There's something strange, a sudden change
Around, all across the sky;
A change of scene as The Machine
Goes wild, and no one knows why

Everyone will say it's a great display
And we brought it for you
Cynthia and Lance set off Nukes From France™
Now you know what to do:

WE'RE KICKING OFF A ROUTE FOURTH WALL
BRING EVERY JOURNAL, ONE AND ALL
HAVE A PARTY, BREAK DOWN ALL THE WALLS
'Cause it's our game's anni-ver-er-sa-ry
And we're, so ha-a-a-ppy!

Well... we were in a computer program, right? So we we're fine when we woke up in the real world.

It took some of us a while to wake up though. It took Lysandre a couple of days.

[stitchedupbodyguard]

[Murkrow squawks excitedly, determined to investigate this new pokemon further.]

There's no way out? Are you sure?

[Because she doesn't like that at all if it's true. She has things she has to be doing, Juniper. Things. She has no time to be a pokemon master!]

[kazubel]

[Kazuya looks behind him when Atsuro's pointing at them. Of course, it must be odd to see two of the Bel's they defeated... though since Kazuya's an overlord now, it shouldn't be that surprising.]

They're my followers. I need the strongest demons to fulfill my purpose.

[kingsgreed]

[Huh? Greed turns around.]

Oh. Hey there. I didn't know you were here too.

[That could mean his loyal subject might be around as well. Yes, that means Ed.]

What can I say? They must think of me as an example.

[sonpan]

[snaps back]

Well geez, Grandpa, I didn't realise I was supposed to be the resident Pokemon expert. In case you didn't realise, I'm just as clueless as you. Forgive me for trying to feed your responsibility!

[This time she's more rough in pushing the spoon right in Vanillite's face.] C'mon, say ahh~

[usedwrench]

[Winry shrugs.] I've been here for over two years.

[It sounds crazy when she says it aloud, but then again they always say that it's like time can fly.]

But I didn't know you were here either, and they might have thought of you as an example indeed. [Weird how fun(??) it is to see some of the people from the same version of Amestris around.] Did you just suddenly find yourself in the middle of this -- [chaos] -- place today-ish? [Or did he wake up in mom's house?]

[saxsongs]

I've been free for two weeks, but those two weeks I've spent away from them... and I plan to. Of course, I will still be part of the PGC, but there are other ways to help there than direct contact.

[thermals]

[That...might take some thinking. So much has happened so fast without a break that things are starting to blur together for Tobias. He follows her until she sits, but he chooses to stand instead, looking away as he pulls up memories....many he'd much rather forget.]

The Ellimist is some sort of....super powerful being who can warp time, and basically alter the fabric of reality in any way he wants. He claims that he doesn't meddle in the affairs of the world, but...

[He trails off there, a distinct bitterness in his tone before he continues.]

A pair of Hork-Bajir escaped from the Controllers. Jara Hamee and Ket Helpak. Somehow, the Ellimist led me to them. He wanted me to save these two and lead them to a safe place where they could start a colony of free Hork-Bajir.

[Tobias takes a breath, closing his eyes.]

He told me, in return, he would give me what I wanted. So I did, with you and Jake and everyone else's help, we managed to do it. And....

....he gave me back my morphing. ...he somehow....let me acquire the DNA of my old body. So, I....my real body is still the hawk, but I can morph again.

[suncrushed]

[Sunkern peeks out from behind Juniper's heels again, creeping forward a bit as it continues to stare at the Murkrow.]

N-Not that I know of... I've been here for about two months now...

[Well, Roni, you're just going to have to get used to it.]

[soggypastry]

[She can see that! In exchange for his--however understandable--attitude, he gets a flat look.]

Only if people look up. Do you really think the people around here are going to do that?

[soggypastry]

[Well, there's a surprise! The PGC's still active? She'd have thought--no. Of course it is. There were plenty of good people still around when she left. One of them must have taken up the torch. A wash of pride swells in her chest, but she does her best to hide it.]

There are. And it wouldn't be the first time there wasn't any inside information from the team. [she cocks her head to the side, one eyebrow higher than the other.] You just focus on not needing someone to rescue you again, alright?

[gunkonmyboot]

Sorry, you have to warm up to her first. [Kinda funny advising for a fire-type.] Once she gets familiar with someone, then the flames don't burn.

And thanks for that. [Sure, he remembers that.] By the way, how's Eighteen doing?

[puppetnurse]

I-it's healed! I-it's...what?

[What do you mean what is she wearing?]

I-I always wear this, Kuzuryuu-san. ...what are you wearing? Where's your suit? When did you grow your hair out?

[exeggutorhead]

Well what do you want me to do about that?

[Crouching down more.]

Can you stand at all?

[If he can't stand then he can't stop Envy from going through his pockets.]

[nolongerafashionista]

[Rachel listens, leaving him to explain without interruption. But she reaches out to him again recognizing the bitterness despite this being the first she's really heard his voice since the whole Animorphs business started. Her fingers brushing the back of his hand in reassurance a moment before she let's her hand fall to rest against the stone.]

The fact that you saved them means more than his meddling. Don't let it spoil the good you and the rest of us did.

[She pauses turning her head to look at him.]

You don't sound to happy to have the ability to morph back.

[She has a slight idea of why, but she's going to let him elaborate or not. He would tell her if he wanted to.]

[jellyjar]

[Envy whirls around, attempting to look threatening. How is it that everyone it doesn't want to see is finding it?]

Oh, it's you. What do you want?

[Although...this girl is pretty young. Maybe Envy can trick her.]

If you're just here to look down on me, you ought to go looking for Elric instead. I saw him, earlier...

[thermals]

[Tobias shrugs a bit, his eyes drifting half-closed.]

I....I was angry with him for it. I thought....

[He shakes his head, grunting.]

I don't know what I thought he would do, but I just feel more trapped than ever. I mean, sure, I can morph again...and I have the choice....but I don't know what to do.

If I stayed over the limit in human morph, I wouldn't be able to fight. I'd be done.

[He'd lose all of you....even you, Rachel.]

[nolongerafashionista]

[Oh. She nods in understanding. Yeah she could see how that could feel like more of a trap than being stuck as a red-tailed hawk.

If he were Cassie she'd hug him, but this is new to her. She doesn't really know how to convey her sympathy, concern, whatever without him being a bird.she never had the opportunity before now.

So she's just going to move things right along here.]

Well for the moment you're in morph with an infinite time limit, I'm guessing. Let's make the best of it and do some exploring of this place and our new animal companions.

[thermals]

[That's the Rachel he remembers, if anything. Let's not worry about right now and just dive into this new adventure head first. Tobias laughs a bit, his stern demeanor finally breaking somewhat.]

Let's hope you're right, Rachel. ...but sure, why not. Maybe we'll find Jake and the others if we start looking.

[stitchedupbodyguard]

[Aww, it's okay, Murkow wont do anything

except flare his wings out and caw at Sunkern happily.]

Two months? [Judging from the expression on Veronica's face, that was not a good thing.] But I can't stay here for two months, I have duties. Fran needs me to protect her.

[Veronica kicked the ground with her boot, mostly to get out some of the pent up frustration she was feeling.]

I can't stay here.

[impulsives]

Half of them are flying through the sky already, Wynaut?

[ Awful puns aside, he's going to crack a small smile. ]

At least you're still cranky as usual.

[rocketralph]

_{[He gives her a huge shrug. SEARCH HIM. He doesn't get the cat thing. Ralph starts to pace, shoving icons out of his way as he does so.]}

I'm just glad I found your poke'gear. The last person I bumped into tried to drag me into the recycling bin. I know I used to live in a dump but c'mon!

[nolongerafashionista]

[Sighing she pushes back up off the rock and stands. Well what are they waiting for?]

So let's go. Even if we don't find Jake and the others it's bound be at least a little fun.

[The Houndour lifts it's head and wags it's tail in agreement before lopping around in a wide circle. Someone was clearly happy that the mood had shifted.]

[soggypastry]

[Cranky as--oh, that's cold, Asuka. She raises an eyebrow, then shrugs. Okay fine. She can admit she's got a cranky problem. It's called putting up with idiots.]

Some things never change. Isn't that how it goes?

[thermals]

...Any idea where here might be, speaking of?

[By now he's abandoned the idea that this is the Ellimist's doing. He most likely would have showed himself by now if it was. Tobias' Starly chirps happily, hopping up and down on his shoulder at the prospect of traveling.]
