Kura just stares at Mew in genuine shock.

“That was… I don’t even…. HUH???? How… in the FUCK… is that a GUESS???”

“THAT WAS A WHOLE-ASS THEORY AND, JUDGING BY THEIR REACTIONS, IT WAS DEAD-ON.”

(As Flatline reels in their emotions, Mewtwo approaches them - giving Mew a stern look as before turning to the demon before him.)

Flatline: “…Yeah. It’s better you guys know upfront, anyways. Sorry for, uh… not saying anything sooner.”

Mewtwo: “No, no- I get it. That’s… definitely a lot to unload on someone you just met - and it reveals things about yourselves that you might not want people to know… so I totally understand why you were hesitant.”

(Mewtwo can’t help but silently notice the way Flatline and Cyzon seem to stand so close together - like they’re trying to protect one another. It… sort of reminds him of himself and his own siblings. Maybe these demons are family, too.)

(…Maybe they weren’t so different after all.)

Mew: “Yeah. Uh… sorry about that. Kind of just slipped out.”

Lucario: “Sorry, what was that you said earlier? About acting on impulse? And how I shouldn’t do it?”

Mew: “Oh, shut it- I know I’m a hypocrite now…”

(Mew rolls their eyes at Lucario’s jab, but they can’t stay mad at her. She’s not wrong, after all.)

Lucario: “…Weird to think that there’s a universe out there where we only exist in video games, though. Nothing more than images on a screen…”

(Before she can think too much more on it, Cyzon speaks up.)

Yippie! Everything is solved and everyone is (mostly) okay with each other! Now we can take some time to do some more chill stuff... right?

(Just wait, someone's gonna say or do something stupid like mention the psychic mind reading BS... oh wait... =] oopse~)

Flatline: “Yeah… Cyzon mentioned that already. Can’t say I LIKE that these guys could theoretically just- read our minds and figure out EXACTLY what we’re thinking in an instant. But they haven’t said anything about it yet - except for that whole thing - so maybe they’re trying to be respectful?”

Flatline: “But honestly, I’ve been considering just… telling them the truth. It might be easier for them to help us if they know what’s really going on.”

(Flatline turns away, looking more uncomfortable than before. It’s clear the idea, though necessary, isn’t one they like the sound of. They mutter to themself absentmindedly, hoping you don’t hear them.)

Flatline: “…gonna be tough, though…”

(…But someone else hears them clearly.)

Cyzon: “…Hey.”

(Cyzon, standing right next to them, gently nudges Flatline in the arm. Her voice is soft, but firm and reassuring.)

(Flatline looks down at her with a soft smile, their expression a mix of gratitude and subtle admiration. They swear, this kid’s too sweet for her own good…)

(With their newfound resolve, Flatline takes a deep breath and approaches the trio once again - with Cyzon staying right by their side.)

Mewtwo: “Wh- Mew, did you read their minds-!?”

Mew: “No? I just guessed.”

[ask-lu-two-and-mew]

JJ: Gonna say it, I told you so. U.U

[ask-lu-two-and-mew]

Lucario, Stop. I know you can’t rely on Aura Sight, but that doesn’t mean you should interrogate people. You have no idea what they could have gone through! So let. Cyzon. go.

If not, you will come to regret it, that I can almost Guarantee…

(if your awake enough to do so that is…)

(Lucario doesn’t listen to your attempts to reason with her (or encourage her, for that matter), focusing all her attention on the canine newcomer. Her gaze hardens, becoming even more intense as she stares Cyzon down.)

(In that moment, Lucario manages to catch a glimpse of Cyzon’s true thoughts and feelings for the first time - despite her strange, unnatural aura. And the first thing she senses from her?)

(…Fear. Pure, unbridled fear.)

(Lucario lets go of her and takes a step back, finally getting a moment of clarity. She notices how TERRIFIED Cyzon is - and realizes SHE’S the cause.)

(…Arceus above, what is she DOING? This girl - she’s just confused and scared, and here Lucario is, practically THREATENING her…)

(…Damn it. She messed up, didn’t she…?)

Lucario: “…Listen. I… I don’t know anything about you. And you seem like you’re not all that willing to talk about it. And… I guess I can understand that. But…”

(Lucario then walks away from Cyzon, not even daring to look her in the eyes.)

[ask-lu-two-and-mew]

Okay, Lu… honey, don’t. People hide things all the time… don’t go prodding into places you might regret. Especially if said places involve potentially traumatic experiences… don’t do anything stupid.

(directly following this ask)

[…Either Lucario didn’t hear you, or she’s electing to ignore you. It’s impossible to tell.]

(Lucario walks over to the canine newcomer while her companion is distracted, seizing the opportunity that’s been placed in front of her. She taps Cyzon on the shoulder and motions for her to follow, intending to talk to her alone.)

(Cyzon hesitates for a moment before following her, trying to ignore the spike of anxiety that rushes through her - to not much avail.)

Cyzon, internally: ‘Lucario are normally Pokémon of justice, aren’t they? They don’t hurt people unless they can sense that they’re truly unjust. Surely this one isn’t any different- wait. No. They can read peoples’ thoughts. Damn it, stop thinking, Cyzon-!’

(But as soon as the two are just out of earshot of the others, Cyzon’s anxiety is proven to be justified.)

[ask-lu-two-and-mew]

Woah, wait... calm down we don't wanna d4mag3 anything rig#t flatline?

Right?

(They're probably going to be a loose cannon maybe even problematic)

Flatline: “Not unless I have to. I just want to talk for now.”

(Flatline, startled by Mew’s sudden, fast-paced apology, completely forgets the carefully-crafted response they’d made in their mind. They’re caught off-guard - it’s not often they encounter someone who’s ACTUALLY willing to apologize and take accountability… but then again, they aren’t in their own realm right now, are they…?)

Mew: “I swear, this won’t happen again… is there anything we can do to make up for it?”

Flatline: “Uh- w-well, I appreciate the apology… but you two haven’t done anything wrong. You’ve done nothing but try to help since we landed here…”

Flatline: “…Though… I would appreciate it if your friend at least apologized to Cyzon. She’s… I don’t like seeing her scared like that.”

(Flatline winces a little after they say that. Dang it - another slip of the tongue…? They aren’t usually that open with strangers.)

(Mew, meanwhile, has to try not to react to their unspoken thoughts. This demon must’ve come from a rough place, they think…)

(But before Mew gets a chance to respond to them, Mewtwo speaks up.)

[ask-lu-two-and-mew]

Hey, uh. Mew, i Dunno if you’ve been told this before, but I doubt being transformed without consent is a fun experience. Please remember to ask next time okay =]

[ask-lu-two-and-mew]

Oh muh guh! A pupper! Is that minty green patch of hair/fur natural or do you dye it? Ether way it looks sick!

[Lucario is keeping her guard up…]
