Rise of the Shadows!

[Kira]

"Well, that's cause it's time!" Ciro said with a nod. "Even though I was really really young, I remember when I first went into time..it was so Weird.."

Kyuu sighed and ran a paw over her head. "Nothing?"
"I can't...voices are too loud to even try.." Mewtwo said in a growl.
"Damnit.."

[Azunara]

Solara shrugged, tense. She just couldn't think of anything to say to Ghost anymore. She lashed her tail. "Nothing much, I suppose." She said, warily. She hissed mentally. A long time ago, she'd be able to converse easily with the umbreon. Now she felt like Ghost was a stranger, and she had no idea what would set her off. Great.

Cro nodded, "Yeah. The Lord of Time must have years of practice not to fall on his face every time he decides to go into time."

[Moonlost]

((Not much happened you your characters Lupis, it's been a little fluffy at the moment. I believe a few of us are wondering where summer is. Insins is exploring around his new lab and getting started on the new Dusk formula.))

Baaz licked her in responce, then got up, stretching as he did so. He was feeling strangely at ease, even the voices in his mind were strangely quiet. He was feeling a little claustrophobic though. Too many people in one cave. He looked down to Lilith. "Would you mayhaps like to take a morning stroll with me?" He asked her.

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost blinked, tilting her head at Solara. This wasn't going anywhere... "I... ... Sorry to bother you." She sighed, turning around and walking over to an unoccupied corner of the cave, in which she sat down, ears drooping.

[Azunara]

Solara sighed. Already this day was starting out fantastic. She just didn't know what to say or do anymore. She continued on guard, watching the forests darkly. Now she really wished the Dusk would pester them. They'd have a great surprise when if they did.

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost sighed miserably. That had been a stupid idea... She should've just left Solara alone..

((Aaaand I am FREAKING TIRED. Off to bed I go. ... Ugh I am so on a bad schedule... Arghhhhh... *Flails, then wobbles off to bed*))

[Lupis]

((OH right. Summer. Who is stuck in an awkward-only-for-her situation that's her own bloody fault. Right!))

Scarab looked at Seventeen for a little longer, then turned his head to Vulture. "Don't take her to the lab. Put her outssside the lab on the grasss." He didn't want her freaking out and attacking once she woke up. The Charizard nodded, tied the last bandage on to the fallen Manectric, and gently lifted her on to his back. "C'mon," the Charizard told Gamin.
Scarab himself moved ahead towards the lab, entering and silently watching Dr. Insins.

Hands looked around, then scratched, 'I'm going to stretch my wings. I won't fly away.' She flapped her wings and landed on a rock not far outside the mouth of the cave, looking up at the sky and wondering where Scarab had gone.

Summer ((who apparently died for a few DAYS.)) finally collected her thoughts, getting her bearings back. Yes, she had done something stupid, twice, but at least she could realize that she was the only one freaking out. She shook out her fur, and as always it stuck out in frozen needles. "Sorry about that, Sosa. I don't freak out often, and, well, not for many people. I hope I haven't made you think I'm insane." She attempted a smile and somewhat succeeded.

[Kira]

"I deal with an insane brother on a daily basis, as well as Avalanche. You are Far from insane." Sosa said calmly as he smiled at Summer. "I am worried about you though...is everything alright?"

(( *Squees and hugs Summer and Sosa, getting bitten by the Absol* X.x ow ))

[Lupis]

Summer smiled slightly. "Yeah, somewhat. Confusing myself, I think. Give it some time and my mind works itself out, though. To tell the truth, I'm not even worried about.. almost anything." She flattened her fur. She knew what she wanted to say, but was - to her annoyance - too nervous about it to actually voice it. Maybe he'd just say it for her. Yeah, Right, Summer.
"Don't worry about me. I'll work it out."

[Kira]

Sosa hesitated before he sighed. "If you say so...I'm here if you need to talk to someone Summer.." His tail gave a small flick. "I really care about you..I don't want you hurting yourself by keeping something inside.."

[Moonlost]

Gamin nodded submissively, occassionally looking back at Seventeen on the grass. He whined a little, then continued following Vulture.

Insins didn't notice Scarab at first, buried in his work as he was. When he finally did see the kabutops, he smiled. "Ah, there you are!" He called out. " I think I may have the next evolution of the Virus ready, so to speak."

[Lupis]

Summer tilted her head at Sosa. She wondered how much effort it would take to just say it. Very little... She sat anyway, as if she would exhaust herself by saying... what, six words? Five?
"Hey, Sosa?... Iloveyou."
She watched a blade of grass by her paws, fascinated by the fact that it wasn't anything important.

((Vulture is carrying Seventeen, Moon. ))
Scarab nodded at Insins, approaching with his hand/scythes crossed behind his back. "Oh? Exxplain."

[Azunara]

((*decides against patting Ghost comfortably, instead petting her espeon, who glares.* "I CREATED YOU! NO EATING ME!"))

Solara watched Hands fly outside the cave, and squishing down suspicion, decided to follow the Dusk bird. She was curious, besides. The noctowl had been a close companion of Scarab, and she wanted to know who would be insane enough to tolerate him. "You okay? Besides the whole prisoner thing. That could ruin anyone's day."

Cro took a spot, grabbing a berry and thoughtfully eating it. He was sad, now. Going back in time and seeing his mother hit it home again that she was gone. He felt glad that he made that scientist hurt and that bug thing scared too. After all, it ran when he was striking. Coward. He snapped down hard on the berry in his mouth, pretending it was the kabutop's arm. Take that.

[Kira]

There was a bit of silence from Sosa, then the grass shifted as he stood. Quite steps and then he leaned his head down, nuzzling and licking her cheek gently. "I love you too Summer.."

(( ...*feeling worse and worse about killing Delora* ))

[Moonlost]

((Oops, my bad. XD I thought she had been layed down already.))

"Well... How to explain..." Insins rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "This version of the virus doesn't so much enhance ones natural abilities so much as instigate a pseudo evolution. What shape or form that may take is dependant of the pokemon in question. At this point, I'm not sure if this pseudo-evolution will remain constant between species or if it will depend on the individual."

[Lupis]

Hands turned her head to Solara and fluffed out her feathers, head buried down in them so only the top half of her face showed. She hopped down to the ground, and scratched into the ground, 'Worried about Scarab.'

Summer looked up. "Really?" She realized how stupid that sounded. "You have no idea how much it helps to hear you say that."

Scarab listened with interest. The voices murmured curiously, interested in what the evolution would do. "Interessting. When will it be ready for tesssting?"

[Kira]

Sosa nuzzled her again and sat beside her. "Oh, I have an idea.."

Kyuu glanced around for a moment before she stood. She gave Mewtwo a quick nuzzle and rubbed Remi's head before she moved outside and took in a deep breath.

[Lupis]

((EDit)) Summer smiled and leaned against him slightly. "Thanks. I was worried I was going to be wrong, even if it wasn't very likely."

[Moonlost]

"If you're in a hurry, we could test it now. It still may have a few instabilities. I'd need perhaps another day or two to iron those out" Insins responded.

[rubybeam]

((...I really feel like bringing in another scientist... only to explain all of kanmimpi's quirks and such and dr.insins just went and inspired me to make one))
