"He came to sit in on a meeting we were having. Talked a bit, asked him about some of this. I know you know this matters because he knew." Dave's heart pounded uncomfortably. "Well, he agreed to have Breaker take a look at him. She said his mind was like broken glass stitched back together...

Dave kept his gaze on Soda. Was that the moon he was trying to look for in the sky? Wondering, perhaps, what the delay was, why nothing'd happened yet. His stomach clenched. "Well, we talked to the substitute with the green gem and it turns out there's a lot of shit he said he couldn't remember...

"Like I said. It's just me." Dave took a cautious step towards Soda's tree, then another. He took a deep breath. "I wanted to talk to you. About your memories. You remember when you told me you couldn't remember the talk you had with your partner, the morning after she attacked you?"

Dave looked around, wary. If Soda didn't want to see him that didn't really bode well. "Soda?" he said again. "It's just me. There's some shit you really need to know. I think somebody's been fucking with your memory."

Dave approached the Tree warily, uncomfortably aware that somewhere in there, Maple and Eien were duking it out with power that could rip all of Team Spectrum apart. He kept his nose to the ground for smells, just in case. If Soda really didn’t want to be found, fat chance that’d help any, but…...

Huh. He'd expected Koamaru to put up more resistance than that, after earlier. "Probably a good idea," he said. Xerneas was okay now, right? He'd been helpful at the meeting. No sign of wanting to coil around or corrupt anyone. He'd be fine. It was tempting to just stay here, on the sofa. But...

"Oh. Uh, you're welcome." The memory of that night going over what'd happened with Jack jabbed at his gut again. If you were going to have children trying to save the world, at least you could have some adults looking out for them. "You know you don't have to actually be there for confronting...

For a moment the Manectric looked distant and Dave started to wonder what the hell he'd said wrong, but then just as abruptly he was back to normal, grinning, in a whiplash strikingly like Jean. He raised his eyebrows. "Yeah. Ancient. I used to walk among the dinosaurs. One foot in the fucking...

"Ugh. Old enough people have stopped asking me that back home." Dave slumped against the back of the couch. "Forty since last July, whatever that even means here. So yeah, could be your fucking father. Can't exactly tell in these bodies, can you." His eyes slid back toward Koamaru. He'd done...

Reviewed chapter 46 of Salvage.

Dropping a review on chapter 46 here! And hoping you actually catch this thread up sometime. :P

Dave gave Koamaru a skeptical look. "If you say so. Personally, you know, given Diyem and Pop and so on exist, of course it helps that they seem basically well-intentioned, as far as that goes, but I feel better in a universe where there's some kind of finite maximum amount of damage that one...

"Well, in my world there's stories about supernatural beings creating the world, too. Every culture has a more batshit one than the next. That doesn't mean it's true. When there's no tangible evidence of supernatural anything, then chances are there is no supernatural anything. One would think...

Dave wasn’t sure how to feel about his world being the odd one out in not having any fucking legendary Pokémon. Was that technically some kind of evidence in favor, if every other world had them…? Christ. “Yeah, uh, personally I’m not a huge fan of divine beings keeping things in balance...

Dave raised an eyebrow. "Nope. I mean, there are people who think they exist but they're weird nuts. All the supposed evidence is pathetic, obviously fake or so vague it doesn't indicate anything at all. They're just myths. Pretty fucking insane to come here and every random conspiracy theory...

8. Who rules in your world? TQftL never brings up government, but each region has its own human government, generally just standard representative democracies similar to what we have in the modern world. Ouen has an elected parliament and president. It's a fairly utopian world with little...

Dave squinted at him. Kid was really not getting the hint that he didn't need to come, but for the moment he welcomed the transparent topic change. He wasn't going anywhere until he'd had some food, anyway. And maybe painkillers. He pushed himself to his feet, shook out his mane and jumped off...

The kid looked conflicted as hell. Dave watched him, doubtful. "Well, yeah, that's why I said I was planning to go to the Tree of Life. Is there something you're desperate to ask him? Because if there is you may just want to visit the one in the Holding Cells, and not the one who's still out...

Dave clenched his jaw. Yeah, Soda didn't trust people much, did he. Not enough to have just fucking talked about what he was up to. "Well, I don't know how much you've talked, or how that whole conversation between you went, but you didn't seem to have a lot of love for him back at the meeting...

"Well, he said one of them was at the Tree of Life. Been meaning to try to find that one, see if he'd have any more information and how easy it'd be to convince him his mind is shot without Breaker. The last one he just said was hiding and he had no idea, so dunno how easy it'd be to find that...
