    Novelux The Museum of Everlasting Brilliance

    Steven's claws finally had unclenched by the time Ralsen addressed him. Barely. "Thank you, but I don't need your pity," he grated out. He could see what Laura was trying to do. Playing the diplomat, appealing to both sides. Except that it didn't matter. "Liking the idea has nothing to do with...

    Novelux The Museum of Everlasting Brilliance

    There was something infuriating in hearing Ralsen refer to his partners in such a... transactional way. Steven certainly didn't take from his partners without giving in return, but to view one's pokemon as more akin to business associates rather than companions... It left a sour note in his...

    Novelux The Museum of Everlasting Brilliance

    Quietly, Steven wondered if Ralsen saw them the same way-- even from the first time they'd met-- as nothing more than stepping stones on the path to his eventual goal. He could stomach the thought. It certainly wouldn't have been the first time someone considered him a commodity rather than a...

    Novelux The Museum of Everlasting Brilliance

    "Fix it?" Steven repeated, studying the Grovyle with a curious expression. Laura had seen nothing. Koa and the others infected with Alex's shadow had experienced a fight. But he and Ralsen had seen something, heard things. But how...? And why? "Perhaps there's something about yourself you've...

    Novelux The Museum of Everlasting Brilliance

    "No... I..." Steven's gaze darted to the side. Laura and Ralsen were staring at him, of course they would be. Asking how he knew-- he just... knew! How does one explain the dreadful realization of a soul that lost its vessel? What Betel had said when he asked if it were possible... He wrung...

    Novelux The Museum of Everlasting Brilliance

    This was dangerous territory. Steven knew exactly the kind of person Ralsen was. A legend seeker who worked in the shadows, who had no qualms about deception and dishonesty. Yet he couldn't stop the words from tumbling out. "The Regi titans. Legendary elemental golems that slumbered for...

    Novelux The Museum of Everlasting Brilliance

    Steven continued to stare at the xenolith, transfixed. Ralsen, the museum, the crowds, it was all background noise. In his tunnel vision, it was just him, the glyphs, and growing chill that seemed to settle in his very soul. A voice echoed in his mind from somewhere far away; too far to tell...

    Novelux The Museum of Everlasting Brilliance

    Steven's stern expression held firm through Ralsen's pleasantries, at least until the Grovyle gestured to his badge. "A fair point," he said, acquiescing. He had no desire to start anything with Ralsen, especially not here with so many display cases and precious samples around. And Laura kept a...

    Novelux The Museum of Everlasting Brilliance

    Steven gave a good-natured laugh as Laura pocketed her notepad. "And here I was worried I'd have to give an interview while on vacation." He laughed again, shaking his head, before muttering slightly, "Wouldn't be the first time." He followed Laura's inspection of the orbs as she spoke. His...

    Novelux The Museum of Everlasting Brilliance

    Steven peeked up from the display he'd been studying when he heard someone call his name. Standing beside the glass case which housed a dungeon orb that seemingly had been formed of two different materials along a bisecting fault, was a familiar face. "Laura, hello!" he chimed in greeting...

    Novelux The Museum of Everlasting Brilliance

    Steven arrived in Novelux with wide eyes, which only got wider when he found the building that matched the one depicted on the pamphlet clutched in his claw. Everlasting Brilliance indeed... He glided through the museum's doors, taking it all in. It wasn't that he was unfamiliar with such...

    Offscreen Activities

    "Not a bad thing at all, to have so many who believe in you." Since Lucien's official, official, announcement that he would not be running, some of the tension and stress seemed to melt from the air surrounding the interim mayor's office. Some did remain, though, given the importance of the...

    Offscreen Activities

    Somehow, Steven didn't think being the assistant to the temporary acting mayor was the reason he was summoned to Forlas, nor would have volunteered to do so if he had known ahead of coming here. But he didn't regret his choice to stay behind in Frontier Town and help. Because as much as he...

    Dreams

    Steven was quiet for a spell. "I see," he said. He hadn't dabbled much with Shadows in battle. The thought of his evolution still unsettled him; what the Shadows felt like. But it wasn't like he was that proficient with Radiance either. At this point, if Powehi was going to offer help, it...

    Dreams

    Steven had been so busy as of late he'd barely had the energy to think, let alone dream. But that didn't stop a singular name from interrupting his slumber with startling, unwelcome clarity. Powehi. The feeling of that voice sent a chill through him that cut through sleep's hazy nothingness...

    Frontier Town Sun Stone Saloon

    Steven's eyes widened slightly at Articuno's response. A choice. It was a choice; his choice. That in the end, if it was true, and he couldn't really go back, , he wouldn't be forced to leave. It was like a weight was suddenly lifted from his shoulders. He still wanted to know, to find the...

    Frontier Town Sun Stone Saloon

    Steven listened to the others explanation of Betel. There wasn't much to add; the realization struck that they actually knew very little about their summoner. He hummed thoughtfully. "I do have one question, related to our own patron. This Beacon, do they summon their heroes of their own...

    Frontier Town Sun Stone Saloon

    Steven tilted his head to the side; his best approximation of a quirked brow. Articuno's odd phrasing aside, that was a relief at least. Not that he didn't think he'd be capable. It was just that guard duty didn't really sound like the sort of thing he was cut out for. No, if this mission was to...

    Frontier Town Sun Stone Saloon

    Combat? Of course, more combat. Steven tried to hide the sour look on his face. He'd had his fill with Zapdos. Steven raised a claw and uttered a sequence of words he would have bet on never leaving his mouth. "There wouldn't happen to be an opportunity for placement that's perhaps a bit more...

    Frontier Town Sun Stone Saloon

    Well, that introduction was certainly a far cry from the other birds, not to mention a relief. Not just for the Wayfarers' sake, but for the sake of the town as well. Steven retuned Articuno's bow, and listened to their rather fanciful way of speaking. (And here he thought he had a tendency to...
