    Vanguard sympathizers over here, apparently. Might explain some of the reluctance, if everyone thought they were terrorists. The news about the Luxio was more interesting. He'd heard something about a sports battling venue in Novelux. Some weird gut feeling he couldn't quite put his finger on...

    Jesus. She was homeless. Even if it sounded like Pokémon trainers had some socialized amenities. And corporate funding, apparently...? "Pretty much. Lamarckism is the idea of the inheritance of traits acquired through use and disuse in the organism's life. Real life does have epigenetics, where...

    Andre almost flinched at the police question, Jesus. 'Just a civilian'? Was he a drug dealer? Probably a drug dealer. "Right. Back on the wagon to Terminal Two, you mentioned you had 'experience with criminals'. That plus using your aura sense mostly to detect lies, made sense if that was...

    Novelux The Museum of Everlasting Brilliance

    Huh. That sounded... both a bit like how crank psychics described auras in his world and like the aura concept over here, driving Pokémon attacks. He peered at Andre. "Wait, so you had human aura powers? How does that work? Like a, some kind of fucking sixth sense, or do you just see it?" God...

    Dave raised a skeptical eyebrow, staring at him. Was he being serious? More importantly, was there any way to tell, when the multiverse was seemingly designed to fuck with him personally? God. "Well, if genetics in your universe works anything like in mine, then if humans are genetically more...

    Huh. Some particular species being sapient while most weren't was a new one. "Yeah, mine's more like Ridley's. Pokémon can be sort of clever within their particular niches, and they're quick to pick up commands, but they don't do complex communication or abstract thinking. Lot of studies...

    Dave cracked a smile at 'I can talk like a regular person, I swear'. "Dave, yeah. It's Andre, right?" They hadn't talked much, had they. He'd been there when they'd gone to see Sierra, when they'd attacked Terminal Two. But mainly Dave remembered him from the wagon, that night, unassuming...

    Threadmarks: Ch06: Dave and Andre Discuss Museums

    The museum was all a bit pretentious, waxing poetic about glorious civilization, but at least it was an interesting window into the state of science in Forlas, and into how the locals thought of their history. Everything extolled Novelux and the triumphant advance out west as the pinnacle of...

    Dave cracked a grin at the bit about going no-contact with her parents. "Nice. Join the club." He grabbed the beer bottle automatically before remembering it was empty, fiddling idly with the label as she continued. Camping out in bad weather eating noodles? "How's that, uh, working out for...

    Jesus. "Technically how?" Dave repeated, looking directly at Piston. "It sounds like you've got shit you want to tell us. Look, we're not planning to do anything to make things difficult for for you. We just want to find this girl."

    "Well, clearly not all the passengers stepped off in Novelux." Dave narrowed his eyes. The Vanguard getting officially blamed for everything made sense, he supposed, but what with the coverup and the fact they were obviously the acceptable target, it was almost inevitable it didn't actually have...

    "Then maybe you should just sell it as air conditioning. Drying ink is great and all, but it seems kind of specific for a selling point if what the thing's actually doing is air conditioning." Dave looked back at Lucis as the kid paced, bursting with ideas. Jean could be a fountain of...

    I'd be interested in joining a game, if someone's up for running one!

    Dave nodded as she talked about her articles. "Yeah, I've been reading your work in the Gazette. Glad someone's asking some actual hardball questions in the mayoral race, God help us all. Following the Escarpa negotiations, too. Suspect we're all lucky they've got you on that one, what with all...

    Dave blinked. The thing made statues of Lucis without even being programmed to do that? What the fuck kind of sorcery was that? Could you even be impressed when the kid didn't even control what the thing did? "What if you lose your keys indoors? Or in grass?" Meanwhile, the Spinda was beside...

    Jesus Christ. Laura may be promising not to report on any of this, and realistically all it would do would probably be to get some workers who had nothing to do with it fired, but the ridiculous fucking cover-up the higher-ups were pulling stank to high heaven. "So, uh, terrorists? What...

    What the absolute fuck, in two different ways. Dave squinted at Gare. "I'm sorry, wasn't this supposed to be an ink-drying machine?" Then he tilted his head at the Lucis statues. "That looked very impressive, don't know how the hell you're doing that, but, uh, statues of yourself? Is that all...

    Dave took a long breath. Train car totally wrecked, nobody there. So... "Don't suppose there were any signs of what had wrecked the train car? What types of attacks, et cetera? Or tracks leading away from it? Know about any witnesses?"

    Dave raised an eyebrow, but took the paper and ink. Paws weren't exactly great for writing with, but he dipped the quill in, put it to the paper and wrote: All hail the celestial teapot. He was more interested in seeing the results of Lucis' invention. Computers were already in Forlas; the only...

    "So you're the big guy's wife, right? Dave, nice to meet you." Dave offered a paw to Floinsa. "Your kid designed and built that all by himself? That's impressive." How old was the kid again? Gerome'd said he was... eighteen, nineteen, already building complex robots? He really did sound like a...
