    Ben hummed again. "Well... as long as you're careful." He looked at the ground, kicking his feet a bit. "Anyway, I... think I feel a little better," he said, which he supposed was true - Lyra believing that Mike was a good guy meant a lot to him, even if her also believing Andre wasn't that bad...

    Ben frowned... The teddiursa hummed uneasily. "I can definitely help the Wayfarers," he said, "and if that would mean helping Andre now and then... if I knew that it was for the good of other people, I think I would have to help him. Not that I really believe he'd actually help people out of...

    Right. Him. Ben sighed. "Thanks. I don't think you can do more to help me than just listen, but just listening is a lot already." Ben was not going to ask Lyra to kill Andre. "And... yeah. It's been pretty insane that Andre was considered... not by Betel, but I suppose some kind of reality...

    Ben froze for a second, not knowing how to act at something this... kind. He didn't notice the tears beginning to well up in his eyes. "He --" Ben's words caught in his throat, and his face twisted in sorrow. A sob escaped him, and he rushed to look away, to wipe his eyes, to grab his arm. He...

    Now they were talking about Mike... but maybe that was good. Lyra was giving Ben an opportunity to talk about how good Mike had been to him, which people on Forlas definitely needed to know rather than the version Andre was spreading. "My trainer was a man named Mike," Ben said. "Mike Thomson...

    To evolve had not really crossed Ben's mind, him so dearly hoping that this trip to another world would be too short for it to matter. But as he thought about it some more, it really would be better if he evolved. He'd feel more at home in his body again, and he'd have the power to make sure he...

    Oh, so this was that girl from the mind-network-conversation that had happened after that monster had confessed to his crimes. She seemed to want to avoid talking about that, though. Ben felt a little offended, though wasn't sure why - he didn't really want to talk about it, either. He'd rather...

    Ben looked up to see a lopunny. She seemed friendly enough, and, yeah, maybe Ben could use some company. "Hi," said Ben shyly. "I'm Ben. Are you a Wayfarer?" Her voice seemed familiar somehow...

    Threadmarks: Ch09 - The Bear at the Big Blue Fountain

    Ben swished his paw through the waters of the fountain, sitting on its edge. The water felt like the water at home. At least that was normal. Nothing else was, though. He was trapped in a strange world with no humans outside ones inhabiting pokémon bodies, which by itself wouldn't be that bad...

    Being disallowed from facing off against the big scary demon dragon was actually a pretty good outcome of this trainwreck of a conversation. "I'll talk to Ridley," Andre said. "I need to report to him that I told you, anyway. And I don't think you need to worry about him. He should understand...

    Whatever. "Well, Ridley was the first to find out. In the Comb, he had a vision of one of my murders. He wanted me to tell some other Wayfarers. I told Dave, and then I told Odette, and now I'm telling you." Articuno also knew, but he still decided to keep that close to his chest. "That's it."

    Nova really thought Andre was an idiot. He was practically saying it to his face. This wasn't going anywhere. "If that happens, you won't even know. You'll be in a completely different world, and I'll be in mine. Tell yourself that I'll get caught, that I'll be shanked in prison, I don't care...

    Back to yelling in Nova's face. "Oh, yeah, you're right, it's totally possible that they could have just woken up one day and decided, 'Hmm, rape is bad, actually. I won't do it anymore'! How terrible of me to deprive of them the infinitesimal chance that they'd get better! I should have waited...

    As Nova kept talking, Andre found himself more and more angry. That feeling dulled the doubts enough for him to meet Nova's eyes. "Are you fucking real right now?" he snapped. "I killed abusers, rapists and pedophiles, and you question if it did anything good because abuse victims don't...

    The profession question. That was something that had kept Andre up at night multiple times. Why wasn't he a doctor? He knew that, with his build, he couldn't be a policeman - which would lose him a lot of friends, anyway - but why wasn't he something like a social worker? Why hadn't he taken on...

    Andre frowned. "Yeah? I don't see how this is supposed to convince me that I'm wrong." There were a few possibilities, but Andre figured it was better to prompt an elaboration.

    "Well, yeah. The same voice every person has - the voice of conscience," Andre said. "Because I'm able to do this, nothing stopping me... it's my duty. To ignore that would be negligent."

    Hmm. Thank you, Betel, he thought. He looked back to Nova. "Fine. Let's go, then."

    Betel. Right. Andre had forgotten about them. Better ask. Betel? he thought. Can you tell if Nova is telling the truth? Do you have that power?

    Andre stood still. Why would Nova put in that thing? It changed his type, right? To fire, it seemed. And now he wanted them to take a walk. With an authoritative tone. Andre looked around. There were mon around. Witnesses. He would be safe here. Right? "What for?" he asked, his heartbeat...
