    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?

    Landsverd Teardrop Island

    "I'm n-not," Ridley said, "so s-sure we were chosen at all. I think m-m-maybe we chose." He didn't know about the other offworlders, those poor souls stripped of their memories and dropped into an alien world and alien bodies without preparation, but the Wayfarers had been given a choice. They...

    Landsverd Teardrop Island

    Ha ha, Ridley thought. A distant part of him recognised that it was probably a sign he was becoming a little too inured to violence if he could see a god bringing down vengeance upon him and only feel smug that his juvenile nonsense had gotten under their skin. Then the Ancient Power hit...

    Landsverd Teardrop Island

    Legendary pokemon, it turned out, really packed a fucking punch. This was far from being Ridley's first fight, however. Even with the cold constantly sapping away at him, he was hardy enough to take a hit, although a glance to the side suggested Andre hadn't fared so well. "Can't have had...

    Landsverd Teardrop Island

    "Hey!" Ridley shouted, and then realised he wasn't sure what he was going to say after that. He barrelled on regardless. "Is this what you do, huh? Pick away at people's personality flaws and interrogate them about their backstories? You must have a ton of friends if you think this is how to get...

    Landsverd Teardrop Island

    The cold bit at him through the thin fabric of his disguise, a sudden and shocking contrast to the previous warmth of the day. "If I'd had the luxury of foreknowledge, I'd have sewn a warmer disguise," Ridley muttered to himself. He felt a rush of gratitude to Laura as she crouched down to...

    Landsverd Teardrop Island

    The shoreline unsettled Ridley. It was a beautiful place, green and growing, a lush relief from the harsh sunlight and rough terrain that Ridley had grown begrudgingly accustomed to. He would have expected himself to be delighted to be here. And yet... It was hardly the same. There were...

    Frontier Town Sun Stone Saloon

    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...

    Frontier Town Sun Stone Saloon

    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...

    Frontier Town Sun Stone Saloon

    "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...

    Frontier Town Sun Stone Saloon

    "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...

    Frontier Town Sun Stone Saloon

    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...

    Offscreen Activities

    After he returns from the Terminal Two mission, Ridley still feels uncomfortable in his disguise. He'd assumed it was his shadow corruption which caused him to feel so uncomfortable in his own body, but even after that problem was exorcised by radiance, the dysphoria still remained. It seems...

    Blaguarro Town Terminal Two Holding Cells

    Ridley wanted to take a look in that room. It was almost certainly a bad idea, considering how much time he'd spent recently promising himself he'd take fewer risks. But was it really that much of a risk? He was the smallest of the party and probably the most unobtrusive. Whatever was in there...

    Blaguarro Town Terminal Two Holding Cells

    Ridley hesitated. Anite was right that they needed to move on if they wanted to save as many people as possible, but Reno's words had caught in Ridley like a fishhook. He'd fallen into the trap of thinking of Cipher's goons as - well, as goons, as generic cartoon bad guys with no motivation...

    Blaguarro Town Terminal Two Holding Cells

    Sonora slammed Reno into the ground, as gleeful as any cat playing with a flying-type in Ridley's own world. The comparison left Ridley weirdly off-balance for a moment, but - - Reno had the keys. Ridley spotted something shiny and darted in to grab it, not caring overmuch whether he hurt Reno...

    Blaguarro Town Terminal Two Holding Cells

    Maybe Ridley was being unreasonably Galarian about the topic of queuing, but traffic management and how to move large numbers of people through an area were a specific topic of research for a reason, and the reason was that having lots of panicky people in an enclosed space without proper...

    Blaguarro Town Terminal Two Holding Cells

    Ridley had never been so grateful to anyone in his life as he was to Luz right now. If he'd had to enter this room before his shadow affliction was lifted, he didn't think he'd have been much use to anyone. The horror of it all would have overwhelmed him. Now, though, it was... not fine, but...

    Blaguarro Town Abandoned District

    It felt strange to be back in Blaguarro. Last time he'd been here, Ridley had known almost nothing about shadow pokemon. Even after his disastrous first encounter with the shadow charmeleon - Owen - he'd come to Blaguarro because he'd wanted to learn more. It had always been that fascination...

    Sojaveña Wilds Timeless Oasis

    "Gone?" Ridley echoed dumbly. He'd known from the start that there was only the slightest chance that anything in this dungeon might be able to help his shadow problem. He'd been prepared to accept that the spirit might very well be unable or unwilling to help him, or that it wouldn't show...
