...Understood. I don't think I can stop her if your plan goes badly enough, but hopefully it will not.

[Another audio file is attached, likely due to the difficulty of taking a video for this particular situation.

"...Where do we begin?" Maria asks, very quietly.

"I am more convinced," Solaire says, "that there is some reason Lugia is working for Team Rocket. He mentioned a secret..."

"Could be a secret she'll be angrier at us about if we uncover," Mallory says. "That a risk you want to take?"

Maria hesitates. "Not if there is another choice."

"Somehow, I didn't think you would. Weird hunch, I know."

"Is there another choice?" Dee says.

The silence, however brief, is telling.

"There is another choice I can think of," she continues. "To do nothing, and to see what Giovanni does next. Silver, how certain are you that Giovanni is bluffing?"

"I could be damn fucking certain," Silver says, "and I still wouldn't want to do nothing."

"...Ah. I see."

"Some secrets are... better left well alone," Maria says. "There is every chance that this is one of them."

"If I still had nightmares, I'd hear that monologue of yours in 'em," Mallory grumbles under her breath.

"...But even if it is," Maria continues, "Team Rocket already knows it, don't they."

"That they do," Solaire says.

"That's definitely worse than any of us knowing it," Silver says. "So... how do we figure it out?"

"I'm not sure," Maria says. "What does being willing to listen to the seafoam entail..."

"...I may," Dee says timidly, "have an idea. Though... no, that likely wouldn't be it..."

"Ideas are ideas. What is it?"

"I don't know that this would be applicable for Lugia, I don't know if human names for places would even be used by him..."

"That rather depends," Solaire says. "Some are older than others. The Whirl Islands have been called some variation of that for as long as they have been known to mortals who cared to name them."

"There is..." Dee hesitates. "In Kanto, to the east of Cinnabar Island, there is a small chain of islands known as—"

"The Seafoam Islands," Silver blurts out. "You don't think... there?"

"I don't know," Dee says. "I wish I could think of something better, truly. I'm sorry."

"Don't be," Maria says. "It is more of a lead than I have. I don't believe anyone else has had a better idea within the past several hours."

"Or any idea," says Mallory. "Dee and I only visited them briefly, and it was mostly to make sure we didn't run into you too early. Could've pretty easily missed a Rocket setup if they had anything then."

"Then it is at least worth investigating." Maria sighs. "Of course it's more islands..."

I will do so. Do you believe you'll have things handled? She is visibly debating Pelipper Mail.

okay, maybe not, but the constant march of spacetime across multiple universes in general IS really overwhelming

It is, but she was aware of multiple universes before beginning to post on... the only agreed-upon term is the "dist site"? So she was already aware of this.

[corviknight-appreciator]

You do understand how that's worse, correct?

"What, exactly, is happening so much?" I mean, I think your chosen was pretty clear, the answer is everything.

I... somehow doubt that she means the constant march of spacetime across multiple universes in general, but thank you.

[corviknight-appreciator]

...Ah. I believe this may be the Horrors. Best of luck dealing with them.

the Horrors

...Very specific, I see.

[corviknight-appreciator]

My Chosen has been avoiding the internet due to "everything happens so much". What, exactly, is happening so much?

[corviknight-appreciator]

Everyone is scared of the eldritch entity until they meet said entity.

Giratina, for example, has the personality of a golden retriever.

[corviknight-appreciator]

Pelipper Mail! A skykid (from sky: children of the light) plushie labeled "joyous whimsy". Because clearly you need some ma'am.

...what?

I have... several questions. And I will have time for joyous whimsy later, after I have ensured that no one else will have their lives destroyed because of magic.

[corviknight-appreciator]

Well, I’ll stop you, if it comes to that.

(Good! You can do whatever with your moon, but leave mine alone.)

…Why do people have particularly strong opinions about the moon on here?

[corviknight-appreciator]

Do so. Destroying the moon here would cause many problems.

…Why do people have particularly strong opinions about the moon on here?

[corviknight-appreciator]

Ah. That would do it. Well, please keep your moon fighting to your own moon. I’ll have to stop you if you take this to my world as well.

…Why do people have particularly strong opinions about the moon on here?

[corviknight-appreciator]

[An image. It appears to be of the rounded edge of a platform, with a sigil glowing upon it. The platform is high over a beautiful garden with ruins in it.]

[corviknight-appreciator]

…some of the magic is returning to the world. I can feel it. We have lost too much time to the cold already…
