    Treasure Town ~ Main Square

    When Zane grabbed Celeste’s horn, he shoved back, freeing himself. “Yes. I have. And I did it without pining after them like a feral in heat. When I was turned down, I handled it like an adult... Listen, I had previously that thought some of our teammates were a bit harsh with you, but this...

    Treasure Town ~ Main Square

    Ick. If Celeste had known Zane had been planning to make a cringeworthy attempt to seduce the first local he met, then Celeste would’ve handled the opening to that conversation differently. “Bloody... Zane! What Giratina’s wyrd has come over you! Cut this out, now!” He placed himself between...

    Treasure Town ~ Main Square

    Celeste blinked. Slowly. He wasn’t so sure Zane was acting anymore. “Zane... Maybe tone it down a little? These things... take time.”

    Treasure Town ~ Main Square

    Celeste tried not to let his amusement show on his face. Luckily for him, Zane was playing along. “Oh, I’m sure we won’t have any repeat incidents. One has been enough of a headache.”

    Treasure Town ~ Main Square

    Celeste scoffed. “Well, it’s hardly his fault he was attacked by a spirit of cinder in the middle of the whole affair. I’m sure you saw the building it cleaved in half? Yes, I can see why he fled the scene when that occurred. Anything that both can and will cleave buildings in two is something...

    Treasure Town ~ Main Square

    Oh joy. This plan just got a lot more... interesting. “Oh. Hello, Zane. Funny that I’d bump into you here, now. I was just giving her some of the context for your... uhh... incident. Just so she understands what happened in proportion and doesn’t... uhh... judge you too harshly. Got a little...

    Treasure Town ~ Main Square

    “Do... what now?” It clicked. This was the shopkeeper Zane had stolen from. This would be... an interesting encounter. Hmm... should he try to help Zane? Or should he throw Zane below the stampede hooves, so to speak? No wait. He had a plan. It was a wonderful, beautiful plan. He could try to...

    Threadmarks: R2 – Day 8, Noon ~ In Defense of Zane

    Celeste wandered. They’d bested the spectre possessing Turf and thrown it into a bottle. Now that that was done, he had to burn off some energy, so he was going... somewhere. Definitely somewhere. Ah, there was a Floatzel in the square. It was somewhat odd to Celeste to see the place occupied...

    Sharpedo Bluff

    “For some reason, you can’t seem to see what’s going on here. You though Turf looked normal, too, but she... didn’t. I don’t think Maple can see it, either.” Celeste was annoyed. If he couldn’t hit the thing without getting fairy-burned, what was he supposed to do? Especially when he was...
  10. Shiny Phantump

    Sharpedo Bluff

    “Well then. This is... good? It’s probably good. Better than before, anyways. Progress.” Celeste tried to slip his horn beneath the creature before quickly slicing upwards, hoping to impale the thing upon his horn.

    Sharpedo Bluff

    Celeste seethed. That had better not mean what I think you meant, Diyem. “Turf, were not going to make you be a hero, you’re just a kid. However, there is a distinct difference between a non-hero and someone actively trying to kill people, and I’d really rather you not be the latter, either.”
  12. Shiny Phantump

    Sharpedo Bluff

    By the time Celeste was ready to react to the situation, Turf had already fired... and Brisa had already taken the hit. It had been aimed at him, though. Unlike the Rattata, escape wasn’t an option. Even if they left Brisa behind, Turf would have time to fire at them before they all funneled...

    Sharpedo Bluff

    Well, it was time to Wish. Being careful not to call up too much power and collapse himself, Celeste began to channel some of Ho-Oh’s energy into Turf. Allowing himself to bend to superstition a little, he whispered the prayer Salac used when casting her own wishes. He knew it wouldn’t affect...

    Sharpedo Bluff

    Celeste kept his voice down to a whisper. “Surf, I think we have very different ideas of what constitutes “nothing physically wrong.” Mine doesn’t include breathing out ominous black mist.” Worse, the mist coming from Turf more or less confirmed Celeste’s worst fears.

    Sharpedo Bluff

    Celeste nodded. “You had said some of the things made her feel better temporarily. Maybe I can at least help a little bit?” He forced a half-smile. “I guess it’s worth trying, at least.”

    Sharpedo Bluff

    “Brisa? Heh, it’s good to see you’re all in one piece.” Should he bring it up? The encounter they’d had while hunting had been making like a Rampardos in his headspace during what moments of consciousness he’d had while recovering. He had to broach the subject eventually. “So... About that...

    Threadmarks: R2 – Day 8, Morning ~ Turf's Illness

    Celeste couldn’t shake off the thoughts about the Rattata and Turf’s illness. He wandered his way back towards the bluff, hoping he could find them there... and maybe their parents, too. He’d offered to Wish on Turf before, and though his wishing was proving much more draining, he still...

    Treasure Town ~ Marowak Dojo

    Well, fuck. He’d thought the Rattata in the forest had a progressive stage of some sort of disease. He really hoped he was wrong. If Surf’s sibling ended up like that Rattata... It would break her. Should he say something? Warn everyone? He didn’t know... Well, he did know. He should. But...

    Treasure Town ~ Marowak Dojo

    Well, that explained why Surf expected Celeste to already know who her parents were. Seems like the kind who’d have a reputation. It also explained why they didn’t really invest in home security. He figured most petty thieves knew better than to target a duo who’d taken on two higher beings...

    Treasure Town ~ Marowak Dojo

    Augh, they were just dumping as much information as possible into as few words as possible. Had they no respect for the fact the group would remember it better with some proper storytelling? This was just an exposition dump. Hmph. At least there was no brooding romance subplot distracting from...
