Alba holds the gaze for a while, silver against ruby, an impassive set of scales weighing the balance of the Admin’s words, before he breaks out into a grin.[break][break]

“Good!” One mortal man’s word didn’t mean a thing in the grand scheme of things. Even still, it was nice to hear that Howard’s opinions aligned with— no, suited Alba’s own agenda.[break][break]

“I suppose it wasn’t my dream. But the dreamer has abandoned it, so I’m going to make it mine. I have to make sure it stays alive.” Dreams didn’t end, but that was different to dreams never dying. Or maybe they just continued to rot forever, eternally approaching zero but never managing to touch it.[break][break]

Maybe that was the fate that awaited the Eternal Floette, far, far into the future.[break][break]

“Humans are complicated things, with all kinds of desires. Dreams of all kinds litter the Interdream Mist. It was the sludge and detritus, the nightmares rejected by the world, that turned my Musharna into the Shadow it is today.” Something clouds Alba’s face, something bitter, then he finally looks back at the Eternal Floette to see it still happily darting around.[break][break]

“Well, I guess there’s always something that has to fill that space. Not everyone can be the golden dreams people like to look towards.”

Knock, knock, knock…[break][break]

Dissection was the art of learning everything about a subject; its inner workings, the kind of things you needed to cut out to even see a glimpse of.[break][break]

Alba Evovae was, ostensibly, an astronomer; not someone who typically held a scalpel, but he picked apart stars and stardust all the same. Team Rocket had made his gaze waver from the heavens, to things closer to home; anomalies, wildcards that defied the laws thag existed everywhere else except for the Hoenn region.[break][break]

It hadn’t made him care about the world. If anything, he longed to leave it behind all the more deeply, having found a place he could honestly call home before it was torn away. The days where he reached out to it were behind him, but still his reach was not far enough to grasp what he wanted; not far enough to lend a helping hand, and now not far enough to climb into the night sky.[break][break]

So it was that Alba was here, knocking on a man’s door, reaching out to grasp something he could get a hold of; the fairy that had saved his life, a tiny thing that held forever.

masked devils

They say that war is profitable, but that was only true if you weren’t one of the soldiers waging it. On the ground, you were wrapped up in the great machine, left with the devastation. It meant a lot of things: people had to flee their homes, rebuild their lives…[break][break]

And most importantly, Alba had not had the budget to buy a nice mask for this fancy masquerade party. The costume shop plastic made his face itch, and while he could at least disguise the elastic with his white hair, it still dug in just a little too tightly. But the rules were you couldn’t take it off, and so he would suffer through the tragedy of mild discomfort for the sake of drinking spooky (expensive?) alcohol and eating cocktail sausages shaped like tiny ghosts in a manor he couldn’t afford.[break][break]

He’s just about to poke his head into the commotion around one of the tables, but as he closes the distance, he’s pretty sure he hears the voices of not one, but two of his bosses. Honestly he shouldn’t be surprised that one or two of them had shown up, but also Howard — that was Howard, right — was wearing a paper bag over his head and had just emerged from under the tablecloth, which wasn’t really the kind of horror he was looking for from Hollowcrest Hall.[break][break]

“No, thank you…” So he turns on his heel, and slinks off to see if he can figure out the floating instruments. And maybe grab another drink. …Maybe another tiny ghost cocktail sausage as well.

It would not take much effort to get Alba on board with Oscar’s project. Understanding the powers, mechanisms, and limitations behind the Eternal Floette for himself was one of his main priorities at the moment; that, alongside his own personal dream project. And his obligations to Rocket for the war effort… and finalising his transition into the S.P.E.C.T.R.A. Initiative…[break][break]

Suffice it to say, Clayton’s invitation was a way for him to have his cake and eat it too. Providing Infinity Energy had been the Floette’s sole purpose until recently, anyway— and he was interested to see what the mind who had created the Genesect template was like.[break][break]

The flower fairy itself heralds their arrival, darting through the air with a worried expression, towards a flowerbed that had suffered greatly in the battle. Dust and debris had choked the life out of the plants, and the diluted run-off of Elisabeth Fiorelli’s grudges had withered the petals to moth wings; delicate, and dirty brown.[break][break]

“Floette,” Alba says its name like a chiding parent trying to wrest control of a runaway child, “Leave them alone. You can do that after we’re finished, alright?”[break][break]

Alba does not effortlessly float on the breeze towards Oscar, but walks with an awkward gait, leaning on a cane for support as he goes.[break][break]

“Dr. Clayton?” Hopefully. How many other white-hairer Rocket scientists could there possibly be?

Alba clicks his tongue at the sound of his name, sounding more like the tick of a clock when paired with his mask. Anyone who could have heard it would surely be dead, but he’d still rather not have to deal with any headaches just because someone had overheard. Not that anyone really knew who he was. The easiest civilian persona to keep up was the persona of a complete nobody.[break][break]

Seniority and expertise meant Grigori was in charge of their little duo, or at least had the experience to make better judgments than Alba did. If he wanted something doing, then—[break][break]

“Hm?” A burning clock turns back to look at a fisherman, and whatever ripples he had seen in the water’s surface.[break][break]

He sends his Poké Ball up into the air almost lackadaisically, a casual motion in contrast to the sharp scent of blood that had filled the air, setting loose his Dusknoir in anticipation of… whatever it was the other grunt had sensed. Alba hadn’t been honed by war and conflict the same way the taller man had; from his point of view, it was like he was jumping at shadows.[break][break]

“This is a bad place to take a stroll, you know. Don’t you know we’re in the middle of a war?”

“Hmm.” Alba makes a noncommittal sound, his gaze flicking towards the shadows in the corner of the room. The ghost of a smile graces his lips, as if daring declan walsh to step out of the shade.[break][break]

“Well, he’s probably got better things to do than deal with us talking about the end of the world. Seems better to share this kind of thing, anyway; it’s easier to protect yourself from an enemy you understand— but I guess I’m biased.” He takes another sip, as their conversation drifts from eschatology to something more mundane in scope. If an initiative about fending off god-like beings and their chosen could be called ‘mundane’.[break][break]

It was, in Hoenn and Hoenn alone.[break][break]

“I need a sword, he says. Something to sharpen myself.” Something to tear out the throat of the Volatile, though he holds no particular grudge against him as the Admin does.

It's the quiet tap-tap-tapping of a cane that gives Alba away. The Battle of Sootpolis had tested him; the way his weight rests on his crutch betrays his incomplete recovery. But he was alive, and the arduity had changed him for the better, even as scars still sew themselves shut across his body.[break][break]

There was work to be done, and he was whole enough to do it. The war was in a lull as both sides licked their wounds, but it was a temporary thing; he couldn’t be idle, especially when one of his direct superiors had reached out to him.[break][break]

“Head Scientist Flint.” The white-haired man inclines his head as he steps through the laboratory door, one hand in a pocket of his lab coat while the other clutches his cane. The Eternal Floette floats close to his shoulder, clinging to its flower as it surveyed the room.[break][break]

“How are you?” The standard pleasantries to fill the time before they turned to more important things.

There’s little time to dwell on Harcourt’s answer, and whatever else might have been behind that brilliant brutality he’d shared. But trying to dig further into the Devourer would be fruitless; that glimpse of pitch-black light is all he wishes to show, and so is all Alba will see.[break][break]

“Looking forward to seeing you again, then.” Time to go check his schedule, and see where he can clear some space… And welcome in a new life of sore muscles. Still, if it’ll quiet the feeling of wrongness that permeates his day to day, he’ll welcome it with open arms.[break][break]

“Thanks.” He doesn’t really expect the sentiment to reach beyond the night sky crystal just under the Beast’s skin; he barely means to say the word in the first place. It slips out as Alba turns around and slips out the door.

Steam rises from Alba’s flask to join the smoke. He’s played the role of narrator for Hitoshi enough times that he’s learned to bring something to soothe his throat for after they’re done trawling through whatever the Black Dog wants to read. All things considered, it’s not a bad deal; poring over the past chaos in Hoenn’s history is always interesting.[break][break]

Between this and howard slayte’s inability to work a computer, though, sometimes he feels more like a secretary than a scientist.[break][break]

“No, I probably couldn’t. I can tell my own Pokémon apart, but that’s about it.” The hues of sapphire blurred together, until you were close enough to pick out the subtle differences.[break][break]

“People tend to focus on the bigger pieces, though. If something is powerful enough to slaughter our kings and queens, you can probably guess what happened to the pawns.” One such piece on the board had nearly drowned Sootopolis completely; another had been the shadowy patron of their inscrutable leader.[break][break]

“Congratulations on your promotion, by the way.”

Somewhere beneath the waves of Hoenn, Team Rocket licks his wounds. A win, a loss, a draw; all-out war has been a mixed bag for the organisation. When the tides begin to surge once more, they must be more decisive in their victory; they have little left to lose, when compared to the League.[break][break]

Alba Evovae lies in a hospital bed, eyes flicking over a floating tablet, wincing every so often. He is, fortunately, not in a position of power, and so he does not need to worry about how they will proceed. His role is to rest and recover as his battered body is taken care of — but his mind is too preoccupied for him to remain completely still.[break][break]

“Fuck me…” It’s a curse directed at all sorts of things. He curses the innumerable aches and pains that ravage his body, the symphony drawn out by the injuries he’d suffered in battle. He curses the inevitable headache of having to explain away what happened to ‘Alba Evovae, ordinary Mossdeep civilian’ during wartime.[break][break]

And finally, he curses his efforts in Mossdeep, and the lack of anything worthwhile that came from all that hassle. No new ground, and no new knowledge to help his research. The dream he chases after is still so far away, only able to be seen in memory.[break][break]

Of course, he really should be dead, after standing his ground against several of the League’s Legendary Pokémon. So perhaps it’s not all that bad.

“Mm.” An eye. The non-response Alba gives is a disappointed one, perhaps even dismissive, the sound of someone expecting a better answer than that.[break][break]

The idea that a single eye can be compared to the lives of his children borders on the insulting. But dwelling on that will get him nowhere — and the man who has disappointed him is still his superior.[break][break]

“Everything breaks. The pages of a book always curl and yellow in the end, no matter how well you take care of it. But I…”[break][break]

Howard and Shirley bond over their mutual loss. It is a raw, tender thing: genuine affection between human and Pokémon.[break][break]

Alba does not spare a glance towards the Eternal Floette. It has not been genuinely loved for a long time, and its new warden is no different. Doctor Evovae simply indulges in the false freedom elijah gardner scorns, allowing it to dance across flower fields to oil the various gears Team Rocket sets into motion.[break][break]

“...I have been given a rare exception to that rule. And with that, I will save what has been taken from me.” Mossdeep had given him nothing to work with, but there would be a way, somewhere; something the League had overlooked. Something the League could not do.[break][break]

“Tell me, Howard. Where do you think dreams go, when they end?” Alba’s gaze bores into Howard’s remaining one, ready and waiting to devour his thoughts.

Alba was not typically one to speak about his history; it was all a world away, and beyond an unopened letter stored carefully away, it simply did not exist anymore. But despite that, it was not an unchanged man who had awoken on the other side, even if the world had only seen it as a single blink of the eye.[break][break]

For a while, he says nothing. There is a dull ache where the flesh of his right foot used to be, where a lump of cold steel is strapped to the stump. That empty space, the abrupt caesura in his ‘self’, feels more like home than the rest of his body.[break][break]

He stares at his shoe, and the missing part inside, until he finally lets himself speak, an old vintage loosening his tongue just enough.[break][break]

“Have you ever lost something, Howard? Something irreplaceable, something one of a kind? Something so precious that when it slips from your fingers, it haunts you as a dream, just barely out of reach?”
