On November 1, 2023, the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners enacted an ordinance to allow permitting of accessory dwelling units (also known as ADUs or granny flats) in rural residential areas of Deschutes County. The effective date of the ordinance is December 1, 2023, at which time homeowners and developers can submit applications to add another dwelling unit on their property, provided…

Hi Drabbles,
I wanted to ask if you still do prompts and if you do can you do the one below?
So Danny is the Ghost King and was friends with Bruce’s parents so he felt when they died. They could become ghosts but I’ll leave that up to you. But either way, Danny feels their death and assists Alfred when he can to raise Bruce. Due Danny’s visits and Bruce’s holidays in the infinite realms they (Bruce and Alfred) became very Liminal. So they have slight powers. One day, Danny comes over with Ellie and Dan (who are like siblings to Bruce as both we deaged/destabilised and Danny raised them) but Bruce forgets he never told the newer kids about them as Danny hasn’t come over in a while. Dick has meet them, Jason has heard about of them but the rest don’t know about them.
There were three strangers in their house. Usually, that would be okay, as multiple people came and went through Wayne Manor. It was customary to hire random crews to help set up for a Gala, or maybe some representatives from the various charities they helped would come over for dinner or a meeting.
Sometimes, a few of Bruce's old party buddies would pop up to get him to stop being a dad and return to his party boy days. They've all learned how to dance around visitors and hide their identities.
The thing was, these strangers were kept from the main parts of the manor. Their rooms, the sitting lounge, Bruce's Office, Damian's art studio, Jason's library, Tim's game room, Cass' dance studio, and Duke's music record room were all inaccessible.
Bruce would always ask if someone attempted to sneak away and stop them. There was a time when paparazzi disguised themselves as crew members—the three idiots even got jobs at the cleaning company—and tried to see if they could find a scandal on the children.
Brucie Wayne was seen crying hysterically on the news that night for accidentally pushing down a piano on them. He was trying to take it up to the Music Room as a surprise for Duke and wanted to avoid bothering the cleaners to have them help him. He had no idea the rope he was using to drag the grand piano up the stairs would have snapped and rolled backward onto the paparazzi, who had previously been taking pictures of Cass practicing without her knowledge.
People told him not to feel bad, as Bruce had cameras in the hallways of his home due to the last time someone broke in, and it was obviously not his fault. Some people said they deserved it, but Bruce wouldn't hear it. He paid for all their medical bills and gave them enough funds to tie them over for three weeks while they recovered.
Everyone shook their heads at poor Bruce. After all, the piano had fallen so far that the only real harm was that each of them got a few bruises and a broken arm, but that was all.
The point was that no one went up there that shouldn't be.
Yet here, standing in the middle of the Gaming room, were three strangers who were all aggressively battling it out on an old remaster shooting game.
"This is way harder than I remember," said the oldest one, who seemed to be Alfred's age.
"That's cause you always sucked at games," The woman taunted, but her words were countered by the other man shooting her down. "Hey!"
"Ha!" Barked the last man from where he was twisting his elbows, moving alongside his running character. "I'm unstoppable!"
Tim turns to his siblings, about to ask them how they want to play the dramatic scene where they would throw these people out, but his words catch in his mouth upon spotting Cass' expression.
Her narrowed, guarded eyes watched the three with the same amount of steel she had reserved for only the worst of their enemies. Whoever they are, they set off so many alarms in her. She knows they're dangerous.
At once, this minor inconvenience turned into a severe risk to his health. He snaps back towards the strangers, tense and ready for battle. Around him, the rest of his siblings are in similar stances, quickly signing how they would attack.
What kind of message were they sending if someone on Cass's danger scale was able to break in undetected and choose to play with their things? Was it a show of what they could do? Claim that they could beat the Bats without really trying?
The woman's eyes snap towards them so fast she could have been a speedster. He had even noticed her turning around; one second, she was back to them. The next, she was half-turned, staring at them. It looked like a poorly edited video. Everyone jumps, but all she does is smile. "Hey, it's Bruce's kids! Anyone want to call the winner?"
The older gentleman drops his control, turns around to fully face them, and gasps. He puts one hand on his chest and the other right above his mouth. "Look at them! There are so many! Alfred must be so excited to be a grandfather. Why aren't you two giving me grandbabies?"
"Ugh, not this again." The man sighs, continuing to play despite the fact that the other two are no longer paying attention.
"It's fine time you find someone nice." The other protested.
"I'm not nice," Countered the player. "I highly doubt someone would want to find me."
"That's not true, Dan. Most of my co-workers want your number, " the woman chirps. "Also, stay away from my office. It's gross."
"Aren't half of your office married?"
"That's why I said most, you idiot."
"Just for that, I'm going to your office dressed like a romance novel protagonist. The modern professor who goes home for the holidays and finds his humanity again. I'll have a trench coat and everything."
"How dare you. Then I'll strut by your friends in a bikini."
"That's mean. It's not Halloween; there is no need to scare them."
"I'll kill you-"
"Enough! Honestly, you two, you're in your late thirties. Stop bickering."
"No matter how old we are, Dani will always be my little sister."
"Aw. " Dani poses the same as the older man—hand on chest, hand over mouth—and looks close to tears. "I love you too, you big waste of space."
Cass creeps into the room, somehow vanishing from view as the three strangers chat. Tim is still determining where she is, but he figures she'll strike when she has the opening. He feels Duke palm the knife in his pocket, and Damian lowers himself in preparation to throw a ninja star.
Dan snaps his head up with a laugh. "Wow, you're fast. A little too loud, though. Make sure to flatline your heartbeat when sneaking up on people."
Cass drops down over him, but Dan only laughs. Her blade goes right through him, and her fast place kicks do nothing. She accidentally cuts the controller in half, stopping the man's laughter.
"No! I was winning!"
"Ha!" Dani barks, uncaring the ninja star that goes through her right shoulder and flies through her body to exit on the other side. "Dan forfeits!"
"How does this count as forfeiting-"
"Guys, the children are trying to kill us." The older man cuts in. He levels the Waynes with large, grandfatherly eyes. "Children, why are you trying to kill us?"
He says it the same way someone would as a child why they were putting things in their mouths.
"Not kill. Just harm," Duke responds, voice low and dangerous. " Why don't you answer our questions. How did you get in here?"
"Alfred, let us in. He said we could make ourselves at home while he stepped out." The old man frowned. "He went to get Bruce from his office."
"Who are you?" Tim demands next, filing away the claim that Alfred let them. The butler would have told them days in advance if someone would have access to the game room.
"I'm Danny Fenton. These are my children, Dani and Dan." Danny introduces, eyeing the crowd. "We're close friends of Alfred and Bruce."
"How-"
"It's so good to see you all again!" Dick cheers, running down the hallway and still in uniform. He jumps over his siblings in an impressive flip, not breaking stride to race into Danny's arms.
The older man holds them open seconds before they crash together. "Dick! Look how big you've gotten. Oh, it seems like only yesterday you were waist-high!"
"Ha ha ha, it has been a few years, Granpa Danny. Hi Auntie, Uncle! How are you?"
"Dickie, my sweet pea, look at you!" Dani squeals, leaning in for her own hug. She passes through a confused Cass like a ghost. "So handsome! And Tall! Who told you that you were allowed to grow taller than me?"
"Seeing that you are barely over five' six, everyone," Dan laughs, clapping Dick on the shoulder. "It's a shame we're twins, so I'm no taller."
"Um, Dick?" Tim calls as his brother breaks in fast-paced, reassurances that no matter how tall he is, he will always be open for hugs from the shorter adults. "Who are they?"
"Oh these are Fentons. Danny helped Alfred raise Bruce, so their like our extended family."
Tim blinks, wondering if this feeling of confusion is what his classmates mean whenever they joke about being at family functions and people who last saw them as babies walk up to them like they should know them. It's an odd feeling.
"Oh, them?" Jason says from behind the hallway. He peeks in casually, lowering his gun and raising the soda can in the other hand. "I heard about them but never met them. They have level purple clearance."
"Of course we do! We build that stupid cave for Bruce." Dan scoffs. "He got stuck down there as a kid and thought it was safe just to make an entire headquarters in a hole. Honestly."
"At least Bruce has a career and children," Danny says pointingly.
"Please don't compare me to my cousin." Dani groans. "It's exhausting."
Yeah, this is definitely extended family.

It really is wild to have been at the mall dressed butch with my trans pride pins playing Pokemon Go mentally making sure I didn't go too close to the Easter Bunny event which was swarmed with kids and their families while looking trans, having the trans flag on my body, and holding up my phone, as well as getting judged and stared at extra hard for being transmasc AND disabled in public restrooms, only to then then go online to see people claiming that it's okay to use a slur against trans people who were afab because we apparently don't have real problems. Like???
This shit ass discourse is so far removed from the reality of existing as any type of trans person that it would be funny if it wasn't so goddamn sad. A black butch lesbian got swarmed by cops in a Walmart in my city in February while using the women's restroom and not a single person in a position of political power in my so-called blue city and blue-ish state has said shit about it despite me reaching out to both my mayor and governor's offices demanding they do something to make the trans people of Arizona feel safe and protected from this sort of violence. We really do not need to be out here defending calling other trans people slurs invented on 4chan because?? You like being mean?? Idk I don't get it. Why do you want to be allowed to use a transphbic slur thought up by transphobes as a slur against trans people. What the fuck is wrong with you.

At once, Artemis sees Butler as a father figure who must acquiesce to all his whims.
Yet, it is true that :
1) Butler doesn't see Artemis as a son per se (eg B1 and B5, Butler thinks of Artemis as akin to a little brother or younger close friend - hard to see yourself in a paternal role for someone over whom you have little power)
and 2) Artemis takes up the space in Butler's life that would be occupied by a child.
Relatedly.
Can you even like. imagine. how much of a nightmare Artemis would be if Butler ever had a child

the way that even in early usa, extended families often lived together or within walking distance
the idea that each nuclear family should have its own house, own appliances, own everything and that adult children should move out at 18 is a relatively recent post-WWII, suburbanization-era invention
and it just so happens to be highly profitable
#segmentation of the customer even#this is why charming acres and 1950s features the way it does#1950s popularized the image of the self-contained upwardly mobile nuclear family#the game is rigged#extended family living was increasingly framed as backward immigrant or rural#suburban nuclear family became a national identity project and it survives in marketing materials and specific targeted consumerism#consumerism Cold War ideology and gender roles (housewife breadwinner etc.)#bc from a business perspective splitting extended families into individual homes was a gold mine#not owning a home not having a perfect family unit needing help from relatives staying with your parents past 18#or relying on community all became loaded with stigma#the use of words like codependent and socially incestuous applied liberally furthered the agenda#pop psychology gets over applied#they’re often over-applied in contexts where people are simply staying close surviving together or choosing mutual care#what gets labeled as pathology is not weird at all and historically common and culturally valid… it’s just not as profitable#making them question bonds that may be loving supportive and necessary#thinking about this a lot being more embedded in an extended network again#anyway spn does this well!#abusing the lower class then calling them Weird for huddling together when upper classes are in fact the ones who are flagrantly nepotism#when in fact upper class is Weirder and 9-10 times the one salivating over the Idea is upper class#i feel like if you miss this you miss Everything#surburbia is weird and isolating on purpose

Both of the rarepair fan kids are so bug like. Its amazing. <- (avid bug enjoyer. ) Your art is also very fun because it's pretty close to cannon but also it has your own personal flair. Which I really like!
Thank you!!! Dubstep was very intentionally based on a beetle bc Shockwave is so bug to me and I was having trouble with her shape language but Crashstop was simply an accident <3 Her exhaust pipe horns simply are all the bug vibe.
Also funny you say that because for their artfight pages I completely change up the style for the profile pics <3

Listening to Ribs by Lorde thinking about a pre breakup Mihawk telling Shanks.
“Your the only friend I need”
And Shanks a man who has always known company and has dedicated his life to having friends/family, doesn’t know how to take that.
Mihawk who intended this as a “flirt” is doing his best looking up through his eyelashes trick.
This does not help. At all

Grudge Match headcanon:
Messmer owns many, many snakes, but his favorites are two albino reticulated pythons. Their names are Uriel and Tamiel. Both are pushing nine feet long, and both are certified therapy animals. They wear little vests with their certification patches. They help Messmer keep calm by draping around him like a weighted blanket, and they are quite well attuned to his moods. In stressful social situations, Messmer will find a place to sit down and then slowly disappear under his cocoon of snakes.

Continuation of this AU with Nabatean adjacent/related characters!
hc included
Cyril's didn't had time nor occasion to care for a pokemon while he was in Almyra, and during his time at the Gonerils he had, say, other priorities.
He helps the monastery's helpers feed the numerous pokemons there, let them be strays who just happen to be there, or sometimes, the ones who follow and are used by some knights. Alois receives an egg as a thank you gift from some members of the Eastern Church, but given how his Probopass is already looking after/bonding with other mons, he ultimately gives the egg to Cyril.
Cyril's at first very excited to get his first pokemon, but when Jangmo-o hatches, he's disappointed. Jangmo-o line is very popular in Almyra, there are stories of great Almyran heroes and warriors with their Kommo-o but he now he doesn't want to be associated to those stories anymore : sure they were great warriors who fought and won, but at the end of the day, those stories never mention what happens to those warrior's families when they lose, or to the people they leave behind when they fight.
He's even more pissed when Jangmo-o first rekts the Goomy who always follows him (Lady Rhea's Goomy ?), why is he fighting against other pokemons who never asked anything, does he only knows how to fight or what? He - sorts of - changes his mind when he catches his mon with one of Lady Rhea's pokepuffs (they're sickly sweet and always needlessly decorated), thinking he stole it from the Goomy but nope, somehow, he shares the pokepuff with the Goomy and the dumb-looking Woopers living in Rhea's pond. He still tries to challenge the pond's Clodsire, but always gets comically rekt'd.
"Maybe he doesn't know how to bond with others?"
Cyril thinks a bit on what Seteth told him, and tries to have Jangmo-o help him around in the monastery, like cutting wood and carrying the logs.
Shamir called them similar once because they keep on running around, but he denied : they're not! (Jangmo-o also tries to take on Shamir's Inteleon in a fight, but never wins).
Plot happens and whent the Western Church infiltrates the monastery, Cyril muses on his powerlessness and asks Jangmo-o if they can "train" together, because he wants to become stronger to be able to protect the ones he cares about. Jangmo-o actually kills (his first W!) one of Flamey's army's Watchog during the "rescue Flayn" map.
Then the Supreme War begins.
In CF, in the initial defend GM map, Jangmo-o evolves and Hakamo-o does his best to protect his home, to no avail. In the last map, Kommo-o kills Supreme Leader's Corviknight, but ultimately falls to Lysithea's Reuniclus.
In VW, Nader is impressed at "that lad" having a Kommo-o and wants to challenge him with his team, but both Cyril and Kommo-o do not give a fuck about his challenge, they have other priorities.

Young!Cassandra eagerly awaited her first pokemon, maybe it'd be a Bisharp or something cool like that.
To say she was disappointed when Count Charon gave her a Pawmi would have been a disappointment, she didn't really know what she didn't want, but damn if orange fat rodent isn't suddenly making it in the top spot on her list.
When she told her Mother Pawmi would have been a better fit for the young lady in the royal castle, Lady Charon nearly chocked and called her an idiot, is she really one who judges pokemons based on their appearances? As the future leader of House Charon, she has to be able to look beyond appearances, and learn to care and protect everyone.
Going to Garreg Mach, she's a bit pissed because she receives a lot of comments about how cute Pawmi is, Christophe and his Ambipom always laugh at her, but they still hang out together.
When Cassandra goes monster chasing and nearly dies, Rhea reveals Pawmi stayed by her side and was so worried he foraged and stored a lot of berries for her to eat, when she'd wake up. Cassandra is a bit surprised, she never really bonded with her pokemon, but he's still that devoted to her? She pats his head, he's sort of cool, in his own way. (Pawmi also agrees Rhea's the best, but not for the same reasons Cassandra has, just because they really enjoy her sickly sweet pokepuffs).
Cassandra gratduates with Pawmo and is proud to call him her pokemon partner.
Tragedy of Duscur happens, and Cassandra has to run away from Faerghus, she tries to convince Pawmo to stay with her siblings, he'll be safe this way and she'll feel better to know that at least, he can protect them in her stead given the turbulent times they're in. Pawmo dgaf, they will fight and live together, or fight and die together.
They end up in Garreg Mach, and when the Christophe incident happens, Pawmo is the one to defeat Ambipom - who clearly doesn't want to fight. Chris being too radicalised tells Ambipom to continue on fighting no matter what, so Pawmo ends the life of his former bestie.
Pawmo doesn't want to fight anymore after that, and Cat fights as a knight of Seiros alone, without her trusted partner pokemon. He and Shamir's Inteleon somehow get along, and little by little, people believe Pawmo is just one of the Monastery's pokemons, who hangs out with the Knights and looks after other, younger, mons (Pawmo rekt'd Cyril's Jangmo-o who foolishly challenged him to a fight). After the Western Church's attack on the monastery to steal the SoC, witnessing some students and mons die even if he tried to protect them Pawmo decides to battle again.
In CF, Pawmot in the one who one-shot'd Whodislava's Typhlosion, but he died to Linhardt's Golurk.
In the other routes, after the war, Pawmot returns to the Monastery with Cat and no one wants to believe Manu when she says this is Catherine's pokemon, because they expect a fiercer and "more badass looking" mon, but no one managed to beat him in a fight.

Manu, had an Oricorio, Flamenco style, during her Mittelfrank era days.
Oricorio was her best friend, and truth to be told, the only one she could confide in when, work in the Opera company involved everything but dancing and singing. When age started to catch up to her (aka getting closer and closer to 20 yo), she learnt she was soon going to be replaced by someone else.
Oricorio took a liking to Dorothea and they were often found dancing together at the end of Manu's performances, in the backstage. Still, when Manu realises she envisaged, even for a fraction of second, to sabotage one of Doro's performances to make sure she wouldn't replace her, she was so ashamed and tried to drank the guilt away - it didn't work. Let it be this or being "invited" to Imperial Prince Hans 1 birthday party, in the few weeks after her most legendary hangover, Oricorio really felt something was wrong and ultimately understood Manu's need to get away from this place, even if it means putting an end to her glory days.
She told her bird she'd like to go somewhere else to "think" and maybe find herself again, but on the very next day, Oricorio was nowhere to be found : Doro helped her look for the mon, and found her dead, thrown in a backalley.
Understanding this as a way to tell her to get the fuck away of the Opera Company - maybe by some people who still saw her as a rival - she left hurriedly, but not before making Doro promise that she would learn how to protect herself, and never let her Ladyba out of her sight, as long as they both are in the Opera Company. Doro didn't understand why at first, but reuniting in Garreg Mach, she thanks Manu for everything she did : if she and Ledian are alive and kicking in Garreg Mach, it's thanks to her.
Furfrou isn't really her pokemon in Garreg Mach, he's just one of the Monastery's Furfrous, but she finds him funny and enjoys seeing the look on Hanneman and Seteth's faces when she gives him a different style - also it makes some students laugh, so that's a plus. She still believes she cannot have or look after another pokemon after letting Oricorio down, but with time, Furfrou, while not "hers", becomes one of her main concerns, like, she cooks her own poffins for him, takes him out on walks, tries to teach him how to bark/sing in rythm, etc etc.
She often prays for Oricorio in the Cathedral, and after drinking a bit, reveals to Seteth how she is afraid of failing another mon, again. While Seteth's puzzled because, it's not like she had been the one to kill Oricorio or put her in danger, he understands the feeling well as one who lost some of his trusted partners back then during the WoH, or even, to old age.
Furfrou bit Jeritza and tried to attack him to prevent him from knocking Manu down, but his Absol ultimately defeated him.
War happens, and Manu heals both humans and pokemons : Furfrou follows her on the battlefield and carries some sort of first aid kit, but also, his very thick fur saved her life more than once by taking a blow meant for her.
CF wise, her Furfrou still hates Absol's guts and stops singing/barking anymore after the BESF kills Seteth'n'Flayn - and ignores her pleas to spare their pokemons. After the final battle in Firdhiad, Furfrou leaves Manu and she doesn't try to call him back, understanding it's his choice and laments about her inability to protect her trusted partner from the war.

Young!Yuri asked the old man if he has a pokemon, because he'd like to have one too, a real one not like the Dedenne who hangs out near them from times to times his Mom became fond of.
Aubin told him every pokemon is to be loved, and the Goddess favors each of them equally. After his death, somehow, a weird looking Zorua hangs around Yuri's house. Being a bit afraid at first, he opts to listen to the old man's sermon and wants to befriend this strange mon, who accepts to stay around (and to be pet).
Shenanigans happen, (Zorua helps Yuri escape from Varley's manor and used his ability to morph in a Dusknoir to scare away the Varley Gumshoos sent after Yuri) and Yuri's Zorua becomes a main topic of gossip at Count Rowe's estate, what kind of mon is it, it doesn't look like a Duscurian Vulpix but it's definitely no Vulpix from Fodlan, etc etc.
Wanting to avoid the same uneeded attention when he first enrols, Yuri asks Zorua to pretend to be a "regular" Vulpix, which is something he does a bit annoyed, but for some odd reason, a Goomy isn't fooled and gives Zorua a pokepuffs enjoyed by ghost!type mons.
Aelfie stuff happens (Zorua found him strange), Yuri is expelled and Zorua can finally stop pretending to be something he's not - except when he and his master are doing spy stuff. Or when he can use his ability to pretend to be someone else and receive more pokepuffs and yet he's a bit puzzled, he's sure Flayn knows who he is, and yet, she keeps on giving him pokepuffs.
CF and SB wise, Zoroark is always annoyed, but follows Yuri and uses his abilities to either help people run away from the Empire, warn other mons about upcoming attacks and what not.
Hubert suspects there's a mole in the BESF, but never managed to find out Zoroark's implications.
Zoroark refuses to fight during the final battle.
In GW, Zoroark fights against the Federation. Has Yuri asked him to stand by the Church or is it something he decided on his own, no one will ever know, but after this fight, rumors start around the Federation's camp about "an angry Duscurian Ninetales" tearing apart soldiers from the Federation and Kingdom alike whenever they come too close to the place Yuri's mom is living in.

As a member of House Nuvelle, Constance received her first plant type pokemon at age 5.
She and Budew became fast friends, and Budew was very happy to help and assist - at least that's what Constance called it - her when it came to "play" with magic.
House Nuvelle members being known for having a lot of plant type mons, her siblings' pokemons (bellsprouts, oddish, hopips...) all got along, under the watchful eye of her Mother's Meowscarada. Budew befriended Emile's Klefki and somehow pranked the lad into gifting the most beautiful red flower to Constance, something that had ultimately been organised by Mercie's Tarsal.
Sadly, House Nuvelle fell to ruin and its members were put to death, Meowscarada somehow escaped and followed Constance, when they were sheltered by Duke Gerth. Budew became very depressed, mirroring his master and didn't follow her to Firdhiad to enrol in the Magic School, but Meowscarada did.
Budew evolved in Roselia after seeing Constance back on her feet again, and determined to restore the name of her House. Somehow ending up in the Abyss, Meowscarada is wary of Aelfie, while Roselia tries to avoid Hapi's Heracross for some reason.
Some weird merchant sells Constance an egg, telling her it will bring her great fortune for her house and is an omen of prosperity - she ends up with a golden Magikarp. Yuri laughs at her, even Balthus wouldn't have been scammed like that, but Constance shuts him up, as a member of House Nuvelle she will raise this Golden Magikarp in the most excellent and splendid mon the world has ever seen.
Meowscarada dies in the Supreme Invasion, she helped Constance and Roselia get out of the Abyss but was caught by Thales' Celesteela.
In CF, her Roserade fights side by side with Jeritza's Absol, but Gyarados is seemingly perpetually enraged and difficult to command on battles.
In VW, Gyarados destroys Zombie!Lamine - in AM, Roserade felt something was "off" with Volkhard and engaged him first, being the only one in this route to make the link between that man and the weird pokeball he wears on his belt.

Lycaon played a lot with a Litwick he found in Enbarr's church when he was a kid - but somehow, the Litwick didn't drain his life enough to endanger him, but rather prefered to play pranks on people. Of course, the pranks never worked on Wilhelm's Wooper, Lycaon believed his Pa's pokemon was too smart, but Litwick knew Wooper was too dumb to understand a thing.
After the important battle in Gronder in -41, Litwick evolves in Lampent.
Lampent still follows Lycaon on battlefields and as a ghost type pokemon, she sorts of get alongs with Macuil's Banette, together, they do scouting missions and help with reckon. The war goes on, Lycaon is sort of separated from the main army and ends up near Zanado - sure, he always wanted to go there because that's his mom's place but she and his uncles always forbade him from going there, even Cethleann told him he shouldn't go there.
Of course he goes there, finds a random trinket from the floor to give to his mom ("it will surely make her happy!" as he picks what was left from a water hose), completely misses how Zanado became a nest for "Blue Beasts" and ultimately has to run away. On the run, he somehow loses Lampent somewhere - the Immaculate One has to bust his ass out of this situation and rescuing poor Lampent who already fainted.
When Lampent wakes up, she evolves on spot in Chandelure - being exposed to all the resentment/tragedy/drama that happened in Zanado more or less acted as a Dark Stone - after freaking out a bit, she resumes her favorite activity, hovering over Lycaon and playing pranks on people - even if, on battlefields, she becomes especially ruthless to the Elites and their pokemons.
The War ends, and Lycaon is assassinated, Chandelure loses it and blazes a part of Enbarr. She refuses to leave the place where Lycaon died, aka the now ruins of an old aisle of the Imperial Palace and haunts this specific area - whenever someone goes near, they immediately die of "mysterious causes", but after a bit of convincing from Rhea, she merely confuses them (instead of cooking them) so they forget why they wanted to go to that place and turn away instead.
During the events of the game, more or less feeling Agarthan presence, she escapes being killed by one of Bias' Blacephalon, and settles in Zanado.
She will join Flayn in SS and live with Rhea if she lives in the post war.
In the every other route, she remains in Zanado.

"it's not the immigrants he wants to get rid of, it's the illegals!" I hope you realize all immigrants are illegal to a xenophobe's eyes
