Alright, some thoughts on Chapter 6! Aaron seems to be struggling to cope with what he saw in regards to the dead body. Poor kid has decided to blame himself for it it seems, which is rather silly and yet also not unrealistic. People can be silly like that. This makes me wonder though! Between...

Koa invites Xernatus to watch a colosseum match. If he doesn't want to go in person, understandably, Koa'll drag a tv out to the Pines or use his badge to watch it on. he tells Xernatus all about Team Spectrum and how awesome they are and are using these powers to fight back and save the world...

ohohohoo this is exciting! I suggest maybe doing primarily discord pings bc its easier but maybe we could do "Milestone" VC's? Like every time we finish an 'arc' or a section or something, maybe we can do voice chats? Perhaps.... 4 ayear? idk. (Voice chats are risky and mentally straining for...

Koa keeps visiting Xernatus. He seems to have an easier time hanging out with him than the team, in some ways. He shares some more personal feelings sometimes and asks Xernatus if he remembers anything more about the moment he managed to break free and make the choice to help Diyem. How did it...

After his encounter the pines, Koa makes time to visit Xernatus. He tries not to stay too long so he doesn't overstay his welcome. Sometimes he makes conversation, but sometimes he just sits there with him. He tries not to bring up Xerneas or what happened much, and instead just tells him random...

"Yeah," Koa said quietly, gazing pensively out at the forest. "There's no rush. Whether you come or stay... just make sure its something you want. Your decision." He sat in silence for a few moments more. Grinning, he said, "If you ever want an easy choice, you can always come grab food with me...

He hadn't quite expected Xernatus to take his suggestion too serious but... perhaps they might be helpful after all... "Who would stop you?" he said wryly. In a more serious tone he continued, "If you wanted to... well I'm sure you can go back. Diyem will be there, and I don't think anyone...

Koa remained quiet through it all, until Xernatus finally seemed ready to speak. For a good minute, he thought about his answer. He didn't want to rush into this response. "Honestly... there's a lot," he said finally. "I mean, you really can do anything..." he snorted and shook his head to...

Koa stared dumbly at Xernatus for a second, caught off guard. He'd never been good when it came to people crying or being sad. Had he caused this? Was he being too much? Should he pat them on the head or something? Pushing himelf to his feet, he walked over to Xernatus slowly, a little stiffly...

One moment, he was fine, and the next everything felt like it exploded. The tree shattered at the trunk, tipping towards him. The ground seemed to tilt under his feet and before he could move, he found himself on his side, the tree about to fall, about to crush him - Red light filled his...

"Because you matter!" Koa countered, his voice rising to a near desperate shout. "Because no one deserves to believe that where they come from is all they can be!" He sucked in a sharp breath. "So what if you're not Xerneas? I don't care! Maybe other people do but I don't! You're Xernatus...

Koa frowned, a look of determination on his face. "I don't care. I'm not going anywhere." He stared right at Xerneas, as if willing them to feel his stubborness. "Whatever you did... that doesn't matter. You don't have to be whatever you think you were made to be. You can choose your legacy."...

"You... you don't have to leave," Koa said slowly. "I mean. Maybe we can find something for you. Something you want to do. Not just Xerneas but something you like." He paused. "Just because you're not Xerneas doesn't mean you're not real." Was it even that simple? Would the citizens of Cibus...

The chill in the air seemed to grow and grow as Xernatus spoke, until Koa felt cold to his very bones. He stared down at his paws for a long moment, his thoughts swirling like the wisps of snow around him. "That... that freakin sucks," he muttered finally. He wasn't sure what else to say, and it...

Koa fidgeted. He had never felt so out of his depth before. So scared. He wanted to help so bad but he didn't want to make things any worse- "Do you want to be Xerneas?" he asked softly. He paused and stared at the ground. "I mean... I don't know a lot about you or what you are. Do you know how...

Koa drew back, almost surprised at their fury. Yet their words felt like some were twisting his throat. He swallowed stiffly and sat down. "I'm not going anywhere," he said firmly. It's what he would have wanted someone to do for him. "You're not just a parasite... even if you did do something...

Koa stared back, slightly unnerved. Why did he care? Did he just wanted information? He'd thought that at first but now, seeing them, he felt... something else. Pity? Sadness? Some sort of empathy maybe... It had to hurt, to be lost and confused, to have done something that you felt terrible...

Koa flinched to the side as the beam tore by him. Ahead, in the gloom, he could just make out the shape of Xernatus, coiled around the tree in a rather horrific manner. There was anger in their tone but it wasn't just mad, they were upset. Sad. "I don't want to mock you." Koa paused a few...

Koa nearly jumped out of his skin at the attack, the beam missing his nose by mere centimeters. He flinched back and whirled to face the direction of the beam. He prowled closer, now on alert. He wasn't sure if Xernatus was upset or angry or what was going on. Were they corrupted again? Maybe...

Koa picked his way through the pine trees, a faint chill nipping at his fur. After some searching, and a little bit of sniffing around, he'd finally managed to figure out that the... well, he didn't want to call it a thing, exactly. Xernatus seemed nicer (and cooler). Xernatus was out here...
