"Aren't you human?" Lee asked, still not upright. He hummed a second later. "Well I suppose not every humans needs to be battle-addicts, but still."

Akari would disagree. In fact, Rei had sought Fake out just so her pikachu wouldn't destroy Bonfire or anything like that. Wait, shouldn't I go and help now? He hopped forward and tried to steady Lee to no success. His aura flickered, now whitish pink as he panicked. Yeah, I need to evolve. Like, ASAP.

"Hm?" Lee glanced at Akari, and seeing him try and fail to right Lee, a thought came to him.

He started spinning.

"Is something the matter?" he asked Akari.

[[OOC : Uh...I meant Fake tried, not Akari, sorry!]]
He started spinning.

"Is something the matter?" he asked Akari Fake.
Yes, the fact you're spinning very casually and still not carsick. Fake sarcastically thought. Oh yeah, and isn't that obvious? Just spin. Wow. Pure genius. He was happy that he hadn't condemned anyone to hover upside down forever though.
 
Power limitation wasn't mentioned in the preamble. But, funny thing about that. Admon wasn't drawn to the nexus. He, in fact, simply walked in - the power to manipulate dimensions and all that. This means absolutely nothing in practice except flavor, since he can't/won't affect anyone permanently and whatever power can manifest against him won't do much.

For the record though, Shini and I set this up for some exposition, since they're the type of characters who weren't going to share normally, and this was supposed to be fun. Though she left, so we move on from it. Sorry if it was distracting. Though admittedly that reaction almost distressed/worried me into peacing out...needed to think on it a bit.

Admon sighed and shook his head. He appeared about to say something, but remained in solemn silence. There was a flicker as something very similar that he used to enter flashed, but he appeared to think better of it and it faded. He wore a frown of pity.

"Well." He started, pausing to consider. "Hm. Out of curiosity, I would have the opinion of you all. In fact, let's make it formal."

Truth: Do you fear a loss of identity, in the sense that through your experiences, you may become something you are not or even something you hate?

In his mind's eye, Andre saw a madman slaughtering the innocent.

I will never become like that. I cannot become like that.

Not really...? I mean, Rei lost his identity, but he still acts perfectly humane. Still, though, that question was disturbing. It was clear he wasn't the only one disturbed, Andre was experiencing something like that. Suddenly, a deep insight revealed itself to Fake : What if Rei hadn't been humane when he had his identity? Was a transformation like this possible?

"Not at all!" Lillia replied. "I am me, and there's no one else like me out there, and there - sadly - never will be!" She spun in a circle, not quite chasing her tail but not quite not doing that, either. "I mean, I bet I could have a lot of fun with myself if there were two of me!"



[ooc: fwiw, System Error, I think you and Shini were fine. It's okay to set up a scene and play it out, since the goal is to play with your characters here, but I also don't think we want to drown the game thread too much, either, which is why the General RP thread was brought up; so long as you're continuing to do the ToD game, you're fine to stick around here.]

"Much as I'd like to believe that everything must come to an end eventually and such concepts should only make their home in the hypothetical, how strong a will must one have to possess withstand that erosion?"

Mhynt smiled, tilting her head in thought.

"Sometimes will isn't enough. Just as death claims everyone, the void claims what's left afterward. The ferocious monsters that exist--all former people themselves, mind you--can overpower any 'will.' You need the blessings of the gods to survive longer." Mhynt sighed. "I lost my battle in trying to change that reality. But... someone else I know is still fighting."

Flickers of light came into being, coalescing slowly and quietly as a being appeared in the midst. Her long, brown hair swayed behind her and her casual clothes billowed in the winds. For a moment, it looked as if Alluhmieh had come back but upon closer inspection, the being looked a lot more relaxed and peaceful than her predecessor, the being hovered for a moment, the lights dimming before she was suddenly unceremoniously dropped onto the ground and into a pile of snow.

The girl awoke with a yelp, shivering and rubbing her arms in an attempt to stave off the cold. Where was she? What was going on? Why was she freezing in the snow? She was in bed just a moment ago, how did she–

Crude. He had something with this, she was sure of it. He had done something similar to this a few weeks ago and during that time, she had to–

No... Nonono... She glanced around, hoping that she was wrong.

Tea party.

People around talking to each other.

The more she looked, the more her nerves grew and she came to the horrific conclusion...

She was in a social setting!!!

Quickly, she looked above, sighing in relief when she noticed the lack of a large glowing arrow pointing down at her. Taking in several deep breaths, she pushed the anxiety creeping into her mind as she took a step forward, hearing people speaking to some kind of 'truth' thing.

Wha– Her mind was suddenly bombarded by the feeling of... knowing? Of this place's setting?

Truth: What was the most embarrassing thing you've ever witnessed?

Truths and dares sprung into her mind and she struggled to keep track of them. She covered her head, almost yelling, "Ah, I once saw Dell talking to a mirror, he was flirting and flexing at his reflection before realising it was himself. It was the funniest and cutest thing I've ever seen and... oh crud, I was supposed to keep that a secret... frick..."

Fake's sleepiness instantly went away as he watched the newcomer. He backed away before deciding that was rude and stepped forward again. Is she okay? Actually you know what, let's see if my newfound aura powers can let me communicate.

______________________-_____-_________________----______-_-__-_-_----____________----__-----_____-__---_-_-
Nope. Oh well. He could deal with all this later. For now, he tunneled down to sleep and only a gilded sprout revealed his presence.

Alioth hummed. "Fighting a battle to change reality. I've heard many describe their personal journeys as a struggle against fate. But this sounds rather more literal."

He'd just finished pouring out the last of the coffee, setting the steaming cups up in a circle on a tree stump. At once, the wind shifted, sending the trails of steam drifting... oddly, away from the center of the crossroads. In all directions at once.

"Seems this crossing might be coming to a close soon," the Typhlosion said cheerfully. "I hope that whatever you've learned about the walks of life from other worlds has been illuminating."

There was probably some time for farewells, at least.

Andre turned to the typhlosion. "Ah, I see. Thank you for hosting us, Mr. Typhlosion. It has been a pleasure."

NEO lands and walks over to the Typhlosion. "Thanks, uh... Typlosion, right?" the Charizard asks. "...sorry, I haven't seen many Pokémon from your region. So far, the only Pokémon from whatever region you're from that I've seen is Chikorita and Bayleef. After we saved a Chikorita from some Pokémon hunters in Alola, she healed, evolved into a Bayleef, and decided to work at a Pokémon Center there," he explains, gesturing to his blind eye.

Lee stopped his spinning, yes he still was until now, and set himself on the ground. He swayed very, very faintly from side to side, and his eyes sort of awkwardly swirled in circles, but he didn't show any other obvious signs of being dizzy.

"So then this little game is coming to a close?" Lee hummed. "It is almost a shame to watch it end, but it was... interesting, to say the least. Beings of other worlds never fail to entertain."
 
If you want a character to help with a postscript/epilogue, just say the word. :) Or if anyone wants to continue for a short bit after in the RP topic.

"This was but a temporary nexus," remarked Admon. Little surprise that one so versed in dimensions could assess that. "A crossroads as fleeting as life itself. Now that its purpose seems to be fulfilled, there is little need for it to exist. Of course, life is cyclical. As one leaves, another appears. Perhaps it will reappear in some other time or place. Perhaps that birth will be how some of you will remember these meetings. But for now, the clock is set on most of your return home." He eyed Alioth with a nod as he says 'most'.
