☭ Falkner

@ancient-pokehistorian, forgot to tag you in the last one so here's the link You have been challenged by Proxy Gloam Furisode Girl Akiha!* *This is assuming she's not battling Informant!Falkner.

BATTLE THEME: xi - Garyou Tensei BATTLE INTRO: "It has been quite some time since I had a serious battle, but please, hold no quarter." This is a lie. VICTORY: "My! That was a lovely battle, thank you for your time." DEFEAT: "Perhaps I should've swapped out my team beforehand..." ASSIST: "It looks like you could use a hand. Two is better than one, is it not?" TAUNT: "I'm no novice to battles. You needn't treat me like your usual challengers." REACTING TO TAUNT: "That's no way to talk to a lady, you know. How crude." FLEE: "It seems I'll have to forfeit this match. This call is urgent, unfortunately, and I've no room to dawdle." REACTING TO FLEE: "Is... is there an emergency of some sort? Do you need me to do anything?" TIE: "Now this... this is certainly not a normal outcome. I don't mind coming back for a rematch, though. I did quite enjoy myself." PERFECT VICTORY: "...Is something the matter, sir? Something tells me today hasn't been your best..." FINISH MOVE: "I believe we've dragged this out for a tad too long. I'll do the honors, if you don't mind!"

BONUS: VS. Informant!Falk

Proxy Gloam would like to battle!

BATTLE THEME: Gram - Nibelungen BATTLE INTRO: "It's certainly been a while since our last match. It was... what, nine years? Well, this time, I'm here to test you, on behalf of the boss. No mind-reading, no aura powers. Just me in my human form, and the experience that I'm sure you've heard about from the others." VICTORY: "You've definitely gotten better about certain habits since we last fought. I'll be sure to put in a good word to Lady Shukukou when I report to her." DEFEAT: "I know I didn't come in with my A-Team, and I definitely held back a bit, but I'm thoroughly impressed. How in blazes have they not promoted you already? They're wasting good talent."ASSIST: "I'm here to back you up. The activity here's far beyond what the intel suggested, so you definitely can't do this alone. Leave the bulk of the fighting to us Proxies, and focus on keeping everyone else in the loop." TAUNT: "You were a lot more bold back then, Firmament. Did you mellow out over the years?" REACTING TO TAUNT: "Oh please, the small talk won't distract me. You should focus more on what you'll do next." FLEE: "Shit, an emergency call. Here, have some medicine for your team, I'll be back to finish what we started when I get a chance." REACTING TO FLEE: "Urgent matter? Can't be helped. I can come back later to finish your assessment." TIE: "Not bad. Not bad at all. Even if I intentionally hamstrung myself, matching me in a tie is something few people have ever pulled off. You should be proud of yourself!" PERFECT VICTORY: "Hmm... I'll have to make note of this. You don't need to worry about your position or anything, but I did notice a few things in our fight. I'll have to ask Lady Shukukou if I can come back to iron things out with you."FINISH MOVE: "I'll make this quick, since I've gotten enough info for this assessment. Want to see what a living legend can do? My treat to you."

"We don't, no. The individual responsible for bringing us here wouldn't drop us off without knowing we'd find it, but he also did not set anything up for us, knowing that." With the context of why they were here in the first place, neither were concerned for their safety, and that if the worst came to be, they would be bailed out before any harm came to them. So long as they didn't ruffle too many feathers, they'd be fine, not like they had any plans to cause trouble in the first place.

"We may be able to hold our own, both in a fight and when it comes to braving the elements, but ultimately, we would rather get something figured out. We're in a new place, and even if we were told this place is relatively tame compared to what we're used to, we'd still much rather have a roof over our heads." Fur only did so much to protect one from the weather, after all, not to mention safety.

"...So, you are similar to Her Highness in that you are from somewhere beyond the Gamble Galaxy."

Meta would return his attention to leading the way deeper into the ship as he spoke, but it was clear from the way he carried himself that he didn't need to be directly watching them in order to monitor them as they walked. Many of his skills were from the result of his own continued training, along with his long lifespan.

"Although it is clear that your home and her own are completely separate from one another, and that you have a means to return to it. Do you have somewhere that you are able to stay for the duration of your visit?"

It was really a question of whether or not they would want to stay onboard the Halberd, or if Meta would need to speak with Dedede about providing guest rooms for the two of them--which, unfortunately, would put them in the path of any potential ideas that Marx and Magolor might get into their heads.

But it wasn't like there was any peace and quiet aboard the Halberd, either--with some of the crew being lively in personality where interactions with one another were concerned. The quietest of the lot was Sailor Waddle Dee, and even he had his moments.

At least, if they stayed aboard the Halberd, they wouldn't need to worry about being in potential danger. The sheer amount of firepower the airship had meant that it was the safest place in all of Dream Land. They'd simply just have to worry about the possibility of being startled away by any cannon fire if a threat was spotted approaching the Halberd.

Thankfully, those instances were rare--practically nonexistent.

SOOOOOOO I keep forgetting to promo this blog and my other blogs but shhhhh. So have a quick and dirty one because I am too short on spoons to make an actual banner.

Ever wondered what it'd be like if Arceus ran a conspiracy to keep their realm safe? That people who seem completely like completely normal passersby could actually be human-Pokémon shapeshifters, some of whom are in service to said Arceus? Maybe even traveling to other worlds to work together with other Arceus and their Pantheons? Maybe add a smidge of darker themes for those who need that in their life? Then boy howdy, do I have something for you!

This is Lotus, your local RPC chaos cryptid, here to cook and sometimes actually deliver for once in her life. I've been on this hellsite for a VERY long time, but I could use some more new moots in my life, so if you could kindly help me spread the word and maybe check this blog, as well as my other ones out, that'd be amazing! Even if you can't figure out how to interact, even having more people to yap with would be amazing, so don't be shy about popping in to say hi!

"Fair enough. We try not to, due to our occupation, but since you insist... Yuuzuki Ibaraki, codename Gloam, and Proxy from the realm known colloquially as Shangri-la." If he wanted the information? She would provide.

"Likewise, my name's Tomohiko Suzumura. Like Yuu-chan, I'm also a Proxy, and we work both in keeping our realm safe and traveling to others as diplomats on behalf of our employer. That's... kind of how we ended up here, though again, it's a little more complicated than that."

If Meta Knight asked... he could only hope that he could keep up, and, more importantly, that he could believe their explanation.

"You can begin by giving your actual names." Meta would glance over his shoulder toward the two who were following him.

"I am aware of when a secondary name is given, and given that you have shown that you are not here for combat, there is no reason nor excuse to continue to hide behind your own. Thus, I will ask that you be completely truthful about who you are."

If they tried to refuse, then Meta had ways of getting that information from them--depending on the nature of the refusal. It really boiled down to whether the answers were going to come forth in the easy way, or the more difficult one.

Meta wasn't exactly picky with how he got answers, but he tended to prefer as little resistance as possible when it came to non-combative interrogations such as this one.

"Thank you." The pair would pick up their weapons, and after all of them had been stowed away and properly secured, they would follow after him. They would make a deliberate effort to stay close to him, not only to not get themselves lost, but also to allow him to "keep an eye on them," so to speak.

"If it helps you any, we'll answer any questions about ourselves that we can. There are some matters we cannot divulge due to the secretive nature of our occupation, but outside of that, we'll try our best to be as open and honest as possible. It's the least we can do to apologize for barging in uninvited." Besides, neither knew much of the setting beyond the bare basics, but they still knew more about him than vice-versa. It was only fair that they be the ones to talk about themselves first. Of course, as per usual, Buddy would let Gloam do most of the talking, but he wasn't planning on being silent, either.

Meta would silently watch these two strangers disarm themselves of all weaponry and place them closer to him than themselves. That was a clear signal of peaceful intent, and although he wouldn't yet let his guard down around them... at least he would be a bit more welcoming than before.

"Well met. I am Meta Knight--I am one of the defenders of the realm that you've found yourself in, known as Planet Popstar."

Well, that explained where Gloam and Buddy had wound up, at least.

Turning around, Meta would turn to head back inside--but not before saying something else to the pair.

"You may rearm yourselves. Once you do so, you are free to enter the ship."

With that, Meta would head back inside the ship himself--although if Gloam did things properly... she might be able to figure out just what sort of trauma he had been through to be so cold on the first meeting.

"That girl... running away from responsibility and throwing a tantrum like a child... I thought I had raised her better than that. I give her the finest foundation to build her life off of, and she still managed to squander it like a fool. My hope for her her was never the highest, mind, she was always a troublesome child. Too quiet and meek at the start, unable to keep herself together in the simplest of courtesy interactions. And the second she leaves my sight? She becomes completely unreasonable. At the very least, she is no longer marring the family name, and is no daughter of mine. So long as she keeps quiet, what she's doing and where she is is no concern of mine. Good riddance."

One failure of a daughter was bad enough, but having two truly made him feel sick. Any child of his should've been better than that. Better than them. He had raised his children to be worthy inheritors of the family name, productive members of society, paragons of fine upbringing. The fact that they ended up the way they did... disappointment was an understatement, truly.

"Believe it or not, we were dumped here by powers that be. You have our sincerest apologies for the intrusion." Oh, hellooooooo, trauma. That answered her previous question. "My name is Gloam, and over here is my partner, Buddy. As for the reason the powers that be have decided to dispatch us here... well, it's partially because of a cosmic joke at someone else's expense, but it was also because he wanted us to visit somewhere different, for a change." She had a feeling there was more than just that, though, and wasn't going to let her guard down just yet.

As she spoke, she would disarm herself as a show of peace, and seeing her remove all of her knives off her person, the young man beside her would do the same, both his collapsible staff and his firearms laid on the ground, closer to him than them. Of course, they were still plenty capable of defending themselves without their weapons, but the message was clear enough.

They were not here to fight.

The footfalls were measured--steady, even. It was clear from their sound that whoever was approaching carried themselves with confidence, knowing that there was little that could hope to successfully attempt a direct assault on this airship and those who lived on board.

It should also be said that the person who was approaching had no idea that there were strange visitors on the deck, but that would change as soon as they stepped outside.

Yellow eyes would fall to the two--their owner studying these two new arrivals as soon as he saw them. They were certainly unlike anything that had ever arrived in Dream Land before.

"State your names, and your reason for being aboard the Halberd."

Yeah, Gloam might be able to pick up on some things just from the other's manner of speaking. That was the sound of someone guarded--who had seen and experienced much, with few of those experiences being pleasant ones.

[deusproxy]

Yeah, this was not their usual haunt, that was for sure.

Moreover, the scenery seemed... familiar, more to one than the other. Well, it helped that Copernicus had told them where they'd be going, and the both of them were at least somewhat familiar with the setting, one slightly more so than the other. Which, of course, the other made sure to do her homework to compensate.

"Of all the places to drop us off... seeing it in person is something else. I don't remember much from what I've played, but this... this I definitely remember."

"No kidding. This place is armed to the gills, and that's coming from me." There was a thought kept to herself about how it was probably because of either overcompensation or trauma that the airship was this heavily-armed, but that thought didn't linger for long when she could sense someone approaching.

"Ah, that didn't take long."

@deusproxy

Just because Yukin was on vacation didn't mean that Gloam and Buddy had a reprieve from their routine 'spiriting away'--it's just that Copernicus was handling things this time. Not only had he already gone to great lengths to not only decide on a suitable locale that was a lot less troublesome, but he had also sought Shukukou's approval for an 'extended stay' for the sake of causing Yukin a bit of a headache in kind as recompense for all the trouble he was known to cause.

--

As for where Gloam and Buddy ended up, at least Copernicus had the consideration to tell them that they were being sent somewhere that was known for its peace and quiet before sending them on their way--and assuring them that he would be keeping a close eye on them as they traveled, due to certain problems that were well out of the pay grade of the two Proxies.

The arrival point of the pair would be on the deck of what could be assumed to be a large airship, complete with enough firepower to level an entire civilization if used to its full capacity. There would be open skies above, and various sights below--sights such as green fields, lush forests, a wide-open ocean... and even a castle situated on a mountain peak in the distance.

Just what world had these two ended up in?

Most of the Proxies can play at least one instrument, which is part of why the Hall of Origin’s Concert Hall was made. Many of them can play multiple.

Gloam is especially notable because her harsh childhood required her to be proficient in multiple instruments. Piano and violin are the ones she started with, but as of current, she plays basically any key-based instrument, including the accordion, a little bit of koto and shamisen, any string instrument that uses a bow, the harp, and so forth. If you include the list of things she can play remotely via Psychic, that list grows longer.

Surprisingly, she struggles with the guitar, but she is stubborn in getting it right because she knows her father hates the instrument. Another instrument she wants to learn is the erhu. She fell in love with it on the first listen, and while she knows someone who can teach her, she hasn’t gotten around to it yet.

As for the other Proxies, Peacekeeper is unsurprisingly good at any instrument frequently used in rock, Sorceress and Wayfarer, due to where they were born and raised, can play the accordion as well as piano and violin, and the piano, clarinet, flute, and bagpipes respectively. Buddy can play piano and guitar (regular and bass,) and Blood Tansy, while unsurprisingly good at the guitar, is also notable for being really, really good on the saxophone. Commander is notable for not knowing how to play any instrument at all.

"Waxing Poetry" (for Heidi)

"I’m alive, still breathing Stopped to hide, done grieving Realized that to survive Someone’s got to stand and fight!

And I’ve tried to believe in 'Only time stops the bleeding' I’m not waiting anymore, I know what I came here for!"

"How many more times will I talk about Resting my chin in my hands and gazing at the clouds As, on a flight I’ve grown completely accustomed to, I wonder if today will be the day it finally plummets to the ground? Even this life of searching for something that’ll give me The chance to contradict someone Still just won’t get old."

"Truth is, I know as long as we live, Our ideals dye rivers scarlet. Firing shots in the name of justice, Declaring love we can only reminisce. As cruelty becomes heroic, I'm on your ark, Answer me, my sinking ship! Where's our tomorrow? Where does our future go? Does our hope have to be sown upon somebody's sorrow?"

"The world where you and I were born, Let’s give it the same name here...

Our two hearts Became one, became light, So that all life Will be born again.

So that we will never Commit these same mistakes again, Here, I will continue To sing songs of love."

[deusproxy]

"I definitely do, and I avoid crowded spaces because of it. But I have my workarounds as well. Let's just say I have special means of suppressing my power, and leave it at that." Explaining the context of why and how was not something she felt in the mood to explain, even though Angelica would likely take it in stride, given what she's heard from her already.

"When I was in the process of turning, though, it was so bad I passed out for several days. Forget having to hide yourself from the public at large, turning is worse in my opinion. I envy those who were born Shifters, not having to go through absolute agony like that." The extent of the pain and the symptoms varied from person to person, but everyone who had ever been through the process of turning all agreed that it was among the worst experiences of their life. And thanks to the creations of a certain Uxie, she was able to experience the versions of the process others had gone through, and vice versa. It was a good exercise in pain tolerance, as well as seeing who had it the worst in the moment, out of curiosity rather than competition.

Of those who participated, it was generally agreed upon that Gloam's turning was easily among the worst, and that the Memory Prism holding that experience could possibly be considered torture.

"... Mm." Really, there would barely be a response on her end, mainly because she's already figured out that Gloam probably knew much more, just by looking at her, otherwise, she wouldn't have had opened this up to her now, would she? Additionally, it might be stupid to ask her how much does she know.

"I've seen that kind of desperation before, back then. Turns out, it really forces one's true character into light." She's also seen hers, during her most desperate time. The measures she had taken during that time wasn't really pretty, yet she didn't had time to even regret taking those measures. In fact, she didn't see any reason to at this point. Otherwise, she'd just be haunted by ghosts of her own doing if she dwells on those choices too much.

Maybe she would have, back then. But nowadays, she can only reflect on them.

That's that, and this is this.

"Surely you were overstimulated by that kind of power at least some point of your experience with it. Being able to read one person like a book seems fine, so I can picture that a large crowd could of been overwhelming."
