    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? 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?

    Gladion tried to act like he wasn't morbidly curious about the history between Valere and Matthias to a degree that would be socially inappropriate, despite the fact that this was very much the reality. Luckily, he was able to keep his cool. "Lose what? Was he actually interested in fighting the...

    Gladion nodded, faintly smiling at the recognition of what they had accomplished. This was the best reception that he had realistically expected. "I think you're correct, about our numbers safeguarding us. It's hard to control the ideology of someone you can't isolate from outside opinions...

    Novelux Smokestack Hostel & Bar

    Clearly, Gladion's first mistake looking for Valere was expecting him to use the door like a normal person. Guy knew how to make an entrance. Should've been clear to him by now. "No rest for the wicked, you know how it is." (He successfully avoided scoffing at himself.) "In all seriousness...

    The world wasn't ending anymore, but that didn't mean Gladion had room to breathe for a bit. No. That would be too damn easy. Not only was Blackglass Caldera something he had to make sure happened, he also had to deal with Valere. He firmly believed he'd done nothing wrong, but still couldn't...

    “Suppose that’s our cue to clear out, then? Don’t reckon any of us should go on a one way trip to your world.” They probably already have a Gladion. It felt right to say something, even if he wasn’t really the sentimental type. At least not for people who he wasn’t that close with. “Seth...

    "Because..." Was Lusamine really a dimensional threat, though? If they were worried about that kinda stuff, why wouldn't they have lost interest when his dad became lost? Then, another piece clicked. Cosmog. "Because she— um, the woman I was heir to— held onto a creature that posed a...

    Interpol? Given the scope the Cipher problem seemed to be reaching, it made perfect sense. Whatever Orrean law enforcement existed was not gonna be able to handle them. They were probably already compromised. Being an interdimensional threat definitely qualified them as an international threat...

    Oh, so Eldes was old enough to ‘young man’ him, apparently. It was hard to tell with Ninetales. Gladion wasn’t unaware that it was unusual for him to have gotten out as early as he had, but it was the kind of thing that was easy to forget with everything else he was keeping track of during an...

    “And good riddance,” Gladion whispered, not quite looking to project enthusiasm about Nascour’s death but nonetheless knowing he’d worry less for Seth and his world with the his demise. If anyone he’d met in Forlas had it coming, it was definitely Nascour. (Or really it was Alexander...

    Malantau Terminal One

    Gladion's smile was subtle even back home, and more opaque on an avian face, but the expression in his eyes was clearly readable as such when he saw Eldes break free. Given he'd immediately found it in him to attack Ardos, it'd probably been a long time coming, but it was still nice to play a...

    Malantau Terminal One

    The force of Eldes' mental intrusion made Gladion's head burn, his vision blur. His first instinct was to try to clamp down his psyche, keep Eldes from accessing anything private, but there was little he could. He'd opened a link with Eldes voluntarily, and there was little he could do to stop...

    Gladion scattered as Alexander appeared. Too soon. They weren't ready yet. Nascour had also snagged the Lycases without any of them being able to so much as scratch him. It was all too much, everything was going fully to hell... But they couldn't afford to fold, either. Gladion couldn't...

    Malantau Terminal One

    It had been a while since Gladion had really cared about trying to channel his strength into allies or whatever the hell he used to do when he first arrived, but given that trying to trap himself alone in a room with the Void Swarm seemed like the worst fucking idea he’d have ever had, it seemed...

    If Gladion was still a normal human with hands, he’d have put one on Sage’s shoulder or something normal like that. But he wasn’t equipped for such a gesture, so he just nodded. “Thank you, Sage. You’ve made a lot of progress, I know you’re ready for this.” He didn’t think it would be easy for...

    Gladion laughed, welcoming a diversion from whatever Nova was alluding to. “Could always try just hitting it repeatedly. See how long it takes! And yeah. I’ll keep an eye on Sage. Won’t let anyone hurt them, I swear it.” He felt like he could say that with more confidence now. Nothing they’d...

    Oh, that sounded suspicious. Was there something he should know about? Gladion went over his mental list of Wayfarers, trying to figure out who Nova was talking about. Probably not Archie, he may have been a sorta bounty hunter-y sort, but his past seemed clean. Gladion'd gotten secrets from...

    Aw, that was a pretty sweet way of thinking of it, actually. "It makes sense. Certainly suits you. Hard to picture you working any other way." Gladion had heard though word of mouth about Betel's origins already, which he'd kind of suspected something like that would turn out to be the case...

    "Didn't paralyze either. Guess it's like a substitute" But that couldn't be everything. Substitute was already a move that existed, intuitively Gladion just felt in his gut that there was something more. There just had to be. Shadow stuff was supposed to be... stronger? "We'll just have to...

    Gladion tilted his head. "Does it have a mind of its own, or are you... doing ventriloquism with it." (If someone was going to find a way to do a ventriloquist comedy routine with the physical manifestation of their own shadows, he felt like it would be Nova.) Shooting a weird little shadow...

    "A substitute, huh?" Gladion stood up and circled around to the Guardian. "That's interesting. It's coming from your shadow, so I suppose it makes sense that it'd work more like how you tick. Should I..." He glanced at Nova, then back at the Guardian. "Do you want me to test it out? Poke it...
