Vision Time Again [Third day of the week]

[professorwolf]

This is becoming something of a habit, it seems. Randolph Lyall, here, and not only do I have some general information that may be important, I've had another vision that I probably ought to share before it decides to distract me a dozen times today and make even more people ask me if I'm all right.

First things first, though. Gale is infiltrated here, I'm sure some of you saw him, as my "partner". Only he isn't actually my partner, he's a pogemon like Lethid is only with a very good disguise, here to research the bond between humans and pogemon for the council back in their world. I can only think that's important in some way.

Somewhat less interesting, but second, there is definitely a walkabout going on at the moment. It appears to be taking place back in Sarmatia, where we sort of took over the government of the werewolves and vampires.

[He doesn't share more than that, though there's a hint of embarrassment and confusion about the thoughts, there. He hurries on.]

Anyway, the vision. It was of fighting food. Literally, food made into... I suppose monsters like the pogemon, and fighting in the streets with the slammer pairs. Then the clouds open up and there's a castle in the sky, with some sort of winged creature on the ramparts. I do believe that may be what we're here to do something about. At the least, we probably ought to keep an eye out for food-shaped pogemon, for now, and keep watch for a stormy day.

Finally... er, has anyone else done this infiltrating-while-still-yourself thing? Does anyone know, is it still possible to go into liminal space? I'm a little afraid to try it, lest I wind up damaging the pogemon I'm sharing mind-space with at the moment. But the full moon is coming up very soon here, and I'd rather not test whether infiltrating like this keeps the werewolf part of me at bay.

Comments

Understood.

[[he's bracing himself for it.]]

[professorwolf]

[He'll get, first, the sense of padding along in four feet, tails sweeping along behind him, ears perking towards this sound or that. It's Lyall, in the form of Lethid the pogemon, and feeling quite comfortable with it, to be honest.

That sense is brief, though, as whatever was going on before is briefly displaced by something new. It's as if, instead of inside the back preparation halls of the arena, he's standing in the street, watching oversized ambulatory food-- pizza and burgers and soda cans-- creating havok in broad daylight, fighting with the children and their pogemon and making a big mess out of everything.

Slowly, though, the sky grows dark as thunderclouds gather as the food fighting increases in intensity. Lightning flashes and a rift opens in the sky, revealing a gothic art deco castle carved from black fulgarites. There is a figure on the battlements, but the flashing lightning obscures most of the details but the great black wings. A skeletal winged shadow stretches from the rift onto the pavement.

Then he's standing back in the arena back hallway, stunned and confused, as one of the younger slammers looks at him funny and asks if he's okay.]

[[There's a slight pause as Tachibana collects himself and forces himself to relax. (and assures Garren he's fine)]]

The figure matches the artist rendering I found in the library of Nevermore.

[[That, combined with Kinji's relaying of what the burgermon had said....]]

[professorwolf]

Nevermore-- but he's dead.

[Lyall knows that because Lethid knows that. All pogemon know that. Don't they?]

If he escaped death somehow... or has some kind of regenerative ability. Damn. I need to tell Gale.

After Kinji and Yakumo's Bogus Adventure

[triggerhappytraitor]

The castle is the same as the one Kinji and Yakumo were taken too.

There's no doubt about it now.

[professorwolf]

Lovely. So maybe this time we'll have to make sure he stays down. Maybe lock his pog in a box and bury it.

... Lethid is rather angry about this.
