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?

    Mewtwo's Lair

    Her eyes widened as she felt the Shadowy blood slowly wet her feathers. This was bad, wasn't it? The more Owen interacted with her Radiance, the more it was hurting him. Shouldn't she stop chanelling her Radiance? She couldn't even pull away. "There has to be a way!" she cried, trying not to...

    Mewtwo's Lair

    She didn't want to waver. No. It was more like... she couldn't. With Owen reaching for her Radiance, she remembered what Giovanni had said earlier. There was doubt that Owen could properly be purified with Radiance alone. It could kill him. But she wanted so badly to help him. There had to be...

    "No," said Grace, shaking her head. "My hope isn't wrong." With quick focus, she channelled the Radiance she was growing ever-familiar with. It sat in her paw, innocent, pure and bright in contrast to Owen's voided form. "This is a small part of my hope. It works at its best when I believe that...

    Mewtwo's Lair

    Grace yelped and scrambled back, her gaze snapping to Red and back to Owen, as if she was trying to figure out when and if Red would step in. Was she in danger? Did she leave? Was Owen going to attack? Those questions fired through her mind, making her suck in a breath while she tried to...

    Mewtwo's Lair

    "Yes, it's all worth it to me!" insisted Grace, trying to stand a little taller. "I think life would be boring if you only looked out for yourself. Looking out for others fills me with happiness because you never know when the actions of someone else could change your life, or another's...

    Mewtwo's Lair

    "My friends...?" Grace's gaze hardened as she chose to stand rather than sit or fly. "You can say what you want about me, but my friends are the best part of my life." Sure, she knew it wasn't all peaches and rainbows all the time, but it was better than living a bleak, boring life without...

    "My will?" Grace offered, wondering if it was good enough for Owen. "And my friends. When we share our goals, they can do the fighting that I can't do..."

    Mewtwo's Lair

    Grace flinched at a particular word— weak. It must have been a sore spot for her. The togetic shuffled away a little, as if seeking the safety of Red, and stared at Owen. "I'm not weak," she said adamantly. "I don't have to win or kill to be strong... That doesn't prove anything, to me."

    Mewtwo's Lair

    "Wh-What?" The very question made her feel sick. It was against her nature to even consider killing— or even wish harm against those who didn't deserve it. Owen definitely fell in the last category. He was no Alexander or any of those Cipher people... At least, Grace hoped that was the case...

    Mewtwo's Lair

    And she tried not to let it rattle her nerves. "W-Well, um, I said before, didn't I? I'm just trying to understand who Owen is. You can ask me questions if you want!" She luckily grabbed her final pair, and gestured for Owen to take the final cards. She didn't really care who won, but it seemed...

    Mewtwo's Lair

    She waited for five seconds. Grace counted them slow in her mind, psyching herself up to risking potential anger from Owen. "...Do you have an answer?"

    Mewtwo's Lair

    Her next question made her uncomfortable. "Wouldn't a different master be... interesting?" she asked. "Giovanni is kind of like a master to you for now, right?" It seemed like she couldn't push for Owen to seek freedom. Not yet. There must have been a lot of baggage the Shadows were helping...

    Mewtwo's Lair

    "I'm just... trying to understand you," explained Grace as she narrowed her eyes at the cards. "The more I understand something, the less afraid I usually become." It wasn't exactly a lie. Grace wanted to find out what she could about Owen, and she did find safety in knowing things. She wanted...

    "But it's part of your life, isn't it? It was your choice to play a game... would Alexander command you to play at all?" Now that she was back to searching for pairs, she failed to find another. It didn't bother her, as Grace seemed to just be enjoying herself. Well, as much as she could...

    Mewtwo's Lair

    "Well... you're choosing cards now, aren't you?" she countered. "Is there trouble now?" She knew it wasn't quite the same, but maybe it was a start? She took the other pair, and now they were back to hunting for more.

    Mewtwo's Lair

    "Your nature...?" She remembered that Silver had told her that hughmons often kept Pokémon as pets or partners. But if Alexander was a Pokémon... did their world have any hughmons? Was Owen naturally like this, or was this something amplified by Shadows...? "Is it really that easy?" Grace...

    Grace tapped a paw against her chin while she continued to hum, as if looking for a pair was like trying to figure out a puzzle. "Liiiike, when you're so used to knowing stuff, that... suddenly not having enough information or being unable to seek more bothers you. That kind of not knowing."...

    "Do you hate not knowing?" Grace hummed, flying over to the top row to flip over a seven, and then an eight. She huffed, finding the same issue as Owen, and flipped them both back over, gesturing for Owen to have his next turn. "Exploring the unknown is one of my favourite things."

    Mewtwo's Lair

    Grace wasn't sure if she was getting anywhere, but as long as Owen was co-operating and not... looking to kill someone, Grace called that progress. Would he remember any of this if they purified him? For now, Grace could swallow her fear. She watched Red place down the cards, uncertain if Owen...

    He knew her enough. Just from this conversation? It made her involuntarily shudder slightly. She wondered just how much he saw. "Hmm... if they have to be laying down, then what about memory? We can let Red lay them out so neither of us can tell where the cards are, and we take turns trying to...
