    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Okay, good. Brisa was starting after all. Celeste observed the glow coming his way, and lept out of the affected area. Avoiding the attack came with a certain satisfaction. He wanted to punish the missed attack, and his shadows obliged him. "That's the shadow I'm familiar with. But I should be...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    "Mhm." Celeste nodded. "I think I understand." What were those feelings for him? Radiance came with it a feeling of ferality, but Shadows... "Perhaps I'll try spitefulness. That's what helps with my existing shadow attack." Brisa braced herself, perhaps expecting an attack, and gave the nod to...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Celeste nodded. "Ah. I don't quite know how to spar per se. Never been in a fight with someone who wasn't either too absurdly powerful for me to kill... or was prey I was supposed to eat." He laughed an awkward laugh. "I don't know what the rules are for friendly combat... but I suppose I can...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Celeste put down the book he was reading and checked his badge. What does "assess my combat readiness" mean? Celeste poked into what he thought was the right training room, and saw Brisa warming up there. Phew, he'd half expected to go to the wrong room. "Hello, Brisa. What is it you have in...

    Game Week of the Multiverse: Sneasel's House (Koa, Gladion, Dusk [Sneasel])

    Gladion didn't entirely understand why faking amnesia would be desirable in the first place, much less faking humanity. Still, something about the ridiculousness of the entire concept made him consider preemptively executing step three of the plan out of spite, but he figured it might be useful...

    Game Week of the Multiverse: Sneasel's House (Koa, Gladion, Dusk [Sneasel])

    Once night fell, Gladion had to face the idea of meeting people on his own, seeing as he and Nero were assigned different rooms. He entered the house in as subtly as a two meter tall chimera could hope to. He caught a glimpse of an unidentifiable white-furred roommate there already. He wanted to...

    Logging 2 hours of contest writing (I should sprint more. Most of the actual words written were from the half-hour sprint I did yesterday.)

    Game Week of the Multiverse: Misdreavus' House (Lillie, Meggie, Odette)

    "I'll be fine," Lillie responded. Hopefully this doesn't keep happening, though. "Just... A little more caution would serve you well. I think you meant that as a compliment, but... it was something I was not doing. Which is more like constructive criticism. I... get enough of that already."

    Game Week of the Multiverse: Misdreavus' House (Lillie, Meggie, Odette)

    "Yeah, well, I appreciate the thought," she halfheartedly murmured. "I get that you're happy-go-lucky enough to be fine with this, but current events haven't left me in a particularly smily mood. I don't care to fake it at the moment, either."

    Game Week of the Multiverse: Misdreavus' House (Lillie, Meggie, Odette)

    "Conservation work is different from just being a doctor. Mimikyu are one of the species we're supposed to be conserving, what am I going to do, conserve myse-?" "It's funny," Lillie hissed, "For all your criticism of my mother, you sure are sounding a lot like her right now..." I don't care...

    Game Week of the Multiverse: Misdreavus' House (Lillie, Meggie, Odette)

    Lillie laughed. "I'm glad you believe in me, then, but..." She shifted nervously. "Well, either way, I can't do it as a Mimikyu, so I don't need to worry about it right now." That was another consolation prize of this situation. She didn't have to worry about all human stuff. Maybe... this...

    Game Week of the Multiverse: Misdreavus' House (Lillie, Meggie, Odette)

    "Thanks, but... There's only so much that can do." Especially when I don't know what to focus on. She wondered how blunt to be with him. He was only trying to help, even if it wasn't very helpful. "If it was that easy, I wouldn't have this problem."

    Game Week of the Multiverse: Misdreavus' House (Lillie, Meggie, Odette)

    How was she supposed to explain this to a Zoroark? Especially one as dense as this guy? "It's not about having a 'good heart' or not. It's not just the thought that counts here! I can't restore populations with The Power of Friendship and Positive Thinking. It takes a certain kind of person. A...

    Game Week of the Multiverse: Misdreavus' House (Lillie, Meggie, Odette)

    Lillie nodded. "Yes, human tech is quite impressive. My bag should have some of it, wherever it ended up. Any trainer can use a spray bottle, but the long-term rehabilitation is more difficult, and the conservation of at-risk species even moreso. It's complicated than just being nice." For me...

    Game Week of the Multiverse: Misdreavus' House (Lillie, Meggie, Odette)

    "I want to..." She paused for a moment. "Uhh, context: The pokemon in my world don't talk, or build and live in towns, and they certainly don't have things like reviver seeds." She wasn't sure if conservation would be seen as weird in this world. Still, there was no backing down now that she'd...

    Game Week of the Multiverse: Misdreavus' House (Lillie, Meggie, Odette)

    "I struggle to be a functional member of society. Yes, my mother wants me to be functional." Lillie grumbled, not sure if she was irritated with Kora or herself. "But that's because she cares about me, not because she's taken over my life."

    Game Week of the Multiverse: Misdreavus' House (Lillie, Meggie, Odette)

    "I see," Lillie murmured, trying not to think too hard about how familiar that felt to her. Her father hadn't been like that, at least. "They... choose to stay? Have any of them... told you why?" No. Don't think like that. You'd be stuck as a Mimikyu. Imagine trying to live the rest of your...

    Game Week of the Multiverse: Misdreavus' House (Lillie, Meggie, Odette)

    "We have a responsibility," Lillie recited. "She doesn't just put pressure on me for her own sadistic pleasure. It's just the world I was born into. I guess in worlds like this one or yours, anyone can run off and do whatever they please. In my world, I have a duty." Maybe I'd just be better...

    Game Week of the Multiverse: Misdreavus' House (Lillie, Meggie, Odette)

    Lillie paused. "I guess." She stopped to think for a moment. She felt like that didn't apply to her. "But my Mother wasn't raising me to be baker or a hero. It was the kind of thing you need to learn from a young age. And it was important. Someone had to do it, and my, uhh, brother... he left...
