Quick announcement from the mod (hi that's me). Sorry for the pause, I just moved and I'm getting adjusted to my new place. Right now though, I'm making a post to say that I'll be going on hiatus for a bit. I've sorta lost the drive to keep going, and it's kinda been happening for a while now, so I'm going to take a little break for myself to reorganize and maybe start some new projects. I'm not sure exactly how long this break will be, but I do intend to come back so don't think I'm just flat out ending the run of this blog quite yet. I still got stories I want to tell here. For right now though I need to reassess and allow myself a break so I can get back in the groove of things again. Try not to break anything while I'm gone, kiddos
Olympus (Abode of Jupiter the Joyous) has now been accessed
[EUROPA, GANYMEDE, and IO cast a Transplanar Mirror Warp spell. EUROPA, GANYMEDE, and IO appeared!]
IO: well... here we are... home sweet home...
ASK: So you three are kidnappers?? Just what kind of "business" is this anyway!?
GANYMEDE: I hardly see how that's any of your concern, morta--
EUROPA: It's the business of mythics! And now we're gunna show off my catch 2 mom! And she'll tell me how I'm her favorite!
GANYMEDE: Europa, if you would let me finish my thought. Our "business" is for beings far surpassing your comprehension. Warriors of the universe, champions of light and darkness, we hold the very fabric of spacetime within our very fingertips!
IO: dialga, you make me embarrassed to be a mythic...
GANYMEDE: YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE ONE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!
ORCHID: I don't care... what the hell y-you are... I'm going to fucking... kill you all
EUROPA: HUSH, SUSPECT!! We're not done w u yet! We have a lotta questions 4 u. MOOOOOOOOM!!! WE'RE BAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!
ORCHID: What the fuck is... going... on....
GANYMEDE: Submit yourself, mortal. You stand in the presence of the paradox mythic, Jupiter the Joyous.
Hewwo, forgot that I wanted to do this but I've now made Ganymede and Io's music playlists public, so you can go an listen to their songs if ya want ;0. You can find the playlist page here
Was Aeon using a cloaking technique of some sort when they were speaking with Orchid? Or was it meant to framed so that Pali/the viewer couldn't see them?
I definitely meant to frame it as if Pali wasn't able to see Aeon! It might not be easy to notice (hard to work with small panels whoops), but to Pali's perspective it definitely looked as though Orchid was alone talking to himself. As for why or how, well, really who can say :3c
ASK: Backpack @ Aqua: "Being treated like a god... And being able to get in a relationship with one who is not a god... Or seen as one. Wouldn't it unhealthy ? "
AQUA: Oh yeah! Suppose that's true from a modern lens. Definitely a weird power dynamic going on there. Guess it's a good thing regular mews weren't allowed to have relations with a patron mew. Not even the royal family! Huge taboo, you know? To them, we origin mews were directly created by the gods themselves. Our nature was inherently divine and sacred! Being in the same room with one without permission was forbidden, can't imagine what'd happen if you were caught hooking up with one...
[AQUA's Mana Vacuum loudly activates]
AQUA: Jeez, this thing hasn't detected such a huge surge of magic in ages! Oh, Pali! You're back! I take it he didn't budge?
PALI: Ahaha, yeah, something like that.
ASK: Pali, dude, I know you and Orchid hate each other, but are you really gonna let him get taken by your sis and those big pokemon? Who knows what's going to happen to him!
AQUA: He was WHAT!?
PALI: Bollocks...
AQUA: "Big pokemon"? How big? Like, legendary-big?
PALI: More like... mythic... big.....
AQUA: HE WAS TAKEN BY MYTHICS???
PALI: Why are you worried? He's the "oh-so-powerful" Orchid. I'm sure he'll be fine.
AQUA: Pali, Orchid is a powerful pokemon, but he isn't "defeat-a-mythic" powerful! I've only read things about them, but I'm not gonna take any chances. I need to go after him. Cyto, pick as many berries and seeds as you can! I might need to prep cures.
CYTO: Roger that!
PALI: Wait wait wait, hold on a tick, I don't want you involved. I'll... go after him for you.
AQUA: Wha-- Pali, you don't have to do that!
PALI: It's fine, I know who took him, I know where he went. I'll be quick, just stay here please. -thinking- Arceus, looks like this is my problem now
[PALISANDER casts a Transplanar Mirror Warp spell. PALISANDER has fled]
Holiday weekend kinda messed up my schedule, so there's gonna be no update this week. Also I do wish I kinda did this in the last update, but you live and you learn, so I've updated the character pages for Ganymede and Io
Has anyone ever asked why Orchid is such a... D*ck?
Not gonna lie, very curious to know why he became like this or if he was always like this since day 1 from birth.
LMAO YEAH THEY HAVE VERY MUCH LHDBSHLLHDLVHKD I can't give any answers because spoilers but there ARE reasons, several reasons, several many reasons. And I don't you'd get a satisfying answer out of Orchid that wasn't just "cuz I'm better than you" so KGDKGGXHDLV
Pali's got the same scarf Eura, Iowa, and Ganymede, right? Even if he only uses it for cosmetic purposes, can't he still use it to teleport? (ngl got me thinking back to that one post about the "family business")
(oh also, really love that you're trying new things! the story has been going great so far! can't wait to see if some of my speculations hold any weight hee hee 。^‿^。 )
GISGKDKVDKVDIGDKGDGKDKGDKG listen i saw it and i had to
Regarding ur question, it IS the same scarf that his siblings all have, but he can only use it to take him to and from home. Nowhere else. It's basically a mystical magical version of a house key!
