He said the quiet part out loud. How amusing. "And there lies the problem." A problem Paradox knew the human would never admit. He wasn't sure the human could admit it. "Some creature willed time to flow. Willed the world to exist." His body turned to matched his head. "Which means you and...

"The fact is that there are plenty of tiny, miniscule singularities with unfathomable amounts of energy stored within them. They cannot maintain such massive energy in such small spaces, because energy needs to be freed." His right tentacles curled up into an arm, ending with a hand he clenched...

"Ah, such an adorable assumption." Paradox's head swiveled around on his neck without his body turning. Naturally, the god-obsessed types would want to cement their beliefs as absolute. "Incorrect, but adorable nonetheless. There are plenty of worlds formed from nature itself. Cosmological...

Paradox's tentacles twitched. "Gods? What ridiculous sentiments." He didn't turn his head from the art piece he looked at. "What good is a world formed from the will of one or more living creatures?"

If the deoxys was to gain a better understanding of the rifts, then he would need to investigate one, even if briefly. He wasn't one for taking foolish risks. He'd had an entire team of poipole analysts do every test imaginable on the rift and watched it long enough to conclude it was, indeed...

Have I read the rules? Yes. Did I run them through Google translate and reread them? Also yes. Name: Paradox Age: Is relative to a virus. Appearance: Standard deoxys-A. Personality: Cold ham, braggart, manipulative. Quite sure of himself because his victory is only a matter of time. Backstory...

Chapter 67: Blinding Me With Science Entry 1093 I don't know who he is, but I hate him. I only saw him briefly. Didn't even speak to him. But he gives off light just like I do. Light stuffed inside some vaguely canine body. And that light... Something about his aura just set me off. I tried...

Chapter 66: Move It or LaRousse It Yuna had time to mentally prepare herself, with Cyril and Gene working together to outfit several of them with special collars for the trek to Kalidron IV's remains. Apparently they projected barriers that would "keep the harsh vacuum of Eternatus' innards...

Vengeance is mine! For as clear of a contrast the dialogue and behavior creates between Elois and Raine, I'd argue it's the lemony narrator stealing the show since they're providing the bulk of the descriptors here. And injecting a fair amount of color commentary, to boot. The way they switch...

Chapter 65: Caught Up in the Particulars The Butterfree Effect. On paper, it's a logical fallacy. The idea that a tiny change in the past could create a giant ripple effect that unravels the future. The mathematicians who created the theory didn't account for legendary pokémon. I've gathered...

Chapter 64: A Red Chain Reaction I got a new assignment. The last one of my "internship," assuming all goes well. They want to set up a small outpost in POV-2020. Multiple Overseers have been studying that dimension because there's something off with it and no one has a straight answer. So...

Chapter 63: Like a Bat out of Hell It is the ultimate blasphemy against the Benefactor to gaze upon the Matriarch's face. Even the High Priestess, the Hierophant, and the Moon — those whose powers speak to the masses — may never look upon Her. Her avatars are only meant to be viewed through...

Just to clarify, then, that would mean each "pool" has a first, second, third, etc.? Sounds interesting. I guess organizers will have to wait to see how many submissions they get before determining how many judges are really needed and, depending on how many also submitted entries, how to divvy...

Chapter 62: Adjust the Plating During the time of harmony, the Matriarch wielded the power of the Universe. The power to shape fate itself. When the Embodiment of Chaos destroyed the harmony, the Matriarch tried to preserve it. The salvaged remnants became the Benefactor. But the Matriarch...

Chapter 61: In Thirty Minutes or Less Phenomenal affirmation. It's a phrase I've heard a couple of times across some of the dimensions I've visited. Still don't quite get it. Sounds like a whacky concept where someone can, like, manipulate fate itself. Like it's something a person can mold and...

Why you don't want to be a mew in Path of Valor Every planet is different, but there are a select number of life-bearing planets across the universe where pokémon and humans evolved from Mew. On Earth, Mew is believed to be the first living creature in recorded history. The first mew gave rise...

He called Nova a good boy. There was a protocol for that. ... Tail wagging!

"I can and have killed for my team," Nova mumbled, before glancing at one of the other statements in the strange... not-a-pillar thing. He tilted his head up and opened his beak wide. "BARK! BARK BARK BARK BARK!" In a quieter tone, he added, "Woof."

"A... battle?" Nova stepped back. "No, that doesn't sound like a good idea. Make the... weird thing delete it."

Songs? The pillar wanted... singing? Nova looked left, then right. He was no primarina. Or even a chatot. Maybe that was what Nova needed to not be so... on edge. Something ridiculous. "My funny valentine. Sweet, funny valentine." Oh god, what was he doing? What was he doing? He sounded...
