Eris takes on the text in front of her, laying out the journal page in kind, an attempt to match line for line in a way.[break]
"Yes, that's right, it's broken into shorter lines," Yuina agreed, watching her jot down a handful of notes before she had the moment to speak.[break][break]
Working with Remiel Calcifet, Yuina knew a touch of Galarian history and culture here and there, but she was far from well versed on the Darkest Day, and certainly not to a degree that she could begin to understand how her research into Celestica and Eris' research into Galar could have any ties to each other.[break][break]
"What about The Darkest Day were you reading when you found that passage?"

She frowns, pausing as she finishes writing the note. "We couldn't find anything. But the librarian didn't want us to have nothing, so they led us to the religion section."[break][break]

It had been at Doug's more refined request. A search through the annals of history for even a glimpse of truth on the matter.[break][break]

"Are the writings on the plate stuff from the past too?"

Sliding another book across her desk, Yuina again began gingerly turning pages before coming to what she was looking for, the section carefully marked by some paper tucked into the corners.[break]
"Yes. That passage, and some others, are what I've been working on translating," Yuina returned, glancing down to the pages she held in front of her.[break][break]
"Throughout Hisui, plate lie scattered-- plates with powers all diverse. Forever lasting, each inscribed with eternal prayer's verse," she read first, words muddled a bit on her tongue, but she was working on it. She'd only just rediscovered the language.[break][break]
"It talks about 'plates', with diverse power, inscribed with 'eternal prayer's verse'," she offered, glancing to the two tablets that laid out on her desk.[break][break]
"Have these ever exhibited any kind of power by themselves," she asked, wondering if how much more about the plates before this instance might be known.

[attr="class","eris109"]"What is the language this is written in? What exactly is this book on?" She can't say she's ever seen it in any mythology, history or religion section she's been in. Neither has she seen her mother write anything on this unknown language, despite having written some things down on Draconids and that examples of that ancient text Howard was working on. "So Hisui... is like an ancient region? An alternate timeline?"[break][break]

She knows of Hisuian pokemon, she just doesn't quite understand what the place they originate from is like.[break][break]

"Iunno if the plates ever did, but I've heard people are testing it in sygna suits to bond with pokemon they couldn't before."

"I thought, for a while, it was Hisuian, but it's older than that, a more root dialect," Yuina offered first. She was still only just gathering her findings, she would have to present everything for evaluation, but she was sure enough on what she'd found.[break]
"I'm pretty sure it's Celestica," she answered finally.[break][break]
"Hisui was what Sinnoh was called before it was colonized and settled. So ancient yes, but alternate not so much," at least... as far as she knew... But Sinnoh was a real place, a real region that everyone in this timeline knew about, so that added up at least.[break][break]
"I've heard about the testing in sygna suits too. It seems... unwise, to test on something no one has any understanding of," she wondered first, but then again...[break]
"But that hasn't stopped anyone before, or yet."

The war of extradimensional threats meant nothing in the face of the immediate dangers breathing down their nexks.[break][break]

"So what is Celestica?" A group of people like the Draconids? A religion? A town? "How do you know so much about it?"[break][break]

Must've been quite the enigma if her mother failed to uncover even a hint to it in her many adventures and detailed logs.

True words, Yuina couldn't argue with Eris in the slightest. If one side did something, the other side of the line was sure to follow suit in quick succession and vice versa. The power balance was always going to continue to sway and waver, but it would never give way.[break][break]
"I'm still working out the details, it's all still very new, but I think Celestica were a people. It's possible that they settled in would be Sinnoh before Jubilife Village was ever established," she theorized, but only just. She had only barely started to scratch the surface after seeing the word 'Celestica' come up without understanding its context or knowing what it meant. So it became a search for the definition of a specific word first that started to snowball into something else entirely.

[attr="class","eris109"]"What's Jubilife Village?" Another foreign name, another tilt of the head and more questions that surface. This time, Reiner shifts in closer, a wrinkle to his snout as he eyes Yuina.[break][break]

"Jubilife Village was the first colonized settlement in Hisui, and later became Jubilife City as it grew and as Sinnoh was settled officially," Yuina offered, sliding over another book, something more recent with computer graphic renderings, and in a centerfold display she offered Eris a rendered map of "Sinnoh" from centuries ago.[break]
"It was easily accessible by boat before sea levels changed over time, and created the first port into the region for a long while," she pointed out the section of land on the western side of the map, an island essentially before the rivers dried up from the snowcaps melting in the north.[break][break]
"When I started working with Hisuian History, I had some resources to call out to for material. I did get some of these books from other collections in the Sinnoh Region, some where here in Hoenn in archives. This one did come from Sinnoh, and they were happy to provide it. As a whole... the region hasn't done very well in preserving or recalling its own history, so it didn't come as a surprise that they had materials they hadn't considered much," Yuina answered. The Sinnoh region had an awful problem with industrialization ruining most of what it had been before.

"So, what got you interested in Hisuian history?" A moment to parse through the maps, tracing the details of places she's never been to. "Also... why would Hoenn have stuff from Hisui in their archives? It was in Sinnoh, no? And did no one from Sinnoh attempt to translate these books?"

"It's not uncommon for academia to share resources or archive materials across various facilities. We have some Johto materials, some Alola, and other regions in our storage here," Yuina offered, just part of the work. Someone at another facility might have a specific field of expertise that could work on materials that another facility doesn't have the resources for. It wasn't out of the question.[break][break]
"Someone might have at one point been working on these texts, but it's hard to say. Sinnoh's academia and historical focus doesn't necessarily favor their distant past, they're much more focused on what's beneath Sinnoh. Fossils, ores, minerals, very textile," she answered, a bit sad, but she knew that even the very region itself didn't care much for its ancestral history. It was a shame, given how rich it was.[break][break]
"So I started gathering what I could and started working on detailing the history, because--," she paused, glancing down at the map laid out in front of them.[break]
"I lived in Hisui for a time. It's not history to me, not really, it's what I remember."

[attr="class","eris109"]"That..." Sounds weird. That not a single soul left any work on these texts. Did the Sinnohian historians not bother sending their notes over either? "Where did they find this book?"[break][break]

Passed down through a family? Found in some ruins?[break][break]

"Do you know who wrote it?"[break][break]

Is it real? Like how she claims to have lived in Hisui?[break][break]

"If Hisui was that long ago, how are you still alive now?"[break][break]

She's a little confused, but maybe it's got something to do with Father Winter sending people into alternate timelines?

It was a leap, Yuina recognized that, a leap that she didn't take lightly and a leap that she didn't take many people on... But as much as she felt like her time was running out, she trusted Eris, knowing how close she and Doug were. At some point, in all of this, the question would have burned more. She already wondered how she knew so much, would she guess eventually, just like Genevieve Cromwell did?[break][break]
"Okay, uhm, how about one question at a time," Yuina tried to placate, just enough to get a word in. She knew it sounded inane, she was well aware... but she would do her best.[break]
"It was a time-space distortion, some time ago, I don't really know when. I made it to the other side, to another time, and I lived there for a while until I made it back again, to Hoenn now."

[attr="class","eris109"]"A space-time distortion... in Sinnoh?" A raised brow, then slowly melts into a full facial squint.
