a spark of destruction

[flammefanee]

he's lying face down on a roof. he has no plans on moving. there's a pidgey on his ass.

[picavecalyx]

reminders of what had happened echoed so purely in her mind like replaying a tape over and over till the tape itself began to burn and blister into nothing but ash. silva gulped, her throat tightening before she slowly nodded. trying to keep a smile for calem, it was the least she could do for him.

" i dunnu if i'm ukay. it's su...hard! tu tell what's right and what was wrung. all uf it still feels like it was dune fur a gud reasun. " it was the message they hoped to keep going. that some of it, that it was built on...something good.

" at least we're nut alune, right? we have each uther! "

he's never understood how silva could be so good. how she could see past everything he helped do to her. maybe it was familiarity, a desperate grasp to someone who knows what it was like in the depths of flare. only she had left and he had fully embraced everything lysandre had to offer.

"it was for a good reason. but reason doesn't make the actions right."

at least, that was what diantha had tried to get through to him in the five years since. he let out a soft sigh, a level of tension drifting off calem as he managed a smile for her.

"i'll always be here for you. i owe you that."

[flammefanee]

he's just lurking outside the abandoned cafe, sipping his coffee. with everything happening, better to keep an eye on places precious to him.

First Meetings Sentences, Vol. 4

(Sentences for muses meeting for the first time. Adjust phrasing where needed)

"I imagine you've heard of me. Not all of it will be true, mind."

"I suspect you know who I am?"

"You're wrong. I don't resemble anyone."

"I hate to seem inquisitive, but why are you here?"

"We've never really spoken, have we? We should."

"How long are you going to make me stand here before you offer me a drink?"

"May I ask you a personal question?"

"I don't mean to pry, but what exactly is it you do?"

"How long have you been here?"

"I would really rather you not smoke in here."

"What does a man have to do to get a quiet drink in these parts?"

"Are you sure I can't get you a drink?"

"You're not like anyone I've ever met."

"Can I ask you a question that may seem strange?"

"Everyone knows everyone here."

"I've heard a lot of rumours about you, all of them bad."

"So, here we are, faced with the frightful task of having to converse."

"I couldn't trouble you for a light, could I?"

"Don't take this the wrong way, but you kind of look like you need a drink."

"They didn't tell you who I am, did they?"

ZA era verse!

Calem made a deal after Flare failed. While many of the younger members didn't need this, Calem had been deeper in than many of them and actively tried to stop people from getting to Lysandre when the weapon was going off.

He gave up his access to Mega-Evolution and was barred from the League. While not confined to Lumiose, he spends most of his time there.

He's not with Flare Nouveau, but he keeps an eye on them. He considers them partly his responsibility.

He actively avoids Hotel Z and AZ.

" du yu ever think abut what happened. why it happened? i dunnu. i think it's ukay nuw, but what if it's nut? "

"i think about it a lot." endlessly. he can't help himself - there were reminders everywhere. even if those reminders were just in calem's own head. "i think it's okay to some people, but not to everyone. i don't know that some of us will ever be okay."

[flammefanee]

Ok so I just finished the main storyline so I can properly rp Z-A era. I’ll make some verse posts tomorrow and I’ll probably be tagging spoilers through the end of the year, though we’ll be playing it by ear based on the dash

ZA thoughts after minute 1 lol

Literally have done nothing so far but the footsteps? Are very good sound to my brain. I just ran on the train platform bc it satisfied me

[flammefanee]

So over 7 hours of playtime later-

I am charmed by this game. I’m staring at the food trucks with raised eyebrows and I’m having thoughts about my boy.

I’ve just gotten into Quasartico for reference

Thinking about Calem in Paldea a year or so after everything goes down with Flare. A place for him to learn and have experiences not touched by the cult he was part of.

Though likely he would be confined to the grounds unless supervised. Because… yknow. The Cult Stuff.

[flammefanee]

"i believe that beauty should be cherished." there's a pause as calem thinks. a part of him is parroting lysandre - he still can't bring himself to care that he is. "but... beauty isn't objective. it's a conundrum."

[flammefanee]

I also think he’d try to argue about being in what is essentially a doomsday cult. He is, but he’s in way too deep to see it that way until far after Lysandre fails

[flammefanee]

Calem absolutely took an extra pleasure in beating the unworthy grunts he came across and then reporting them as soon as he got the chance.
