"Well, if you both have the same soul, how different can you be?" Maybe that wasn't the right way to think about it. Was he supposed to have the same soul as Joule? It didn't feel like he did. Joule didn't seem that different from Rocky, but he did seem really different from Cal or Mia or...

"He's cute!" Rocky smiled and rested his chin on the palm of his hand. "Do you think he'll grow up to be like you, then? If he can't get power from the tree, he can still get it from other places, can't he?"

"You can't guess?" Rocky crossed his arms, hunching his shoulders against the wind. After a moment he asked, "Were you little like Cola when you were, umm, born? Did you hatch from an egg, too, or did you kind of just"--he waggled his fingers on empty air--"happen?"

Twenty-four hours remain in Day Four. The vote stands thus: Equitial: 2 (HelloYellow17, Fusion) HelloYellow17: 1 (Mellow) SparklingEspeon: 2 (elyvorg, Namohysip)

"Yes, I saw Cola," Rocky said. "He wanted me to come talk to you. He got scared... Because of a joke you made about Joule. Like if you absorbed Cola, you'd be able to make good jokes?" Rocky prodded at the tower's flagstones with a toe. "Cola thought that was pretty scary, because he thought...

Rocky jumped when the light made him teleport--that hadn't happened before! He wanted to go over to the edge and look out over everything. Maybe he'd be able to see all the way to Treasure Town from up here! Seeing Pop again turned his excitement straight to guilt, though. "Yeah," he said...

Rocky didn't start to feel apprehensive until he was actually climbing the hill towards Destiny Tower. After only a quick stop at the shed to discuss things with Mudkip, he'd set off towards the tower, determined to finally talk to Pop and fix everything. Whatever Soda and Mudkip said, Pop was a...

Nate is suitably impressed by this conclusion and thanks the others for their help with it. He leaves salty that other people get to turn into cool things while he's stuck as a mudkip forever.

(( Just as an FYI, DawningWinds likely won't be able to participate this phase due to an IRL emergency. ))

Nate's going to check in with Buffet and see if he's feeling better after the Worldcore incident. Did he by any chance learn anything about Sword while she was kind of, umm, part of him? He also wants to know what Buffet makes of Gio/Silver being different species on Telum than they are here...

"Yes!" Rocky said. "The best base ever!" It was too bad they couldn't make it today because of... Hmm. Well, it didn't really matter. They'd build one later! After they saved Cola, and found a way to become real people so they didn't need to worry about Joule, either! Maybe Soda really could...

"It feels pretty good!" Rocky said, and was only half successful at stifling a giggle. It always felt funny when people touched his core. "Kind of warm. Almost like when Pop made it so I couldn't hear Mudkip anymore!" Rocky made the golden band around his core glow, puffing out his chest as...

Rocky smiled a little when Puddle and Cola joined together again. He was a bit jealous--of course they were going to have a lot of fun together! And Rocky had never even gotten to hang out with Cola once. But that was all Soda's fault. He'd had to show up and cause trouble when they were just...

Dave tossed and turned, anger simmering restlessly in his mind. The Luxio who'd simply given up in the face of the slightest scrutiny, refused to even mount a defense; her fate was on her, had left them no goddamn choice. Suspicions shifting, targets he burningly wanted to ask some fucking...

Rocky nodded slowly, his core shuddering faintly in his chest. But there was no way he could hope to get Cola away from Soda now. "Yes," he said quietly. "It's up to you, Cola."

Rocky's tail flicked, and his eyes stayed narrowed, but he didn't say anything more about Soda's power. "How about Cola goes with Puddle, then? He doesn't need to see Pop. You can put a veil on me if you want. I'll talk to Pop. And then we meet back here in a few days. Or... Or if things go bad...

Rocky tilted his head and narrowed his eyes. "You're starting to sound like Diyem when he's been around Xerneas for too long," he said to Soda. "It's the red energy, isn't it? From Eien? Makes you feel really friendly?" He flicked his fingers in an awkward imitation of the gesture Soda liked to...

"Really?" Rocky's tail swished behind him, and he drooped a bit. "I thought for sure Pop said there wasn't an arceus for that world. That's kind of weird, if he's made another one already... But anyway, that's okay if it won't work. I'll think of another plan!" Rocky's eyes glowed with pride...

Rocky's ears stood straight up when Cola bit down on Soda's arm, but he started to laugh once Soda shook him off, his entire torso rippling with the force of his guffaws. "Oh, wow! You're pretty scary, Cola!" But Soda wasn't mad, that was good. Maybe they could have fun out here after all...

Rocky kept a close eye on Soda--if he tried to snatch Cola, Rocky probably wouldn't be able to do much about it, but he was at least going to try. "Well, I don't see any problem with us both going together. I just wanted to make sure he knew how unhappy Cola was when he joked about absorbing him...
