    The Sap Sipper

    Laura laughed sheepishly and gripped her glass tightly. "Well, there's me, there's Gladion, there's Odette... Or at least, I think so. I might not even be onto something with this, but it sure was fucking weird that the first person I spoke to also had experience with genetically engineered...

    Dorm Hall - 3rd Floor

    "Niccce. Firsst, I gotta teach you how to ssswear." This was going to be the beginning of a wonderful friendship, that would hopefully cause many problems for a large number of humans. "Ha-zel, do you know what fffuck means?" Sleet couldn't be happier with how her evening was turning out...

    The Sap Sipper

    Laura chuckled nervously. "Yeah, I've been there. I mean, that sounds a lot like me. I've shelled out to spectate live at my local gym a few times, but I've never been to anything like this. Howls, I'm barely halfway into my first circuit, even. My friends have been doing circuits since before...

    The Sap Sipper

    Neither of them seemed to lead the way, exactly, but by walking with each other in a vaguely directionless way, they found themselves at a table near the bar top. That was alright by Laura, it meant not having to cross an empty room to order drinks. She swallowed the usual awkward nonsense she...

    Dazzling Lake

    Laura stifled a snicker at Odile, who seemed like the goofy demonic type, prone to the same kind of mischief as ghosts, fae, and some dark-type lines. Probably still hideously dangerous, and obviously putting a heavy toll on her partner, but silly. That was easier to deal with than she'd...

    The Sap Sipper

    Laura shrugged, scratching the back of her neck. "I, uh... don't know if I am. Don't a lot of countries have a legal age of twenty, twenty-one? But like, they must serve mocktails and shit, right? It's not exactly packed in here, they'll serve us." She waved over at the octillery tending bar...

    The Sap Sipper

    Despite how well her chance meeting at the lake had gone, Laura was full of jitters. Everywhere was either busy, and therefore exhausting, or empty, and therefore bound to make her feel like crap. Mal and Sleet had both fucked off somewhere. She was thirsty. Ugh. Time to try out this 'Sap...

    Dorm Hall - 3rd Floor

    "Yyyeah, sssome humans are better at figurin' 'mon out," said Sleet, with an elaborate waggle of her hand which roughly meant [this issue is complicated and annoys me]. "Good luck learrnin' more, Ha-zel. You'll learrn fassst, I think." Actually, this could be fun and useful. Hazel could hardly...

    Dazzling Lake

    "He'd better," quipped Laura, although she ended up kinda mumbling it. Goddamnit. She put her number into Odette's phone and felt kinda wobbly about it. When was the last time anyone had wnated her number, for any reason? Did this make them friends? Was it too soon to say they were friends? She...

    Dorm Hall - 3rd Floor

    Sleet nodded, and stroked her chin with the back of her fingers. "'Kay. Cool. Did you jussst not ssspeak be-fore to-day?" Haha holy shit how frustrating would that be? It pissed Sleet off enough to have shit enunciation, to the point where she just signed all the time instead and made fun of...

    Dazzling Lake

    Howls, it was weird actually cooperating with someone on uncovering the truth. She was so used to doing everything alone except for her team. Laura smiled, and something felt weird inside her body, like it was full or charged up or something. "Hey, sounds good. I'm having weird connection...

    Dorm Hall - 3rd Floor

    "Yooo, nice. Youu'rre prretty good for a newbie." Weird grammar, which might just be a chimera brain thing, you never knew, but this one was obviously smart. A day's worth of lessons, and already that articulate? It wasn't textbook or anything, but this one learned fast. Cool. Worth talking to...

    Dorm Hall - 3rd Floor

    Laura and Malachai weren't around, but neither was Hazel alone on the third floor. Lounging on a sofa in the hallway was Sleet, studying a pamphlet about Kunolo Island, eyes narrowed. She looked up from the pages as Hazel arrived, and grinned. "Youu arre a sstrrange one," she remarked, looking...

    Dazzling Lake

    Laura blanched. "Yikes. That's... fucked up." She frowned, and put a knuckle to her mouth. "I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with all that. Best of luck, I guess? Hmm... The other guy I met said his fam were involved in dodgy shit. Starting to worry about my own parents now, ahaha..." Malachai...

    Dazzling Lake

    Laura did the calculations in her head. Not a bad typing. Ice-type moves if she really wanted to win. Depending on how fast Odile was when she was 'big', Sleet might actually have a better matchup than Mal... and if she was ruthless, the correct move was to stall, not sweep. But it felt a bit...

    Dazzling Lake

    "Oh, what the fuck," blurted Laura, as Odile transformed. "Wolves alive, that's a hell of a trick." So, Odette had been pulled to multiple events, but none alike. By inference, they weren't all down to this Xanatos guy. So... keep investigating? Bloody hell. And then there was Odile's...

    Dazzling Lake

    Laura's eyebrow rose very nearly off her face. That was a lot. Legendary? Vessel? "Okay, I'd figured something was weird about those portals and all that, but you sound like you know you're from a different world. And... weirdly comfortable with it. Odette – it is Odette, right? – do you have...

    Dazzling Lake

    <She is entirely correct. The fish are too small.> Laura ignored Malachai and peered at the strange little bush of a creature, wondering what sort of 'mon she even was. Didn't look much like anything she was familiar, and if she'd had to guess, she'd have said 'regional tangela subspecies' at a...

    Dazzling Lake

    Laura waved awkwardly. This didn't seem like the type of person to carry out weird, violent threats. And she was... Kalosien? Probably. "Uh, bonjour, I mean, hello." Shit, why did she say bonjour. That was dumb, she sounded dumb. "I'm Laura, I'm here for that Festival thing. You too?" Malachai...

    Dazzling Lake

    <Find anything yet?> <Small fish. Sufficient for now.> <Well then come back up, I can't wait around here forever, and I think some of the fucking weirdos from the ship are coming by.> <Very well.> Laura waited, drumming her fingers on one arm and rocking a little as she squatted on the...
