Elisabeth Fiorelli and PENELOPE LIVY like this

[nospaces]

[attr="class","body"]

All was silent and serene, a whispered promise of spring on the soft breeze that tempered the chill winter air. For several heartbeats, nothing happened - but then: a thin tear began to form in the fabric of reality, a miniature spatial distortion connecting one dimension to another.[break][break]
Out of the portal stepped a petite woman with pastel pink hair tied up in a tail. Her delicate features were visible as she surveyed the landscape, crimson eyes scrutinizing the cliffside in search of potential dangers. Snow crunched beneath her boots as she walked into the shadow of a nearby mausoleum, a tribute to some ancient family long-forgotten. Here, she waited, a shiny blue Unown-K at her side. Her hand rested by her waist, fingertips dancing idly across a Tera orb.[break][break]
The memory of PENELOPE LIVY's unbridled wrath was seared into her like a brand that still burned, the wound not yet healed over; she still trusted illeana reyes, but she was wary now, on guard, more cautious. Tense, she looked to the horizon, awaiting a flash of pink.[break][break]
"The Alchemist," she murmured, trying out her supposed ally's new title. Nomi was no chemist, but she knew a thing or two about brewing.[break][break]
What mattered most was the quality of the ingredients.

[attr="class","illeana i"]as if summoned into existence by title alone, the alchemist and her dragon make themselves known with a growing pink slash across the cliffside of mt pyre. it widens and for a brief moment, the interdimensional layer between this destination and her lilycove home winks at nomi.

palkia emerges first, pearlescent wings folding themselves back up to reveal illeana, herself, at its side. and as quickly as it had appeared, the pink wound against this world's spatial structure stitches itself back together and closes entirely.

"the visionary."

it echoes slightly, an answering call to nomi's own. the ghost of smile accompanies it.

"have you been well?"

she takes a few steps forward to join nomi and palkia gives its avatar room to conduct mortal affairs. the dragon spares them a watchful eye and nothing more, content to look to mt pyre's peak where the dimensional rift still sits like a festering wound. soon, she surmises, they'll be able to do something about that.

Nomi spared Palkia a glance, crimson eyes gazing up at it with a careful scrutiny. The draconic god still felt larger than life even though it had made itself manageable - twenty feet instead of hundreds - a mercy, perhaps.[break][break]
She nodded her head ever so slightly in respect, apprehension prickling the edges of her resolve. It wasn't that she feared Palkia; it was more a sense of tipping scales, of imbalance, of wariness regarding the effects bonding a creature untethered from the laws of spatial logic might have on a human woman.[break][break]
All gods are jealous and possessive beings, Elisabeth Fiorelli's voice hissed in the back of her mind.[break][break]
Memories flashed, then - a sudden pool of magma, golden eyes burning with hatred, a devotion to justice so fanatic it was ruinous. Had Illeana known? Nomi's jaw tightened, the only sign of the anger that bubbled beneath the surface of her otherwise calm demeanor.[break][break]
"I've been...better."[break][break]
Kallistatus drifted upwards, circling Palkia, its singular eye fixated on its fellow ancient. Vibrations seemed to reverberate around the shiny Unown-K, as if it were attuning to - or perhaps remembering - some long-lost modality of speech, a way of connecting to one of the few other beings in existence that knew a thing or two about bypassing the supposed limitations of physics in order to create new realities.[break][break]
"And you?"

[attr="class","illeana i"]she's been better...? she blinks, confusion coming in flashes.

"are you alright? has something happened?"

for a moment, she feels the familiar, mortal sense of fear. it coils up and drops in her stomach like a heavy rock, the way it does when you might be caught doing something you shouldn't.

have they been found out?

while nomi's unown reacquaints itself to the spatial dragon, illeana herself takes another step forward to get a better look at nomi. her eyes flitter down then back up, as if subconsciously checking for signs of injury. she no longer possesses the ability to mend ailments, but the habit is difficult to snuff out all the same.

"i've been okay, i think? it's been... an adjustment."

she sees stars coming into existence now when she closes her eyes. and if she stops to really look at her surroundings, she can feel the distant echoes of space pulling apart just beyond their mortal plane. it's foreboding and intriguing all at once, succeeding in gently pushing her closer and closer to the edge of succumbing into madness's depths.

a soft, guttural growl escapes from palkia and she turns slightly to steal a glance at the dragon's body language. it looks relaxed, its tail idly flicking in slow, steady movements. the sound had been nothing more than conversational, then... she turns back with the confirmation.

"thank you for those notes, by the way - they were an insightful read!"

she still has them tucked away with the rest of her dimensional research, their edges slightly crinkled from overuse.

So much had happened. Too much.[break][break]
"I was attacked," Nomi admitted, watching carefully for signs of recognition - of knowing - in the other woman's expression. "Unexpectedly."[break][break]
Emotions warred with reason. She ought to remain calm, continue the conversation, focus on practical next steps for their alliance. Now that illeana reyes had been chosen by Palkia, she was an even greater asset in their fight against the DRK Triad. Holo and her peers were likely throwing a hissy fit over that development, considering they had once attempted to chain the spatial dragon to their agenda much like they had the Unown.[break][break]
Honing on Illeana's assessment of her current condition, Nomi flashed her a sad, knowing smile.[break][break]
"I know what you mean," she replied softly. "After the Unown chose me, I became linked to their collective memory, to their role in creation...I can't ever go back to being the person I was before." That woman had not been so tethered to Hoenn's survival, a scientist rather than a prophet.[break][break]
"I'm glad you found them useful," she added, when Illeana brought up the research notes she'd sent. "There is still much to be discovered, so I'm hoping you will be able to expand upon them."[break][break]

attacked?

[break][break]

she blinks. a look of confusion settles quickly, as if conjured from the spatial matter around them. had it been the drk triad? a league operative or, perhaps, a megalopolan? she feels the rug beneath her feet begin to tug, but it doesn't quite pull smoothly.

[break][break]

"who?"

[break][break]

her tone is one of thinly veiled irritation - annoyance from being kept in the dark and frustration of not being able to stop it coalesce all at once until she's a spark away from catching fire.

[break][break]

"why didn't you tell me sooner?"

[break][break]

how much has been hidden? how much is still left unseen?

[break][break]

whatever turmoil she feels is slowly but surely disarmed as nomi gently pushes forward into a common ground - a shared knowing of never going back. they have been cosmic touched, but are they better for it? somehow, she's still adjusting to the weight of the universe, of creation, on her shoulders.

[break][break]

"it's odd, i think, to still go through the motions of daily life now that we're parts of creation, isn't it?"

[break][break]

how could they be normal after what they see, feel, understand?

[break][break]

and with so much to expand on between their shared notes, a small content smile rises at the thought. they have the means to unearth whatever they want now. it's a blessing as much as it is a curse.

[break][break]

"they should be able to be applied to our collective efforts against approaching threats. have you received any further intelligence on their movements?"

PENELOPE LIVY likes this

[nospaces]

[attr="class","nomitest8"]

[attr="class","body"]

Illeana had not known. She had not been an accomplice of PENELOPE LIVY's cruelty.[break][break]
Nomi ought to have felt relief, but all she could do was watch Illeana with a somewhat detached expression. Confusion turned to frustration as Illeana's lovely features darkened. Another woman, less observant, might have mistook the change in demeanor for one of anger on Nomi's behalf...but the Rocket Head Scientist could see the truth of it: Illeana's vexation was directed at Nomi. Or, perhaps even more accurately, at the prospect of not knowing about something that had happened to Nomi.[break][break]
Nomi could understand. They were alike in that way: quick to grow impatient with the obfuscated.[break][break]
"Councilwoman Penelope Livy did it," she answered coldly, resigned to the fact that she now had an enemy within the League. Like having a wound that wouldn't heal over, refusing to close. "Tricked me into appearing and tried to kill me."[break][break]
As for why she hadn't told Illeana...[break][break]
"I would have, if not for Kyurem's attack."[break][break]
So many anomalies, so little time.[break][break]
Illeana was right: they shared more than just a disdain for the undiscovered. They were both incapable of resuming a sense of normalcy, changed as they were.[break][break]
"Odd, yes. But sometimes I...need those mundane moments," she murmured. "The things that keep me grounded. The reminders of what's worth fighting for."[break][break]
parker jones. The rest of her found family. Her Pokemon. Her scientific work.[break][break]
"Father Winter has been active, but the rest of the triad have been suspiciously quiet as of late. I fear they are planning something. Or, perhaps they have anticipated another calamity - one that will further stoke the flames of the Rocket and League conflict."[break][break]
The very thing Nomi was working desperately to prevent...only to be rewarded with violent opposition.

at the mention of PENELOPE LIVY, her expression morphs. there's rage beneath the surface, but also an inner turmoil of multiple feelings coalescing into one mixed concoction. there, against the backdrop of her prophesized throne, she recognizes the true divide for what it is.

[break][break]

"what reason was there behind the attack?"

[break][break]

had it been premeditated down to the last detail? or was it corrupted passion misplaced on any rocket within sight?

[break][break]

she knows, deep down, this dance will not last forever. she will grow tired of teetering between both sides, of the loyalties expected of her, and she will be forced to choose... the time has not come yet, but it will and when it does, will nomi's expression when speaking of her mirror the one she uses now for PENELOPE LIVY?

[break][break]

for now, she issues a small warning into the space between them. it comes as a soft whisper, hardened into an immovable force. "in the future, do not hide things like this from me again."

[break][break]

their alliance is of mutual benefits, but it only goes so far as trust extends. they might both do well to remember that.

[break][break]

the mention of the mundane quells the waning control in her veins, the ichor cooling slightly beneath the sensations of things more mortal in nature. she clings to the semblance of mortality as if it could save her, as if it could stop the golden flood from drowning her in holiness. it cannot and will not, but she has not realized, yet, the true cost she has paid. she will, just as nomi will, when a hand is forced to act.

[break][break]

"it's difficult to focus when tensions are reaching a boiling point."

[break][break]

and the drk triad... they lurk in spaces unseen. she can feel faint touches of them, like perfume lingering long after one has already left the room. their hands are still in the universe - her universe - and the concept awakens a sense of primordial protectiveness. she bares mild teeth at the thought.

[break][break]

"their lack of activity is a sign we should not ignore."

[break][break]

her eyes narrow. like sea hoenn, they are merely waiting for the right moment... when they find it? the dam will break and hoenn will flood as foretold in biblical times.

[break][break]

"i suspect they will be coming before the year is done. the prophecy was likely not just heard by just our ears - after all, they're always watching."

[break][break]

her eyes slide to nomi's unown for a moment before returning, but the point is made clear all the same.

Swift was the warning, vast the divide.[break][break]
"Her reason?" Nomi almost laughed. "She wants me to stay away from the League." She sucked in a breath. "Because I'm with Rocket."[break][break]
That was all it was: a personal vendetta against the criminal organization. But of the two women, only one had tried to kill the other, unprovoked, and it wasn't the so-called terrorist.[break][break]
"She won't listen to reason, and there is no room in her heart for second chances. But that ruinous beast of hers? It does not discriminate between League and Rocket; it will corrode us all if it can."[break][break]
If she catches you consorting with her enemy, she will try to kill you too.[break][break]
"Be careful, Illeana."[break][break]
The Visionary's crimson gaze found Palkia for a heartbeat, honing in on its majestic visage. Could a behemoth of spatial mastery stand against such an insidious destructive force? Could its realm deteriorate? Decay at the same rate theirs would, if the ruination began in earnest?[break][break]
Not if. When.[break][break]
He gaze snapped back to the League's Head Scientist. The way the other woman regarded Nomi's Unown - a second's worth of suspicion - gave her the briefest moment of pause.[break][break]
"I agree," Nomi nodded. "Which means we need to hurry."[break][break]
What use was a prophetess without a prophecy? What use was a prophecy without those willing to heed it?[break][break]
"I want to speak with the Commissioner," she whispered, then. It wasn't desperation so much as a softly spoken prayer. "Do you think she would listen to me? To us?"[break][break]
About the DRK Triad. About all of it.

while she had hoped to traverse the divide, it seems to only grow wider.

[break][break]

and while PENELOPE LIVY had been heavy handed, she cannot fully write off the action as a terrible decision. there will be others, surely, who would react in the same aggressive sort of manner. would it not be wise to learn of this sooner rather than later, when she's already amassed a following and valuable alliances that could be easily undone with the actions of another?

[break][break]

the path forward is already written, she surmises, though it might not be the favorable one now.

[break][break]

"i fear she will not be the last you face under similar circumstances, ruinous beast or not."

[break][break]

her stare feels cursed by the sun, the prophetic nature always destined to be misbelieved. this, too, could be no different.

[break][break]

"i would worry less of me and more of your own safety."

[break][break]

she is of ancient draconic grout, of stardust and constellations and their subsequent destruction. it's entirely possible for the very spatial matter beneath her feet to be swept away by adversaries, but she will not allow such a thing without a fight.

[break][break]

but all titans fall as all stars die. whether it takes eons or seconds, the end result is always the same. the notion of treading carefully is folded up and tucked away for later, for darker skies and bloody streets.

[break][break]

"the commissioner?"

[break][break]

she blinks, neutrality fracturing. a deft hand tries in vain to keep it together.

[break][break]

"are you certain?"

[break][break]

she thinks of possibilities, of various little red threads sprouting out from this conversation and her encounter with councilwoman livy until the path ahead twists and splits into many. she cannot discern which one holds the most favorable outcome anymore.

[break][break]

"it's possible she'll listen, but it's also possible she will capture you instead."

[break][break]

her stare hardens, no longer fire but cooled rubies.

[break][break]

"are you willing to risk the latter outcome prevailing?"

Was she willing to risk capture?[break][break]
"I am certain," she replied. It was an easy decision, in the end, because there was only one way to go about such a meeting - were it to manifest as she hoped. "I would take her to the Unown Dimension for a brief time, where we would be able to speak without interruption. She would be powerless there."[break][break]
Nomi knew this was a lofty request. Illeana might be willing to treat with Rockets, but it was highly unlikely she would approve of allowing the League's commissioner to venture into uncharted territory with an enemy.[break][break]
"Obviously," Nomi continued, anticipating the opposition. "You would come with us."[break][break]
There was another point to this, of course. Palkia's Avatar could visit her own dimension, too. What would happen when she stepped into the infinite expanse of galaxies the Unown called home? If this worked, it meant Nomi could be taken to Palkia's realm, too. Which she hoped to visit, one day. For the research potential, but also to ensure it could not be manipulated by the DRK Triad. There were far too many ways for them to infiltrate Hoenn, it seemed.[break][break]
"That way, the Commissioner would have some protection - a gesture of good faith on my part."[break][break]
She smiled a little, then: the sort of heavy acceptance only they could understand. The God-touched. The divinely burdened. Those who bore the tremendous weight of reality's fragility on their shoulders.[break][break]
"Please trust me when I say that I have no reason to hurt dahlia goode," Nomi whispered softly. "Or you, Alchemist."[break][break]
Not yet.

powerless.

[break][break]

the very concept causes a chemical reaction. composure breaks beneath a bristling exterior and she feels her shackles raise in warning.

[break][break]

"you wish her to be powerless? for what purpose?"

[break][break]

she can see the alarms as they ring out, as they call for mistrust and scrutiny.

[break][break]

and despite the shaky foundation threatening to give out beneath her feet, she takes a daring step forward. her eyes narrow, carmine mixing with sparks of rose gold.

[break][break]

"is it good faith or is it moving pieces into place?"

[break][break]

she can't rid herself of the dubious sensation even if she tried. paranoia has long wormed its way into her body, in her brain, and it has eaten her alive.

[break][break]

"make no mistake, visionary," her tone dips, low and foreboding behind a pause. archaic rumbles find a mouthpiece in an alchemist aiming too high. the stars will not catch her when she, too, inevitably falls. "not even a hair on her head is to be touched, or you will answer to me."

[break][break]

and with the heavens as her witness, she will be worse than those before her.

Why was it so horribly difficult, so impossibly tedious, to get these scions of the League to believe her? Greyson Connors had scoffed, PENELOPE LIVY had attacked. Illeana merely glowered at her, but Nomi knew better than to underestimate the power behind that pointed stare.[break][break]
"You have my word," she emphasized, tone brokering no argument, no clash of wills. "Should the opportunity present itself for us to speak, I will not hurt the Commissioner."[break][break]
The Unown pulsed to the rhythm of finality, her spirit resonating with their urgency, and Nomi understood that this meeting was coming to its natural end. Fragments of duty called to her, the bits and pieces she can see through the looking glass of the Collective. Her spies have much to report, time a precious resource when apocalypse looms.[break][break]
"In good faith, I also plan to talk to Walsh," she admitted. "I have always meant it - I want both sides to take the threat of the DRK Triad seriously."[break][break]
Blue crystal began to shimmer around her, haloing Nomi in the energy of teleportation.[break][break]
"You are my ally." For now. "Because of that, if you have need of me, do not hesitate to ask." I will come, if it's safe. If she's not involved, in all of her envious glory.[break][break]
And because she knew what it felt like to be burdened by terrible purpose, she added, "Protect your heart, Illeana. That's what makes us human."
