bern Why did my mind go to "Reina and Celia in a competitive Kingchester personnel killing game"? Just see who can rack up the most kills in a limited time-

"Y-You are sounding like your own father here!" And then there's only four people left alive... And yet one of them is standing up despite working against her? "You two both think you want to create a utopia and get rid of pain and evil. And you two have lost it because if this Kaori person-

"...At least Aleister never declared himself to be a god." ...Ouch. Even they know something has gone seriously wrong the instant someone is declaring themselves as god. That is usually the first sign something has utterly and completely snapped. This goes beyond hating family members now. So-

"....Apparently this is what your father did to her before." There is some irony of how a girl locked away is essentially trying to seclude someone once more. "If you could, it'd be best to make her a pure asset. I know Blackwell would have wanted to meddle with her mind to make her how-

"So you haven't taken your Mans risk taking here." They don't sound ashamed. But they seem very curious about her right now while the survivors are more... curious? Even when their people have been brutally killed? "What are you doing to her anyways!? Forming Reina in some way!?" It would-

"...Kill her? Not form her against him or anything? Not meddle with her mind or anything? Just kill?" These guys are going to unintentionally give her more ideas for the future by the sounds of things. "Y-You simply can't go scorched Earth like this! It'll spell doom with everyone here!"-

bern Why do I have a feeling if Reina gets the Unity treatment, Celias first response would be "Kill Reina".

"W-What do you plan to do if you do take out the AI!? Bring the world back to the stone ages!?" That seems to be a worrying possibility given how interconnected Vi is to a ton of electronics. "...And of course you'd have to make a contigency in case Project Unity does happen." They may be-

"....The thing is that if that AI breaks, it means every Kingchester electronic will shut down too." The survivors aren't sure how to say this. "Cities will go dark. Ships will stop moving. Cars will stop. Satellites will fall. Hospital devices will stop saving people." So there is a lot-

....Vi can sense someone may target her. Uh oh.

bern ....If you think about it, the plan I have on Reina is kind of more gruesome than what she did to Amelia and Wendy.

...That is nightmare inducing, that's for sure. "....She wants to one-up Shadow Pokemon with her Corruption methods to try and be better than her employers! She wants to hybridize people! And... And... all we know is she said that her "biggest plan" is something she'd put her own plans in-

One has to wonder if Celia preventing Reina from going to this level of violence is either because Celia wants to be like this herself or a case of setting standards here. Because a lot of this would be what Reina could have done if she had no filter. "L-LOOK! All we know is she came from-

That guy let out a bit of a screech in pain as he felt his legs being twisted off! And the worst part is that these clients don't have many good Pokemon them to even stand a fighting chance! "L-L-LOOK! We can talk! J-Just spare the rest of us! We'll give you anything you want, too!" Yep. They're-

bern Heat FUCK off.

"Octavian...? You don't mean.... Oh...." So this girl is responsible for his death? They were curious what even happened. But of course they had to continue their business together, especially with the scientists to deliver what they know. "...You know we won't talk to someone who may-

Seems not even Alola is safe from climate change. There's supposed to be a few ice types here. To think the Kingchesters could easily fix this with their riches and instead are chasing after one girl for some messed up plan. "....Excuse me, who is this lost child?" Of course they would say-

And then there's some of those clients speaking to each other. Writer almost forgot about that. Heatwave making things difficult. Speaking of heatwave, even those clients are melting from the Alolan heat...

Good news for those soldiers? They got out of the island. Bad news? They are on a very, very tiny boat. Aleister ditched them.

"....Siiiigh. The Galar Cargo ship is being held hostage? And you expect an Assassin to fix it? Whatever. I can try." Seems some of the higher ups is giving Xiao Gui permission to go to Galar to rescue this shipment... Oh dear.

"... I don't know whether to consider that mission succeeded or failed." She did push Wendy to have her Pokemon fight. And they did put up a decent fight. And Wendy is aware of her issues but... Vi isn't sure if that was the big push needed...

"If you can't let your Pokemon stretch their wings and finally fight, how will you be able to protect Reina? You know you can't throw your body at everything and expect to protect everyone. How can you protect others if you can't protect yourself? Your Pokemon showed they can fight. And yet-

bern A certain Poison specialist could be dragged in too eventually if that happens.

bern And I will reply once I know Lucia is here and awake and hopefully finish this battle up-.

"...85% heat... Overload imminent... cooldown required." Despite seeing some slightly better than expected results because Wendys Pokemon are showing they /can/ fight, she is still trying to push Wendy here... Pushing someone to see the truth is what Vi needs. But it seems like she is too-

bern How close would y'all think Vi vs Wendy would be here, personally speaking? At least to end?

bern I may just respond later once Lucia is 100% because with the rate this is going, Vi may need Banyan to pull her out before the overheating hits-.

If this was Vi taking this very seriously and dangerously, she would end Wendy and her team, here and now. Not even with a Pokemon. So what is she intending to do by intentionally misplays, letting the Sceptile take the full force of the Horn Attack!? "...Do you know the full extent of the-

"...Trust your Pokemon. A shield can't be everywhere at once." Vi is more like a very stern teacher right now. She does hold compassion but also sternship from Charlotte... But being a Blackwell creation, as much as she hates it, she holds some sadism. That may have been obvious. Though she-

....There was a bit of a smirk here as the bodies were letting up. Even if the Water Gun did damage to the other body. She actually isn't bothering to move her other body from the vicious Rhyhorn, letting it crush it. She can make new bodies. It's not about the battle. It's about the message.-

...Did Vi go there with saying that Reinas life became /worse/ the moment Stella left and Wendy came in? Wonder how many people can agree with that.

"....Heat 45%...." Seems she'll be intentionally using her increasing heat temperatures to put it in her hands, gripping hard onto Wendys hand. It'd feel like lava, that's for sure. "So what you're saying it's the Cores fault for wanting something most people have: Stable relationships with-

INB4 Celias powers turn her into Bob Ross.

bern I will say, if Reina /does/ break... She'll likely make Celia look like a Care Bear by comparison, attitude and personality-wise.

"...." That stoic face stilled look right at Wendy, going right through her soul. Those glitchy, robotic eyes. "...If you have a family member you love and your partner fighting each other, regardless of who attacked first... Regardless of who shot first, how would you feel? Two people you-

bern I guess it depends on this matter of perspective: What is more toxic and dangerous? Black and White thinking or... Complex Gray thinking in a world where everyone else is Black and White?

"...All Pokemon begin as something that can't fight back. Even if the fight is one-sided, even merely stepping in and /trying/ is experience for some Pokemon. The Froakie and Weedle that started the Cores adventure knew they couldn't get stronger without /trying/ to fight. What is better than-

bern Or hell, for a better perspective to describe Reina from the late, great Bray Wyatt: "In a world of Black and White, I am the color Red".

bern And then there is Reina who doesn't see things /as/ black and white. But in a weird way, you can argue someone seeing things in mostly gray in a world of Black and White can be as toxic ad two Black and White people fighting.

"This electricity is not going to stop until you KNEEL." Vi was being rather forceful, letting the electricity go through her hands to force Wendy to kneel... And her body was fuming a bit. "...30% heat rate already. I am surprised that didn't make me go higher." Huff.... More and more Vi copies-

Despite having a full team, she is really inexperienced. Even those who strive as professors at least have some semblance of a strategy or strength if things go sour. No... what irked Vi wasn't just the fact she got captured. Vi assumed her Eevee had absolutely no attacking moves to defend-

[ @saffroncedar.bsky.social ] Sensors within the tail of the successfully spliced one has been going haywire. The direction she has been going makes the strange AI curious. No... She scanned those letters. She knows why Wendy is disappearing. But she doesn't have much trust that she'd-

bern youtu.be/fMrpVDYZCbU?... And this song? This has some Banyan vibes even if so far, Happy Chaos and Banyan feel like they'd hate each other. But it fits so far in many aspects-.

bern Lyric-wise if you read into it, Crawl is the closest Guilty Gear song I can compare to Celia so: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBZJ...

bern While I am writing a certain tiny AI to attack Wendy, I am also overanalyzing the SL characters by trying to find Guilty Gear songs that fit with them-.

...The original Vi body is looking like a doll on the ground right now. Or like a marketable plushie with how she is shaped. Or both.

"...I have a few buttons in the back of my head to revert me back to this body if my AI splits. And I am only saying this because if something happens to me then a ton of Kingchester electronics go out with me. In fact, people may think there'd be a power surge with what I'd be doing. But it-

"...It'd be leverage at the very least to try and get Reina how we want them. Or maybe we'd see some actual progression on her partners part. At the very least, it seems like there is some progress, no matter how little that she sees there's faults in herself. Just... make sure I don't overheat."

"...I did say I was going to try and influence her to take a more proactive role in Reinas life if she is truly, utterly serious about wanting to protect her. Because she may have a shield but she has no sword. The Blackwell incident was an eye opener for me. And having to hear those horrific-
