Gladion smiled. "Thanks. I know what you're doing is, too. Even if we haven't gotten to that point in time where I come from yet." [I am also glad you did it,] Hazel signed to him, [I am thinking it turned out nicely for me.] <><><><><>

Gladion looked away. "Yeah. But I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. There's... a lot of things that have lead me where I am. Not all of them are good. But in the end, they- we all got out. Probably all got out pretty young, too. It could be a lot worse in a lot of ways. Worse for...

"Yep." Gladion crossed his arms. "Cut a bloody path through the island on the way out, but no one has seen or heard of them since. Was bad enough to be one of those occasions where Interpol gets cleared to actually do something and crack down on the people responsible. They whole organization is...

Gladion was startled as Laura released Malachai. He had not been expecting that, and having the table suddenly wrapped in shadow was an imposing surprise. “That’s the bit that doesn’t happen in my world. Even the most intelligent species out there won’t use language in the typical sense of the...

Gladion shivered. "Damn..." [Malachai and I will be keeping you two safe now! Probably Sleet too.] Gladion noticed she didn't use the sign she'd told him had represented Sleet's name. He'd have to ask her about that at a more appropriate time. "But still, not the sort of experience you...

Gladion nodded. “Especially the Alakazam. I feel for his shit luck if it’s not him, but I can’t say it’s looking anything but worse for him.” Hazel looked at Gladion, then back at Laura. He hadn’t answered her question. [He was stabbing Gl-] He waved a hand to cut her off. “He did not...

Gladion waved back. Hazel chirped and signed [Hi Laura] at her. “Only tea so far. Seems like I’ll be dependent on caffeine by the time I get off this island. Yesterday, we figured out that everyone’s still being kept on the island, somewhere psychic powers can’t detect them. The rest was…”...

Gladion needed a break. Luckily he’d been early to be questioned and got to excuse himself after that, but it meant most everyone else he knew was still busy. Laura seemed to have slept in or something sane, though, because he hadn’t seen her since things went from bad to worse. Conversation...

Once the group had collected enough people- or, in Gladion's opinion, too many people, they set out for the cove. <><><><><>

Gladion shrugged. “Nothing to be done about it. I did send out a few other messages, but you’re the first to answer. Ought to give them a bit to answer, I think. May I ask who the other people are, just in case I run into them?”

Gladion sighed. “Y-You’re welcome? I think you just set a new record for the weirdest thing I’ve dealt with in the past few days. I’m impressed you managed to beat the previous record holder, who was…” He mimed getting out a piece of paper to check the contents. “Oh! Also you two...

Gladion saw two people walk into the cafe. Odette, and… also Odette again but more vampiric-looking this time. He leaned back in surprise. “Hey, Odette. Nice to see you, but…” He glanced towards Odile and back at her. “Who’s this? You got a goth identical twin or what?”

Admittedly, Gladion wasn’t 100% sure what the point of finding a mythical species here, but it had been a common goal and he felt obligated to follow up on his sighting. If this Manaphy was more like Wallace’s than like the sort he was familiar with, it wasn’t too hard to imagine the possible...

The two of them watched the Tropius mope off. Hazel whimpered. [I am sorry.] Instead of trying to call Coleane’s attention back to communicate that, Gladion just have Hazel a scratch on the back. “You did nothing wrong. Don’t apologize for existing.” <><><><><>

[It is okay,] Hazel signed. It took a moment for Gladion to start paying attention and translating again. [It is okay. I am being safe now.] “We’re alright. Just, watch out for Aether. No idea what they want with you, but it’s probably bad news.”

[I am living. That is already more than my other siblings are doing. They are in cr]- Hazel decided that “cryogenic stasis” would take too long to spell. [are frozen.] Gladion’s tone was bitter as he translated that. [I am needing this helmet to stay living, though. It is not comfortable. And...

Hazel seemed thrilled for a moment- but unfortunately Coleane just had to continue talking. [It was not being cool.] Gladion shook his head. “No. It wasn’t. They hurt her. A lot. I had to take her away to protect her.”

“Yeah, that’d be why. Really… unusual.” Lusamine also has a vested interest in things pertaining to “other worlds” but that’s none of my business. [I am Hazel. I am a bird actually. You are also a bird, yes? You are pretty.] Gladion, feeling awkward about it, translated that one word for word...

Gladion wondered if a Tropius eating a banana counted as cannibalism. Though, based on Coleane he could only suppose it didn’t. “Huh? Aether as in the foundation?” Hazel growled. [That is fuck.] She signed each word out phonetically so that Gladion would understand. Gladion laughed. “I’m not...

Gladion’s eyes widened. It was Hazel who replied first. [Hello. I am Hazel. Today is being full of surprises.] He stopped staring in order to translate for her. Minus the grammatical error. She turned to at him, curious, when he corrected it. He supposed she’d never really had to choose tenses...
