    Well, that... didn't particularly set Ridley's mind at ease. Even if there were practical reasons for it, exerting that kind of social control over people's relationships and warning them about the danger of forming close bonds sounded cold at best and outright cultlike at worst. Bad enough if...

    A battle? At this rate, Ridley was going to start thinking offering to fight someone was the Forlasian equivalent of a handshake. "I'm up for a fight," Ridley offered. He felt fairly ambivalent about the idea, but if he'd learnt something from fighting the Vanguard then it seemed only fair to...

    "Point taken," Ridley said, shrugging to himself. That wasn't really what he'd been asking about, but it was certainly an answer, especially considering that he doubted the Covenant would be bothering with them at all if they weren't offworlders. When Ridley had fought the Vanguard, they'd...

    "I said more easily, not easily," Ridley pointed out. "Pretty significant difference of scale. And in my world, groups who want to make things better usually try to communicate with people about what the problems are and how to solve them. Even if not everyone listens, it's better than throwing...

    Ridley had shown up to the meeting largely out of curiosity. Nothing he'd heard about the Covenant had much endeared him to what was, as far as he could tell, a group of people who thought their heritage made them better than others. Still, if so many of the Wayfarers were willing to work with...

    "It looked like a fairly standard charmeleon, except that its tail-flame was weird," Ridley answered. "Very faint, barely there at all, and it didn't give off any light."

    "Eight of us have seen them, and six or seven of us have had the dreams, I think," Ridley said. From Jade's response he could guess that she had, and - well, he still wasn't certain whether Andre had heard anything or not, but maybe he'd dismissed it as a regular dream the way Dave had. Given...

    Ridley made his way into the Sunstone Saloon, his brain buzzing and feeling halfway to overflowing with the desire to communicate what he'd learnt while talking with Dave and the Voice. He tried to press that energy down. Most of what he knew either wasn't vital or was known by so many people...

    Well, okay, wow, that sure was a something. Ridley was glad his disguise completely concealed his reactions from a casual viewer, because how were you supposed to respond to information like that? He almost wanted to ask for more information, except for how obviously uncomfortable the chimera...

    Ridley wished he could say he was surprised by that news, but he really wasn't. "I don't know whether summoning a group of mostly humans to solve the problem of human supremacy is like... a good answer to that issue," Ridley said, and took a thoughtful lick of his ice cream. "That starts to...

    "What?" Ridley said in surprise. "Ah, no, I'm a mimikyu, not a cleffa." Well, Koa was from Sinnoh, and Ridley was pretty sure they didn't have mimikyu there natively. Other regions might not share Galar's strict laws around the import of foreign pokemon, but mimikyu in particular were a tricky...

    Ridley noted the way Koa avoided sitting near Wes. That was... interesting? Maybe? "Galar," Ridley said. "Ballonlea, specifically, if that means anything to you." Would people from other worlds even use the same regional divisions Ridley was used to? He gestured towards Koa with his...

    Ridley gave a little wave. "I'm Ridley," he said. He didn't think he'd directly interacted with either Archie or Wes before, although he remembered both of them from the Traveller's Haus dining hall debate. "I used to be human too." "I'm not sure it matters much either way," Ridley pointed...

    Threadmarks: Ch02 - Let's Get Ice Cream

    After the fight, a group of them ended up at the Sun Stone Saloon, eating ice cream. Ridley's choice of ice cream flavour was called chesto berry, but it shared its startlingly-blue colour with flavours like bubblegum or blue razz, and had the same chemical-blue taste. He was almost certain it...

    "I don't know much about music," Ridley admitted. "I'm one of those guys who can only say 'I like what I like' and can't talk about it much beyond that. But you could always try mixing some other genres in alongside the country stuff and see how it lands? If you get known for doing something...

    Well, not having to pay up front for a place to stay was at least one worry... not taken care of, exactly, but shunted down the line to a point where it could be Future Ridley's problem. Ridley laughed. "Yeah, maybe," he agreed. "I stick my nose into other people's business all the time...

    "Sounds like you had a much rougher landing than we did," Ridley said. Possibly Ridley's companions had found the experience more distressing than he had, but Ridley had spent a frankly inadvisable amount of his childhood breaking and entering. Getting yelled at for being somewhere he wasn't...

    Ridley sniggered. Under normal circumstances he might've riffed off that unfortunate phrasing, but they were both in pokemon bodies and the situation was still so new to him that the idea of saying anything flirtatious, even as a joke, was uncomfortable to him. Was that something he'd adjust to...

    Ridley watched with interest as the secondary jaws twisted briefly within their chains. Would she have snapped at him if those jaws had been free? Was that why she kept them bound? Ridley maybe should have been more concerned about that than he was, but he'd never been blessed with an...

    Ridley entered the Sun Stone Saloon without much expectation of finding anything there. Even if people didn't take one look at him and assume he was a child, this didn't seem like the sort of place which would be too pleased to have a penniless vagrant sitting around not buying anything - and...
