Diyem sighed, and it felt as if the mist was pacing around Curio, sitting beside her to stare at the ocean's horizon. Maple had given you all a history lesson about this world and the crises that had recently befallen it, one after the other. That the true person behind it all was... Dark...

The silence finally let up when Curio started replying, but Diyem still found himself paralyzed. You are focused on your own plight because nobody spared the time to hear them. And yet, when they do, you push them away, because perhaps even you do not truly want to focus on it. Perhaps it is...

Diyem did not intend to go away, but he decided to leave that to implication rather than stating it overtly. There are a few Pokemon who can relate to that, said Diyem. One way or another. They do not know the magnitude that you have suffered. ...Hmph. But I would not have chosen you if I...

Day 15, Early Noon "Here we are," Owen said, looking down the main road. They had checked Olive and Plum first, but both of them seemed just fine for the time being, though Plum mentioned he was feeling under the weather. Still, he had no slug or signs of one, so they moved on. "This place...

Fuck. Why was Curio asking the most difficult questions? Diyem wasn't one to yammer on. Was he? Sure, he used to go on rants about the follies of mon, but that was past him now. Mostly. It was still true but he didn't rant as much about it. Follies... Regardless of how you felt in your old...

Owen left with Dave quickly, looking at his hands with interest. He still felt that tingling from the Radiance, but he didn't know how it would manifest... Still, the investigation came first. Hopefully it would help out with his currently-unformed perception abilities. "Right. Good luck, Jaro...

I could do that, Diyem replied coolly. But if people ask where you went, I would answer. Then you will be bothered even more. But if you allow my presence, I will tell them that you are alone, but safe.

Okay, she was talking. That was a start. The next step was making her feel more secure. She was pushing him away and he wasn't supposed to press. What was next? Insulting her? No, that didn't seem right. Mortals were so illogically and needlessly complicated and fickle. I am not one for pep...

"No clue," Thyme said. "Been here all day finishing my recovery. Apparently the injuries we sustained are harder to heal than normal ones, but we're bouncing back..." He chuckled, cracking his long neck. "Wouldn't be much of an explorer if we couldn't." Pine shook his head. "Planned to come...

Calm down. I mean this literally, Diyem said quickly. His words were swift but more like a command. Close your eyes and focus not on the light, but on darkness. Stillness. Silence. Control your breathing and forget about the light. Cast it aside. Diyem spoke hypnotically, but if Celeste followed...

One of these days, I expect a silent apology, Diyem growled.

"Marowak came screaming and crying that he heard an explosion and then just you in the middle of the arena, whole place blasted away like Giratina bore holes into the Reverse World from there." Thyme shook his head. "You really did a number to that place. Hope nobody got caught up in it...

Not always, but I imagine the feral ones mostly do. Diyem had always been told that his idea of jokes did not go well for mortals. He supposed he could try the story about the orphaned hatchling speaking to the berry bush, but that usually made people sad. Probably not the best time right now...

"Oh, hey," Thyme greeted, glancing toward Brisa. With a bit of a strain, he rolled until he was facing her, showing that he still had some cuts and bruises on his body even after all the healing. "Fuckin' thing," he mumbled when he tried to readjust his position against the bed. Leg nervously...

The negativity attracted Diyem like a bug to carrion. Slowly, his attention drew toward Curio, ever silent, as he wondered just how he could approach this. Curio was clearly in a great amount of distress, and that wouldn't do for team dynamics, especially when it was very likely that Brisa...

I was in the middle of making sure none of the team exploded from certain... recent developments, Diyem replied coolly. Mostly from their own hubris given form, apparently...

...Hm. Don't overuse it. Or do. Perhaps I can use the entertainment.

<><><> Day 15, Noon Brisa's body would be aching all over, like she had been slashed over and over by so many angry Scyther. Despite this, she wore no bandages, and instead only had a simple cloth wrapped around her. There was something that smelled vaguely like mint, or perhaps coal, some...

"Mint tea?" Spinda perked up. "Well, that's a rare order, but we can certainly whip that up for you, if you like!" Cheerfully, the dizzying Pokemon wobbled this way and that from behind the counter, leaning down to pull out some ingredients for the beverage.

Surprisingly, that was not the case here, at least not by the shape alone. Some of the homes were carved of polished stone and had very little gardening work, suggesting the inhabitants were Rocks. Further down the road, another plot of land had been converted into a pond that, despite not going...
