[P5 / Alola crossover scene]

Gladion:  …[fidgets] Steven, might I ask you something… exceedingly personal? >.>;

Steven:  [For how awkward the young man is, he can't help but smile at how “personal” it could be. Playful sarcasm] You know how I love my secrecy. What is it?

Gladion:  As we've been talking about our companies’ history and hopefully future endeavors, it’s… it’s hard to ignore why the partnership ended in the first place.

Steven:  [Nod, nod taking a drink, and?]

Gladion:  Did you ever get closure about your mother? 

Steven:  ….. [Swallows, but quirks an eyebrow at him] That's a bit of an odd question.

Gladion:  I know, I just… [Shakes head] This past year has been crazy between my mother and me, but at least I still have her. And even if I was only a child at the time, you were too. Did anyone ever talk to you about what happened?

Steven:  …. [Looks to the water glass in hand then holds up a hand.] Hold that thought. [Gets up and goes over to the desk where he opens a hidden compartment in the wall with several types of bottles] I don't do this very often, but this sounds like a conversation that requires it. Would you like some? 

Gladion:  ….By all means. [Not sure if he’s more surprised by the hidden liquor stash or that Steven isn't shying away from the subject at all. Motions that he'll take….whatever the guy’s got.] Thank you. I'll take that as a no?

Steven:  They gave my father the news, but he never told me much at the time. I knew she went to stay with Aether while learning about their research and just… never came back. I knew she was dead, I wasn't that sheltered, but… [Shakes head] no. No one ever told me personally. [Takes a sip as he goes on more somber] But I knew it had been terrible. My world was completely turned upside-down by my father's grief, but that pales in comparison to what happened to you. [Holds up hand as he can see Gladion’s alarm] As a business, we do still need to do our research before taking up a partnership. And of course, you only officially took over as President recently, it begs to question what happened to the last one. I just… [rolls the glass between his hands as he watches the deep reddish brown liquid slosh a little. Somberly] My father didn’t just cut ties with Aether. We closed ourselves off for a while with the claim that Devon had just suffered a series of unfortunate events and would be working on a company reconstruction before continuing operations. I wish we hadn’t though. I know we likely wouldn’t have been able to say or do anything at the time, but I can’t help but wonder if we had continued watching from the outside, we might have helped your mother sooner. I have heard rumors over the years about the horrors to occur after President Aether was killed in the attack. [And somewhat surprised to see Gladion’s is empty already as well. Leans forward to pour his guest another, larger, shot. He's not sure if Gladion just really liked it or was gathering up some “liquid courage” for whatever he intended to say. Tops off his own while he’s at it] Although, if you’re planning to bring me comfort and details, I wouldn't think you'd know much about it. Weren't you, like, ten at the time? Surely they didn’t have you watching when everything exploded.

Gladion:  [Bit of both actually, but sets the glass down a little shakily] I was eight, actually. I'm sorry it really is an odd subject to drop on you like this. I'm sure you've also heard about the growing crisis in Alola, the Psychotic Breakdowns and Mental Shutdowns… [Steven nods] My associates and I are more than certain now there's an Ultra Beast behind it. The interdimensional creatures once referred to as Demons. And that alone has had me thinking about that day a lot lately. I just wanted to ask where you stood on the matter because I… I really need to talk to someone who’d understand…

Steven:  [Blinks at him in surprise as he's not sure how to feel about the thought of the Demons being back in any way, shape, or form. But given Aether's history, even more so under Lusamine… tries to give his guest a smile.] I’m not sure if I’d be much help, but I like to think I’m easy to talk to. [Clears throat] At least, I would hope I am, but I realize I still haven’t answered your original question. I… [Honestly takes a moment to think about his feelings when it comes to his mother] I suppose I have found some closure on the whole affair. Even if I didn’t find out the full extent of what happened to her, my father and I had a bit of an incident ourselves several years ago, which finally allowed us to talk about it. My mother’s not exactly a sensitive subject, if that’s what you’re worried about. You lost your father during all of that too, didn’t you?

Gladion:  …. [A soft smile creeps out as he debates how to answer that. It sounds crazy, like… REALLY crazy, but you know what, he’s not sure why but he feels like he can trust the guy. Takes the whole shot] I’m not sure, actually. I found him again, I think.

Steven:  … [Looks at glass, looks at his own, debating if he should give the young man any more. Eyeing him in slight concern and confusion] I don’t find that very funny. 

Gladion:  I wish I was joking. [Looking down as he’s worried he may have offended him after all. Instead, he finds himself admiring the shape of the empty glass, kind of neat how everything blurs through the thickness of it] I’ve heard that Hoenn is very serious when it comes to ghosts and lingering spirits and whatnot. ….But honest to goodness, I think we’re being… haunted by that day. In every sense of the word. What would you do if the whole… Phantom Thieves thing- [points at him somewhat with the glass then sets it aside. Yeah, he’s gonna stop] I know you’ve heard of it, we heard about it less than a day after getting off the plane. What if I were to tell you there’s some real ghost or… otherworldly play having a hand in all that? 

Steven:  [Amused. This was a bad idea actually, he almost wonders if the guy’s ever had a drink in his life before this, but ah well, too late now] I mean no offense, but you think your father is a literal phantom thief?

Gladion:  I think he might be leading them. Or did. Leadership is kind of weird lately. [Deeeeeep sigh and tries to straighten up in his seat] This secret CANNOT leave the room but, I need to talk to someone because this whole thing is driving me insane.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A/N: This is less to do with the actual crossover as just bits of world building. Plot wise this scene comes up while several members of the gang are on vacation, but instead of going to Hawaii (because they're already from Alola) they end up going to Japan. And since half the group would be high schoolers (although school is odd in Pokeverse so none of them are actually in school at this time), the other half of the team are varying degrees of "responsible" adult. As such, instead of a school trip, they're on a business trip with Gladion even if once they get there, they all split off to take care of other business in Kanto, Johto, and Sinnoh. (And we get a bonus dungeon completely unrelated to the game, so even if the kids are about to discover hell via Difficulty Spike, I'm just having fun.)

Trying something wild and new (writing chronologically).

[knight-engale]

Morgan should be allowed to stab a goat. I think that would be a good idea.

[esoterictboy]

I just think it’s super hot when people are bent over naked like, face down ass up showing everything. Like they’re just so fucking horny they don’t even wanna know what comes next it’s the perfect position like I could spit in your hole one minute and be breeding you the next and you’re just so desperate for it you don’t even care you’re practically shoving your hole in my face you just drool all over yourself and cum ? It’s fucking slutty.

Hentai lookin ass Bill.

A couple more "suggestive" drawings under the cut:

I hesitated on posting these last two so much when I was drawing them, but that was like two weeks ago, and now I'm just numb to it. WHO CARES JUST TAKE THIS!!

I alluded to drawing more "suggestive" billford stuff a while back, and ironically, THIS ISN'T EVEN WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT SKJDFGDSH I was talking about something else I was planning on drawing. This just sorta happened.

I hope you like these!! Let me know if you want more.

oh, and the first drawing was originally rotated on its side, but I decided I liked it flipped around. That's why his coat is up like that. That's gravity babey!!!!

[abisalli]

A Robin lineup of sorts :) (sorry for no Carrie, Maps or Matthew... I was tired)

[ratsonfire]

Someone’s about to get stabbed, idk who yet

[justabunchofdragons]

note 1: i was going to put an option for no weapon, instead wielding magic but i feel like that option would be too appetising and i do want weapon stats!!!

note 2: i KNOW maces & morningstars are not the same (same with spear & javelin) but there's so many weapons and they are similar enough ok !!!

note 3: tell me what you would name your weapon >:0

EDIT HI FOLKS who reblogged or voted in this this silly post i made in 3 minutes! over 30k votes (!!) means that if just over a tenth of people who voted donated $5 to this (vetted, donation protected) fundraiser, maryam and her family would meet their goal TODAY. i've been following this one through operation olive branch for months, and donations have stagnated. please consider giving what you have.

The DA2 crew deserved these team meetings. They would have had even worse arguments. Made fantastic use of all being in the same room to argue each other's ears off at the same time.
