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?

    "Oh." Again, that was not an answer Steven was expecting, and he was left staring at Koa with a puzzled expression and no more answers than he had previously. "That's... not what I saw. I didn't really see much of anything, to be honest. It was dark, and I heard a voice speaking to me...

    Steven brought a claw to his chin. "Perhaps? Although I didn't properly use Radiance myself, I certainly felt its effects. But I hadn't been trying to use it at the time. I remember wanting to help, so desperately. To be able to keep our plans from being disrupted, otherwise the fate of so many...

    "Ah, so he's alive. That's good." For some reason, it sounded like Steven was simultaneously relieved, yet apprehensive of the news. Though he quickly hid his unease in a chuckle. "And researching mega stones? It certainly sounds like something I would do." Steven listened as Koa beamed up at...

    Steven blinked. That was... not the reaction he'd been expecting. Or maybe it had been, originally. Now, though? After everything he'd done, how he'd conducted himself. Koa had every right to call him a poor excuse for a Champion. Yet he didn't. It managed to shake loose a small chuckle of...

    "Ah, thank you," Steven mumbled. It was rote recitation, since he wasn't entirely sure he should accept congratulations for something he hadn't intended to do. But it's not like he could undo it, either. "It's helped to abandon the idea of merit when it comes to evolution, even if it's dictated...

    'Out thinking.' Steven almost could have laughed at the innocent way Koa phrased it. Although 'complete meltdown caused by presuming he faced the same monumental expectations he was used to bearing, along with a sense of inadequacy from being stripped of his usual lifelines when he'd reached...

    Koa's forgiveness sounded genuine enough, but there was some hesitation in his reply. Steven winced, knitting his claws together and drawing his arms close to his body. Of course it wouldn't be so easy to climb out of the hole he'd dug for himself. He held Koa's gaze for a moment before he...

    "It's about--" Steven froze when Koa turned around. The genuine curiosity and amiable look on Koa's face; gods why couldn't this be an easy conversation. He sighed, motioning with one arm for Koa to follow him. He ushered the two of them to one of the nearby rooftops, somewhere with a bit more...

    Threadmarks: [Ch05] - An apology, long overdue

    The meeting in Sybil's workshop ended successfully enough for Steven's taste. Not a complete success, given the minor setback with Leona, not to mention he was still rather unnerved by his own strange reaction to the Relic. But neither of those were enough to deter him from finally finding Koa...

    "In truth, I'm not sure I've been attempting anything," Steven admitted, eyes uptilting in mild embarrassment. "I think... as much as I'd wanted to use Radiance, I also didn't. If that makes any sense." He thought back to the raid on Cipher's base, how the gift of Radiance had been shoved in...

    Steven nodded at Sybil's words before his eyes furrowed in thought. The Relic was invaluable, and Cipher was still out there searching for it. It needed to stay somewhere guarded and safe. Then how could they bring its power to those who needed it most? He almost spoke up to offer his...

    "Ah, and here I was hoping I could witness a live demonstration." Steven kept his tone light, giving Lyle an easy smile that conveyed he wasn't actually disappointed. "If it helps, I haven't been able to use it myself yet either. I felt the power when the Wandering Light bestowed it, but nothing...

    Steven nodded first at Wes, then Koa. "I agree, if the Relic is still sufficiently capable, we should test it now to see if it can cure others. But before we do, I'd like to take a look at the Relic myself. Perhaps I might be able to glean something new from a closer examination? I wouldn't say...

    Steven continued to stare with wide-eyed alarm at what had just transpired. What exactly had transpired, he didn't know. But he could tell at least that it was some kind of cleansing. A horrifically taxing and painful cleansing. Shakily, he spoke up, some of the earlier hope he'd felt at the...

    Steven watched in wide-eyed wonder as the Relic glowed with Radiance-imbued power. His wonder, though, quickly turned to dread at the state of three of their party; one more than was affected at the Oasis. If the Relic had healing properties, why was it harming them instead? He hung in tense...

    "Ah, yes that's me. Although it must have been quite a while that you've been away, if you haven't seen me since I was a Beldum!" He chimed a light laugh before quieting into a slightly awkward smile. "Ah, sorry. That was an attempt at a joke. I evolved somewhat recently, within the last...

    Steven visibly recoiled when Sybil unwrapped the leg. Her souvenir was a leg. She had someone's leg. And not because they'd chosen to donate it to science. "I, um, thank you," he managed, a slightly woozy look crossing his expression. "How, uh, innovative." He was rather grateful when she...

    Steven spared a moment to return Koa's wave with a nod of acknowledgement. The lingering thought that he owed the young trainer quite the explanation still weighed on his mind. He'd try to catch up with Koa afterward, but for now, Sybil's words buried his worries as quickly and thoroughly a...

    Startled by a sigh, Steven turned to see a Cyndaquil tuck some paper away in his bag and stare skyward. Mistaking their reaction for something he did, Steven felt compelled to speak up and quickly waved an apologetic claw their way. "Ah sorry, my apologies. I didn't mean to disturb your...

    "When I got your summons, I came as quickly as I could," said Steven, offering Sybil a polite bow as he entered her workshop. He couldn't hide his eager glance towards where the Relic rested on her desk. Before he got too caught up in the excitement, he looked back at Sybil with a quiet hum...
