Final votes: Sparkle: 6 (Persephone, Phant, Fusion,Homestar, Yellow, Sinderella ) No vote: Espeon -- One of the large secrets of Sparkleglimmer's success was her Voice. The voice in her head told her what to do, when to do it, and how. Of course, it was never something she would share with...

"Oh, this is a book about some of the fruits and berries local to the Sand Continent. I guess I've had a bit of a restless feeling to read all about Cibus before I go, y'know? And maybe some of that knowledge will carry over if I'm lucky."

"Well, the Blacklight didn't totally overpower you, so... that means something, doesn't it?" Owen pointed out, flipping through a few pages idly, focusing on some of the spicier berries.

Owen frowned. "Well, maybe that could change one day," he said. "You've still got time, after all. Who knows!" He sighed. "I guess I'm a little biased, though. Even with everything I've gone through, my friends and family helped me through it..."

"Freedom?" Owen asked. "You mean, the power, or something? I don't think we're... too free here, in a way. We're here for a duty, a job to save the world, you know? I've already felt... that would be what takes the most of my attention. It's only when I'm recovering that I can really relax..."

Fugu slammed into the barrier, but that was all. She seemed to be ignoring Shadow for now, even if she could see the barrier. "How do you treat this subconscious part of you?" Fugu asked. "Does he go away when you drink? Or does he become stronger?"

"Living a quiet life isn't so bad, either," Owen admitted. "I guess it's one of those things where the other way of life seems better when you're stuck with the first, though..."

Owen nodded. "One way or the other, you might eventually," he said. "Just depends on when... Something about the Hero's Aura fading, or something. Maybe once something is accomplished in the world you came from." He headed into a study room and gestured for Shiron to follow. "Crazy to think that...

"Same." Owen raised a book that seemed to be about local berries native to the Sand Continent. "I might forget all of this, but I'm hoping that maybe a tiny bit of it will stick with me in some way, y'know? Wouldn't be the first time."

While he was quiet, nothing could really mute the rumbles of footsteps that came with everything Owen did while moving. He tried to keep his footing light and even further tried to mute anything he did. The Blacklight Charizard rounded the corner, however, and spotted Shiron. "Oh," he said...

"You never know," Owen hummed thoughtfully. "I like to think that at least some of this might carry over in some way. And even if it doesn't... well. We all die eventually. Why be nihilistic about this?" Owen shrugged, grinning. "I say we make the most of it instead of putting it off just-because!"

Midday votes: Sparkle: 6 (Persephone, Phant, Fusion,Homestar, Yellow, Sinderella ) No vote: Espeon [[I haven't made an official rule for ending the day early. Due to the circumstances, I don't think I should end the day early this time. Next day, however, I would be in favor of it. We can...

Owen nodded. "That's true, you know, and fair," he said. "But Wheat doesn't really do that kind of rooting around. He sort of... If you have a repetitive thought, he said there's this... signal he recognizes, and then he can tell if it's causing you stress or not. He uses Psychic waves to...

Fugu grunted and blocked the hit again, buckling, but this time she pushed back and slammed into Dave as a counter. The Aqua Jet was quickly followed up by a dull slash to Dave's shoulder, and with it came a sharp call, "Just talks, and yet he is of you? What does he say? Why do you dismiss it...

"Are you sure?" Owen pressed, frowning. "Every time I talk to you, I can tell that there are little thoughts circling around your head. I can't read thoughts, but I can definitely tell if a thought is bugging you. Wheat... helps with those, you know. Repetitive thoughts that keep buzzing around...

"I hope so, too," Owen said, eyes flashing with something like an observant concern. "Right now, the average person wouldn't see anything wrong with you. But I know the potential someone like you has to take the wrong path... But... as long as you continue to be afraid, or at least aware, of...

There was another little glint in Owen's eyes that possibly infuriated Koa. But the Charizard's smile was undeniable. "You know," he said, "the very fact that you're asking that question... makers me think you'd be above average in what someone would do if they had that kind of power. That maybe...

Fugu parried the hit, but it wasn't without a slight wince from Dave's raw power. Even if he was more focused on disrupting, Dave had still become an extremely powerful Pokemon, and it showed in the way Fugu briefly buckled. But then, she redoubled her effort, calibrating and adjusting, and then...

"I want you to tell me about him and how he relates to you, then!" Fugu replied, taking her first blow. She rushed at Dave, slamming the blunt of her blade against the barrier, but then glanced at the one that had been left for Shadow. "And that is where he is?" asked Fugu, jumping back to avoid...

Ebony didn't sleep that night. What was the point? She already knew what was going to happen, and it didn't bother her anymore. It had been fun, at first. She'd gotten to feel smart. She'd been a good dog. Lots of people had told her that. She should have felt good about that. The point of...
