    (warning, this chapter has more of Asaph being creepy in the same way that happened in chapter 32 but the event doesn't repeat) The next day was overcast, with a chill across the land, but not in a way that would seem to be an ill omen. The grounds lay thick with early morning fog that...

    Things are going to be very rough for the kids from here on out. I mean, they already were. But you know how it goes.

    I do plan on doing a rewrite...once I'm done. Which could be another 20 years for all I know ahahaha Is it unusual for a kid to learn how to play chess? I learned when I was around that age. Was never any good at it but I figured that most kids did that. What Asaph means about Jiri not quite...

    "Just go, it'll be fine. Have fun!" My father was engaged in his studies, having received a shipment of float stones from Unova, and had been insisting that I would only be bored while he and Helen were at work. Several months had passed, and the Fuschia exhibit had ended, leaving the Eye of...

    Corbin would be more "get this man arrested" because he sadly lacks the backbone for much more direct. But he would probably break Asaph's nose while they were waiting for the cops to show up.

    Jiri is a pretty messed up kid. Helen and Corbin aren't married (spoilers: yet) but they've been dating for a while. ngl if Helen ever found out what Asaph did she would throw him in the smelter.

    About the warning, you know, it's funny but nobody has ever brought it up before you. Some rickshaws are motorized or pulled by other animals and I would imagine they wouldn't be sending a human-run one out in the snow. They're a classy hotel, not the imperial family. Jiri's downward spiral...

    At that point I had gotten used to it. Being an adult was wonderful, my dreams seeming so much closer. Not that I had any specifics in mind at that point. I knew I wanted an airship, but no specific works came to mind. An image had begun to take place where all the displays would be in the...

    (WARNING! This chapter contains uh....big spoilers here so if you want to avoid that, stop reading when they leave the party. It doesn't go into any detail but it's clear what happened) Everything was finally together, every detail arranged down to the finest. The exhibit was at last upon...

    Spring went into summer, and again into autumn, and again into winter. The great wave came and went to much fanfare, the festival presided over by a former victor that my father was more than excited to meet. The idea of a sporting star being the target of so much adoration was at first...

    I'd of late been pondering that I needed to be more adept at my research of modern art. Not the style; that tended to be an incomprehensible mess of pretension and posturing. But simply the art currently being produced. What future classics was I missing out on? Veronica and Asaph and I had...

    (apparently I gave the wrong chapter threadmark in the last few idk how that happened) A few months later, I had managed to find a suitable buyer for the Pikachu netsuke and a few other items, and that was the most I could say about that time. Veronica and Asaph had avoided speaking of the...

    Ooh so many things to reply to! Though I'll keep it brief. Again, a lot of the issues of description are owing to how long ago this was written. I plan on doing a rewrite once it's finished but who knows how long that'll be. I also didn't have a beta reader for...like...a decade at least. I...

    Haha oh wow that's a lot to take in here! A lot of the stuff you're pointing out is basically just *because* the story is 20+ years old. Nowadays this fic takes at least a month to write a single chapter because of all the description I put in, so a lot of what you're saying is fixed as the...

    The night had refreshed us, and we were awakened by the morning call of a Dodrio from a distant farm. Veronica yawned and stretched her arms out to brush against the wall. She seemed untroubled, and that she had slept through the night relaxed me as well. "Pleasant dreams?" I asked, standing...

    There was a phenomenal magic in the air, the mid-November snow falling gently from the heavens as I came down the long driveway to Asaph's mansion. It was enough to make me forget, at least for a moment, that I'd had to take the bus and walk from the highway, but it had been a pleasant enough...
