A wild Virizion appears, you only get one chance.

Do you catch it?

[Athena] WHAT THE--!?

What's going on!? Where did YOU come from!?

[Cuthbert] Virizion, dex number 640. It's said to have been protecting other Pokémon against Unova's urbanization, along with the other so-called "Swords of Justice".

This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity, Athena!

[Athena] O-Opportunity for-?

[Cuthbert] We HAVE to catch it!

[Athena] Woah, woah, woah. Back up a sec there.

What do you mean "catch it"? Why did you just describe some myth to me on a whim?

[Cuthbert] Don't tell me you haven't encountered any Pokémon.

[Athena] What's a "pokeh-mon"???????

...............

[Cuthbert] My apologies. Something must have taken over me back there.

[[ We probably should let it be, anyway. It's so scared...! ]]

--[[ Verdict: no catch. Mostly because Thena is not a Pokénerd :P

I'm not big on Pokémon myself, but if I were given the choice... I probably wouldn't have taken the opp either. Not my kind of vibe, plus heroes should get to walk free I know the purpose is to fill out the dex, but that's not what I'm here for ]]

“Hello, Dumpling Head, how have you been? It’s been a while since we last saw each other, has it not?”

[Athena] ...Hello, Your Benevolence.

[[ PLEASE stop calling me that. ]]

[Athena] ...It has been a while, yeah. Things have certainly changed.

I...

[Athena] ...Look. I'm... sorry you have to see us like this.

I honestly didn't expect it to escalate like that, either. I've been trying my best to distance myself from it...

...It's loud out there...

[Athena] Ema... I can hear your heart crying out with doubt.

I know you feel like you really haven't helped us at all...

[Athena] But I know you remember the cases we've worked on together.

Even as a detective - someone who really shouldn't be leaning too much in either direction - you've managed to help all of us find the true culprit! Countless times, I've heard!

Even when things took a terrifying turn... you've managed to uncover the information that had essentially saved the day. Sometimes, entirely on your own.

You're not a mere "tool", Ema. You are a hero. Don't let your cruel mind wash that fact away.

Yeawh buwt what if twhey ownly cawe because youw awe hewlping twem? :(

“I..!”

“N-No..! Y-You’re wrong..! It’s all wrong..! Everything you’re saying! @best-papa-around and @theoneandonlydemonprosecutor don’t see me as just a tool..! I know that for a fact..! I-I..!”

(Wait… thinking back on everything I’ve done… it’s been all for them… and never for myself… am I really just a tool to them..? Is that all I am..?)

Hey! Have you talked with Juniper in a while? I heard her & her friends from Themis are on here now!

[Cuthbert] ...For the record, I was going to relay this to Athena, but it seems she found out already. And it would be rude and a waste to just delete this without answering...

So... enjoy this placeholder message. Hello.

[hearts-widget]

[Athena] J-JUNIE!?

[Athena] I didn't expect you to be here! What a surprise!!

How've you been? I hope the net hasn't been treating you too harshly, heh...

[[ 'Cause I know what kinds of folk can be on here. ]]

[Athena] And- huh, I didn't even think of that! I was moreso thinking it'd match with Widget, and the glove I use to interact with him, but... yeah, I guess blue would match my eyes, too!

[Athena] ...And did you just say Robin? Are the others here too!?

--[[ Whew, that took a bit to type out. I initially thought I'd just answer the ask later tonight, but here comes this instead! ]]

Hey Athena have you ever painted your nails before? If so, what color(s) have you painted them? If not, why haven’t you painted them?

[Athena] I... don't think I ever really did, no. I just didn't bother with it, I suppose...

But now that you bring it up... maybe I could paint them a nice shade of blue or something. I think that'd look nice.

[hearts-widget]

[Athena] Ema, are you okay? I'm hearing a lot of noise coming from your heart...!

Hewwo.. I am Anxiety… pwease down’t hawte mew

I hawe to do twis!

What if nowone wowes youw, whawt if youw awe nowt goowd enough awnd wiwll newer achieve awnythiwng. What if Kwistoph iws wight.

“..?!”

(Heart… pounding..! Hands… shaking..! Breathing… unsteady..! Mind… in… disarray..!)

Have you ever used the mood matrix on an autistic person before, Athena? I just find the idea of the mood matrix fascinating!

(OOC: Also this ask is coming from an autistic person, so don’t worry)

[Athena] I... might have. I dunno, with how many different "flavors" autism has, it's a bit hard to tell.

Emotions aren't the only part that defines one's mind, after all. The Mood Matrix alone won't help with figuring out one's neurodevelopmental disorders, or the presence thereof.

“So you’re Athena Cykes? The young Defense Attorney Mr. Wright recently took under his wing? My, I must say you’re quite the spitfire, it’s refreshing to see.”

[Athena] Yep! That's me! Although, not as recent as you'd think, heh. And... thank you? I think? That's a bit of an odd way to greet someone...

...What can I do for you, miss? Something troubling you?

[hearts-widget]

Boops Athena & Cuthbert on the nose

Hehe! Boop!

[Athena] Wah-!

[Cuthbert] ACK-!

[Cuthbert] W-W-W-What was that for?? I didn't do anything, did I?

[Athena] Heheh, it's alright, Cuthbert! They're just playing with us!

[[ I've seen my patients do this a few times! ]]

[Cuthbert] If that's so, that's a... very violent activity to call by that name.

[Athena] Oh, trust me, there's much more violent games than this, if you're not careful.

How’s your relationship with Blackquill been, Athena? Hopefully yours & blackquill’s relationship is still going strong, especially after… “The incident”…

(OOC: I’ve beaten dual destinies so you don’t have to hold anything back!)

[Athena] Oh, absolutely! Simon and I are still on good terms with eachother!

[[ Mostly. ]]

Or, well... We would be. I haven't heard from him in a while...

...I hope he's doing okay.

[hearts-widget]

Sorry sorry, its just so funny the way you guys looked

[Athena] You don't have to apologize. I could tell those weren't actual photos of us, at least...

[[ Looking back at them now, though, they- heh, they do look pretty silly. ]]

[hearts-widget]

And this is your boss? He looks grumpy man

.........

[[ REDIRECTING: @best-papa-around ]]

[hearts-widget]

Is this you..

[Athena] .........W-Wow, um... That's...

[[ Yikes! That does NOT look right! ]]

[hearts-widget]

[Athena] ...Is that so?...

[Athena] WAIT A SEC. You mean to tell me you're one of the people that helped revolutionize Britain's law enforcement?!

[[ Either I'm going insane, or this is a dream come true! ]]

I heard about it a TON when I was studying in Europe! It's an honor to meet you in person!

“Oh! You must be one of my descendants! Miss Athena Cykes, correct? It’s such a pleasure to finally see you face to face! How have you been doing?”

[Athena] D-Descendants...!?

[Athena] ...No, on second thought, I... don't think I exactly see how we're related...

You did get my name right, though, Miss...?

[[ And I've been doing just fine, thank you very much! ]]

[hearts-widget]

Hi Athena! I’m at the Cosmos Space Center! Look who I fo- AH!

Athena! Athena! Hello! Hello!

No need to shove… anyway, Yeah, I found Ponco!

[Athena] PONCOOOOOOO!!!

[Athena] OhmyGodohmyGodohmyGod!! I'm so glad to see you again!!!

[[ It's been a long while! ]]

How have you been? How's the Space Center? Are--

[[ Clone here. I'm cutting this conversation off due to not being sure if you've beaten the game yet. Sorry! ]]

“Oh! You must be one of my descendants! Miss Athena Cykes, correct? It’s such a pleasure to finally see you face to face! How have you been doing?”

“Hey Athena, long time no see. This one guy gave me this ticket because of all the pregnancy spells going around, I guess? I just found out about it. Can you tell me more?”

- @ask-the-yatagarasu-investigator

[Athena] Kay! Good to see you here!

A-Ah, that... I got one just now too. Presumably it's to be used in response to... whatever that spell is?

[Cuthbert] From what it says, it seems like it'll cancel the spell's effects. Simple as that.
