oldale.[break][break]

home of the silent icelands, the great chasm, and area zero all in one. your promise, your prize, and your destiny, all sitting beneath a sleepy little town of little consequence. it should be so easy to reach out, to feel it rest in the palm of your hand, to enclose your fingers around it and know that it is yours.[break][break]

and you, you find your efforts to do so consistently frustrated. every time you move to attack the town, the league moves to defend it, fighting as though their very lives depended on it. every time to you try to rally grunts and requisition arms, you're hindered by rocket "bureaucracy", a mountain of red tape, paperwork, and irritatingly smug snark. and so, here you are, confounded by both your enemies and your allies alike.[break][break]

fine. so be it. if you walk a lonesome road, then you will walk it without complaint. but you will not walk it unprepared.[break][break]

your paradox pokemon are strong, but they can be made stronger. you need simply shatter the ceiling upon their potential and let them reach their true heights. to that end...[break][break]

the command, absolutely dripping in dry, agonizing boldness, seems to seep into the air around absinthe. there's a certain coldness to the voice that’s familiar. she doesnt remember how, doesnt remember why, but it ignites her deeply. a shiver, almost imperceptible, racks her spine as she turns around—it's better not to keep a man of such obvious importance waiting. her business here in oldale—a rather banal task—can wait.[break][break]

he looks like the devil. beautiful, but twisted beyond recognition by some grueling disease of the spirit. she knows the type instinctively; she sees it in the mirror every day.[break][break]

it's a small effort to paste a wry smirk along her lips, even if the effect is stunted by that strange mask of hers.[break][break]

"does yelling into the sky often work for you?" she says, cocking her hip, confident as she regards him. it's such an obvious ploy for attention, the question barely serves any purpose at all. any scientist in wartime knows to keep their heads down. absinthe is not so wise. "you are in luck, though. i have a doctorate."[break][break]

and, she's just insane enough to approach a man yelling into the ether about a need for scientists.[break][break]

"what science are you conducting?"

"well, i am nothing if not a miracle worker."[break][break]

such is the domain of a god, is it not? even before your ascension, you were one who made the impossible possible. now, blessed by a patron unlike any other, doing so is simply child's play.[break][break]

...plus, if it hadn't worked, you could have just gone to Lulu Flint, but that's neither here nor there.[break][break]

back to the matter at hand. reaching down, you grab a pokeball from your belt and release it, summoning forth your brute bonnet. the prehistoric amoongus simply stands there, suspiciously eyeing everything around it while it growls under its breath. as the most "natural" member of your growing pack, it only makes sense for him to be the example.[break][break]

"i wish to draw out the potential in my paradox pokemon." you explain, making a vague gesture towards your mushroom. "to make them as strong as they are in the ancient sunlight at all times, if not even stronger."

the man strikes her as more of a heretic than a miracle worker, but iconoclasts are blind to their own nature as a requirement.[break][break]

and, just as a false prophet might, he speaks in tongues, forming words that take moments to settle fully into absinthe's consciousness. drawing out potential. ancient sunlight. she squints a moment, thoughtful, curious, but unsurprised. he talks as if he means alchemy; transformation, change.[break][break]

it seems this man—or perhaps the patron—has dreams of challenging entropy itself. to unearth the unnatural potential of an anomaly, one that shines in defiance of god.[break][break]

well, isn't that just so utterly delicious? an arrogant goal worthy of only the most brilliant or the most unhinged of minds.[break][break]

as brash and presumptuous her new client might be, he earns the slightest, secret smile behind her mask. such passion cannot be denied, especially not by a practitioner of science. her fingers dance, a soft flourish atop the fabric of her coat that suggests readiness, preparation. she understands his plight—afterall, her very own paradox pokemon could benefit from the same thing.[break][break]

"an ambitious goal," she hums. "perhaps stupid. but tempting."[break][break]

she pauses, fingers stilling. "and you require the expertise of a scientist who may synthesize something that will achieve this, yes?" absinthe's breath ghosts across the interior surface of her mask.[break][break]

"i am a chemist and biologist. this task is in my wheelhouse, for the right price."

ambitious, stupid, tempting. all words that've been used to describe you at various points in time and place. some more so than others, perhaps, but that hardly matters. what are they all, if not all the same?[break][break]

philosophy aside, you've certainly stepped in the right direction. you can see the neurons firing in her brain, drawing up hypothesises and theories and all that sort of sciencey shit. the intellectual sorts like to think themselves above it all, but they're no better than anyone else. for you, the rush of blood and the thrill of the hunt. for them, the surge of dopamine and the unknown becoming known. in the end, it's all just primal feeling, walking down ancient roads, following the instincts engraved deep in the flesh and bone and nervous system.[break][break]

it's those same instincts that cause you to flinch when she mentions the price.[break][break]

fucking hell! some good your status is, huh? it's not enough to be a beast, not enough to be an avatar, not even enough to be the god of the new world. you could be the boss of team rocket itself, and people would still be pestering you for pennies and pokedollars. do the evils of capitalism truly know no bounds?[break][break]

lucky for you, you've still got a line open to the bank of admin fox. that bastard might've backstabbed you in a dozen different ways, but that particular knife hasn't buried itself into your spine yet. so, best to take advantage of that before he gets around to it, yeah?[break][break]

"whatever your cost, consider it paid."[break][break]

hundreds of thousands of millions of pokedollars consigned to oblivion by six words. and yet, in the face of their noble sacrifice, not a single tear rolls down your cheek. instead, you glance down to your brute bonnet, and then back to absinthe.[break][break]

"so, now what?"

it's rare she finds clients willing to pay out pocket. and he agrees without hesitation, no negotiation at all.[break][break]

for a wild, fleeting moment she considers naming an exorbitant price, high enough to challenge the wallet of a man with a clear taste for expensive miracles. however, upon hearing his decisive acceptance, she recalls her earlier observation:[break][break]

like all reckless dream-chasers, he'll burn through every resource until there's nothing left.[break][break]

"now, we conduct experiments."[break][break]

science, like all things worth pursuing, requires patience. absinthe doesn't say this aloud. she doubts he possesses the virtue, or else he wouldn't seek shortcuts. she shifts on her feet, mind already racing, though she does not spare a glance behind her as she turns in the direction of the battered building she'd been consigned to moons prior.[break][break]

"you will follow me to my lab and bring your beast with you. then, i will work your miracle."
