Hey all, three announcements! 1. Don't forget to wrap up your scenes for Day 1 ~ Evening soon! I want to get to Day 2 ~ Morning no later than Sunday my time, which will be in a little over two days and eight hours from this post. 2. I'm going to be (finally) posting the Master Rulebook for...

Chapter 53 – Similarly Different Being called a prototype was new. Owen knew it was true, but there was something about actually hearing the word spoken by what was literally an improved version of himself that hurt more than he had expected. “Har, that was very rude,” Trina said. Her eyes...

"Spicier?" Owen asked, perking up. "Maybe we should go out together and find Tamato Berries to eat! I bet that'll satisfy your, uh, spicy tooth."

"Well, we're all made of the same stuff, right?" Owen asked, finally getting cozy and bundled in his blanket near the others. "I guess sometimes life can just... form after a while... I think I remember reading something about that before, and I think it made sense to me at the time..."

"Luminous Orbs. They, uh, I think they contain a very bright flash of light that sustains itself for a while. Maybe you can, I dunno, hang onto one...?" Owen pondered this quietly to himself.

Everything before has been logged. Sorry @kintsugi for not updating the announcement thread with the more current info on the volunteer thread--volunteer reviews are a flat +1 extra on top of the normal points! Let me know if you have any problems with that for what you had done already though...

Owen grumbled, looking down. "Well, the moon's just reflecting the sunlight, so I figured you'd get more from mrmrmrm..." He wandered off to find a place to curl up to rest before a thought crossed his mind. "Hey, what about Luminous Orbs?"

"Oh." Owen frowned, unsure of how to address that. "Too bad Diyem didn't give you a form that can handle that more..." He looked back. "But hey, maybe... we can find a way to help? Do you feel better during the daytime?"

"He got me because I was hanging out with him when he got the call," Owen explained simply, nodding. "Anyway, um, what was your, er, what was your name again? Do you not eat at all? Because I'm sure I can make a gummi for you..."

"Bu-but I'm not supposed to be cool! I'm hot!" Owen protested immediately, pointing toward himself.

"I--I mean, he probably does..." Owen's tail drooped.

"What do you mean, impulses? I'm--I'm totally normal!" Mm. No comment. Owen's flame grew in size and he seized his blanket tighter. "B-blasphemous? Well, er, you... uh..." Owen realized that he wasn't good at insults. "...You probably need some rest!"

"He-hey! I'm not a kid!" Owen said, pointing at Necrozma. "I may not know how old I am, but I definitely feel like I should be offended at you calling me a kid!" It's true, he isn't a child. Diyem said. Owen puffed out his chest proudly. Despite the evidence suggesting otherwise. His flame...

"Well, I--" Owen fidgeted, finally finding the blanket as he clutched it against his chest. "It's soft..."

"But... but fire's cozy..." Owen looked longingly toward the flames again, then at Necrozma. "Do I have to use that weird blanket again? It's not the same..." And stop insinuating he's working for me like you aren't, Diyem growled. If I needed to perform some sort of ritual, why would I use...

"Yeep!" The blast of energy sent Owen rolling out from under the pot and onto the packed dirt next to it. It was more like a shove than anything, but it still startled him a little. And he was just about to go to bed, too... "What was that for?" he complained, squinting at the ceiling. "I was...

Some time later, when most of the gummis were cooked and they had a generous spread for the whole team to enjoy, Owen came shambling inside with sore arms--he had been hanging on Truffle's back for quite a while, after all, and his body still felt weak and delicate. "Hey," he said...

Owen winced, but tried to hide it in the darkness. That didn't stop his tail from flaring up, though. "I think I'm going to get dinner and then an early night's sleep..."

Additionally, this is another reminder that some time late this weekend, I will be making the final advancement of the round to Day 2 ~ Morning. Please wrap up your scenes by the end of the weekend so I can advance. Then, at around Thursday of next week (about 9 days from now), I will start...

"Ch-Charmy? Boss?" Owen glanced skyward, wondering if the conspiracy that he and Diyem were working together had spread that much already. It would explain the three Charmander on the team...
