...Well that's suspicious as hell, Cal remarked. What was he doing?!

Hang on, Owen interjected. Is there a way we can see what Truffle's doing right now, maybe...?

 

[Negrek]

Yeah. Where is he on the badge map?

 

[Namohysip]

He seems to be at his home for now.

[Nazo > Semifreddo]: Hey, this is Soul. Ivy just came out of her stone with a new look, a rose-mew look. She's pretty cute, you should come check it out. Down at the library at the moment, if you have time now.

At the cafeteria, Petram was going trying out some leppa cider to see if he was grownup enough. However, he didn’t like the taste as much as he would have preferred, and stared at the mostly full glass.

“Hmm… It seems I’m not big enough yet.” He sighed and placed his muzzle on the desk. “Why am I not big yet…?”

Then, he heard the badge ringing and looked at the message.

[Nazo > Semifreddo]: Hey, this is Soul. Ivy just came out of her stone with a new look, a rose-mew look. She's pretty cute, you should come check it out. Down at the library at the moment, if you have time now.

Oh. So even Ivy had grown up already. Fantastic…

Though, since when Roselia evolved into Mew? Did Ivy pull off an Esper?

Regardless, both his best friends have evolved and become fuller. He grew up… a little. Still not enough.

Petram stared at the cider, then at the badge, mulling over what to reply. Then, began typing a message…

[Semifreddo > Nazo]: Oh, nice. I’m a bit busy at the moment, but I’ll see to catch up with you two when I get the chance. I’ll message you when I have some free time.

With that message sent, the Vulpix withdrew his badge and stared again at the cider.

Not grownup yet…

He sighed again and placed the head back on the desk, before running a paw on the rim of the glass.

“What am I missing…?”

 

[Negrek]

Great news, it turns out the guy we thought was Silver is actually Giovanni and the guy we thought was Giovanni is actually Silver. Somebody swapped them for some fucking reason.

Anyway, they're both locked up now, but I dunno that we can keep them there forever. Or, you know, ought to. What the fuck do you all think we oughta do with them? This is way above my fucking pay grade.

 

[Disco]

Well, it's probably not a good idea to let them out until we solve everything. Who's to say the person using them won't try to use them again?

 

[Negrek]

Chip says he's working on a thing that'll reduce their power level or something--so even if somebody tries to take them over, they won't be able to do much.

 

[Disco]

I guess after that's finished they can be let out...

 

[Namohysip]

Hello, everyone. I have returned to Xerneas for the time being. We had a talk.

I am calling off the mission. The Tree of Life does not need to be invaded. Everything is safe.

 

[unrepentantAuthor]

Diyem I fuckin' warned ya t'pay mind to yer goddamn mind an' this is what happens? Get yer head on right this instant. I'm comin' t'have words with you!

 

[Virgil134]

Eh, what are you talking about, Diyem?! How is everything safe when Eien is still inside the tree?!

 

[Namohysip]

I followed your instructions perfectly and am completely aware of myself, Diyem replied to Brisa with what was certainly an annoyed frown.

Um, Diyem? Are you sure that's... normal? Remember, Eien is in the tree.

Everything is fine. The Tree is fine. Everything is okay. You don't need to do anything anymore.

Don't we need to go home?

Your home is here now. Go away.

Diyem... think carefully about this. Is this normal for you?

It's...

Diyem?

...Everything is... fine. Everything is... a̴s̸ ̶i̵t̸ ̷s̸h̷o̷u̵l̴d̷ ̴b̶e̸.

 

[unrepentantAuthor]

Chief, yer head ain't right.

We came here t'protect this world. Eien is sufferin' a Blacklight corruption, an' it's affectin' Xerneas, an' now you!

Get a goddamn grip. Now.

 

[Virgil134]

Uh... should we try to get him away from the tree?

 

[Cresselia92]

Erm… Sir? I would suggest thee to focus and try to regain the bearings in thy noggin! Whatever thou art doing now, halt it at once. It is… not fine.

 

[Negrek]

Oh, for fuck's sake. What did I just fucking tell you? I'm coming over there to kick your ass personally, you stupid piece of shit.

 

[Dragonfree]

...What in God's fucking name. Who's going to get Diyem? No offense but somehow I'm not sure a fucking Mudkip can drag him back to Destiny Village on his own.

 

[Disco]

Who can go to the Tree of Life right now?

 

[Shiny Phantump]

I am not presently busy, though I think I'd make quite the dreadful relationship counsellor. No experience in the field. If we are desperately short on better fits for the task, I could try to get there soon.
