Hideo's heart sank slightly, another dead-end in his search for Azelf. Though in retrospect, he should've expected a "memory" wouldn't know about the present's issues - if that's what they were truly within.

Several other questions - and their answers - catch his attention. 's question about a "Black Knight" and "Skeleton", and the answer detailing how they brought upon the "Darkest Day". and 's questions give a bit more: that the Pokemon attacking Zamazenta likely wasn't the "Skeleton" they were asking about; something else, then?

There was so much more they could have asked - but it sounded like Calyrex was losing its sanity, attacking everything. All that remained now was what they could do now, questions helpfully asked by , , and .

If they had to help build the stories, the legends, to help save the people of this memory - to get back home - then that's what he'd do.

"Any suggestions where to go?" Hideo mumbled - intending to just be heard by Uxie. The answer he got wasn't a city, but rather, a Pokemon: the one that had been serving as Calyrex's mount just moments ago. "...you want me to go catch it?"

It was then that Uxie pointed out the carrot in his hand. "You want me to use this?" Yes.

Hideo nodded, carefully trying to weave around the ensuing chaos to reach the Glastrier, Uxie's guidance keeping him oriented and out of danger. "Hey, big guy," Hideo said, offering the carrot to the Glastrier, "I'm sorry about what happened to your rider. Wanna hang around with me for a bit?"

It wasn't unlike how he'd managed to attract Spectrier over a year ago - offering a carrot first. Though he wouldn't have the same time as he did before to build a complete bond.

Whether or not he earned the Glastrier's attention, he'd head over towards the area Uxie pointed him towards, the same place that a (fake) Suicune ran over towards: Ballonlea.


Perhaps asking the past about the present wasn't the best use of a question
Takes note of the lore dump Calyrex's answers
Goes over towards Glastrier, offers carrot
Whether or not he gets a horse, Hideo heads towards Ballonlea

Create everlasting stories? Be a hero? Do deeds worthy of song? Hitoshi blinks. He'd say dogs can't be heroes, but heroic dogs sparked this whole conflict.[break]

It's terrible, what happens next. Calyrex is killed. Killed in such a cruel way. He begs to be killed and they all tear him apart. This is a death without dignity. A death without honor or compassion or any of the things humans are supposed to feel. Gripping his katana with one hand, he almost wishes...[break]

His own wishes don't matter. He is a sword. A tool handed to for this mission. Nodding to the rest, he starts walking towards the portal alongside the blonde.[break]

But then, he feels an urge. A human urge. Stopping in his tracks, he turns. Looks on the ground. Eventually, he finds a suitable stone. Large. Round. One on which he can write.[break]

Pulling out a tanto, he pierces the tip of his finger. In the absence of ink, blood will do. He paints words in the language spoken in his youth. Makes a vow. This king, with all his dignity, asked a command of him.[break]

He walks to the king's body. He places a stone at his feet. On it, written in blood, are these words:

休んだ王
血の約束が
俺の剣が明け
With that done, he turns and walks through the portal behind Blondie without a word. There's work to do.

The king falls.[break][break]
It isn't as though they mean anything to her. They shouldn't, by all accounts. But Luka can't help but mourn the loss nonetheless. She stares at the fallen rabbit with a mixture of pity and sadness, and tries to suppress the boiling anger that churns in her stomach. She used to see the world the way it could be, but in staring at the corpse in front of her, the way it is is all she sees.[break][break]
The guilt she feels is misplaced, for there's little she could have done. But it surges through her nonetheless. Just how many ghosts must she carry with her? How much more can she expand to accomidate? This one doesn't belong to her- but a piece of her heart had been left in Galar, so perhaps it suits her nonetheless.[break][break]
She ignores the fighting between and , though 's intervention is met with a bit of appreciation. Her feelings toward the elite four are complicated, but she still doesn't want to see him come to harm.[break][break]
As soon as the mist dissipates, she steps towards the fallen body and the broken statue nearby. If she's making herself a target, she doesn't care. There's another with the same idea; a young man, and she has no idea if is a friend or foe. Frankly, it doesn't matter.[break][break]
Ignoring the freezing temperature, she prepares her own burial shroud. A mound of snow to cover their body, and offer the king one last show of respect. Should anyone choose to help her, she'll gladly accept. It seems they have little time, but she'd rather be trapped here forever than let Calyrex lay here without dignity.[break][break]
Dusting off her freezing hands, she turns next to the broken statue. Though she knows it's too late for it to do any good, she still wants to try and correct some of the wrongs they've done. With a grunt, she struggles to lift the decapitated head- it's only with the assistance of Ume, her Musharna, that the load lightens enough that she can hold it up.[break][break]
"If anyone wants to help," she manages to grunt as she struggles to hoist the head aloft, "That would be nice..."[break][break]
Whether others choose to assist or not, her Musharna continues to lend a helping hand. Ume's frenzy plant bursts through the snow, but this time the vines aren't meant to harm or ensnare. Instead, they wrap around the broken pieces of stone and hold them together, weaving around until the statue is laced with shades of greenery. From the woven vines, flowers bloom- a floral crown rests upon the fallen king's stone head.[break][break]
It's almost beautiful.[break][break]
[break][break]
When all is said and done, she stands back and offers one final prayer to the lost king. Around her stand those who had lent a hand: , , , , , , , , , and among them. Rocket and League alike have come together to pay their respects, and though the occasion is a somber one it helps rekindle her flickering faith in humanity.[break][break]

”Thank you,” she expresses quietly to those who had stayed to help, ”And good luck out there.”[break][break]

With that, she turns and, after a moment of thought, decides to join in Ballonlea. The forest there probably won’t be as charming as she remembers, but the familiarity and promise of fairies certainly helps.

There was so much going on multiple people sending attacks towards Calyrex. Emotions surged through him the most prominent guilt which made his stomach churn uncomfortably. The fact his attack didn’t land relieved him. At least until the glacial lance slammed into Mirage.
[break][break]
Due to the fact he was on his back he went flying out of the saddle and momentarily got buried by snow. He wasn’t to deep though and managed to resurface shivering slightly. He had just gotten warm and now he was cold again. The cold made his lungs ache and he immediately fell into a coughing fit, using his arm to cover his mouth.
[break][break]
Once the coughing had subsided he returned Mirage to his pokeball having missed Calyrex having been taken out when he’d been trying to get himself to stop coughing. So seeing the very much dead Pokémon he fell backwards in surprise, having to work to calm himself down before he fell into another coughing fit.
[break][break]
It took a few seconds for ‘s words to register in his mind. When they did his gaze flickered to her. ”I would be more of a hinderance than a helping hand,” his voice rough from the coughing fit he’d had, and he winced at the pain in his throat. He figured the coughing had irritated his throat a bit.
[break][break]
Taking a look around he eyed the four portals curiously. Having missed what had been said at the end he had to put together what the portals meant. Maybe some kind of teleportation portal? That would mean they would be taken to one of those four cities.
[break][break]
No knowing much about Galor he wasn’t sure where to go. But there was one place that he knew he wouldn’t be going to. The one that looked like it would be cold he would steer clear of. The fairy like place didn’t appeal to him either. Which just left two to choose from.
[break][break]
His eyes darted between the two before he moved back over to and his pyroar. ”Where do you plan on going? I was thinking of going to one of those two?” he said keeping his voice low while pointing at the portals leading to Hammerlocke and Motostoke.
[break][break]
It was clear he would go wherever the gym leader wanted to go. Out of everyone he was the only one he knew and therefore the only one he was comfortable with at the moment. Even if the older male’s reaction to had caught him off guard.

"Shit!" Despite Wolf's assistance a GLACIAL SPEAR cuts through the empowered HEAT WAVE and takes out Tortellini who falls to the ground in a cloud of pink smog and a loud groan. He returns it instantly, quick to put it someplace safe to take care of later. "I gotcha, baby." he murmured despite himself. [break][break]

As this happens, voices ring out and Mint turns his head in turn, capturing the visage of all those who ask their questions and back to Calyrex for his answers. Then comes the final request, and Mint racks his brain for the specifics from any of these locations, pulling at what he knows of Galar's long artistic heritage. [break][break]

"Thanks, Wolf!" he managed over comms, giving a nod at fellow Beast ( ) before beginning to move. As and move in for the final kill, he watches , from Jayden's arms, take a stand and push for the kill. "ALOPEX!! That was amazing!!" he damn near shouted through the comms watching wide eyed as their H! Typhlosion took it down amidst two other titans. [break][break]

The dust settles and such people begin to move. Calryex offered them locations and his attention is on the strange Beasts that had summoned. He eyes Suicune. perking up as he remembered and his search for it. It's not real...but it's still compelling. [break][break]

His concentration is broken by the conversation going on around him. As asked for help and declined to, he let out a sharp peal of laughter. "In other words, you're a big girl now! Do it yourself." he said to the pinkette. "You need a reality check- this place isn't real." he added, semi-robotic voice calming down after his little giggle fit. There's no point to any of it. A memory? Another weird joint hallucination. A preserved pocket dimension that was in ruin. [break][break]

He lifts a hand waving at if he can catch his eye before speaking up into the ROCKET COMMS. "Heads up! Neon moving out to BALLONLEA! I'll cover over there and let you know what happens if comms connection is still good!" he reported to the higher order Underboss present. [break][break]

As he did, his eyes go to , a little boy with a Joltik on his head. He seemed to be trying to be approaching the mourning Glastier. Mint moves quickly, interest taken as he locks eyes on the beautiful frozen horse. A selfish urge overtakes him as he moves, quick and silent up to the blind trainer. He's about to do the good ole poke and take switcheroo when he's stopped by the poignant glare of the little Joltik sitting on the kid's head. [break][break]

Really?? You're really about to do this? it seemed to say, making Mint grimace underneath his LED helmet. The expression is shown plain on the display a nervous frown as his hands drop. "Fuck ok..." he hissed under the mom like disdain the little spider showed him. He cleared his throat to alert the trainer of his presence, before putting his hands in his jacket. "Hey kid, think that horse will let you- us- pet it? If you feed it?" he asked, tone friendly and LED display mapping out a happy grin. "Sorry, I don't know your name. Neon's mine." he added as if he hadn't consdiered punting the kid into the snow to take his weird carrot moments ago. [break][break]

He waits for whatever may happen before realizing he recognized him. "OH- hey wait! Weren't you at that Necrozma thing?! You ended up in one of those- the magic circles? What happened to you during DAWN OF THE DARKEST DAY?" he asked, turning on his heels as the kid began heading out. Thankfully, also, to BALLONLEA.

Oliver's shoulders sagged. Well shit, so much for their mission. He had to look away from the execution. So much for that too. At least put the guy out with just one, not a bunch of people. With a heavy sigh, he saw the change. Portals to different places in Galar. Returning Dragonite, and lettiong Bastiodon out, he first watched where some people were going. 

And saw trying to bury the Pokemon. Noble as it was, those portals weren't going to stay open forever. The mission was more important, and they couldn't just stay for long. So he went to Motostoke. He didn't know Galar that well. But it was one that no one was going to yet. Figured try his luck there. Maybe with less distractions he could actually do his job. Or if Rocket members followed him, he could trim some of their numbers. Assuming he himself wasn't just overwhelmingly outnumbered.

Still, with his most defensive oriented Pokemon out, he was through. It was much warmer here. He doubted he'd find Chien-Pao here. But maybe he could find out some clues. Off to look he goes...

TLDR
No such luck on finding their querry.
Finds what Luka is doing noble, but time is of the essence, and they have a job to do.
Goes to Motostoke on Bastiodon.
No moves used, and no real interactions with anyone really...

[attr="class","inner"]
[attr="class","textbox"]A icy spear was thrown in her direction, green eyes wide as surely this was her demise. However, the salazzle moving in the path of the lance in the nick of time. Despite the rocket grunt mistreating her pokemon, it seems that her pokemon care for her more than she cared for them. The icy spear crashes into the fire and poison type, the salazzle screamed in agony. It appears despite the type advantage, the attack was powerful and knocked her creature out cold. Genesis, still partly stunned by her pokemon's actions, quickly recalled her creature.[break][break]

It was a strange sight to see even for a woman who was wicked minded herself. The ice horse, known now to Genesis as glastrier, was losing control of itself as it attacks almost everyone and knocks out almost all the pokemon around it. And although the King, Calyrex, claims to be its controller, the poison has hindered him too much to control the beast. It answers the bombarding of questions that shout out all around it, coughing and dying with each reply. And soon, it seemed that whatever was happening had truly began.[break][break]

Team rocket didn’t hesitate to attack. The rockets go in hot and heavy, separating the king from its horse before each was attacked on their own. Soon, the calyrex is killed and couldn’t be revived by the Champion himself. Almost like clock work, four beams of light formed. Each of them, showed a location. Genesis watched from afar, silently observing what was being said and done. A wicked smirk spread across her face, finally getting to her feet and darting for the one that was claimed to be ballonlea.[break][break]

as the ice comes, nyx continues to use her inferno to not only keep others warm, but keep them safe; specifically those around her trainer. whoever else could be burned for all she cares; only her trainer is of importance to her, and whoever he deems worthy of protection.[break][break]

there is little mercy in the battle. they take the king from his stead and energy begins going wild. sam doesn't have a great feeling about it and protectively raises a hand to his pocket, to protect the item within.[break][break]

he knows not what this frozen shed feather of purple is or what it could mean. suspicion and paranoia creep into his mind, hoping that he hasn't somehow triggered them being whisked away.[break][break]

to brace himself, he moves closer to nyx and returns her. energy enraptures him and he wasn't given time to pick a place; doesn't matter, he isn't familiar with galar's regions other than things he's read in passing over time.

tl;dr[break]

As the bulb-headed Pokémon — Calyrex, it called itself — spoke, the realization dawned on Zev that it did not actually know much. Questions rang out about multiple worlds and Legendary Pokémon, yet Calyrex did not give useful answers.[break][break]

Then the so-called High King finally mentioned something familiar.[break][break]

"The Darkest Day?" Zev echoed, taken aback. His mind flashed back to all the reports he'd read about the event that had rocked Sootopolis last summer. "Like our Darkest Day?" If so, then what was the Black Knight? The Skeleton?[break][break]

Necrozma?[break][break]

"Where is the Black Knight now?" Zev demanded of Calyrex when the Pokémon mentioned this figure of folklore had not left Galar. But Calyrex must have only heard the Beast's initial question, answering it before dying at 's hands.[break][break]

Stories of everlasting heroism were stupid, but if that was what it took for them to return to Hoenn, so be it. Zev called the crystals back into his body. Voices from other members of Team Rocket crackled in his ear — heading to Circhester, to Ballonlea.[break][break]

Zev flipped on his mic. "Ghost here. If Harbinger is going to Circhester, I'll go to Hammerlocke. Viper, Wolf, you should take the other locations," he said, addressing and . Each city would know the power of a Rocket blessed by Legendary Pokémon.[break][break]

Accompanied by his Toxapex, the assassin trudged toward the teleportation beam for Hammerlocke.[break][break]

Rusted Shield


Goodbye Galar


He should've been used to death by now, but the way Calyrex went out was just obscene.

It was a massacre.

Their attempts at protecting it were completely useless, and his attempts at healing did not work any better. Even 's own efforts bore little fruit, against all odds.

He couldn't even blame this entirely on rocket. Several of their own numbers had bore down viciously upon Calyrex.

Vengeful or merciful. The reasons didn't matter— he felt sick to his stomach. Even as most began to disperse, the mission the king had lain at their feet fresh on everyone's minds, he stood by, silent and despondent. Slowly, he approached.

Near the corpse was his Porygon-Z. His phone was cracked, and the pokemon inside unresponsive. But not dead, at least. As he picked it up his hand glowed like neon, healing scales pooling between the cracks... until the screen flashed to light, a familiar face popping over it.

"You did your best, Zeke. Good job." He said, slowly pocketing the phone back. Without another word, he released his Orbeetle instead, the radar beetle keeping an eye out for him as he focused entirely on what was before him.

Staring at the corpse was difficult. It always was, even when they weren't as brutalized and horribly disfigured by damage as Calyrex's was.

Bless 's heart for being so kind.

"Wait." He says to her without delay, his feet raising to slowly approach the eviscerated corpse, before sinking to his knees besides it. "First, just... just let me..."

He fought back every urge to shy away or wretch, gazing into the works of League and Rocket alike with an unblinking gaze. This was their fault— arguably the league's even more than Rocket.

"I'm sorry." He muttered as he raised his hands, staring at them for a moment before taking off his gloves and holding them towards the body. Pressing them against the gore, a neon glow came alive in his palms.

His healing scales flowed into the body. Even if he couldn't raise the dead... Surely he could at least try to make it pristine, his palms gently fleeting over the damage in a careful massage.

Every scratch and hole and burn made him shiver and wish to wrench away. But he refused to so much as blink... until the work was done.

"That's... that's all I can do." Doug said to Luka, rising to his feet with hands covered in blood. "... For now."

His gaze rose to the skies, to . He needed more of her and 's help. There had to be more he could do. Something he was missing.

Seeing Luka struggle with the statue, he shoved his hands back into their gloves before helping the woman with the weight, struggling alongside her until the Musharna's brought life to the icy snowscape.

"... Yer very kind, Ms. Chene." Doug muttered to Luka as he stared at her handywork. He gathered his hands briefly, just as had taught him. He didn't believe in prayer, but sometimes it made him feel better about things.

"I'm not much of a hero, but... I'll shine brightly so ya can rest in peace." He promised before the tomb.

After a long moment, the youth finally pried himself away from his prayer, walking away a respectful distance before directing his gaze to his Orbeetle.

"... Omega. Report."

A brief summary of some of the things that had transpired occurred. The maneuver from in particular was noted. Smart and quick as ever, the champion— Matias was a big target.

"Did you track 'im well?"

Of course. Only one of the 3 signatures carried Matias Silph, after all.

"Brilliant as ever." He muttered, before raising a hand to his ear.

League Comms
Sullivan here.

There's four locations. We're outnumbered, 22 to 31.

I would like to suggest we spread ourselves out evenly between 2, maximum 3 cities, just to prevent ourselves from being vastly outnumbered.

and have gone to Hammerlocke. I'm going to Balloonlea. If anyone else wants to follow my suggestion, These two locations would be ideal.

...

Do your best, but don't die. We're all making it back home.

Lt. Collonel Sullivan, Over and out.


His message delivered, the youth turned towards the portal leading to Balloonlea, where Omega had informed him had gone to... with an unknown rocket () in tow.

His lip curled down as he raised his hand, tugging firmly onto his gloves as blood dripped down his forearm.

"No one else is dying on my watch." He swore under his breath, steeling himself before marching into Balloonlea.

tDzw4f14

TL;DR:
-Recovers and heals his Porygon-Z. Summons his Orbeetle.
-horrified at the level of violence with which Calyrex is murdered.
-Mourns.
-Decides to help .
-Heals the body of Calyrex so it can be interred hopefully immaculate.
-prays besides Luka at the King's tomb.
-Listens to Orbeetle's report on what's going on, specifically, , and 's choices.
-Informs of his opinion to to all the leaguers over the comms, as well as Kyle and Matias' location.
-Informs his own location: Balloonlea.
-Let's fucking go lads.

Falling stars? Skeleton?[break][break]

"Useless hogwash," Elisabeth muttered darkly to herself, all too eager to see the cryptic creature fall prey to the dark energies of RUINATION.[break][break]

An appreciative look was given to Admin for their capable aim in finishing the strange Legendary beast -- though no such appreciation was given to for his Precipice Blades. As dragged his friend away to Hammerlocke, Elisabeth's eyes narrowed, preparing to follow in hot pursuit.[break][break]

Until spoke over the communications, urging Rocket's Avatars to divide and conquer. Elisabeth rolled her eyes as he claimed her prey, but she sheathed her GRUDGE for another day. "All right," she replied in a clipped tone, "I'll take Motostoke. Forests and I don't see eye-to-eye these days. Wolf, that leaves you with Ballonlea."[break][break]

Not that she cared, really, if he followed the plan or not. could do what he wanted.[break][break]

Wo-chien followed her to depart, prepared to tell the kind of stories witches and sorceresses told best.[break][break]

Questions were given, some of them were even answered.

Gerald’s weren’t. All he was given was a blast of ice aimed straight for his Iron Moth. It fell to the ground and was knocked out, weak beeps tried to assure Gerald that it was not his fault. But Gerald did not notice, instead he merely focused on retrieving his machine back into its Pokéball.


By the time his attention returned to Calyrex, it was at its end. He heard its final words, it’s plea of going to the final standing settlements, and creating stories for Galar. His mask hid the bewilderment. He didn’t know what to do, what to say. This was clearly not a simple task and honestly even if he wanted to approach the matter he didn’t know HOW.

And so he watched as the Regicide commenced.

He took a couple of deep breathes, gathered his composure and turned his attention to the small beams of teleportation. Before he makes a decision his rocket comms blare out into his ears. He recognizes the voice of one of the underbosses, informing them that they are going to CIRCHESTER.

Gerald promptly decides to follow and so quickly jumps into the portal leading there.

OZWhjGi4

TLDR:
- Iron Moth is knocked out
- Gerald can't really do much but watch it all unfold.
- Gerald decides to go to Circhester.

[attr="class","aurelie"]

[attr="class","aurelie_lyrics"]Come back with your shield or on it.
[attr="class","aurelie_body"]Between the shock of seeing her GALLADE felled by an errant GLACIAL LANCE and the tragedy of the CALYREX's descent from grace into madness and death, Aurelie was deeply moved by the unfolding events to the point of having to hold back tears. Only the reminder that she was in front of fellow Rockets and possibly judgmental League members alike kept her from crying. She did sniffle a few times but hoped they could be attributed to the cold, rather than softheartedness.

Others around her started making their choices on which Galarian city to be teleported to, using the magical beams shining from the fallen CALYREX's pistil. Still, Aurelie's gaze lingered on the body of the small yet regal King Pokemon. The red-haired smith watched pensively and respectfully as penned a eulogistic poem in his own blood—and couldn't help but admire the make of the fine tanto he used to cut his finger.

But it's not until started building a cairn of snow for the CALYREX that Aurelie stepped forward herself. Quietly, she pulled the sleeves of her hoodie up over her hands and crouches beside Luka to build a mound of snow over the body. The wet snow still quickly chilled her hands, but Aurelie bit her lip and kept working.

"It's not exactly a state funeral with a choir singing a grand dirge, or even a burial at sea on a flaming ship," Aurelie murmured under her breath as she worked. "But it's still something, at least."

When Luka turned to repairing the statue, Aurelie paused for a moment in indecision, struggling to think of a way she could help. Returning her GALLADE to its ball with a regretful sigh, she released her GOLETT instead. Then she hurried over to help lift the decapitated head alongside Luka and , lending the strength of her blacksmith's arms to the task.

Once the head was back in place, the GOLETT used its HAMMER ARM—but with greater delicacy and care this time than when battling—to tap the head gently into place and secure it atop the statue. Aurelie stumbled back with a startled exclamation when Luka's MUSHARNA presented a better—and far more beautiful—solution to reattaching the statue's head, though. Vines wrapped around the statue like coils of living rope to hold everything together, and flowers blossomed along the vines in a vibrant display, making Aurelie's breath catch in her throat at the unexpectedly glorious sight.

Wiping away a treacherous tear that just couldn't help but fall, the red-haired smith whispered finally, "Rest in peace." Silently, she saluted Luka and her Pokemon for the memorial, before at last turning her own attention to the teleportation beams.

Such power, even in death, Aurelie marveled, impressed by the ability to teleport to distant cities using the withered pistil's energy. She racked her brain for recollections and ideas about Galar, trying to remember which cities had intrigued her. She heard directions on the Rocket comms about spitting up the powerful Rockets to different cities, but none of it really applied to a mere grunt like her.

But Aurelie did remember hearing about Motostoke and its reputation as an industrial city full of the wonders of steam-powered engineering. How much of that was true in this mysterious memory of Galar? At least, that curiosity and interest was enough to steer her feet toward the teleportation beam leading to Motostoke, hoping she could hear—and perhaps tell–stories about artisans, craftsmen, and wondrous machines.

The questions are a motley mess. Half the people are obviously in it for themselves. One of the weirdoes acts like it’s a confessional. Someone else pesters the half-dead rabbit for clues to catch the apocalypse weasel. Choosing not to comment on this shit, Madd settles for taking a few puffs off a cigarette. Not able to watch the thing rot out, she turned toward Moxxie.

But the flamethrower did jack-all to the lance that followed.”Moxxie!” Madd shouted, the alarm a few seconds too late. An icy blade smalled into the Magcargo’s lava body. Already bulbous eyes bulged further as the snail was lifted up and tossed aside. With a gurgle, she fell onto her side, lantern eyes closing. Even from a foot away, the cold frosted the girl’s cigarette, turning it and her lips into an icicle. With a wince, the redhead recalled her baby girl.

For a moment, she debated on throwing off something else. But, ultimately, she decided aggainst it. The dog was keeping all of them warm, and she hadn’t had the best luck with this shit so far. And she had zero intention of putting anyone else at risk right now. It wasn’t like they chose to be here. As everyone called out their destination, she pondered hers.

Some part of her wanted to hit up Balloonlea. It’d been Uncle Joel’s favorite place to take them as kids. They’d loved exploring the glowing mushrooms and playing with the faux fairy circles. All the woods meant her dad—even an alternate universe one—wouldn’t touch the place with a ten-foot pole. But, then, her thoughts turned to her mom and little sister. It’d been ages since she’d seen them in person—even if they video-called a few times a week. And, with what she got paid, it wasn’t like she could afford to leave.

“Heroes? I am not entirely sure you’re barking up the right tree.” Or, well, whatever rabbits did. Still, if her mom was here, maybe she could put some light back in her eyes. She took a deep breath, turning away as the High King breathed his last. She watched as Cillian walked through. It was time to go home. God, ten years was a long time. “Circester.” With a nod at her temporary companions, she stepped through the portal.

Hopefully, magical hell gates worked on concussions.

Compass freezes over so Temp call her back into her pokeball before any permanent damage can be done. He signs when his suit, which had been helping to keep him warm, buzzes and turns off without the Giraffe's energy and bond to help power it. Some debut this was.[break][break]

In the end regicide in completed. People move apart. Temp doesn't have his comms anymore, since his broke, but he already knows where is going. He reaches out and squeezes the other's hand before moving towards the body of the fallen king.[break][break]

A nasty look is given to anyone who looks like they might try to stop or approach him.[break][break]

provides a death knell. a final comfort. and later provide peace. Temp stands beside their work and drips his head, closes his eyes. Next to Luka, the pink haired woman would be able to hear thick, accented words said under his breath.[break][break]

"Let the ocean sing for you[break]
Her aria of solemn being[break]
Let Her love splash softly over you[break]
And bring you into Her arms."
[break][break]

With that done, he turns without any further words for the others and follows after his husband to Circhester.[break][break]
