    The Dragons' Maw

    Laura choked on air, eyes snapping wide. Sleet seemed to try to remain impassive, but a shit-eating reptile grin spread wider and wider over her face until her stupid pink-white lizard tongue stuck right out of her mouth as she snickered devilishly. [Actually, it's pretty much a nickname,] she...

    The Dragons' Maw

    Laura stepped inside, and looked around for Gladion. Having booths everywhere suited her just fine, she preferred the privacy, but it did make it hard to spot her friend, and she didn't really want to have to ask a member of staff... but there, she could see a piscine tail and a scaly mammalian...

    "Will do, May," replied Laura, wondering what happened to this kid to make her seem half her age again at least. "And yeah, same here, Spirit." <Good fortune.> Malachai nodded to them both, closing his eyes a moment, and then reached out to tap his ball with a wingtip, vanishing into it in a...

    Main Hall - Cotton Down Lounge

    Laura's fingers twitched as she scrambled for what to say. "Oh. Well, I'm glad. And thank you." She sucked her teeth for a moment. "I'm not sure where Orzo and Clink are. Maybe the infirmary, maybe somewhere more private? May, if you like, we can trade numbers, and I'll let you know if I find...

    Overgrow Forest

    Laura watched as the exchange took place, trying to memorise the details. Modest and unassuming as Shaymin was, she was clearly an extraordinary being. 'God', she didn't know about, but extraordinary, most certainly. Malachai remained quiet, possibly disconcerted by Shaymin's response to his...

    Main Hall - Cotton Down Lounge

    Ghost powers...? Due cause? Laura's head buzzed, but before her thoughts could coalesce into something useful, Malachai leaned down with a guttural hissing to lock eyes with Spirit. His sending was uncharacteristically intense, accompanied by the krookodile-like sound coming from his throat...

    Laura nodded carefully, feeling intensely uncomfortable at the notion that one hoopa would eliminate and impersonate another. "If the perpetrator is Hoopa, maybe we could cross-reference the attacks with times he was around Xavian? If you're right, but Xavian thinks that's his real partner...

    Malachai leaned down, a draconic grin alighting tentatively on his snout. <Fascinating. You dismiss your part in your world's safety, and your partner's service to a god, to speak of current matters. How pragmatic.> "As much as I'd fucking love to hear about that," said Laura, a little...

    "Holy shit," murmured Laura. <Such a tiny god,> sent Malachai. His tone felt... gentle. Sleet said nothing; she only stared.

    Laura nodded, looking sheepish. "Yeah, that's Malachai. I'm doing the Galar League with him and the rest of my team, but it's not really... I have some unrelated business that's more important, you know? Actually, it sure seems like everyone I meet on this island has got something like that...

    Main Hall - Cotton Down Lounge

    Laura bowed reflexively to Spirit, signing an acknowledgement of her strength. It was harder to tell with 'mon that used casting over physical channelling, but she sure felt like she was strong. "I was, yeah. Nice to meet you both. I take it you're also trying to investigate this serial...

    "Oh, shit, sorry—" Actually, the girl had been the one to run into Laura, but that was what being Galarian did to you. Compulsive apologies, a predilection for complaining about weather, and a natural affinity for queues. "Oh, you're, um— Actually, I don't think I know you...?" Pretty sure...

    Overgrow Forest

    Laura ran a hand through her hair, nails pressing into her scalp. "There are too many possibilities. Orzo and/or Clink are actually impostors, Orzo and/or Clink are working with other 'mon, Orzo and/or Clink were poisoned to lead us to false conclusions... We ought to question them, I guess?"...

    "It's disturbing to think that he's getting noticeably stronger this fast," muttered Laura. "Maybe there's more to it than we can guess. Either way, we ought to prepare. Strategise." Laura grit her teeth, and reached for Sleet's ball. It had taken some serious negotiation to get her to stay at...

    Overgrow Forest

    Laura grinned and nodded firmly. "Yeah. I feel more confident of good results and our mutual safety, sticking together like this." Malachai sent a flood of information her way. <Aggron filled me in on what's been discovered besides the obvious.> "So, the energies here are pretty consistent...

    Overgrow Forest

    Malachai needed a minute to plot a low-risk landing, and as he circled around, more figures became visible throough the trees. Jade made it out okay, then. Good. And according to Malachai, the aggron was partners with one 'Steven'. Laura wasn't the biggest overseas League buff in Galar, or...

    Overgrow Forest

    Balancing the demands of both her pokémon partners and trying to get enough sleep to prop up her own dwindling energy was a tough ask already, and solo investigation was a crazy, stupid thing to be doing on top of that. And that was without considering the threat of abduction, which she wasn't...

    Very excited to sign up for that one, but Free, Chibi and I will be hanging out in person until the 27th Artfight is taking up July for a lot of us

    Torrent Beach

    Malachai stared at Aggron for a moment, the lingering gusts of his windstorm still whistling in his ears. In the midst of battle, he could hear an opponent's heart beat, their lungs fill and empty, whenever they drew close. Malachai drew close now, and listened. Aggron's pulse didn't sound...
