"Why the fuck would you say Maple wouldn't have lost it? Last I heard, when you guys went over to her house to check her for Shadows she was pretty fucking unimpressed. You sure she would've figured oh, hey, actually that's perfectly plausible now, I'm going to not go into the Tree of Life?"

Dave quirked an eyebrow at the insinuation that doing science without a god helping along was particularly noteworthy. God, what a concept. "I mean, as far as getting into it, I was just interested. I read a load of books on biology and evolution and genetics as a teenager, went to college...

"Vix," Dave said, gritting his teeth, "I talked to him. He fucking opened by admitting it was him. He explained his plan to use the power he has to get back to his world and depose its Arceus and get his partner back. Only..." He glanced away. "According to Maple, shit didn't actually go down...

Dave kept his gaze off to the side as Koa and Brisa explained, but when Diyem spoke up a flare of anger rose in his chest. "Hey. Soda warned us Maple was going to go nuts and was corrupted to hell and back, and look exactly what fucking happened. The lure that stopped Maple from cutting us all...

Dave led the way out of the training rooms. In the empty corridor of the Colosseum, Mia spoke again, frowning. "Do you want to merge with Joule?" "Mia, what the fuck. I'm not a shade." "If what Rocky was saying is like your brain, then if you were a shade maybe you'd want to merge with...

Maple was oozing Blacklight, eyes crazed as she rushed towards Eien. Soda'd been right, and Dave knew it. He felt hairs rising all along his back, looking frantically at Koa. This Maple lure had better fucking work, and they'd better be able to get the fuck out of here before it-- Dave's ears...

((please imagine this was posted on turn one)) Dave stared at Diyem and the twisted Xerneas. Why the fuck hadn't anybody stopped this before it happened. At any rate it was too late to preempt it now. He could feel the dark energy in the air intensifying by the moment as Diyem prepared to lay...

Mia squinted at Rocky. "Is this like Dave's brain problems?" Wh-- dear fucking God. "Yes, we're done here. Mia, we're leaving." "I didn't say anything new. They already know about--" "Goodbye." Dave turned her around with a firm paw on her back and motioned to leave. Why the fuck had he even...

"Well, I'm not exactly eager to just take his fucking word for it." Dave scowled at Rocky. "Anyone else who could confirm Millijoule actually wanted to go back to him?" God, why was he even here still talking about this shit. He had better things to worry about. Like whether Soda was the...

A shade had... what. Well, maybe those were eager to go back to him, for all he knew. Maybe if Squiggly'd met Joule pre-Ultra Stone he'd have been dying to join him. Didn't change that they'd gone and carved out their own identities now, and Joule had no business taking any of them back unless...

Dave narrowed his eyes at Rocky. "So Joule's been able to absorb all of you this whole time and just didn't?" Christ. He didn't really trust Joule with any familiar, ever, but if he'd actually not been trying to reabsorb anyone so far, that was at least a bit reassuring. And apparently that came...

Dave stared at him. Shit. What? What the fuck? "What do you mean, Millijoule decided he wanted to go back to being Joule? And to be clear, who told you he wanted it, because if it was fucking Joule you should not buy that, on principle." Was the fucker just going around murdering familiars...

Any other time he would have just ignored it, but right now the Mudkip's nonsense was just grating. "Look, I'm sorry some people here have things to do other than sit around in the Colosseum. Maybe if you'd..." His brain caught up with what Rocky'd just said. About Joule, breaking cores. He...

Mia looked satisfied by her victory, grinning in her slightly unsettling way as she harmlessly chopped Rocky into pieces. Dave suppressed a shudder as she turned back toward him, expression instantly turned to vague irritation. "You said you wouldn't be here until five." "Yeah. Yeah, I know I...

Mia was at the Colosseum, like she often was, probably with Rocky or somebody. Would Nate be there right now? Whatever. If that guy was going to give him shit right now over his own weird dramatic insistence that he couldn't bear to have Dave in the same room as him, so fucking be it. He headed...

Irritation flared up within him but there was nothing productive to do with it. What would they gain by pressing her on this? Nothing much. They had their answer, as far as why they hadn't rescued Soda's partner went. She'd never wanted or needed rescuing, at least as far as Maple was concerned...

Dave exhaled slowly, knot in his stomach. The worst part was he believed her, and wasn't quite even surprised. It'd always been a little weird, Soda's insistence that he didn't remember his exchange with her after the attack, the speculated brainwashing but not. He might not even have been lying...

Unfortunate sure was a fucking way of putting it. "Right. The way he told it, his world's Arceus was a pretty huge douchebag, and he brainwashed Soda's partner into attacking him. Was there a reason you didn't get her out of there with him? I asked him about that, and why you didn't take down...

“I’ve been thinking about Soda. You know, with him having disappeared and all,” Dave began, watching her carefully for a reaction. “He told me about his past once. Said he joined the God Squad after his world’s Arceus killed him and locked him out of his universe forever, and you revived him...?”
