Yes, I'll meet you coming back when the universe has expanded

[azumods]

[Mars' chains had faded away as soon as the chains on Palkia had shattered, that unnatural red glow leaving her eyes; she doesn't stumble, to her credit, and seems to be trying to resist the urge to flinch or anything, but she's...not precisely looking too hot, either. Not like she's going to faint or anything, just like she's been through A Lot.

Jupiter is staying near her for the time being; ultimately, she's the one that addresses you.]

You guys can stay here if you want. Or don't, I don't care enough to insist. But we've got food and beds that probably beat the Center's, at least.

We'll be around, either way. Since I doubt you guys are just going to leave us alone after all that. Do what you want.


[OOC: Consider this a log to cover both any afterparty whatnot you want to get up to, as well as something to carry over into Sunday! Both Jupiter and Mars will be available for NPC threads on this particular log, should they be desired.]

Ah, but it is. [she is TRYING to be SINCERE HERE, MICHAEL] Even the intent takes no shortage of mettle, with an unfamiliar deity involved.

[eudaimonikos]

Would've thought you'd be all mad about it.

[But he grins a little. He'll remember this next time he wants to attack a god?]

So, what do we do with that egg, you think? Do you stick it in the Pokeball when it hatches, or...?

[divinedescendant]

If true danger comes, it's heartening to know I am in good hands.

[PLEASE don't make her regret accidentally giving you permission to fight god]

We will see what our new friend thinks when they come to join us properly, but if they will be staying with us for a time, I would like a Pokéball for them, if only for safety reasons... But you know I love to let them roam.

[see: Duma, still making an active attempt to hide behind her legs, like he thinks he's slick]

[eudaimonikos]

[At least he's not literally the devil? Oh wait]

Is that blasphemy?

[divinedescendant]

I do hope not. Oh, I am going to have so much reading and researching to do before this one hatches...

[eudaimonikos]

Manaphy didn't come up in any of the god lists people gave us, anyway. Maybe it doesn't count.

[Or they just didn't think y'all could find it in the entire ocean?]

[divinedescendant]

In a pantheon of this size, of course some deities are considered minor, compared to others. Even so, I would be remiss to treat them with any less respect, especially after being given a gift like this.

[eudaimonikos]

[Michael arches an eyebrow at the egg, clearly questioning how much of a gift an infant is.

He's not gonna say that, he's put his foot in it enough today.]

Right. How does god reproduction work, you think, are there a bunch of them floating around?
