Jesse growled in discomfort. "What does the game matter, anyway? What happens if I walk right out that door and back to Zeke's two-bit cabin?"

Luz shrugged. "We just got finished with our last throwdown, and we're restin' up ready fer the next mission. As fer yer good self, you're free to turn it down, but there's a room at the guildhouse in Destiny Village if y'want it. Could get you set up with a team badge and communicator, yer own...

"No," said Jesse, grimly. "There ain't."

Jesse's grin faltered. "He conceded, right? Game's over, y'all." One eye twitched a little at the idea of getting his clothes off among company.

"Well let's see, maybe I can summarise," said Luz, folding her arms and tapping her chin with one claw. "But this is gonna be a rough ride even in condensed form, I tell ya! Get ready!" She barely waited for Kate to mentally brace herself before launching into a prepared speech. She gave...

Jesse smirked to himself. Surely the poor lycanroc would back out of this rather than feel Jesse's paws all over him. Poor fella would surely melt like so much ice in the desert sun. "Well, Lee. Looks like we have ourselves an opportunity t'get to know each other better. Are y'happy to let me go...

Jesse pawed at his cheek fur and groaned. "Whyyyyyy does nothin' ever make any goddamn sense in this reality?" He steadied himself against Lee. "Yeah, Zeke, we got the journals. Why d'you ask? And, uh, Wii. Gimme somethin' to make yer ears burn, will'ya?"

Luz' fanged grin grew wider with every sentence she heard out of the newcomer. What an unexpected delight, to meet someone who'd yet to learn anything at all about Cibus. "Well let's see," she said, counting off points on her digits. "My name is Luz Escarpa, the 'zeraora' bit is just a courtesy...

"How d'you do?" said Luz, beaming at the opportunity to make a new friend. Or nemesis, as it may be! "I'm Zeraora Luz, ultra shade and member of Team Spectrum. Welcome to Cibus, it's a pleasure t'make yer acquaintance!" She proffered a massive black paw for a shake.

Luz arrived at an easy jog, all smiles and electric-blue sparks. "Quite the startlin' situation," she remarked. "I volunteer fer the next bit!" She strode towards the meteor, wondering with a shiver of anticipation whether the figure within would be a friend or foe...

Brisa looked back anxiously at Maple, but Starr kept dragging her away, saying something about her being a moron. Luz, meanwhile, was perfectly at liberty to tag along. And delighted to do so, too! "Sign me up, partner!" purred the zeraora-shade. "Maybe it'll be another relevant piece of the...

"Right you are." Jesse strode back into the cabin's living area with Lee in tow and faced the Wii. "Got any datin' options fer m'self and my pal here, you fuckin' decrepit contraption?"

Jesse smirked to himself. "Well, I ain't especially suspicious of anyone right now, and everythin' is bullshit. Let's kill time. What say you 'n' I go on a date, partner?"

Jesse sighed. "Yeah, yeah, sure thing I guess." He planted the empty can on Zeke's desk. "We can hear you from wherever 'cause of how this shit works. If y'need us, just call, I guess." Jesse gave Lee's back a pat and head back to the lobby.

Jesse downed the energy drink with a grimace. It wouldn't help with the temporal bullshit, but whatever. "Hey, thanks pal. Anyway, uh, hate to break it to ya, Zeke, but that clock thing ya got sure looks like a regular countdown timer t'me. Got about a day and six hours left on it."

Brisa nodded, frowning. "Yeah, that's right. It ain't hard proof, but my gut says Giovanni's siphoning Diyem's shadows fer his goddamn Eternatus experiments, and... and Joule's radiance." The pieces were starting to look like they fit together. Goddamnit, if she just had the rest of them–...

"Let's be smart about this," said Brisa. "He said it burned to be here, and he said before that he couldn't be here without the consent of the powers that be. That's Pop and Buffet, I guess? Let's check with them if they're aware of a foreign Dark Matter arrivin' that they may not know is Diyem...

Brisa's hackles went up in the worst fucking way. "One of two things is true. He managed to send himself, or he's been dragged here. I'll bet a fuckin' fang this is Giovanni's doin'." If there's a way to help you, say so NOW. Now, Diyem!

Scenes I'd like to attend with Brisa: Group, Karat, Shield, Isle of Light, Soda Scenes I'd like to attend with Luz: Group, Karat, Chip, Shield, Isle of Light

Well, that was better than nothing. Brisa gave a grateful, somewhat heavy-hearted nod to Starr as she went to speak with Shield. Gods, what had Starr had to deal with, back in her own world? Dreadful things, no doubt. Brisa wished her friend could share those troubles. Meanwhile, Shield, for...
