Some complications... that’s what those papers were about, it seemed. “Oh well. Temporary setbacks, I suppose? I’m looking forward to it. Something makes me think this will be a more interesting group to party with than the people I know from back home.”

Celeste smiled for real and nodded. “Yes. I’d like that very much.”

Celeste laughed a humourless laugh. “You don’t have to worry about me, you know. I wasn’t old enough to even know what happened to me back then. I’ve spent the rest of my life since then safe and comfortable in a privileged position in a nice town. Your problems are much more... significant.”

“That’s why I’m here, really. I could hurl myself off a cliff and go back home anytime, but... I feel like I have to be here. I have a duty to perform here.” I don’t want to be here. He’d known that already, at least on some level... but admitting it felt different. He had always told himself...

“Oh my. That’s quite a story. I am glad that it resolved itself in your favour. Glad you’re here with us.” Should he say it? Would it sound like he was trying to one-up Icetales? He didn’t want that. Oh? Vix just asked him. That simplified things. “Well, I’ve had a... well, not exactly a...

[Nazo > Team Spectrum] Err, does anyone know who this “Pop” is. They sound like... quite the oddball.

Celeste laughed. “Only your second time? This is my first time being outside my home, much less becoming involved in heroics. I’ve always been anchored at home. Now... I’m floating adrift. I’m glad I’ve got friends here to keep me sane. Otherwise I’d have long since snapped.” Celeste relaxed...

“Huh. I’ve never really though to map the night skies before. I know it’s been done, or at least that there’s some stars that get used for navigation, but I’d never deigned to take it on myself. I suppose I’d always been more of a consumer of writing than a creator of it.” He stopped to muse...

“A new sky every night... Huh. I don’t know what to make of that. Back in my home, I knew the constellations by heart” “Yeah. I wonder if they’ll stay like that, or if they’ll drift out of alignment. When I was younger, I used to try to find constellations, but some of them would drift out of...

“You’re welcome to join us, I suppose. Never really stargazed with other people before, aside from...” Aside from Cuicatl. He still worried about her and how not-okay she seemed. But... that wasn’t really his story to share. “Well, sometimes at home we’d hold celebrations that went on into the...

Celeste suddently tensed at the sound of Vix. “Oh. Yeah, it is. That’s- That’s why we’re here. The stars are out in full tonight, so we’re taking a night to relax.”

Celeste took one last look at himself before walking up. His fur was groomed all nicely, he had the contacts in... everything was fine. He took a deep breath. He was... nervous? Icetales and Nip were the two people he most liked, and... he hadn’t exactly been patient with Icetales before. He...

“Exactly. Best to just sit around and be miserable instead. No point trying to do anything happy. Let’s just all give up, call off the something lovely. You were clearly a fool to think happiness was obtainable. Let’s go dig a hole to curl up and cry in instead. Yes, surely that’s the logical...

OKAY STARLIGHT WE’RE ENDING THE DAY EARLY NOW! RIGHT? RIGHT?

Vote: Equital

“Hmph. I don’t take it as likely that all that work produced nothing of value. More likely that you’re just having another episode of post-battle panic.” He shrugged one forepaw. “Too late to fix it now.”

Yep. The plan last night was to all switch and force a tie, then a tie, then a tie, but somebody slept through the bloody vote deadline! Now we only have a 75% chance of winning instead of 87.5%.

Once the machine was destroyed, the lines of light showing Celeste what was about to happen greatly diminished. No longer were there chaotic crisscrosses of Shaymin weaving through the party. Everything seemed calm until Celeste noticed a burst of something about to flare up beside Icetales. He...

“For fun? You think I hunt for fun? I don’t have the fortune to be able to live off plants. I haven’t hunted ever since we found out it wasn’t necessary here. I refuse to be judged for choosing not starve myself.”

Assurance the heck out of the shadow machine with all the actions!
