Noira: Grins at Nyra. Oh… I know you Dark types. Fans of attention, but not wanting to let everyone know. I get it.
Meep: Has proceeded to start scratching Noira's chin. I'm surprised Noira puts up with this sort of stuff. But you love it, don't you, you little shiny?
Noira: Laughs and purrs.
Nyra: I don't- That is I-
Pastel: Awww~ hugs Nyra and ruffles her head floof Look at you getting all flustered! You do love my attention!
Nyra: Stop it! squirms away from Pastel
Pastel: Come back! I love youuuu~
Meep: Chuckles and gets out a laser pointer.
Noira: Immediately, her eyes widen and focus on the beam. She starts chittering like a cat.
Pastel: scoops Nyra up in her arms Come on, I just wanna love on you!
Nyra: Well, I'm not some stuffed animal that's just here for you to cuddle.
Pastel: True, but I'm cuddling you right now, so you've gotta wait 'til I'm done!
Nyra: rolls her eyes Ugh, why do you always do this?
Alice: Goes over to Nyra and Pastel Could I hold you, Nyra?
Shade: Grins at Noira's antics.
Noira: Is chasing her tail like a cat does occasionally, having been given catnip. I love you all… especially you, Meep… and Pastel…
Meep: Grins Yup! Theory: does catnip affect Mewtwos? Answer: yup!
Nyra: I-
Pastel: Of course! hands Nyra over to Alice, turning to Meep with a grin Hmm, wonder if it works on Umbreons…
Nyra: eyes widen No! You are not getting that stuff anywhere near me! huddles into Alice's arms
Pastel: Come on, it'll be fun~
Nyra: For you, maybe.
Pastel: Exactly!
Alice: Cuddles Nyra protectively. I hope you won't consider taking her from me.
Meep: Grins back at Pastel Yeah… how many Eeveelutions would it work on?
Shade: Is laughing like a child This is funny funny funny!
Noira: Pounces at Pastel, going limp noodle as she lands.
Meep: Laughs and raises an eyebrow. Really, fuzzy butt? Zoomies now?
Pastel: laughs and shoots Alice a grin Nah, I'm just teasing her. turns to Meep I don't know… I'd love to see how an Espeon would react to it, though.
Nyra: sticks her tongue out at Pastel Whatever. snuggles against Alice, making a noise similar to a purr
Meep: Laughs Yeah! Actually… I might have a willing "test subject" for this theory.
An Espeon walks onto the scene.
Sarah (the Espeon): I smell mint. Why is there- sees Noira and laughs. What happened to her? Sees the herbs on the ground and looks at Meep. Did you-
Meep: Grins Just- try it.
Noira: Lifts her head, but falls asleep.
Sarah: Shrugs and sniffs some, then starts rubbing her face on it. A few minutes later, Sarah is batting at the ground, running her paw along the grass and lying half on her side.
Meep: Well…
Sarah: Psychic energy kicks off suddenly.
Meep: Laughs Ah, that would make sense!
Shade and Alice: Both laughing
business
Arya: Who is this new person I wonder?
Odelia: Hi, sweetie, hello
Meep: Looks at Arya. The Mewtwo is Noira, the Espeon is Sarah, the two humans are Shade and Alice.
Mewtwo: Wakes up, shakes her head clear of the catnip. What- oh Arceus above…
Sarah: Pounces on Mewtwo.
Alice: Continues holding Nyra.
Shade: Laughs and leaves to go fishing. Or something.
Pastel: laughs I was wondering if that would happen!
Nyra: watches Sarah, lightly amused Do all cat-like Pokémon react to catnip?
Meep: To Pastel Same! To Nyra I'm pretty sure, yeah.
Mewtwo: Groans and tries to get up, but fails.
Sarah: Falls asleep.
Alice: Starts scritching Nyra behind the ears.
Nyra: purrs, eyes closing as she leans into Alice's touch
Pastel: Wow, she's never like this with new people. looks at Alice Are you some sort of animal whisperer?
language
Vanya: just watches, occasionally snatching the snowglobes away from Lachlan and muttering something about her annoying otehr selves
Lachlan: I can whisper! To animals! And people! I'm an everything whisperer!
Pastel: laughs, grinning at Lachlan That's a pretty good point.
language
Lachlan: beams Thank you!
Vanya: Sounds like something Oracle or Radiant would say. It makes sense and it doesn't.
Alice: Grins I don't think so. But from how Nyra's acting, I'd assume so! Continues scritching the Umbreon.
language
Lachlan: JUST an animal whisperer? So you can only whisper to animals? That's not very smart…
Vanya: to Lachlan You are a lot like Oracle.
Luckless: whistling very un-suspiciously I wonder why…
Pastel: grins She really seems to like you, Alice. It's nice to see her making friends.
Nyra: falls asleep
Pastel: whispers Awww~
language
Lachlan: to Vanya Who's Oracle? Bring her here! She's in one of those points at the snowglobes right? Because all of you have weird names.
Vanya: WE DON'T HAVE WEIRD NAMES WHAT'S WRONG WITH VANYA?
Luckless: Vanya's normal enough. But Gunslinger? Oracle? Radiant? Girlboss? Those are NOT normal names.
Vanya: And whose fault is that?
Luckless: Eitehr me or your dead self. Probably you.
Lily and Odelia disappear with a pop
Lily: frustrated arghhhhhh! Nylon!!!
language
Luckless: May I ask why one of your characters is named after a fiber?
Vanya: So he can say "With every fiber of my being…" and actually mean it.
Lily: vaguely from somewhere above I guess I thought it sounded cool but this, NYLON, is NOT COOL!!
language
Ditto for this cult, dropping in all eight of Vanya's other selves
Senator: I was in the MIDDLE OF an IMPORTANT MEETING and- clears throat I mean, hello, long time no see, I guess, new people, wow, strange place, why are there Pokemon?
Girlboss: eyeroll Stop tryna pretend you're not like us. You LITERALLY ARE US.
Princess: Tell that to Trent.
Trent: I HEAR IT ENOUGH EVERY DAY. SHUT UP ABOUT ME! as they speak, they turn a little more masculine, a wee bit bigger and their eyes turn darker
Princess: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand he did it again. Bravo.
Oracle: YOUR FUTURES ARE HURTING MY BRAIN
Vanya: sighs
Alice: Jumps Who the hell- oh, it's you guys. There are Pokémon because why not. The Mewtwo is Noira, the Espeon is Sarah and the Umbreon is Nyra.
Noira: Jumps, careful to levitate Sarah in the air while doing so. Who are you guys? She's Mega-Evolving at this point to the X-Mega Evolution.
Sarah: Grumbles a little but stays asleep.
Nyra: jolts awake when Alice jumps Wha- Who are these guys?
Pastel: to Nyra More importantly, how did you sleep through all the yelling?
Alice: Shushes Nyra with a single caress. Now, now… be still, be silent. Please.
Meep: Grins. Yeah, how did you manage that?
Mewtwo: Turns her head back to look at Nyra, Pastel, Alice and Meep.
Sarah: Still asleep, somehow.
Nyra: glances at Meep and shrugs
Pastel: shrugs Whatever.
