Reviewed chapter 46 of Salvage.

Dropping a review on chapter 46 here! And hoping you actually catch this thread up sometime. :P

Dave gave Koamaru a skeptical look. "If you say so. Personally, you know, given Diyem and Pop and so on exist, of course it helps that they seem basically well-intentioned, as far as that goes, but I feel better in a universe where there's some kind of finite maximum amount of damage that one...

"Well, in my world there's stories about supernatural beings creating the world, too. Every culture has a more batshit one than the next. That doesn't mean it's true. When there's no tangible evidence of supernatural anything, then chances are there is no supernatural anything. One would think...

Dave wasn’t sure how to feel about his world being the odd one out in not having any fucking legendary Pokémon. Was that technically some kind of evidence in favor, if every other world had them…? Christ. “Yeah, uh, personally I’m not a huge fan of divine beings keeping things in balance...

Dave raised an eyebrow. "Nope. I mean, there are people who think they exist but they're weird nuts. All the supposed evidence is pathetic, obviously fake or so vague it doesn't indicate anything at all. They're just myths. Pretty fucking insane to come here and every random conspiracy theory...

8. Who rules in your world? TQftL never brings up government, but each region has its own human government, generally just standard representative democracies similar to what we have in the modern world. Ouen has an elected parliament and president. It's a fairly utopian world with little...

Dave squinted at him. Kid was really not getting the hint that he didn't need to come, but for the moment he welcomed the transparent topic change. He wasn't going anywhere until he'd had some food, anyway. And maybe painkillers. He pushed himself to his feet, shook out his mane and jumped off...

The kid looked conflicted as hell. Dave watched him, doubtful. "Well, yeah, that's why I said I was planning to go to the Tree of Life. Is there something you're desperate to ask him? Because if there is you may just want to visit the one in the Holding Cells, and not the one who's still out...

Dave clenched his jaw. Yeah, Soda didn't trust people much, did he. Not enough to have just fucking talked about what he was up to. "Well, I don't know how much you've talked, or how that whole conversation between you went, but you didn't seem to have a lot of love for him back at the meeting...

"Well, he said one of them was at the Tree of Life. Been meaning to try to find that one, see if he'd have any more information and how easy it'd be to convince him his mind is shot without Breaker. The last one he just said was hiding and he had no idea, so dunno how easy it'd be to find that...

Dave snapped awake from where he'd dozed off on the sofa in an awkward position. He'd been trying to look up information on Substitutes, last he remembered, maybe had a couple too many beers in the process. Fuck. He shifted his aching body to be more comfortable. Didn't help the headache...

Dave is pretty unsettled by this but clings to the fact he didn't in the end. He adamantly assures Soda, again, that the one really at fault here is whatever bastard tailored his memories to whatever would make him want to do this at almost any cost, whose face he really cannot wait to kick in.

Dave returns to the holding cells the next day with more food and beer to talk to the Soda substitute again. He tries to mostly avoid the subject of the plan or Soda's memories this time; instead he gripes about people being idiots, asks about more of what the God Squad has been up to and Soda's...

Soda didn't look remotely fine. Dave exhaled slowly. "Yeah. See you tomorrow. Enjoy the rest of the food." He nudged the extra beers through the slot as well. Soda could probably use some right about now. Fuck. Tomorrow he'd just go for chitchat. <><><><><>

Beta-read three chapters of Spiteful Murkrow's Context Switch (third to be published).

Dave stared at him, his chest tightening. "Look, no, fuck that. You're a victim in all this. The whole plan's got someone else pulling the strings, using you to achieve their own ends. You're a guy who goes around rescuing Cola and liberating Hells and adopting their screaming nightmare demons...

Huh. And Jesus. Realizing basic things about your life had just fucking vanished on you when you weren't thinking about them couldn't be fun. Automatically he thought of his great-grandmother developing Alzheimer's over the years before she'd died back when he was a kid, the fucking look on her...

"Fair, I guess." He couldn't help but wonder if his broken memory came into it too. But Soda had probably had enough of being interrogated on that. "You remember how old you were back on your planet, with Adne, before the lockout?"
