The adventures of Lion, Battler and the magical Spoilerdump.

Who: Those wacky Ushiromiyas [livejournal.com profile] isthedeadcat and [livejournal.com profile] veritadorata
Where: Dining area of the Cherrygrove Inn.
When: January 27th, as Battler arrives
Summary: Of all the people from Lion's (set of) world(s) who are here, Battler is probably the only person safe enough to hear this story. It's also pretty important, but never mind that.
Rating: PG-13 for incest mentions and BEATORIIIIICHEEEEE!!!11ONE

Log:

Lion wasn't exactly certain of what was going to happen next.

It had been nice to see a familiar face, even if that face was clearly from one of the other Fragments, and even if Battler had been pretty much convinced that he was delusional.
As someone who had the thought 'I must be delusional' more than a few times in the last weeks, Lion knew perfectly that waiting for things to settle and for Battler to assume that this was reality would be the best chance.

Offering some soup and promising to tell the story behind the seventh game was a bit of an involuntary action. Not that Lion regretted it, at least not yet, but it still had been a spur of the moment thing.
Lion, who was one for planning ahead as much as possible, wondered if that was the kind of things that a near death (or maybe complete death) experience did to the brain.

Well, at any rate, at this point thinking on what to say and what not to say was more important than anything. Lion carefully tucked in the three recently adopted pokémon eggs in the bed, using one of the leftover blankets as something of a nest, and sat to take some more notes.
The pokémon's reactions to the eggs were interesting and completely noteworthy. Julia had pretty much adopted the three as hers, and Ennis sometimes transformed into an egg and joined the others, probably asking for attention.


It was cold outside and it had been raining and hailing for a long while... Lion gave a sidelong look to the pokégear, hoping that Battler would make it to Cherrygrove safely.


[Feel free to actiontag this thing, as usual I just think prose posts are spiffy xD]

...

[Should he answer? Lion doesn't seem like a bad person. And yet... he had learned nothing is as it seems. Not even himself.]

Two demons had just set up a game. Things are blurry after that.

[Keeps in silence... but he's tense now, cousin.]

Who killed Beatrice...?

[Shakes his head with an apologetic but serious look, urging Lion to continue. The cheerful smile seemed like something from years ago.]

...Yes.

[He needs to know... how much Lion knows. How dangerous Lion can be.]

Brain: *crack*

[...Battler knows he's staring. But his mind is blurred by a thousand ideas coming up at the same time. The abandoned child survived. The abandoned child came back to Rokkenjima. The child learned the past. Solved the riddle.

...yes... it makes sense. Though it didn't made sense at all at the same time. This could be a lie from his own mind, but Battler knows, as he joins the dots, that he's not mistaken. Lion is what she should've been. Lion is what she dreamed to be. Lion is... untainted by his sin.

He stands up, and slowly walks to Lion in silence. He doesn't care he cornered his "cousin" to the wall, or how close they are right now. Was this real?

Was it...?]

Bad idea.

[Battler silences him with a hand, surprinsingly careful if we judge by how agitated he looks. After a few seconds, when he was sure Lion wouldn't talk, moves his hand slowly up his cousin's cheek, then hair... until he finds the ponytail.]
