HALL OF ORIGIN. The Hall of Origin isn't without its accommodations - after all, humans do live here from time to time, with at least one of them a permanent resident, and even with Arceus' release it doesn't see fit to just make the place into the glass-paned OSHA violation that it normally seems to be. The building itself contains more or less anything you would need after an encounter like this one, whether you want to sleep or locate something to eat, or simply exist around the others for a while; the large hall you first entered into is likely the best for the latter, and you're welcome to gather there for as long as you need. ...Any food is going to be vegan as hell, however, because no one is sure what else you expected. Cyrus and all three Commanders are present for the time being, and amenable to being approached; granted, Cyrus is going to remain outside with Arceus like the asocial individual that he is. Meanwhile, Saturn and Mars in particular seem...it's difficult to say whether they seem "better" or not, but they don't seem acted upon by the Red Chain's influence anymore. (Which is likely a good thing, whether they consider it to be such or not.) There are plans to be made, of course, and things to be done; for now, however, feel free to enjoy the present moment. It's been well-earned.

Comments

[...she kind of noticed, don't worry.

...

....most of the group noticed, let's be real.]

Well, I'm glad. I've enjoyed getting to know you.

[And that is 100% genuine - she really, honestly has.]

I hope I didn't embarrass you too much in front of the other commanders, though.

[azumods]

If it hadn't been that, it would have been something else; they tend to tease me a bit. I don't mind it, though.

[greydients]

You three certainly have an interesting relationship.

[To put it mildly.]

What will you do, now? Is Team Galactic going to continue?

[azumods]

That's something we'll have to discuss with Master Cyrus, once all of this has slowed down somewhat. Approaching him with something like that doesn't seem like the best idea right now.

Ultimately, it's his decision to make.

[greydients]

...now probably isn't the best time, no. He probably needs a bit of time to think.

[Not that she can imagine what is going through that man's mind, but it's a fair assumption to make. What do you do, when you retire from being god? Go travelling? Pick up a hobby?

...]

I've kept all your letters, by the way. I intend to take them with me.

[azumods]

I've kept yours as well, you know.

[That admission comes perhaps surprisingly readily, really.]

Will you be back occasionally, or is this it, then/

[greydients]

[That first comment makes her smile, but it's short-lived.]

...I don't know.

[It takes a moment for Rey to...find the words; she's gotten a lot better at talking about topics that make her emotional, but this one...]

You have to understand that I was taken from my world in an incredibly turbulent time for my organisation. We're...ugh, where do I even begin...

[Is it possible to summarise this whole miserable story she's found herself in?]

...we're in a very bad place, and I'm one of the few members who can really make a difference, as it were. I never told you, but I actually have this power called the Force. I can make objects float.

[...]

...and other things. It's a lot more than just making objects float, I promise. I basically have similar abilities to a Psychic Pokemon, if that makes it easier to imagine. The...enemy we're fighting also has the Force, which is why I'm needed so much.

[...

Words are hard, and eye contact is harder.]

I really...want to stay here, though. I didn't think it was possible to be so happy.

[azumods]

[It isn't as though he doesn't comprehend what's being said, because he does; he'll take it in, kind of tipping his head to the side a bit as he does, and when he does respond eventually, it's sincere without being overly forceful.]

I'll see you again after you win, then.
