⚔ // once upon a dream

[discutio]

[You all know the drill by now. Ignis and Camilla have taken over the nearest kitchen, and there's going to be food in the Pokemon Center soon enough; a warm and comforting vegetable curry. Highwind's even out now, welcoming any and all who might need a large cloud bird to hug after everything that was.]

[It's been a long night. Everyone needs a good meal and a long rest, and luckily one of those things is being seen to immediately.]

Well, yeah, but the part where he'd kill your friends because you said no requires him to be quite fucked up, so I can understand where you wouldn't be leaping into his arms. He sounds like one of the insane guys I know of from back home.

[...HOPEFULLY HE IS NOT ACTUALLY AS FUCKED UP AS SIMMONS WAS, you probably don't want to hear about how fucked up Simmons was - ]

I can get where that sort of shit would shake you up, though.

[greydients]

...he is very fucked up.

[She's not quite sure what the phrase 'fucked up' means, but she can make what she thinks is a rather accurate guess.

...it's also weirdly fun to say; clearly she's been hanging out with you for too long, Jake.]

He's also unpredictable and driven by his rage, so...that's why it has shaken me up, yes. I wouldn't put it past him to go after my friends if he can't find me.

[Sighing, Rey places her curry on the floor. At least she's managed to eat a decent amount of it.]

But there's nothing I can do while we're here, so...I'm trying not to think about it. I'll fall to pieces if I dwell on it too long.

[bloodspent]

Yeah, that's how I've been dealing with it. Being here, I mean. I'm not sure I'm all that important or making a difference back home, but I've got enough people who rely on me to be there for it to fuck me up a little.

[greydients]

...I wonder if...

[...]

...this is going to sound insane, but...what with everything Cyrus has done, do you think time might be passing at a different speed here in Sinnoh? Sometimes I like to think about...you know, that maybe time isn't moving so quickly back home.

It...comforts me.

[bloodspent]

...I've kind of wondered about that, too. But it's more like...

[Mnnngh, words.]

I guess I'm thinking that if his gods brought us here, they control time and space. Who's saying they can't just...put us back where they got us?

[greydients]

...huh. You know, I've never thought about it that way.

[It...has potential, doesn't it? Rey can feel herself getting excited.]

Perhaps in exchange for freeing them from Cyrus' influence, they might send us back home, as if we'd never left!

[bloodspent]

Yeah - yeah, exactly. It'd be pretty great, wouldn't it?

[greydients]

[If they could save Sinnoh, stop Cyrus, and go right back to where they left their worlds...]

...it would be perfect. We wouldn't have anything to worry about, at least in terms of our homes.

[...as long as she doesn't think too much about how attached she's gotten to her Pokemon, um]
