    Pokémon [COMPLETE] The Origin of Storms

    Spiteful Murkrow: Suddenly I'm imagining an alternate timeline where the aggron from Bad Idea time travels to the more recent past specifically to give Esaax grievous tail trauma. Some of the tech's new, some is scavenged and maintained to the best of it's owners' ability. Generally the tech...

    Pokémon [COMPLETE] The Origin of Storms

    Phoenixsong: Hi! :D Unown-script has been comprehensible to most things with eyes for as long as it's existed. Now, whether it's existed as long as the unown have is another question, and one I don't think I ever actually had an answer for. At some point in the series a character mentions unown...

    Spiteful Murkrow: Omg hi! Always a fun little thrill to get a reply. Yep, the nightmare sequence is meant to be a bit boggly! It's a dream, after all, which can be screwy enough without being the product of a psychic brain. And since it was the product of a psychic brain, I got to mess around...

    Pokémon [COMPLETE] The Origin of Storms

    Adamhuarts: Yeah, when it all comes down to it, Esaax essentially has a memory of dying, albeit weird sort of vicarious ones. And said memory is distorted by mismatched senses to boot. I kind of had the sense that a lot of people--of numerous species--would not really be equipped to handle that...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 17

    Chapter 17 – Lifeforce It was like resurrection. His spirit rose up from the depths of the nothingness that had been occupying him. His voice rose, as well, in a crescendo that kept growing with each repetition of the truth that had brought him back to his senses: “She’s here! She’s here!”...

    windskull: It may never cease to amaze (and amuse) me, how there'll be words that I fully intended to type that just did not materialize. And how I can reread the affected passages many, many times yet completely fail to see the missing words. Or rather, fail to not see them. I think a lot of...

    Pokémon [COMPLETE] The Origin of Storms

    OldschoolJohto: I think I meant the dream to be screwy and detached in general, but... maybe not to that extent. Whoops! The blurring of perspectives between Esaax and his trainer was a result of involuntary psychic shenanigans on his part--which, in retrospect, might have been clearer had I not...

    Raggy: Dear holy frick I wish you could've heard the noise I made at "kawaii" being substituted for "kwazai". Or the one brought out by DeLeo being called a "naruto puppet". Or the dumbass faces that accompanied each of the noises. People tend to be super spooked about resurrection/immortality...

    Chapter 16 – Balance Syr awoke to a very different scene. From where he was lying, he now had a sideways view of shattered floor tiles illuminated by scattered moonlight, as well as of an irregular hole in the wall through which Ntairow was leaning partway. There was also a sound in the air...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 15

    Chapter 15 – The Swarm There came a point when Ntairow’s patience for Karo’s speed—or rather his lack thereof—finally ran out. Without warning, she broke away from the party at a very fast run, ignoring the others’ shouted pleas to let them catch up. Syr might have been able to keep...

    Chapter 14 – Chasing a Rumor Esaax rushed recklessly through the streets of Convergence, which were fortunately more or less deserted at the time. Most of the local pokémon were diurnal, and with sunrise approaching, most of those who didn’t keep daytime hours were getting ready to go to...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 13

    Chapter 13 – X Esaax wasn’t unconscious for long. He awoke and immediately wished he hadn’t; he was fatigued and nauseated, and pain pounded in his head and seared down the length of his spine to the end of his tail. He tried to stand, but found that he couldn’t. Instead, he fell into a...

    Pokémon [COMPLETE] The Origin of Storms

    Tanuki: Glad the jargon's going over well! Sometimes I've had my doubts about it because, cards on the table, I frequently didn't (and don't) entirely know what I'm on about. :B So for anything along those lines that I've gotten right, odds are I've just sort of fallen bass ackwards into...

    Namohysip: I just had this image of a cute little sewaddle just kind of doodling up to Esaax and gently nibbling at his ankle and then Esaax screams bloody murder and just disintegrates into diced blue tomatoes. I am laughing way too fircking hard at this, and I've been needing a good laugh, I...

    Pokémon [COMPLETE] The Origin of Storms

    Namohysip: I think, with regards to the hovering questions and untied plot threads, that it might be something of a jerk move to not be completely upfront about them at this point. So, cards on the table: many, if not most of the questions get answered. Some of them here, some of them elsewhere...

    Namohysip: I don't know if "irritating" was intended as a compliment re: the cliffhanger, but it sure as heck feels like one. >:D If I didn't know better, I'd say "Faurur" was one of those names I deliberately designed to be mistyped. See also: Esaax. And Adn. Oh god, Adn. Why did I have to...

    Chapter 12 – Hunter of the Shadows As silently as he could, Esaax staggered through the forest outside of Convergence. He’d put a considerable distance between himself and the Haven in quite a short time, having run at full speed the entire way. But now he was slowed down by exhaustion and...

    canisaries: Wobbuffet are weird as hell. :D Thery're weird as hell, and I love them for it. I think that's something that most if not all of my favorite pokémon have in common. Almost none of them have much if any basis in real animals, which I think offers all the more room for creative...

    Namohysip: I think I'll always be pleasantly surprised whenever someone speaks well of the session scene, seeing as I have made just so very much fun of myself over the years because of it, heh. It's a big ol' infodump, but it does get the job done. I'd love to take full credit for the timing...

    Pokémon [COMPLETE] The Origin of Storms

    Namohysip: I can't even remember what my line of thinking for keeping his species in the dark (unintentional pun) for that long was, so I'm just going to figure there probably wasn't one. Iirc the other chapterfics are a little better about establishing that sort of thing early, but it's...
