    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    "Gotcha." Nova accepted his whiskey from Gerome. He clinked it against Luz's glass. "Hope things go well with your kin. Guess I'll be seeing you around." He downed the whiskey. It wasn't bad, but he had other preferences. Nova mentally noted that for the future.

    "Something new sounds good to me." Nova placed his empty glass on the table behind him with a clink. To Gerome he said, "I'll have what she's having."

    "It's a lot of winging it," Nova added. "Whatever brought us here, though, intends to send us back." He downed the melted ice from his glass. "If that's gonna happen, I want to return knowing I did everything I could. Even if it's a thankless task, I'll still try."

    "Yeah." Nova tossed a couple more coins on the table and nodded at Gerome. "No point in hiding it. We can harness shadows already. I think we've had 'em... for a few weeks now. "We can imbue attacks with them, but I wouldn't call us shadow 'mon per se. A little bit of a breather seems to make...

    Nova let Luz's words sit while he thought some of that over. The way she talked over her power sure sounded like it was unwieldly. Almost like shadows, but different in how they could fuck up their wielder. And hadn't Mhynt brought up similar musings when it came to a similar, or even identical...

    And there it was. Nova had talked with Koa before and the kid certainly had an idealistic view of these sorts of powerful pokémon. But at the end of the day, Luz was still a person. She had her own thoughts and feelings. "I get it." Nova stayed seated, giving the cat her space. Still didn't...

    Nova glanced at Koa, too. Come to think of it, the kid looked rather nauseous around the heart of the Oasis. Archie, too. And those were the two who had gotten tricked by a certain zweilous, if he remembered correctly. Was Koa still feeling guilty over that? Was whatever Zweilous did to him...

    "Reputations? Sounds familiar." Nova sat down. His large frame meant no chairs were necessary. "Whiskey, right?" He tossed a couple of coins on the table behind him where they clattered around before resting. Nova signaled to Gerome. "It'll sound crazy, but up until earlier this month I had this...

    By now, Nova had his drink and took a sip. "Mutual aid in more ways than one. That charmeleon? He's someone close to a friend of mine." Another sip. "And Soja 'mon have been going missing. Taken by a group that corrupt 'mon with shadows. We're planning a raid on the ones responsible. Escarpa...

    It was only a hunch. Mainly other Wayfarers musing about how discrete Gerome seemed to be. But Nova decided to follow that hunch. And when he was outside of the Zera, the focusing he'd done on his shadows left him a smidge nauseous. Which had to mean something, right? After a few deep breaths...

    Seems like a good kid. Nova watched him go, then brought his empty glass back to the bar. He left the necessary payment for the drink, then headed out, ready for an afternoon of training with Mewtwo. <><><>

    Nova paused at that. "It's complicated, I think. The 'greater good' feels like a slippery slope." He nudged his empty glass with his masked face. "Maybe it's more like... they recognize a problem in front of them, and find a workable solution." Maybe Powehi was right, then. That what they'd...

    What it meant to be a hero? It wasn't anything Nova could say he'd put some solid thought into. And when he tried to form up an answer, he kept hitting a mental block trying to describe how he saw heroes. Which meant maybe Nova needed a different angle. "Honestly? Heroism is something other...

    "Seems to be a common theme in this group," Nova said, shrugging. "I think Betel's definition of 'heroic spirit' was a bit on the fast and loose side."

    "That's... the plan." Nova looked at his warped, fun house reflection in his glass. "If I can make things even just a tiny bit better for someone before I have to leave this place... then maybe it'll all be worth it."

    Nova shook his head. "I don't think it's reversible." He tipped his glass back and forth on the table. "Before it completely took hold of me, I left a message for my... partner. Told him that if he ever sees me in the future, to do the right thing and take my life. That way, I can't hurt...

    "Not used to." Nova shifted uncomfortably. "Still am." He looked down at his drink. "Back home, anyway." The null downed the last of the persim juice. "This mask... is what got put on me when my soul was closed off. I'm a homeless wanderer. Trying to get people to give their souls up to...

    "So, your world has one, too." Nova shifted in place. He glanced at the window out of habit. Wes' world. Seth's world. Silver's world. Three and counting... and with many other humans on the team. Was this some sort of constant across worlds? Humans with the worst intentions dragging pokémon...

    Nova expected the initial disbelief. He figured his initial impression that, despite Silver acting like he'd done some underhanded stuff before, he wasn't that hardened. So his response was quiet. Especially with the mask muffling him. "He was a member of that Cipher group Powehi brought up in...

    "You won't have to worry about the last one. Wolf's dead. We killed him." Nova casually sipped more of the persim juice.
