Continued from here

“While I did say that I don’t believe myself fit to raise them on my own, I do feel comfortable doing it with the help I have." He explained. "I am one of their many guardians, not their parents. While I am an adult figure in their lives, I am also a friend and confidant. I would not ever dream of giving them away. Apologies if my wording wasn’t clear on that one.”

No matter how he loathed to admit it, Vourison saw a bit of his younger self in this Absol. A version brasher, even crueller. He didn't want Destino to repeat his own foolish mistakes, so he chose to continue speaking, despite a part of him yelling not to, to end the conversation now and leave the other pokemon be.

He only prayed his advice did not fall on deaf ears.

“However, I think the problem that, not just you, but many others have is that they struggle to see children as people. Sure, they are small and ignorant, but they are people. Reflecting upon yourself and deciding you wouldn’t be fit to raise a child is fine and healthy, in fact I commend you for it! However, if all you see is a disaster and tantrum waiting to happen, and refuse to engage with any critical thinking on why they act the way they do, then it’s going to negatively effect how you perceive them, and your people, overall.”

“Now, this isn’t meant to be an attack on yourself or anything. I applaud your maturity when it comes to knowing yourself, but a bit of reflection would probably do you some good. I've had this same problem in the past. I used to detest children. It's taken me quite a bit of time to break myself out of that mindset, but I am all the better for it."

Vourison paused at that last comment, noting the slight bitterness. “Well, since I don’t know the situation in depth, I can’t give any specific advice. But, if you cherish this friend, if you cared for them? I suggest you ask them why they kept that secret, have a real and meaningful conversation. Once all the details are laid out, then judge for yourself if that reason was good or not. It can be hard to lose someone you’re close with to conflicts like these, so if it can be prevented, you should at least try."

"This is all just my advice though. You can take it or leave it." Please don't leave it. "In any case, I do hope you repair your relationship if possible.”

[ask-the-fogbound-serpent]

*Destino approaches Vourison.*

Destino: You’ve got to be kidding me. Bringing children to an event like this? Really? What, are you trying to make everyone have the worst night’s sleep ever? How am I meant to look as fabulous as possible when there are children running around, screaming all over the place? Gross, disgusting children. Just thinking about them makes me want to gag. You better have that one trained up because I cannot have another night’s sleep ruined.

Vourison peered down at the tiny absol, confused as to why he was suddenly being harassed(?) by this so called 'royal'.

"Listen, I don't know how to tell you this but, this is a slumber party." Voruison said, as if speaking to a particularly dense child, "It's not exactly the most extravagant of celebrations. I really don't know what you're expecting. If you wanted a place without children, then you should have chosen a different event to join. Plenty of places offer adult only gatherings, if that is what you're looking for." He squinted confusedly at the body pillow.

"In any case, I trust those two not to cause trouble. And don't use the word 'trained' as if they are a pet. It's quite demeaning. If there is not enough pity in your heart even for at least that, then I sincerely worry for the well being of any kingdom you may come to rule." He grunted. Vourison would normally be more annoyed with someone insulting the kids, but Destino really was all bark and no bite, someone who enjoyed getting on others nerves. It was best not to interact with them further if it can be helped.

#wough this is such a fun response! I'll be posing Vourison's answer soon~ #pokeask #pokemon ask blog #vourison #lousleepover #interaction #ask-the-royal-absol #i need to start tagging blogs jksjkasdhj

[ask-the-fogbound-serpent]

Hey everyone, I just wanted to give a quick update. It's going to take me longer to respond to asks/posts due to exams + me getting sick. I'll be pretty inactive for the next few days, but I'll respond whenever I can!

#ooc #mod stuff

[ask-the-fogbound-serpent]

(@lightofunova): Arti@Vourison: The frigid legend found herself closer to one of the walls rather than in the middle of the action like her electric counterpart. Turning her face upwards she caught wind of a rather tired looking Rayquaza who seemed to mirror her own irritation. “Did you get dragged here too?” She asked rather plainly. “Honestly I just wanted to finish my duties and go home for the day, I don’t know why Zapdos wanted to drag me here. The place has a gaping hole in it. Hardly seems safe to me.”

"Ugh, yeah, I feel you there." Vourison grumbled, "I have so many things I need to take care of and watch over back in my realm, but if I didn't come then I know everyone would have annoyed me until the end of time. The hole in the wall doesn't really inspire confidence either."

"Really I'm here mostly for the kids." He nodded towards Tempora and Iter, who were chatting with other party-goers, "They wanted to come the second the letter arrived, and I was hesitant to argue with them. They deserve to have fun, especially after how hard they've been working."

"What about yourself, any specific reason you got dragged here or nah?"

#pokeask #pokemon ask blog #vourison #LoUsleepover #interaction #everyone is forcing vourison to take a break he never stops #he's married to his job lmao

[ask-the-fogbound-serpent]

Vourison blinked, slightly surprised. That... was not as bad of a response as he had been expecting. Then again, he tended to expect the worst case scenario even when he really shouldn't. Maybe he could even have a somewhat decent conversation with this absol.

"You know, that's a pretty fair concern. But it's why I've brought some novels and sketchbooks with me, so even if they can't sleep they can entertain themselves quietly. They're pretty smart and sweet kids either way, so I highly doubt they'd purposefully make loud noise while others are sleeping. But, if it makes you feel better, if for some reason they do become disruptive we can just. Leave the event."

"As for raising kids, yeah, it's definitely not for everyone." He continued, "I can understand not wanting to spend time around them. You'd have better luck asking other parents their choices for having children, as you hit the nail on the head. These two are adopted, though the circumstances around their adoption is highly unusual to say the least. They had nowhere else to go, and I was the only one in a position to help them."

"Now, if I had found them as babies I probably wouldn't have chosen to be as involved in raising them. I'm not exactly fit for it. But, over time we grew close, and now I'm a great-uncle to them while others around me help out." He waved a hand, "'It takes a village' and all that jazz."

He tilted his head towards Destino. "Though I am a bit curious, if you don't plan to have children, who will rule after you? I know different kingdoms work in different ways, so will you select a suitable successor later down the line? Or are they chosen through some other method."

*Destino approaches Vourison.*

Destino: You’ve got to be kidding me. Bringing children to an event like this? Really? What, are you trying to make everyone have the worst night’s sleep ever?

"Hey there kid." Vourison greeted, "Glad to see you're doing alright. I was just popping in to see how you were doing, but seeing as you were resting I took the chance to relax myself." He pointedly did not mention Sugar had been there. Best not to stress the poor kid any more then needed.

"Hope you're feeling better now, especially after... well, everything."

Sugar,

I know I shouldn't tell you this, but there's a chance that your child is going to be killed within a Proxy war between Giratina and the gods of Space and Time. While one of the rival champions pose no threat to the UV, the other might not be as kind and could wind up killing him. Your son is in grave danger!

She thought about that for a moment. Tried to decide how she felt about that statement. But then a very large shadow fell over her, and all rational thought left Sugar's mind.

Whether she took anything said to heart was unknown- Sugar had taken one look at Vourison and fled. She knew better than to hang around, to try and tangle with such a Rayquaza. She had already been smacked to the ground, ridiculed and insulted.... any wise mon would have run by now, right?? Whateve the case, Sugar was gone, and a distance away, Ultraviolet was still sound asleep....

But this wouldn't last for much longer, as unbeknownst to you, night had shifted to dawn, and Ultraviolet awoke with the sun. He stretched and yawned, bright pink eyes falling upon the little gathered and widening with delight, then confusion.

"JJ? U? Vourison..? What are you all doing here?"

Sugar has left and Ultraviolet has awoken.

"Well, it really depends." Iter said, "For example, it's common for Arceus to simply create their legendaries, most often then not their creation trio, but there are cases where they are born."

"There have even been instances where normal pokemon ascend or are gifted legendary status!" Tempora but in, "The legendary beast trio are the most common example. Legendaries are weird like that."

"As for eating, it can be kiiiinda weird if you think about it, but it's always been normal for us." Tempora continued with a nod, "We share one stomach, but we eat a LOT due to our powers. Both of us usually eat because, well, its food! But if one of us doesent want to eat then the other can do it for them, no problem."

Lief @Tempora/Iter: The arrival of this duo were the next to catch his eye. To be more specific; the very sight of them very nearly put him into shock.

"Yeesh. I know the genetics of being a hybrid can get a little wild, but two heads? How'd that happen?"

"Oh, well we're not exactly a hybrid." Tempora explained, "We're conjoined twins! What happened with our creation isn't really known, but we think that our maker got both the powers of time and space mixed together when creating us, resulting in us being conjoined!... I'm not really sure how you would mess something like that up."

"It could have been that our maker was younger in terms of Arceus." Tier nervously piped up. "Though there's really no way to know. We barely remember them."

@ask-team-grim

Dravena @ Iter and Tempora

Those ‘mons, they’re exactly like…

Whether it would reinforce her apprehension of the future, or help quell it, Dravena couldn’t pass up the opportunity to talk to two pokemon that were currently living in nearly the exact situation that she herself dreaded. She approached the duo uneasily.

“I, uh, couldn’t help but notice. Y’all are two different ‘mons that share one body, right? So I was just wonderin’. What’s it like? Do y’all have conflicting wants or opinions sometimes? Trouble with agreein’ on what you want to do?” Dravena paused, her worries weighing heavily on her tongue.

“…Do you two fight?”

Dravena grinned halfheartedly, trying to break up the tension that she herself created. “Or do y’all get along fine? I guess I just wanna know how y’all handle it.”

The sisters paused at the sudden question. They exchanged glances, seemingly sharing a silent conversation, before turning back to Dravena.

"Well, sharing a body is how it's always been for us." Iter began, "So It'll probably be different in comparison to going from one to two heads, but for us? We wouldn't want it any other way."

"Sharing a body is interesting in that we both have partial control over it." She continued, "Most of the time we both share a half, but if needed the other can take over the whole body to let the other rest or to lead the other somewhere. Provided we're both willing, of course. We can't just yoink control from the other."

"It can be a biiiit annoying." Tempora lead after her sister, "It kinda sucks when we can't do the individual things we want, but what it really means is that we've gotten good at compromising and working together, along with choosing days and times where we do something the other wants to do."

"We also fight sometimes. I think it would be weirder if we didn't! But we have ways of cooling down after so we can talk later, usually by doing something quietly in our room separately for a bit. Things that don't require both of us. For example, I like drawing while Iter usually reads."

The two were silent for a moment before Iter spoke again.

"I don't mean to be rude, but I assume this is asking because of your evolution, Zweilous, right? It's a really unique situation. We'd be fine answering more questions if you had any!"

If anyone wants an ask from one of my characters for the sleepover event just leave a comment! Feel free to specify who you want an ask from or to~

Small reminder, Tempora and Iter always appear together (for obvious reasons). Both may chime in when I send out an ask!

Wo @ Vourison: (he looked up at him, eye squinting as he tried to focus) "I have read about what you are, but I haven't seen one that looks like you! I hope that you don't mind if I compliment your appearance..! Please forgive me if you find that to be not to your liking..."

To say Vourison was startled at the sudden compliment was putting it mildly. Usually all he got from other legends were looks of revulsion and disgust, or of terror and fear. Someone genuinely complimenting his appearance put him slightly off-kilter.

He took a moment to compose himself before responding, "Ah, no, you're fine. I'm just not used to getting such... positive reactions to my appearance. As for why I look this way..."

"Most Rayquaza guard their planets high up in the atmosphere. My role is similar, but also very distinct. I guard my world and aid wandering spirits and lost souls find peace and move on, along with rescuing those cast out unjustly. As such my powers are more aligned with ghost and grass then dragon or sky."

Vourison paused for a moment, thinking, before speaking once more, "I wasn't assigned that role, however. It is just something I grew and took on as I aged. Very different then other Rayquaza, from what I've heard."

(@ask-sarah-and-co) luna @ tempora and iter

Luna smiles in surprise when she wanders into. Hello there! She glances over their outfit, Your cloak is quite stylish. Do you know where you got it from? She grins while projecting the last telepathic message, I might have to get one myself.

"Wow, thank you so much!" Tempora said with a smile, "Our cloak is real comfy, yeah! Though not as comfy as your outfit." She said that last part to Aya, "It looks so soft, wow!"

"Uhm." Iter shrank beneath the sudden eyes on her, slightly nervous but trying to be more outgoing, "Out cloak was made by out great-grandma and our grunkle. Our grunkle provided the materials and base design while our grandma made the cloak itself."

"It's also been enchanted!" Tempora continued after her more quiet sibling, "A spell is waved into the fabric so it keeps us warm if it's cold or cool if it's warm. We're always the right temperature!"

"Unfortunately that means that you probably wont be able to get one like it easily." She continued, Iter lowering her head to rest it on the cloaks fluff, grateful she didn't have to talk anymore. "But grandma loves making things and is super nice! If you ask her nicely then she'll probably make you one just for fun. Our grunkle calls her 'too giving', but according to our grandpa she's always been that way."

(@ask-the-shiny-pokemons) Rimi approaching the trio. She makes a gentle smile on Rayquaza.

"Hi! Goodness, you have nice children over there (or not.). Can ya tell more about them?" (Might be an unrevealed fact about one of them.)

"Ah. Well, yes." Vourison said, somewhat awkwardly, voice flat and stilted. "Not by blood, but yes, they are my children. And they are also quite sweet, if a bit mischievous."

The way he said it, along with his general expression, made it sound kind of rude, but it wasn't like he meant it to be! He was genuinely trying to be at least somewhat cordial, it's just that he wasn't exactly used to talking with those... outside his own realm. Barring his family he never really visited anyone. How did one converse with well adjusted individuals?

"Geez, what is there to say... Uh, I found them about six years ago, took them in, and haven't known a moment of rest since. There's a bit of struggle to control their powers due to space and time mixing, but they've made a lot of improvements and always try their best. I am very proud of them."

"They also like giving me a heart attack every time they decide poking their head into a new realm is a good idea." He said that last part dryly. "What about yourself. You have any. Like, hobbies or whatever."

As he spoke, Tempora and Iter had approached Rimi curiously. Tempora, being braver, leaned forward to gently snuff and inspect the Lycanroc while Iter's head remained coiled back, watching the shiny nervously.

Vourison grumbled, scanning the area with a critical eye. The tower was old and cracked in a way that made him wary. Why had it not been maintained? Then again, the invite was sent by a Reshiram. His mother was the exception, not the rule, and they tended to sleep for many years in a stone form.

"Grunkle? Iter prodded him carefully while Tempora scanned the room. "Is everything ok?"

Vourison huffed, "Yeah, everything seems fine. It's a bit run down, but not too bad." He said, lowering his head to the ground, allowing the twins to hop off, "The other guests look calm, and it better stay that way. You girls can go ahead and explore, just stay where I can see you, ok?"

The trio have arrived at the event!

(@lightofunova) A flurry of brilliant white flames comes into your vision, swirling together until they form a sparkling scroll on old parchment. Unraveling it reveals old text stamped with flowers at the bottom of the letter. Though it seems almost impossible to read, the text begins to shift and translate itself for you!

“Dearest guest,

You are cordially invited to a night of fun and games at Lady Reshi’s request. Should you wish to attend please come to my tower and bring your finest sleepwear. We will have plenty of entertainment, food, and more for you to indulge yourself in. I eagerly await your arrival.

Reshiram”

"Absolutely not."

"Oh come on boss, It'll be fun! You can take the kids with you, go eat and chat, and then sleep." Eroubus said, gesturing towards the letter, "This is literally the most tame event you could ever be invited to."

"What I should be doing, instead of wasting time chatting with legends who probably have a stick up their ass and think they're Arceus' gift to the world below, is my god damn job." Vourison snapped back, tail lashing in agitation.

"Besides, I refuse to drag the kids anywhere there are potentially dangerous individuals. Gods knows what will happen if an Arceus' shows up, and I'm not willing to-"

"GRUNKLE VOURISON, WE'RE READY FOR THE EVENT!"

"YEAH! LETS GOGOGOGOGOOOOOOOO!!!"

Tempora and Iter had zipped out of the house wearing a thick, dark, fluffy cloak. Being giant dragons, they didn't exactly have anything approximating sleepwear, and this was the closest thing they had. It was enchanted to keep them warm and safe, and they had fallen asleep wearing it many times before.

Vourison stared at them for a long moment, ignoring Eroubus chuckling beside him. Then he let out a loud, frustrated groan, tossing his arms up into the air. "Fine. Fine! We'll go to the damn sleepover. But you two better stick close to me when we go." His voice softened marginally, "And, if for any reason you want to leave, just tell me, ok?"

"We promise!"

"We'll stick to you like glue!"

Vourison, Tempora, and Iter will all be attending the event!
