EXPANSION

Once again, that sense of pressure radiates through the room, the sensation that comes with standing before something that no human was likely meant to be in the presence of; the pressure is immense, something that Mars doesn't seem at all inhibited by, and if it's bothering Jupiter any it isn't evident in her demeanor, either. The challenge they've issued remains in the air between you, ringing out strong as they watch you from their position across the room, gazes sharp and cold.

Your Pokémon don't seem to be taking this terribly well, though that's likely to be expected; it's the same sort of pressure that came with Dialga's presence - even if it's not currently in the room, not currently visible, there's the sense that there's something waiting just beyond the metaphorical veil. Something that shouldn't be angered or tormented more than it has been already; something that was there when the world began, and something that was likewise there when the world ended.

Once again, it seems you're you're on your own for the time being; while neither of the women waiting for you seem angry, per se, they still seem very, very charged.

You know that's a great way to bait me into it. Are you trying to do that?

Not really, no.

[...]

Compressed space sure does cut down on the travel time. It's kinda weird, though.

Sounds like you're going somewhere with that. Go on, I'm listening.

It was just something I noticed. Open up one door and your on a nice beach looking over Veilstone, the other your in Hell.

[He could very easily be taking the piss though.]

What's your point?

[She doesn't seem impatient, just curious.]

Just that I would have picked things to make my life easier.

Like the grocer, my favorite bar, an infinite void in which to put trash...

I'm not really sure what you're getting at here, but you're doing a great job stalling, if that's what you're trying for. Again, still not sure what good that'll do you, but keep at it, I guess.

[Wait.]

Are the space compressions in this building not intentional?

Of course it's not intentional. You thought it was?

I thought you had full control of Palkia.

It's kind of a work-in-progress.

How long have you been trying to subdue Palkia?

[Maybe the distortions started happening because of those efforts, he figures]

It hasn't been all that long. Things haven't exactly gone as planned. As you've undoubtedly seen by now.

[She shrugs a bit. Like yeah, it's not ideal, but she's not too bothered by it.]

I would've guessed it be easier to control with two of you.

[Mars shrugs.]

Apparently not!

[I mean. At least she's apparently okay with that.

Bucky's staring at her like she just grew a second head though.]

What? You look surprised.

You're surprisingly okay with the idea of having an uncontrollable god on a lease.

...Yeah, and?

Well, as long as you're fine with it.

[I mean.

What can he really say about it.]

[she's just kind of Like This, i'm so sorry]

It's still my goal for all of us to be alive at the end of this.

[Yes, that's including you and Jupiter.]

It's a nice goal, but how likely is that? We hold all the power here. You're only still alive because we haven't decided to kill you yet.

I thought you said you didn't have full control of Palkia.

Yeah, that's true. That doesn't mean it'd be any trouble to crush all of you.
