"Yeah, let's. Thanks for pulling me back there, you two." She sighed and turned away from Zane, who she almost felt sorry for. Almost. But Astrid certainly put him in his place. And good for Cynthian for speaking his mind this time.

Astrid put a paw between them while Cynthian restrained her. His vines didn't really have that firm a grip, so she almost overpowered him, but she got the message and stopped. Curio breathed in and out, in and out, trying to calm herself down. She still wanted to wipe that smug, self-pitying...

Curio stared at him for a moment, trying to process what he just said. No fucking way. This guy didn’t just say that; she tried to change the subject specifically because she wanted to drop this shit about Zane. She would’ve explained that to him, but— fuck it. She sprang forward and socked...

She didn’t respond to that either. She was as much of a sitting ducklett as he was, so she was as guilty as him for inaction. It didn’t stop Zane from rubbing her the wrong way. Well, crap. She didn’t want to make Owen mad, of all Pokemon. But what could she say? “I still dunno. Something...

Curio almost punched him for that one, but decided against it. He shouldn’t have brought up the possibility of them dying, but there were fewer stakes for dying in this world. It just didn’t sit right coming from him of all Pokemon. “Yeah, bub, have some awareness, for godsakes. Do you really...

“Aw, no, I can’t say I do.” She paced around at the same speed as Owen. “I mean, Diyem’s basically omniscient, right? Is there any chance Brisa and Starr are in a different world this time? Or maybe the signal is blocked somehow? Is this more of that mystery dungeon distortion crap?”

"Yeah, yeah, sounds really interestin'. Nice to hear you're so worried about their safety and all that."

"I mean, that doesn't sound like a terrible idea," Curio said. She was surprised by Zane's insight. Then he whipped out his badge to play a game (did they have video games in Cibus?) and that ruined any ounce of respect she might've had for him. "So, enjoying your game, there? I'm sure Brisa and...

"Well, thanks guys, I'm kind of flattered that you're all pitching in." "Yeah, because that always works in stuff like horror movies, and this fits the bill for some cosmic horror kind of shit right here." She shrugged. "I mean, yeah, it would cover a wider area, but what if we came across...

“Thanks, Nip,” she said with a smile. “You seem reliable.” And Owen? This was even better! She couldn’t get enough of that cute Charmander. Though she didn’t show that. “Where shall we start?”

“Oh, that’s great, fan-fucking-tastic! I’m fine, no, really, I’m fine!” She wasn’t fine. Oh, god, what if they died? She liked Starr. Brisa especially. But the last time she talked to her was when Brisa went to drown her sorrows. What if they never saw each other again to make amends? She didn’t...

“Wait, where the fuck are those two?!” Curio snapped. Never mind the fact she just went through another fight, never mind all that weirdness with Darkwhite and stuff. Brisa and Starr were nowhere to be seen. “Hey, painterly dog god, what happened to Brisa and Starr? Please tell me you found...
