shenanigans with Giratina at discedo

[battledancing]

Yes, Mundane, I know I once said I wished I could have faced Giratina myself, and it really was true. But I also know that was not meant to be; I have come to the terms with the fact that was not my fate, so leaving me in charge of that Pokemon now simply doesn't feel right,

Then again, I do suppose that was your intention all along. You do seem to have a thing for building character through, uh, extreme predicaments. That is quite a bit unorthodox.

... ah, well, who am I to talk, huh?

[Says she who randomly tossed protag against Giratina and made them deal with it, in the first place. Yup, that is a lot of moral high ground there, Cynthia.]

[Oh.

... Sorry, Cynthia, but now Dawn feels a bit bad.]

If Giratina's bothering you, it's probably because it misses its original trainer.

[battledancing]

[Nononono, don't feel bad! Because Cynthia already feels bad about keeping a Pokemon that doesn't belong to her, but if you feel bad because she's feeling bad, she's only going to feel even worse and DO YOU SEE WHERE WE'RE GOING HERE.]

Oh, it's not bothering me at all! I just... I don't think I should be the one keeping it, that's all.

[championships]

Don't be so hard on yourself.

[She's telling the truth, even if she's speaking coldly. She's a silent protagonist - she only speaks what has to be said.]

Out of everyone I know, you're one of the candidates that I would entrust my Pokemon to if anything happened to me.

[battledancing]

This isn't just any Pokemon, Dawn; it is not up to either of us to simply judge who should be taking care of it. There's something much greater at stake here.

Still... thank you.

[barrette]

Even if it wasn't your fate, Giratina is in good hands with you.

[ DON'T FEEL BAD CYNTHIA OR DAWN WILL FEEL BAD. ]

[battledancing]

[NO DAWN DON'T FEEL BAD OR ELSE CYNTHIA WILL FEEL-- oh you know what, just read response to the other!you above SOMEONE STOP THIS VICIOUS CIRCLE.]

Thank you. I have been trying my best to make it a little happy, at least. [Togekiss is working extra hard, too ;3;]

[barrette]

Can you give it any Poffins? It loves them, even if it doesn't act like it does.

[ GIRATINA CAN TOTES BE TSUNDERE. ]

[battledancing]

[Noooot this one, nope. This one is... plain... vicious...]

Unfortunately, I can't. Our resources in that place are, well, very limited.

[barrette]

[ bad Giratina! Dawn is very disappoint in you! ]

Hmm... How has it been acting toward you?

[battledancing]

Quiet, more often than not. It doesn't seem to like having others around much, so even my own Pokemon have issues sometimes. But I think it's slowly warming up to them, at least.

[And then sometimes it goes and does this o o p s.]

[barrette]

It was like that with my Pokemon and I at first. It might take a while, but it'll get used to you all.

[ now she is DOUBLE DISAPPOINT in you Giratina. ]

[battledancing]

[... yeeeeaaah, she's not too sure about that. It's not that she doesn't trust her own skills or anything like that, but because she is a FIRM BELIEVER OF FATE11!!1! and therefore feels like this is going too far with trying to change it.]

... ah, time will tell, I suppose. I'll be happy enough if it can make friends with my Pokemon, though.

[barrette]

[ oh Cynthia. ]

I'm sure it will! Your Pokemon are great!

[battledancing]

[She has issues, we know that.]

That, I can definitely agree with. Togekiss in particular is putting extra effort into it, too.

[barrette]

Giratina doesn't stand a chance if Togekiss is on the job.

[g3_jupiter]

You're too chicken to deal with a ghostly dragon?

Seriously.

After you prevented your homeland from becoming the starting point of universal salvation, the least you can do is not soil its reputation horribly when you visit other universes. But that's exactly what you're doing, isn't it?

[battledancing]

[... you know. You'd expect Cyrus to recruit people with enough brain to at least manage basic reading skills, but. Guess not.]

I don't remember ever having mentioned I was afraid.

[g3_jupiter]

Humph! What exactly is the problem then? You were too vague.

[battledancing]

Not in the least. It's exactly as I said; my role was to lead that child to Giratina, nothing else. However, by being in charge of caring for it now, I may be changing too much in the greater scheme of things. That's not something I would want to do.

[g3_jupiter]

Ooh, "the greater scheme of things". That's what you're afraid of?

I've got news for you, girl - things almost never happen the way you picture them in your head.

[battledancing]

I never said I was afraid of anything. I simply have enough common sense not to try and interfere with things of a much higher caliber. Things that should be sacred.

Then again, I don't really expect someone like you to understand.

[g3_jupiter]

No, actually, I don't! And the more I talk to you, the less I understand why you have any authority at all when it comes to myths and legends and whatnot. I don't think you actually feel any respect at all towards them. What you just said implies that you see them as static. Unable to change, when things end up taking a different turn. You see them as dead.

I guess in that respect, Master Cyrus was more respectful of the legends than you are.

[lovelypyre]

[The moment he saw "Giratina" that's all that mattered in this post.]

Lovelytina graced its presence to you? Aah, I am green with envy. It must be nice being close to Lovelytina....so close!

[acuity]

[ I AM TECHNICALLY NOT A DAWN oh wait combo was already broken... ]

That sounds like a dangerous situation...! Are you going to be all right?
