    Powehi... hadn't always looked like this, had he? Gladion had been inclined to assume the reason Powehi looked so much worse for wear was just a function of what he was. But he wasn't seeing someone wizened, he was seeing some sick. Dying, potentially, if they fucked this up. Made the meeting...

    Gladion had never seen Powehi in this form before, but it with him already on the mind, the sound of his voice, and the way it made the 'Jackal' part in the name Jackal of Lethe click, Gladion figured it out pretty quickly. Clearly the timing wasn't a coincidence, but he also wasn't sure what...

    "The very one," Gladion confirmed. He'd never heard of the "Jackal of Lethe" before, but he recognized what Powehi had described about handling departed souls. He was gonna assume that interpretation was the accurate one, because uh, yeah. Was weird to picture Powehi eating dead people. So he...

    Gladion waved one of his talons in his best approximation of a dismissive shrug. "Should've figured something like this was gonna happen to me at one point here." Heh. So soon after joking with Brisa that he was lucky not to be an outlaw, too. "And the Rangers will not understand turning over...

    Gladion’s eyes widened. “Oh HELL fucking no. They’re dangerous offworlders with ties to the Blaguerro incident, who are being arrested and then sent back to their worlds. If you have an issue with that, you’ll have to go through us.”

    Gladion’s feathers flared up at the appearance of an new intruder. Then took a deep breath and suppressed his shadow. The battle was over. Did they have time for this? Couldn’t afford to let them wake up and escape. He looked around at the fallen Team Miror members to check for signs of...

    Gladion seized the centre platform with a vengeance. He was done with this. Any longer and more Wayfarers would start going down. "Hope you enjoyed your little swan-song." Dual beams of frigid blue and inky flame arced their way towards Miror B. "Because you are done."

    Gladion's skin crawled with the sensation that he wasn't alone. Which, yeah, he wasn't, but it was a different kind of not alone. Like attention was on him. Like walking through a public place with people who didn't know what he was staring at him and he didn't know why. He hated it. He cast his...

    Gladion paused to try to process the ideological implications of that. They… recognized that humans were causing problems… but their solutions was to have more good humans? “But the more humans settle down and either break off from their roles or have kids here, the more new summons they’ll...

    Gladion smirked at Folly. "No more thunder for me? Guess you knew what Lovrina was doing down there. Means you two are accountable." Only catch was that it wasn't in Gladion's mean to be the vessel for that comeuppance. He could feel, through Betel, that Archie and Mhynt were coming for Trudly...

    Gladion’s hackles rose as Folly demonstrated that he didn’t know how to keep his mouth shut. “Need to call in the ringmaster ‘cause you two clowns together can’t break my guard?.” He closed to tear at the stupid guy with his beak before reclaiming his spacing, trapping Trudly to prove he was...

    What. What? Gladion was visibly surprised. He’d felt like he was picking a fight, getting too provocative, like he was going to torch Articuno’s respect just to make his point. And it didn’t happen. Articuno listened. Rationally, it made sense that Articuno would follow, so long as his train...

    [handwaving Volition flavour because it doesn't really take a gm reply and I don't know what his Earth Memory should be.] Gladion looked at Trudly and Folly with disdain. "I don't want to know whether or not that means what I think it does." He wanted to give talking to her another shot. It...

    Gladion took a moment to think. It felt good, to have Articuno say they trusted him and that his group was important. But he wasn’t sure he could accept that feeling. Could he trust Articuno wasn’t just saying that to be manipulative? He couldn’t see a reason to doubt their sincerity, but it...

    "Hey, I'm just playing along with Miror's dumb—" Gladion found himself interrupted by Ferma's screech, pulling him into the battle properly. "Freakshow?" Gladion glowered at Folly and fired a paralytic ray at Trudly's head. That was all he allowed himself before wrenching back his...

    Gladion approached the serpent, not looking particularly empassioned by Miror B’s declaration of artistic independence. The Arbok’s type was a hazard, so he’d have to keep her from his allies. Preempting an attempt to poison him, he channeled acrid memories. (Formal balls came to mind... It’d...

    Gladion didn't like the way the whole new world needing guidance thing was hitting his ear. Yeah, they were probably talking about the actual settlements, but it still reminded him of the way Valere warned him of how the Coven was trying to change people's way of life enough to make his feathers...

    Gladion seemed genuinely interested in Articuno's side-tangent. "My home had a good thing going for a while with unions, but without effort to maintain them, it fell apart." He wasn't pitching Articuno on anything. He could only give them a glimpse at one possible future, one where honestly...

    For a moment, Gladion was unsure whether the red marring the Ninetales was realgar or caked blood. Fortunately, there was plenty of the former around, so he was gonna be optimistic and call it realgar. For now... "Might wanna grab that Ninetales and teleport them outta here. They don't look so...

    Articuno's hesitation did not entirely escape Gladion's notice, but he didn't have the kind of certainty of it's importance that he'd want to risk commenting. Imperfect was on hell of a word choice for what they were dealing with right now. Catastrophic might better fit the quantity of stuff...
