ღ you know i'll take you to another world

[anythingforyou]

[...Well, if nothing else, this trip to Giratina's World has been enlightening if nothing else. Even if everybody just kind of found out nothing that they really wanted to find out, nobody had to die tonight, and frankly, that was enough.

This has to be one of the oddest places to do their usual 'after near death experience' parties, to say the least, but food is generally one of the better cures for such a thing and will be seen to, one way or another. Even in this weird, weird world.

Rest easy, everyone. Even in...quite possibly the most uneasy place known to man.]

Just the way it keeps on moving forward and all that. See, time on Earth - and on Sinnoh, when it's working - it just goes in a straight line. One thing happens, and then the next thing happens. This feels more like a bubble, everything all at once.

Of course, back home, time moves in a Jeremy Bearimy.

[It's fucking happening]

[anythingforyou]

[...Okay, that makes sense at the very least. On some level, but--]

That does make sense, really. But...if you'll forgive the question, what is a...Jeremy Bearimy...?

[This. This is gonna be a Thing, isn't it.]

[eudaimonikos]

Ah. [Michael thinks for a moment, then pulls a notepad out of one of his pockets and draws on it for a moment before handing it over.] That's what the timeline in the afterlife looks like.

[you have no idea how much I hate this show]

It's shaped a bit like the name "Jeremy Bearimy" in a flowery English cursive, so that's what we call it.

[you know, I'm starting to get the idea]

...You know, I'm...not quite certain what I expected.

[Honestly, she was kind of expecting like. Maybe a literal bear cub shaped thing? It sounded so cutesy, what the fuck.]

Does it simply move in this sort of order, and loop around again, then? Or does it move any direction it so wishes?

[eudaimonikos]

It moves in a Jeremy Bearimy.

[He sort of traces the shape of the, uh. Jeremy Bearimy.]

...I've heard a great many weird things here, Michael.

This may actually win for the oddest thing I have heard of, truly.

[like she is watching him trace this shit and it is wild as hell? like, what the fuck. What the FUCK]

[eudaimonikos]

...really?

[He looks again at his paper, then at her.]

It's...just Jeremy Bearimy.

[anythingforyou]

That's not how time is supposed to work.

[eudaimonikos]

Well, not for you. Makes perfect sense for us.

[just don't ask about the dot above the I]

[anythingforyou]

[Just. Kind of pressing her face in her hands.]

I suppose it makes about as much sense as anything in a world that doesn't run like earth...

[eudaimonikos]

The humans there don't usually realize it's happening. I think - I've never heard any of them say anything about it. Honestly, I don't know how well you could pick up on it, I'm not sure how you experience the passage of time.
