…So the Healing Church did follow you here. And a member of the Choir, at that…

To the one calling herself by a name that is not hers: your petty attempts at ‘ascension’ will not work. They never have before. Committing the same crimes and anticipating different results is, after all, the definition of insanity.

Though I rather expect you would take that as a compliment.

Know, false one, that you are being watched. And that you only remain alive so long as the good doctor remains connected to you.

Should that ever change?

Start running.

(@lumenflowered)

Ah. Is this truly the famous Lady Maria?

You know her?

Only by name. She worked at the Healing Church, you know— in the research hall. But that was long before either of our times. If the rumors are true, apparently she was an ex-Hunter full of shame and turned to the Church after throwing her weapon away...

Of course, they're merely rumors.

You, Lady Maria, are from a time long past, and I suspect there is some sort of imbalance within time given the existence of this... multiverse. Advancements can and have been made.

Be a dear and get yourself unstuck from the past. I might even be able to convince the Church to take you back.

She has no intent of going back there, and I do not blame her.

...Are you alright? Either of you?

(@lumenflowered)

Hm? I'm alright.

I'm fine! I'm fine.

Do you need a moment, little bird?

Per—Perhaps?

Give me a moment, actually.

[faller-fears]

...I expected better of you.

(@lumenflowered)

I was only trying to help. I thought that if I didn't do something like that, then someone who actually meant them harm would. I didn't- I didn't realize it would hurt them.

Team Rocket Leader Giovanni Killed

(TW death and blood mentions.)

One of the many Giovanni's across the multiverse has died, after an altercation with Maria of @lumenflowered.

According to an audio recording of the incident, after a standard battle with Maria, Giovanni let out a seventh Pokemon, a Rhyperior. Said Rhyperior proceeded to turn on Giovanni, and eviscerate him.

Maria has stated that there was "more blood than the human body could feasibly lose without bodily functions shutting down," so death is all but certain.

This Giovanni has previously attempted to murder his own daughter, Silver. He would have succeeded, if not for the Ho-oh of that universe reviving Silver.

Maria is scheduled to become Johto Champion of that universe soon. Time will tell how this incident will affect her position.

You claim to be respectful.

You claim to be merely following tradition.

This world is not yours, but in this context that matters little. Traditions become traditions for many reasons, but the first and foremost of them is because they benefit those who follow them.

Imposing your tradition upon others has been nothing but a detriment to them. You are, of course, free to do as you like—but you are not free to impose those things upon others whom you know nothing of.

With that said,

think fast.

Pelipper Mail for Aurorus! Sacred Fire.

...But it is nothing more than an illusion, a fact that becomes apparent if and only if the move would make contact.

(@lumenflowered)

This is why I follow the Regis, and not Ho-oh.

[goldenrodchef]

Good evening, Gen. I sincerely apologize if I am interrupting anything, but your remarks regarding Voltorb Flip have been bothering me.

You mentioned something along the lines of... something not being the man who runs the game's fault. What did you mean by that? The game is most certainly luck-based, but not to the point where it is outright unfair, and I do enjoy the risk.

(@lumenflowered)

Oh. Um. Well.

It's, uh. A long story.

...but the short of it is that, uh.

...I used to work part-time at the Goldenrod Game Corner on weekends.

Hello. I, ah… you are a doctor, yes? A Yharnam doctor?

…I believe I’m one of the “ex-Hunters” mentioned to you. My name is Maria; whether or not it will be a pleasure to meet you depends rather significantly on if that name means anything to you or not.

(@lumenflowered)

I am indeed a doctor. I did not originally hail from Yharnam, but I moved there a little while after receiving my medical degree and I've lived there for several years.

Hm... No, I don't believe I've ever heard of that name before. I don't usually receive ex-Hunters at my clinic, regardless.

I am not sure why that would determine if it would be a pleasure to meet you or not? You seem like a pleasant person— but I understand if there are, well, pieces of your past you would rather not disclose.

🕯️ for @lumenflowered

Oh Goddess, Maria. Sometimes she still scares me, but more in the way that her actions are... certainly something, on occasion. I think one of the most terrifying things that she did in recent memory was writing that four thousand word essay analyzing Father’s parenting flaws. That was. Something. It also put a lot of things into perspective that I don’t know if I was ready for it to be.

Also, she is a very respectable warrior. And she likes women. That’s a win in my book.

i wanna duel her sometime :)
