Video - Early Malom, a couple days after the party

[Action; at Kiwi and Will's house]
[Will isn't expecting a package. He hasn't ordered anything, after all--and why wouldn't he go pick it up at the store, if he had? But he gladly signs for the small padded envelope regardless, and retreats to the living room to open it. A single, marble-sized Pokéball spills out into his hand; he gasps out loud, immediately standing to enlarge it and let out the Pokémon inside. A Hypno appears in a blaze of crimson light, looking around the unfamiliar room.]

Reve! Y-you--I thought--

[A little choked noise, like he's trying not to cry, and Will throws his arms around her for a tight hug.]

I'm so, so sorry. I never meant to abandon you, I didn't know I'd be leaving.....

[Once the reunion is out of the way, Will flips on the video feed to make a post, looking more genuinely, radiantly happy than just about anyone has seen him here.]

Hi, everyone! I've got a favor to ask--or maybe an offer to make? I guess it depends on how you look at it!

Another member of my team arrived today! This is Reve.

[The camera pans over to show a Hypno sitting on the couch, polishing an already glittering pendulum. She looks up at the introduction, raising a hand in a silent greeting.]

Reve is a Hypno. Hypno are technically omnivores, but primarily psychovores--they mainly eat products of other creatures' minds. In this case, it's dreams. Where I'm from, I can normally easily keep her fed just by battling, since that's my job. That's not an option in Havenwell, though.

So my proposal is this: if you have nightmares you want to be rid of, or even if you just need help getting to sleep and want to keep your dreams, please let me know! You can contact me privately too, if you'd rather not speak up where everyone can see. There's no need to pay, of course--you're already giving us something, after all.

[ Pyra's expression becomes nothing less than endearing. ]

Goodness... this little one's eyes are sparkling for you. What is their name?

[twistedempathy]

Her name is Arche! She's a Flareon. How about saying hello, hmmm~?

[The camera is briefly but completely obscured by fluff as she nuzzles the screen as well. The real tragedy here is that Pyra's not right there to get snuggles, isn't it? Clearly, there's no fear of people here whatsoever, even strangers.]

[iustaegis]

[ Pyra's fingers reach out to touch the screen softly, as if she might feel the warmth and comfort of the welcome all the same. Hand soon withdrawing to herself, her smile returns to its gentle nature of before. ] 

Arche.... [ She repeats. ] And she smiles like the sun. 

[ Pyra's eyes flit back up to that of Will's. ] And your name? 

[twistedempathy]

Mmhmm~

[Even that wordless confirmation is full of warmth and pride. Will gives her a gentle nudge so she doesn't completely block the camera; Arche backs up a little to sit down, watching the camera intently.]

And my name is Will. Nice to meet you!

[iustaegis]

Pyra. [ She replies kindly, bringing a hand to her chest. ]


I hope we'll get to meet again, Will.
