maybe I'll make this pretty later but this just exists as a place for people to hassle me/thread continuations outside of Reverie/whatever our little hearts want

[ Maybe he should have told Saturn earlier. In fairness, the only ones he's actually told so far were people like Elesa and a few others in Unova. But he's gotten a few texts here and there — people did see him leave Gear Station that night with a man who looked a lot like his apparently deceased brother.

And he has Sinnoh questions to ask. So, so many Sinnoh questions. ]

How busy are you

aw yis

[cultfavorite]

Nothing I can't set aside for you. What is it?

[Because the answer is Busy, but the busyness is itself for Emmet's sake; Saturn has so much data to go through regarding the anomalies. The only good excuse to set it aside is by Emmet's request, and boy does he hope that's where this is going. He could stand to not be staring at his screen anymore for at least a little while.]

[likewinning]

He's back

[ Because the beginning is as good a place to start as any. ]

Do not tell anyone yet. We have not said anything publicly.

[cultfavorite]

[He's glad he has a plush private office now as the head of Team Galactic, because the face and the noise he makes would be impossible to explain to anyone else who witnessed them. No one does; he's here long after hours anyway poring over reports, and the others have gone home. He's a little self-conscious despite that, but it's a very, very secondary concern.]

How

When?

Congratulations feel insufficient. I won't tell anyone. Tell me what you want to of it when you like.

[likewinning]

It is a verrrry long story

and one I am still learning

as I fill out many many many forms to undeclare him dead

[cultfavorite]

Paperwork? That's a damper on any celebration.

I imagine you both must be overwhelmed.

[likewinning]

[ Saturn gets a SELFIE of Emmet with a massive stack of papers. There's a Joltik on his head. Ingo is in the background. ]

We are.

[cultfavorite]

[Ah, look at them. Seeing them makes the tenor of this different, somehow. He's happy for them; he was before, but it's not the same over text. Now it feels real. He sits at his desk with his phone and smiles vaguely for a bit before responding.]

It's good to see you reunited.

[likewinning]

Thank you

and

thank you for your help over however long it has been

[ How long has it been? He's lost track. Long enough for him to have to fill out a metric ton of paperwork, at least. He told them Ingo wasn't dead. ]

But I did not contact you just to tell you he was back

[cultfavorite]

What is it, then?

Rest assured, we aren't going to stop investigating just because he's returned. If you were wondering about that. I wouldn't be satisfied with considering the case closed now.

[likewinning]

I would not expect anything less from you

Does "Hisui" mean anything to you?

[cultfavorite]

Yes, that was the old name of the Sinnoh region. Over a century ago. Why?

[likewinning]

Because that is where Ingo has been

[cultfavorite]

Are you pulling my leg

Of course you're not

Through time and space?

[likewinning]

Yes

The space part is important too but time??

I think he is still wrapping his head around the fact that everyone he knew there is dead

[cultfavorite]

Understandably.

How much do you know about Dialga and Palkia?

[likewinning]

Verrrry little

[cultfavorite]

They're two legendary Pokemon that rule over time and space respectively. Both are fully capable of creating this kind of phenomenon, if they worked together. And both were recently tampered with.

The balance of the world may have been shaken by Cyrus's actions. Before he was taken himself into a portal to another realm.

That's only a theory.

[likewinning]

So you are saying I can blame Cyrus for this

[cultfavorite]

Scientifically speaking, I have no hard evidence of that yet.

Emotionally speaking, feel free.

[likewinning]

Done and done

[cultfavorite]

When you're both ready, you ought to make the trip out to Sinnoh.

[likewinning]

Yes. That is the plan, eventually. It will take some time. He is still processing everything.

But if you are in Unova, it would be good for you to talk with him about Sinnoh.

[cultfavorite]

I can make the trip whenever you'd both like to see me. I could stand to get away. And I want to hear more, too.

[likewinning]

I think he will be ready any time. He is doing verrrry well all things considered.

But he does not remember that pokemon have abilities. I won against him today.

[ fuck haxorus all my homies hate haxorus. ]

[cultfavorite]

So you're saying I should make it a point to arrive before he remembers. Bronzor could use some training.

[likewinning]

He has to learn somehow.

[cultfavorite]

👌

I'll begin making plans.

[likewinning]

Let me know when and I will make arrangements on my end as well.

[cultfavorite]

Next week, perhaps? I have some things to wrap up here before I can step away, but I'd like to come sooner rather than later.

[likewinning]

That is fine with me.

APPARENTLY I am on leave for another three weeks.

[ because he has been working way too much and everyone knows it. ]

[cultfavorite]

That sounds more than appropriate. Do you need a distraction, perhaps? It never was a good idea to leave you alone. Next week, then.

[likewinning]

I always need a distraction.

I will see you then.
