He should just say this outloud to her instead of glancing aside and thinking really hard. "It’s never too late to go back, in any sense of the word. You’ll be at home with your family soon enough." He said, that concern for her overcoming his other feelings running wild. He had a determined look on his face, nearly exclaiming “believe it!!”. "I have something to go back to, too, Audre. My friends didn’t even notice I was gone last time. I’m a musician, and I want to go home and make myself feel seen and heard."

He said, a half-truth. Knowing where he stood with people was nigh-impossible, and he just operated on the premise that they all held him at arm’s length away.

"So... Anything in my way is fair game." He said, all the while their dance drew to a close. He let go of her hand like he touched a hot stove. Dylan was never one for close contact. Hugs made him want to vomit. He looked to the Thievul retreating, eyes poking holes in them.

When the Thievul walked out, they established alongside the ticking an expectation. The clock kept time, and their swaying movements said dance. This place kept throwing little games and rules at them, and maybe his move was a reach. But Dylan clasped Aubre's hand and led her in a dance.

The dust of their base was untouched, and the building looked intact. That was good enough for him. Dylan watched with anticipation as Audre opened the door.

Gears slowly ground as she opened the door. Slowly, the gears were wound so tight that they sprung back into place, slamming it shut. Dylan reached for his belt, but his Grimmsnarl put a hand on his shoulder and stepped up, looking down at the door. He seemed on edge, watching the door as it kicked up a cloud of dust. "…Say the word, and I’ll break the door down."

LEAGUE HOLIDAY PARTY (MEGA SOCIAL)
POSTED ON Dec 14, 2023 2:59:46 GMT

The goings-on of the League were important to him, even as an outsider. Dylan had ties to two of their strongest men, and advice to network. So if word of this reached him...

He pulled up like he always did, fashionably late. Put the fashion in fashionably too. Dylan stepped through the door in a christmas flannel, with red jeans with those horseshoes on the butt-pockets, and black ankle-boots. His belt was his usual gaudy crystal mess, but the buckle was a christmas tree too. "Wake up in the mornin' like... it do~on't matter..."

He had an immaculately wrapped present tucked under one arm like a football, and posed with a hand gripping the belt next to the buckle. Dylan spotted the tree, placing his rectangular box atop the skirt at its feet. Whoever got this cold-brew coffee pot was in for a treat.

All the while... My god, was that an open bar? With... drinks? He was gonna earn that lump of coal this year. He made a beeline there, sheepishly saying more than a few "excuse me"s, and halfhearted excuses for being there to partygoer and staff alike, ranging from "I work with Navidson" to "Callan Young signed me to his record label."

Approaching an open stool, he was greeted to the sight of... adult men hanging their heads, as well as children going about their day. Nonetheless, Dylan sat down, sitting up straight. He thought to the other men there, and frankly all the men he knew. had all eyes on him, and none save for Dylan quietly praying for him. He'd been there. Kissing another man. He'd been there before too. Getting chewed out by a woman, letting it slide because he's lowkey into guys. In the doghouse, the dog he is.

The consternation in 's words were all that stopped him from laughing, lest he be next.

had Dylan's attention first. "Can I get... a vodka cran. And a little candy-cane too. Thanks." He said, with a little smirk. Dylan's voice sounded like it came up from the back of his throat, slightly rasped.

STUCK UP IN MY WAYS [FW2]

As enticing as that sounded... It also sounded like probation. Dylan glanced aside, as if he were thinking about it for a second. Ollie saw the look on his face, and arched a brow. "So, what did I do?" Now it was Ollie's turn to glance aside and look pensive. He stood there in his Ranger-standard red denim shirt, thinking about how to word this. He led the two as they kept walking.

Dylan and Ollie set about picking berries off felled trees, and using whatever water type resources they could to let the seeds germinate in the soil. As he crushed a payapa berry and buried it, Ollie finally spoke up. "You started targeting people, for those ideals of yours. I didn't agree with how you went about it, but you mostly targeted low level criminals. Rocket, the mob... Even sabotaged Rocket's machines."

"Mostly. Is that where the line was drawn?" Ollie made a face. "Your heart was in the right place, but after a certain point, you stopped apprehending people. And that's not okay." Dylan thought about it for a second. The first part sounded like something he'd do now, let alone in six years. He talked Professor Slayte's ear off about the potential for abuse of power. Matter of fact, he just saw himself lecturing Ollie about it. He glanced at the ground.

Something about it didn't sit right with Dylan. His heart was in the right place. His only problem then was... staying on the good side of the law. He made the mistake of looking like he was thinking, even steepling his fingers. "I understand what you want, but you gotta do it the right way." "..."
 
"I believe in second chances. You'd be in custody too if someone else got to you first."

Ollie glanced aside, thinking back to his own battles with Howard and Temp. He didn't like thinking that it was too late for someone. The two of them still saw the older Dylan marinating in his own blood. Planting trees and ruminating forever is as good a retirement as he could imagine. "...Where would you have me go?" He said, hands packing a mound of soil around a planted seed. Dylan turned his Boltund loose, having his dog go look for civilians.

"I heard you were Navidson's friend. I'd put you up in Dewford."

Everyone had to do what they had to do. Dylan was more or less the same: in the arts you either go viral, even if your intent is only to have a middle-class life, or never leave your dayjob. He just got out, but the threat was still there. "...You gotta do what you gotta do, I guess."

He smirked, before sipping at his drink. Dylan was finally getting there, face going slightly pale. He looked at Damien intently. His song about collecting skulls was probably not the place to lead "uncomfortable feelings finding their place" to. "Thanks. I couldn't help but notice... black metal guitars are really brittle and distorted, like a synthesizer. And people put synths in their beats..."

He said, trying to get Damien to keep talking to him. "Did you ever create things to get it out? I mean, we all drew as kids..." Anything to stop him from clicking play on something else. From hearing the wet smoker coughs he left in, the loud "let's fucking gooooooo"...

Dylan was admittedly... some guy. A musician by trade, who also moneymatched people because streaming pays peanuts and he didn't break the charts yet. He contemplated for a moment asking if Kaz had heard of him, and glanced aside for a second.

In either case, this was an opportunity to be The Man here. Dylan unbuttoned his denim jacket and tossed it aside, revealing a plain white tee. His belt had pokeballs mounted, and a hand reached down to grip the buckle as he posed for a second. Dylan smiled at Kaz's Urshifu. "I have someone who can play with you, but you gotta wait your turn."

He then nodded, addressing Kazimir. Dylan thought for a second, and looked him over. "It's tough, but it's doable. But I believe you when you say you can really go toe to toe with him. I just had... another lesson from him by comparison."

He clicked a ball on his belt, drawing forth his Grimmsnarl. The ogre snickered, its entire muscled body tensing and untensing. "I guess we're both feeling things out at first. --Grimmsnarl, use Foul Play." He called, leading the ogre to dash up and try to swing at Blastoise, full force.

"...It probably isn't good that I'm early, every time someone tries to RSVP." He said, glancing down. Dylan sat at the outdoor patio on what looked like a pasture slightly ajar from town, down by the coast connecting Mauville to the road to Fortree. His Skeledirge seemed to not mind, rolling in the sand and kicking its little feet.

He sat there, in a little folding chair with his student's bookbag off one shoulder. Dylan wore his pink shirt, matching cargo pants, and his studded boots. His lavender hair was played with in the breeze, as he reclined. There was another chair next to him, and it appeared to be empty.

Dylan passed the time, idly glancing at his phone. He reached into his bag, pulling out one of those ball-shaped canned cocktails and sipping at it.

STUCK UP IN MY WAYS [FW2]

Ollie looked between the two of them, slowly piecing it together. The lavender haired boy, and the dark haired man, whose face looked like his. The wide open eyes, the fear. There was something heartening about it, about fearing what he'd just seen. He approached, prompting a snarl from Skeledirge. Dylan slowly walked up, holding his nose out for the crocodile to sniff it.

There was something off about Skeledirge, that Dylan didn't have to reckon with until now. As relieving as it is that it lived this long, its breaths were sharp. Its eyes were wide, with a slight mistiness in the corners. Dylan bit his lip, and took a knee. "I... I think he's sick. And he's stronger, but... I can't keep doing this to him, just because I'm not strong enough without him."

To that end, he rummaged around in his pockets, pulling out a pokeball and putting Skeledirge away. Dylan then stood up and faced Ollie. "...If that's... Was that you?" He scrunched up his nose for a bit, and glanced aside. "You have a lot of explaining to do, but let's walk and talk."

All the while, the two of them set about repairing what they could in the area. The uprooted trees were replanted, and there were trips to the ports to tell civilians it was safe to return to town. The entire time, Dylan voiced his concerns about not trusting people with too much power, and about pokemon going from companions and pets to an extension of their owner's power and ego. While the specific examples he cited were quaint to the ranger, he eventually put the dots together. "He told you to step aside too. So... He was on his way to get someone else. And I think that means... over the next six years, I'm not gonna be happy with how other people check these people I'd target."
 
"I get why you'd feel that way, but did you ever think you were gonna fight everyone who posed a threat to anyone?"

It was a valid question, really. Dylan glanced at the ground and thought for a second. "No. Now that I think about it, no. And... I could feel how bitter he was when he talked to me." He said, using his hands to make a mound of soil. Evidently, a fruit-bearing tree that was felled in battle still had seeds that could be planted. Dylan squeezed a berry in his hand, exposing both the seeds, and some juices to let them germinate in the ground and grow.

"When you're ready, you're coming into custody-- Actually... I think I know what you can do with those feelings. How would you feel about... being stationed somewhere and defending the people and wildlife there?"

Admittedly, Howard's line of questioning gave him more to think about here. Dylan came in feeling confident, but he was thinking just about comparing notes in this moment. "...Mm. --Mist? I was acting under the assumption that this is just what those pokemon were like, and that they were being poached directly from the past. Thanks."

Mist? Dylan glanced aside, mulling it over. He couldn't keep rerouting thoughts into his most recent fears and fixations. But this mist would put even the past pokemon into the same camp as the future and the automatons, to him. But, his mood and expression lightened when Howard said that to him, in either case.

He folded his arms, leaning to one side. He'd been given another thing to bat around, and was slowly veering out of his depth. While Dylan had a vague "who can be trusted with power, really" feeling, the wilds as a thing to point to were interesting.

Dylan's eyes lit up as Howard continued. "They aren't beings with identities at that point, they're their owners' weapons. Having heard your above point though, my concerns have shifted just to access to the technology and other worlds. Something coming out could be a threat, and so far as I can tell, there's nothing actually stopping someone like me from going in there."

From a Reuniculus. If only it was that translucent, that bluish. This was... He should just say this outloud to her instead of glancing aside and thinking really hard. "It didn't look like Reuniculus. This was less blue-ish. Like a lime's rind." He said, with a lip bitten. He didn't know what she'd do with that information. "Mm. I wish I finished my degree. I didn't earn these bags."

He said, barely batting an eye at her comment. His sleep habits hadn't gotten any better, and he hadn't gotten any healthier, having been a musician by trade for atleast a year. He was almost relieved to not be recognized.

"...It was driving me nuts. Your story too, really. These things only live to kill for people who are already dead. They're not like our friends, they're just people's power and ego." He said, gesturing to her Swampert. All the while, Dylan glanced aside and thought again. He'd talked Professor Slayte's ear off about this, and it seemed to be all that was on his mind. Dylan looked every bit as tightly wound as Aubre, but his concern was solely anger aimed at the machines and the kingdom.

When the Thievul walked out, they established alongside the ticking an expectation. The clock kept time, and their swaying movements said dance. This place kept throwing little games and rules at them, and maybe his move was a reach. But Dylan clasped Aubre's hand and led her in a dance.

With every kick and quarter-turn, he played a delicate dance in the dance. Aubre blushed, and their pokemon tried to follow suit. All the while, Dylan knew it was a game to them. He looked even more sickly all the while they danced. The Thievul disappearing back into their hole was a relief, leading him to let go of her hand, like he picked something off a hot pan with his fingers.

He glanced at the ground, as Aubre sobbed. She said "Thank you", and seemed to get the gravity of the situation. All the while, Dylan looked back up to her. He had a similar shakiness, but it was solely in the trembling of his hands and an agitation. His biggest fear was that he'd scare her off. "...You're welcome. I think... we have our base. This world will send us home on its terms like it did last time, so we can't sprint for the finish line or anything. So... do you wanna take a breather?"

As he awoke, the commotion outside only grew in brightness and intensity. Plumes of fire gave way to the sounds of steel ringing on steel. He could hear it blocks away. That and yelling. A back and forth argument. This is the exact situation he said he’d interfere in, but Dylan was paralyzed in fear. He eventually rose to his feet and dusted himself off. There was a pang of resentment there, as he glanced aside and bit his lip.

Dylan ran outside, slamming the door behind him. His studded boots clacked on the pavement like that of a cowboy, the steel grille on the front catching rocks and shooting them aside. All the while, the sounds from over the hill peaked in volume. The lapels of his denim jacket were toyed with by the breeze, as he drew closer.

It was then and there that he saw the scene unfold. His self in this period’s pink tee with the horseshoe on it, the red jeans and pristine white sneakers. He could even see a little red R tucked away in the collar of his shirt.



The older man turned back, looking at him with a grin. There was a lull in the fight, as everyone watched to see what he did next. There he was, facing , who looked every bit as worked up as the older Dylan. ”There’s two of you now? And this one’s just a boy. Have some respect and leave him out of this.” "I’m trying! …Dylan, there are people you know. People you care about. People you love. And they’re gonna die, and you won’t even know it." ”And it’s your fault.” All the while, the older Dylan’s Skeledirge stood on all fours, making a pained face. Ollie’s Dragonite hovered a few feet off the ground, watching this unfold. "What… You. Explain yourself, and then I want to hear his side of the story." "Ollie. We’ve all seen things we can’t unsee. And you heard what I said to him, that goes for you too. Hoenn is nothing but a place where people fight, either to extract resources or in pursuit of power and ego. They abuse pokemon to do it and use people too."

Ollie, in his winter coat, mahogany hair swaying, cut him off. ”And because of that, you have a hit list. A death note.” "I’ve seen what people are capable of." The older man smiled widely. His desire to finally get some rest, escape all his troubles and all these people culminating.

. "Now step aside. BOTH of you." He looked up in shock, as the battle finally picked up again. Ollie’s Dragonite let loose a Dragon Pulse, a rippling wave of compressed air. While Skeledirge could bear the brunt, certainly… The sheer power of it sent it all over the place in a wide cone. Dylan watched on in horror, bracing himself with his arms. The elder Dylan stood infront of him, and every bone of his had a sickening crunch.
