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?

    Strong allies, huh? In a way, that's what Laura and the other 'veterans' were to Lyra. Really, that made her Laura's responsibility, at least a shared one... "For what it's worth, the Wayfarers are really strong now," she found herself saying, in a reassuring tone. "Whatever's coming up next...

    That thing about Silver having visited the old lab – that had been a slip. Part of Laura wanted to take that and run with it, and go pester that guy about what he knew, but it would kinda feel like betraying the trust of this new friend she was making. She silently willed herself to ignore or...

    The notes flowed into her pad – not that she could take them home with her to refer to, not that they'd even necessarily be applicable if she did, but still... it felt better to commit them to paper than not. And then, there was... "I think something similar happened in my world," she said, in...

    Laura listened with fascination, some part of her brain sinking its claws into a mystery, a delicious unsubstantiated rumour. She was such a sucker for this type of crazy story. She unconsciously reached for her notepad. "Cryptid stuff, yeah, yeah," she said, nodding vigorously. "I do a ton of...

    "You've got a real Mewtwo as well, huh? Holy shit." Laura's mouth moved silently as she digested the rest. The storm-beasts of Johto... and prehistoric dinosauroid DNA...? She swore under her breath. "You mean, like, Walking Wake? And, uh, bloody, Gouging Fire? From those weird tabloids...

    Laura didn't doubt Lyra had doubts and fears – but her cheery exterior still felt sharply in contrast with Laura's anxiety-riddled brain. She grinned despite herself, less from the reassurance, and more from the absurdity of how neurotic she was. Lyra seemed like she had her shit together, if...

    Laura nodded seriously. As much as Lyra was much bubblier than Laura, Lyra's experience matched Laura's, and Laura thought Lyra should be taken as seriously as Laura wished Lyra to take her. (Laura, Lyra, Laura, Lyra, Laura, Lyra. She was gonna get semantic satiation for her own name at this...

    Vigilantism, vlogging, and more. But no definitive path just yet. This girl was really something. (Girl? Laura could never be sure how old Wayfarers were, really. Lyra could be anything from 15 to 25, by her reckoning. Nihon was kinda like that anyway, wasn't it? Kids becoming champion at 11...

    Laura laughed sheepishly and scratched behind her ear. "Well, uh, I am, is the thing. But, y'know, it's not like it's my only thing, or even my main thing, really—" She cleared her throat, feeling daft. Lyra was chill. Or, not chill as in relaxed, but easygoing. Laura didn't have to do damage...

    Howls afar. Between the two of them, this kid had about 95% of all the energy and verve between them. Laura blinked rapidly and tried to rise to it a little. "Yeah, sure," she replied, trying to sound casual. "Why not? It's good for us to know each other at least a little. I know some of us are...

    Laura's face underwent a brief, but transformative journey. First: mild horror in the form of a politely fixed smile, at being accosted by a pokémon several hundred times as extroverted as her. Shortly after followed panicked confusion as she tried to process what this rabbit was talking about...

    Laura nodded, and leaned back in her seat, letting out a long, low sigh. "Yeah. It's almost spooky, like, 'not a coincidence' spooky. You, me, Gladion, Jade, probably some others I don't know about yet. All of us involved with that, and then... There we are, rescuing Sage from Cipher. Makes me...

    Laura thumbed her temple at the thought of garish, surgically Frankensteined creations brought to mind by Odette's imagery. Weirdly, the Mawile telling her that she was an outright conspiracy theorist (and turned out to be right)... kinda helped. They really were in more or less the same boat...

    Laura laughed sheepishly, consciously holding herself back from reacting too much to someone getting so mad at her parents. She wasn't sure whether to egg Odette on or make excuses for them, so she just let it roll off – but the Mawile could probably tell she was tickled. "Yeah, uh... I stormed...

    Laura blinked, still processing that last dramatic whisper of an info drop. Odette only knew the guy existed because... she'd been investigating 'orgs' she shouldn't? What did that mean, the underworld of organised crime? Some kind of secret Le Milieu dad situation? Was her dad in charge of the...

    Alola, huh? Noted. Laura nodded with interest. Depending on how long a 'little while' was, that (and her time on Forlas) would explain why Laura wasn't totally sure of the accent. She wondered how her accent read to everyone else... Laura shrugged, with an uncertain grin. "Pretty sure they...

    Laura chuckled sheepishly. "Guessed from the name – your accent isn't as obvious as you maybe think it is? I guess we're both from similar Earths – I'm Galarish, went on a school trip to Kalos once when I was a kid. Don't really know any Kalosien or anything, just je ne parle pas la Kalosien...

    Laura blinked, trying not to stumble mentally as she worked to reconcile Odette the performer, Odette who raged in combat, with Odette the socially awkward. "I can strike up a conversation?" she found herself saying. It was kindof true – it was anxiety rather than the words that made it hard...

    Laura flinched as something brushed her shoulder, and looked around to see Odette and her Mawile maw looking as uncomfortable and awkward as Laura usually did. Kinda odd, really – Odette was loud and brash and all the rest, wasn't she? "No problem," she said, reflexively. "Hey, um. Everything...

    Tlalli nodded, and stood from her seat as Isidora did. "I'll gladly show you to our records, Ms Sneasel. Whatever we have available, I hope it shall be useful to you. Please do ask me your questions when they come to you – it is entirely my work to do!" The Gliscor smiled again, and lifted...
