Nori quietly follows along into the garden. Another one. Maybe gardens were like, Meloetta's thing. At least in this world. Still, there's little time to think about the sights, because the one they've met is right here. He gasps softly. There could be any number of reasons the Charcadet could...

Nori frowns deeply and lowers his head. "They said they left after failing to stop a big fight. I wish they could've been more specific," he laments. Maybe, hopefully, they just walked away to take a breather. It was possible that Meloetta themself wasn't corrupted. But then, why sit back and...

Nori pinches his lips. So the experienced ones also don't know. That doesn't help. And trying to solve a problem you know nothing about sounded counterintuitive. But it seemed like someone was trying instead of sitting around and debating. "You said your son is looking into it?" he asks the...

No surprise there. The kid's way below average height for his age. That's what a low-income diet can do to a kid. But he's a bit taller than the last time, and it's only been a couple of weeks since then! Nori looks behind himself to see if the men are following. Whether they are or not, he...

No use hesitating, Nori figures. He starts heading for the center of the town, with the Demon close at his side. Why would this place be so badly infected? It had to be deliberate. There was a good chance something was here. If not a culprit, then a clue. There just had to be! Right? He lowers...

"Longer than I thought," the boy muses aloud. Had Meloetta been gone for that long? Still, that was some good information to continue their investigation. He bows gently at them. "We'll look into it. Thank you for your time." With this information gleaned, he approaches the men. He quietly...

Nori puts a finger on his nose. It was worth an ask, but it was really more of a simple question to start out with. He never expected an answer. But it did tell him one piece of information: these crystals only formed recently. There were similar ones in Keldeo's realm. Were they a sign of the...

Wordcount this week: 1200, 72, 250, 268, 560, 805, 1318. Lots of edits to the new fic. I've gotten down a new technique for it: it's all in one document, so what I've been doing is going over a bit, going over it again and the next bit the next day, going over said next bit and the bit after...

An amusing thought occurs: if only Nori had brought his own suit. Then they would all be wearing one! But well, it wasn't something he wore often. His first thought when he saw the portal wasn't exactly change from his pajamas, and it certainly wasn't going be into a suit. "Whoever left them...

"Two legs," the Demon notes. "Any ideas?" --- Because of Nori's inability to understand trained Pokemon's words, he doesn't get the information unless someone else notes it aloud. Though he'll notice on his own anyway once heading out. Telepathy is one way, though. "Aa?!" he freaks at first...

(OoC: I was meaning to have him get the answer before leaving but this works scarily perfectly for where he is so) Nori freezes up, but not because of any effect of the world. "No! No, nonono, I can't, I mean, I don't want to! I don't want to risk it. I k--h...ould--" He nearly chokes at what...

Afterward, Nori went west. It was a matter of process of elimination, and also not wanting to stay put. He places a hand on his pocket. "Hm." The boy puts a finger to his nose and closes his eyes. "Going over the facts. There was a big fight whose cause is unclear. From the pristine state of...

"Hold up, what do you mean you can't fight anymore?" Nori inquires, leaning forward and putting a single hand on his hip. That was really important information they didn't mention! "Like, do you mean literally? You try and you can't?" --- The Demon twitches and growls. If she came all this way...

Ironically, the insult wasn't actually directed at her. But this does get him to roll his eyes; he was incidentally facing away so she wouldn't see. Couldn't she take this seriously? Just because there weren't going to be long-term consequences for them if they failed doesn't mean there wouldn't...

"I see. Thank you for your time." It didn't really tell them a lot, other than the fact that they seemed to be on edge because of Meloetta. One more bow before he turns to address the group. "They have to be in the forest, right?" He glances to the side and slumps a little. "I don't really like...
