    Inner Focus Training Arena

    Laura chewed her lip, not sure if it was okay to ask out of pure curiosity. But Jade was already talking about it. It was fine, probably. "What was it you were looking for, when you did that kind of thing?" she asked. "I keep wondering if the guys you've messed with are anything like my lot."...

    "Uh, sorta..." Laura scratched her shoulder and dropped her eyes. "Most of my snooping around was online, you can find out a ton of shit with enough persistence on a search engine. Not really helpful here, though..." <There's more. Take pride, girl.> ...Fine. Augh. "But," she continued...

    Inner Focus Training Arena

    Malachai made an inquisitive rumble, but the Jade had already moved on. He huffed, and examined her companion. An interesting electric-type to be sure, with avian features on a 'mon so evidently not a bird. <Perhaps we could grant ourselves time enough to battle, before nightfall,> he...

    Inner Focus Training Arena

    "Probably for the best," Laura replied, fidgeting with her wrist. "Better to stay in groups, right? God it feels so bloody weird to be worried about getting, you know. Vanishing." Malachai, satisfied with their apparent safety, turned his attention to Jade, and her stare. <Perhaps you are...

    Inner Focus Training Arena

    Huh. It was kinda weird getting a good text from a friend for once, instead of corporate or scambot messages or some horrible bullshit from Dad. A friend... An ally, at least. Friend would be nice, though. Laura had no trouble making the decision to head down to the training area. It helped...

    Water Veil Cove

    Laura peered at Gladion's device for a concerted minute. Looked like network logins worked a little differently in his universe. Nothing unfixable... "Think I got it for you," she said, with a nervous laugh. "I'm sending you a message... there. You see it?" The phone buzzed. Nice. "Okay...

    Water Veil Cove

    Laura nodded, pursed her lips, and shoved her hands in her pockets. "Yeah... Don't know if that means we can trust everyone on the boat, though. Heard there was some guy who went off about killing people and attacked someone. But... at least I—" She felt her heart push at her ribs. C'mon, just...

    Water Veil Cove

    Laura blanched. "There are so goddamn many yellow psychics, though. Abra line, drowzee line, pacific raichu... if you include everything possible, it'll be a hell of a job to narrow down." Malachai made a warbling growl of agreement. The island, or these events, were making him exceptionally...

    Water Veil Cove

    Laura processed first the apparent truth that Odette knew her world's Gladion, which was a touch unnerving, and then Odette calling her 'friend'. Gosh. Already? That was a good thing, but howls, what if she fucked up now? Malachai chuckled darkly at Odile's threat, and Laura headed up an...

    Water Veil Cove

    Laura waved an awkward greeting. Bickering with her team for half an hour had put her behind everyone. "Heya, Odette. You and your partner doing alright today...?" Malachai snorted in what sounded like derision for Odile's current state.

    "Three people? Howls. And yeah, if you've met another person with that link... I don't know what the fuck is going on, but it's something, and I don't fucking like it." Laura shook out her shoulders and shuddered. "Starting to think we should be sticking to small groups for safety's sake...

    Water Veil Cove

    Laura hugged one arm to her side and let her face fall into a dry grimace. She didn't think she counted as 'extrovert' or 'wannabe detective' and maybe that meant Gladion would tolerate having her around? Guessing social norms was fucking exhausting. Fuck it, if she made a faux pas, it wasn't...

    Water Veil Cove

    <Hello there, Hazel,> replied Malachai, in dry, bassy telepathy. <No need to shout.> He landed with such a strong a wingbeat to arrest his descent that a long stretch of loose sand was flung up and about to be scattered by the wind, and promptly lowered his neck to the beach to let Laura step...

    Water Veil Cove

    Laura's morning began with a fight. Not a battle, that would've been tooo much fun. No, she got in a fight with her ace pokémon. Both of them. "Youu don't trust Sleet, or sssomethin'?" the inteleon rasped. "I swearrr to fuckin' gods they fffuckin' killed someone, bitch." <The lizard is...

    Sleet's Odor Sleuth picked up some interesting info.

    The Sap Sipper

    Ouch. Nineteen was pretty late. How old was Jade, anyway? Maybe about seventeen, or something? Or like, a really fucking tall fifteen year-old. Maybe. Especially if she was the 'aged by fucked up traumatic shit' type. Was Laura that type? She sure seemed to be headed that way. "It's okay," she...

    The Sap Sipper

    Laura gave herself a moment, and willed the emotions back down. She could be upset later. Always 'later', as if there was ever going to be a good time to get extremely fucking upset. "Well, while I was away from home for uni, my... My purrloin went missing. 'Ran away', my parents said. Decided...

    The Sap Sipper

    "Nah, I saw loads of people with ostensible ordinary 'mon while I was on the ship," agreed Laura. "And my 'mon, including the ones with me here, are pretty ordinary. But... Well, it's like this." She'd played out conversations like this over and over again in her head, usually wondering if...

    The Sap Sipper

    "Me? No. No, the ones I've been dealing with aren't... like that. It's weird, actually... You know, I don't know how to talk about it? Before this trip I don't think I ever actually talked about any of it to other humans. Hell, I barely kept most of my team in the loop, just in case. It sort...

    The Sap Sipper

    Laura nodded, a little too fervently. Was Jade implying she had had run-ins of her own? Hard to tell. Increasingly anxiety-inducing. Better plough on. "Um, yeah. Well, I mean, not with doing any experiments myself. Just, the organisation I'm, uh, investigating... They seem to be making a bunch...
