"I'll try to drive it back this way!" Nip called out, running ahead. "A couple of you, keep to the sides, make sure it stays running forward — right into our trap!"

Nice? Him? He'd like to think so, but... He smiled weakly. "You're too kind, Celeste. But thank you. I'd enjoy having another chance to talk soon. Preferably at a time when neither of us is recovering from a fight." And with that, he turned and made his way towards the exit. <><><><><><><><><>

"It sounds like it. Our rules aren't totally the same, but similar enough. In my tribe, there's nothing wrong with taking pride in succeeding on a dangerous hunt. A big, dangerous pokemon like a mamoswine or hydreigon would feed many mouths. It's not pride so much in the killing, but in the fact...

"Probably not what you'd expect." Nip laughed. "Most pokemon would probably think it crazy to follow the god of death, but I don't see it as such. The facts are that most of us pokemon are mortal, one day, we'll die. But we know that Yveltal will take care of us, and make sure our spirits pass...

Nip frowned. He could believe it. If that was true, then... Maybe it was best not to think about it right now. "Mm. Though it's good to strategize, it won't help us much unless we can fill everyone else in." He shifted in his nest, trying to relax. "You talked about how Ho-Oh relates to Xerneas...

"Sea storms sound dangerous, though not as dangerous as one with power over life and death." He let out a long breath. "If Ho-Oh does appear alongside Darkwhite and Lugia... well, it could be a losing battle, trying to defeat them while Ho-Oh continually keeps them healed and healthy."

Nip sheepishly scratched at the side of his face. "Yeah. Unfortunately, a lot of stories have been obscured by time and by... the lay of the world in a sense. I recently came to realize just how much was lost when the world was split apart by the mystery dungeons. Not long before Diyem called us...

"That seems to be the case," Nip agreed. He tilted his head. "Curious. Zygarde is... technically one of the greater gods, as the overseer of balance, of making sure all is right in the world. Though not as powerful as the original gods — that would be the Creator of Mon, Mew, and the Creator of...

At the mention of Yveltal, Nip perked up slightly. "Though I know little of Ho-Oh, Xerneas and Yveltal I know much more of. One of our stories claims that Yveltal, at Zygarde's request allowed Ho-Oh to escape death. Because leaving Lugia without a counterpart to balance him would have been...

"Mm." Nip shifted so that he was actually facing Celeste. "Then it's fortunate Diyem alerted everyone when he did. Perhaps, had I been able to come, we could have done something more to stop her, but..." He trailed off and decided to try changing the subject. "I... admit that I know very...

"Late morning. Maybe midday. I'm not sure." Nip sat up in his nest, looking at the recovering absol. The last couple of days had passed in a blur. Initially, he had woken up in the Guild infirmary, where he'd spent the first day of his recovery. But he had refused to spend any more time there...

Nip tried to latch on to Zane's words. He really did. Some small part of him felt like it was something he needed to hear. But it was hard to focus when everything was so bright. Ectoplasmic energy gathered around one of his arms, which he used to slash at the zangoose. Even without the protect...

He was trying to hold it together. There was no reason to get angry at Zane's words. He needed to calm down. But he couldn't. Not with Zane here. And not when he kept thinking about her. More ice formed along his arms. Without thinking, he hurled the attack forward. "I. Said. LEAVE!" And then...

Dark energy began to gather at his claws. "Don't try to make excuses! Or distractions! Just—" He stuck out an arm, pointing at the zangoose. Only then did he notice the light his body was giving off. His fur bristled as his anger gave way to alarm. The attack he'd started to channel died away...

The ice shards bounced uselessly off fo the protect shield, prompting Nip to let out a low growl. "Coward!" he hissed. "Don't just lay there and take it or hide behind some protect. Get up and fight!" More ice was forming.

We've had our betrayals, we've had our jumps into other worlds. Now it's time for evil! This corpse has all sorts of excitement. Secret agents, stick-ups, breaking and entering, and an appletun, yo! Ten authors came together to create this beautiful mess. Here they are, in alphabetical order...

"Too bad! An enemy isn't going to fight fair!" Nip shouted back. He prepared to dodge once again, but this time, Zane was ready for him. The nasty claw strike sent him tumbling backwards with a yelp. He landed on his stomach. And when he stood, two small streaks of red were beginning to mat the...

Both Nip and his clone dodged to the right, though Zane's attack still struck the Nip on the left. His hand seemed to pass through it before the solid illusion burst apart into nothingness. Nip scowled, and slung forth two more shards, aiming them at Zane's back. "Fool! Never turn your back on...

For such a big guy, he sure was cowardly. But he could think fast at least, and plan on the fly. Maybe he wasn't quite the dead weight Nip thought he was. If he wanted to hit him, he'd have to focus on making sure his strikes would hit, and the focus of honing his claws would certainly work...

"To gore me, you'd have to actually hit me." He bounced lightly from one foot to the other, waiting to see what Zane would do next. He hadn't expected him to throw the dummy. It was a dirty trick, but it was resourceful. He bounced back, barely avoiding being hit by the projectile. But he was...
