresh water and give it to Morgan.
