Wayfarer Comms

[Namohysip]

What? Owen? Yes, we know where he lives. He's with Mewtwo. We just have to go to the triangle formation of rocks off in the outskirts where the bulletin board of missions are.

We're currently in Twilight Quarry and found something useful... We'll return. Some of us may meet with Owen, too.

 

[Panoramic_Vacuum]

Wayfarers, Koa and I have discovered a dungeon that has fallen under Alexander's influence. The thunderclouds above Silver Ravine aren't just a storm; it's the divine dungeon of the Stormbringer, a departed Sojavena Saint.

The Roaring Cyclone is here, and he's determined to combat Alexander's shadow hold over it. We're trying to convince Zapdos to let us help, but he's being his usual stubborn self...

 

[Ambyssin]

Try reverse psychoing or whatever it's called? Tell him he's totally got this and that the next time we bump into him he definitely won't be Alexander's demonic slave chicken.

 

[Chibi Pika]

Hey, um, guys? Some of you are at the roundtable, right? Maybe try asking if there's any intel on Radiant dungeons other than the one up north. But like, in a 'we're just curious' kind of way, not a 'we wanna head there ourselves' kind of way.

 

[Inkedust]

The meeting at the roundtable appears to be drawing close to an end. A select number of us will be going to Tyrrier to investigate the oddities there but one of the Covenant officials has said something interesting. Apparently, one of the branches, Philosophy, has been trying to synthesise artificial Radiance, which may have a potential link to the ARK Unit. Be vigilant.

 

[Ambyssin]

Hey, Caldera Squad. So, uh, according to Powehi... for all intents and purposes, Amida doesn't exist anymore. She's now Surekhi, some sort of Saint-but-not-literally-a-Saint locked in a state of slumber. Also, Powehi couldn't give Lorrel the boot, but he has no idea whether he still exists or not. Another mystery to add to the laundry list.

 

[Jackie Cat]

...Hello?

Can you hear me?​

I am here, Wayfarers. I am calling to you through the Astral Plains. This is my first time doing this while embodied, so please forgive any discontinuous delays that might ensue...!

Test message: please reply if you are receiving me!​

 

[canisaries]

Oh, thank goodness you're okay, Betel. Or... are you okay?

What? Who is that? Andre? What's going on?
​

Oh, uh, Ben, this is Betel. Our summoner. They've been able to host a telepathic network between all of us for most of our time here.

So... you 'summoned' me, then, Betel?

...

Why? Laura said that you might have thought that I would be a good ally to Andre. But Andre... I don't like Andre, not at all. He did a terrible thing to me, to someone I love. Why would I be a good ally to him? Why would he be a good ally to me?
​

I would also like to know. Not that I co-sign any of the accusations. Though, um, this can wait until others check in. Or check out, rather. I'd prefer it if this was handled privately...

No. Everyone should know who you really are.
​

Oh my gosh!! New friends! Hiii, name’s Lyra! Nice to meet… well, hear y’all, wherever you are!​

Lyra:

---

Betey! You brought me and the others here? Are you a god?! And! How does this telepathic link work exactly? Are y’all inside my mind or am I inside everyone’s minds? Can you hear all my thoughts, then? Oh! Oh!! What number am I thinking right now? 183, 183, 183…​

Lyra:

---

Anyway! Just as long as you don’t peek at my very, very secret Aprijuice recipes, then I’m cool with having invisible guests wandering my mind from time to time, tee-hee-hee~! It’d be like a sleepover but more… imaginative!​

Lyra:

---

Although, um, did something bad happen between you, huh… Ben and Andre, was it? I’m sorry to hear things are so rough, and I wish I could give you two a hug right now. Do you, um, wanna talk it out or something?​

 

[Jackie Cat]

Oh dear.

Do not worry, Andre; I am quite well.​

Hello, Ben. I apologise for your unwitting arrival here—the way the summoning played out was an unintended and automatic process. I hope you can forgive my error.

As to your question...​

I am not sure I can put this delicately, so I will have to be direct: your antipathy towards Andre does not mean that you are not the best possible partner for him here. You most certainly are... It only means that there are simply no better candidates in your entire universe.

I really am terribly sorry!​

That's very sweet of you, Lyra, but this may be beyond 'talking things out'...

For once, I agree.​

Oh dear.

That says a lot about you, huh.​

I think I need a moment alone.

Looks like he left to be on his own...

Well, anyway... I'm Ben. Nice to meet you, Lyra, Betel, everyone. I still don't really understand what's going on, but I'm glad there's kind people here to receive me. Thanks for that.​

 

[Weazel]

So, can I expect this kind of juicy drama to be playing through my head all the time?​

Be nice...

What~? It's a perfectly valid question!​

 

[Jackie Cat]

Oh, thank fuck, comms are back up. Hey, everyone. Laura here, my group got dumped way up north, we've been working on a transit solve, looks like we can head home via waypoint after all. We've got a certain Greninja with us – anyone else get any unexpected tagalongs?

Ah. Group telepathy. Wonderful.

I suppose the range is quite impressive.​

 

[Chibi Pika]

'...Hi everyone. It's Jade. It's, uh... been a long time, huh?' (Well, not that long, all things considered, but it'd felt like a long time.)

'Anyway, Betel's with me and we're in Auranosa, on our way back to Frontier Town now. Figured it was probably the easiest place to meet back up. Or maybe Novelux would've been better? Well, I guess we can head there whenever we need to talk with Articuno... Oh, and Professor Sada is with us. Uh, that'll probably need some explaining—she's the one who made Betel. And she also fixed them too.'

'I guess we've got a lot of new teammates, huh? I was the only one in my group who had one, although I guess some of the others might've been separated from the person they were summoned to help?'

'It would seem that I am part of this gathering as well now.'
​

"Oh right, this is... Virga. My... new partner. I guess you'll meet them when we all meet back up.'

'I would prefer to have attained a new form before meeting your allies. This will require training.'​

'...Anyway, I hope we hear from the rest soon.'

 

[Tetra]

"..."

"Howling Precipice sucks and I hate everything."

"Greetings! You must be the rest of my new packmates. My Alpha has told me a great deal about your noble deeds. I look forward to fighting alongside all of you."
​

(Alpha?? That was embarassing. He'd have to talk to Anubis about that... He had no idea Anubis was so... serious.) "Yeah... Hey everyone. My name's Koamaru uh... This is one of my teammates from back home.

"Also I'm so happy to hear you're okay Betel! You have a body now?" (hearing Sada was to thank in part made it irritatingly harder to despise her)

"Ben, if this Andre is distressing you, perhaps engaging him in combat would help. Challenging each other and proving yourself may help you resolve your differences."​

"Uh... I think if Andre wants to have some privacy we should let him."

 

[Weazel]

No, I agree, you should definitely beat the shit out of each other. Preferably in public, with an audience~
​

I promise he'll stop if you ignore him.

Lyra:

---

(Eep! D-did I just hear curses ringing through my own brain? My goodness, does this communication thingy have a filter setting somewhere?!)​

Lyra:

---

Huuuh, I’d say to, y’know, let them have a thorough talk, maybe with a mediator? I know it might be so boooooring and that it can be really entertaining — not for me, though — to see people punching and kicking the lights outta each other but let’s try a diplomatic approach first, shall we?​

Lyra:

---

Anyway! If you wanna talk before getting to that, Ben, I’m all ears! Literally, I have oversized ears now and I’m so thrilled to test them out, haha!​

Lyra:

---

Still! So many people here, how wonderful! The more and the merrier~! We oughta throw a party or something, but outside our minds, y’know, physically. I don’t think the thought of a cake is as good or tasty as the real deal…​

Lyra:

---

But as much as I’d like to hear about y’all’s adventures, my group and I are currently occupied with a lil’ something! Gotta be a ghost for some time, so answers from us might be slow.

Oh! And if you hear back from Silver, don’t say anything to him right now! I wanna surprise him when we’ll meet again! Byeeee~!​
