Irina’s journal, Saturday, July 30, 2050.
((This entry consists of lists of various things to turn into jam, including jam itself. ))
OOC Translation, and summary.
Irina is exploring the back alleys of Luzong. Looks through trash, throws away a potion, and has an interesting interaction with her reflection. Suddenly, Kip arrives and says something, but it is inaudible as static takes over Irina’s mind, and she falls into the dark depths of unconsciousness.
View comes back in, and she’s surrounded by glass. In an orange liquid, and can see her reflection, with stitches, and a strange quality to her eyes? Kip arrives, and it becomes clear she’s in a healing facility of some sort, that he’s at, in the past. He explains that he’ll help her recover. He won’t give up.
Back to the present day. She is at Kip’s place regaining consciousness. Kip explains he found her and wants her to stay by friends from now on. HE continues on, explaining that Irina is a Bv.2. He found her after a landslide in Katoto. Near an underground compound, and nursed her back to health. Carmine helped. Irina is excited to hear this news. It is also covered that many of her memories of Alola may not be real. Kip has had trouble locating proof of them. Kip explains that she cannot leave Yapos without getting sick, and he proclaims he will protect Irina. Her sclera are completely black, but Kip gives her a treatment to keep them white. Should last about a week. Carmine comes up, and Kip explains that he betrayed and hurt him, not to trust him. Lastly, Irina is introduced to her emotional support pokemon, Grigori.

What a sweetie.
Kip reveals that he had to legally adopt her. Her last name is hyphenated, with Gilligan, but covered up on her ID. She finally gets some rest.

Pre-bed Wrap-up.
Wow. What an Eventful Evening. Beginning with what I could not Mention last time. I won my First Trainer battle! She only had 2 Pokemon, but her Castform was much stronger. I pulled through with the Power of Light Screen. I Need to Research more Species and moves. I Made friends with her afterwards. Her name is Hasty, and she showed Me Where I could Find a Steel type Pokemon, for Sale?? By the PRISMA Foundation, who does Health and Wellness work for Bv.2s. This sounds Like a Place I would love To ply my Talents At, So I have sent them An email SAying I am Interested. I also have No idea How I would get 9.999 Pokedollars. A worry for another Time I guess.

I would Love to Find out More about This foundation. I hope that They actually do Good work and It is not Performative.
After our discussion regarding the Card, we have Decided to write the Info Paige would need down, and Give it to them in case of Emergency. Otherwise, we do not Plan on telling them Until after The meeting occurs. I will be Justifying this with the reasoning that It would further Stress them out, and they Deserve to Relax.
Ramwald Also talked with Angelo about his Pokemon, and got him to BE friendly(ish) to his Duskull, and even Name it!! That is a Huge step! I am very Proud of him!!!!!! Obviously he is Very proud of Betty, but Now, he can Call for his Duskull, Marceline!!! (I also think this Got Angelo to trust Ramwald more, which is also Excellent.)
After Ramwald and I went to get supplies, I got a Dozen Oranges to Help break the news to Paige, since I know Oranges are their favorite. Eva is Quite a Protective sort, but, I think that is a good thing. She is showing Gratitude for Everything Paige does For her, which, Is admirable. Thankfully, she Let me in, hehehe. But not Without a warning About not letting Me hurt them (Which I would Never do, And would hope I do not do Unintentionally.)
They had some lovely Tea, and Mercutio was heating the Kettle and gave me A handshake (No pets, huh.) I immediately Tried to apologize for Instigating the Whole Kip situation, and It seems Like They do not Blame me.
I tried explaining to Paige that Kip was not being Mean, that he had Erased memories of other Stuff that also got The memories of Them. But Paige told me that Is not How it Works, which Means I have some More Questions for Kip once things Are less Tense. I will Continue to Encourage Their Friendship If I can. Even though they both Seem Uneasy about it. I think my words made them Feel better. About the Whole situation. I hope So, At least. I then gave Them the Written information and Told them if it seems Like an Emergency, Open it and Read. They trusted me, and we Seemed to be under and Understanding. I really Hate keeping Secrets like this. Private, personal Information is One thing, but Potential Dangers is Quite another. I hope I do not end Up regretting This choice. I will have to Just Deal with It I suppose.
Paige was Then happy to receive the Gift I made for them. (And funnily, Apparently Eva did not Realize my birthday Was a few days Ago, and was sorry not To get me Something.)
It is a Custom made Sleep noise machine I designed after One time PAige and I had a lovely moment Online, both at a Beach in different PArts of the World. They talked about How nice it is to know Of the ocean Connecting US, so I wanted to further that Reminder. If is shaped like Tyrantrum, one of Their Favorite Mons. I also added a Sync button, Because I have one, and we Could sync up What we are Listening to. It would have been More of a success, but. Hm.
((Heavy Encryption Starts))
They relayed to me that They have a Curse that does not Allow them to Sleep normally, And need special Medicine to get Maybe 4 hours a Night. Otherwise, terrible Nightmares. I mistook it for Regular insomnia and made these machines. Which reminded them of this Curse. I feel awful, But I did hear About this curse, (Which I had been Worrying about) and Promised not To share this, Which is Why I have encrypted this Section. They said They could Enjoy it In other Ways. So, that is a Relief. Next time, It would be Good to know This stuff ahead of Time. but I do not want to guilt Them. It is reasonable not To share. Ugh. I hate my Brain sometimes.
((Heavy Encryption ends))
Lastly, Paige said They would give my Gift tomorrow Morning, and said We cannot work on Things tonight As to get Proper sleep. FINE hehehehe. I am Very Excited. I cannot Believe I get to be Such close friends with Someone Who is so Kind, Patient, capable, and wonderful to be around. I think I might Be the luckiest Person on the Earth. Hopefully, Eva does not Hit me With Mr. Bahammer and Explode me into 1 Million pieces. Paige would be Sad and It would Undo all the Hard work from tonight Cheering them Up.
((OOC SUMMARY OF ALLEI’s POV))
Allei is awoken in the middle of the night by noises from Kora, who is struggling in their sleep, and Pogi is barking. And glitching. Kora tries to deflect, but soon, Allei learns that she is a Bv.2, and Pogi is a strange pokemon sho helps her. She also learns that Kora’s leg got fucked up really bad trying to heist a former Psychic gym leader’s house, and they have little to no memory of exactly how it happened. Kora does not want to ask Kipa nd she asks Allei to help, who quickly learns that more technological prowess is necessary to fix this, which means, a professor, Vegil or Angelo, to help. Also learn, that Kora finds PRISMA gross, interesting, and that they can only remember back 4 years, washed up on a beach, and found that there was no record of her existing. FInally decide to brin everyone but Paige and Eva to the Heist to look into it, and, funnily enough some serious flirting ends with Kora and Allei agreeing to go out together! Lastly, it ends with Kora retreating, and Paige showing up to get ready for the hike?? They have a less tense conversation w/ Allei, and things end on a nice note.
Breakfast is made, and folks get up, ie, Vergil, Allei, Ramwald, and Morty. Kip goes to get Irina. Angelo is missing, and Morty and Allei end up going off to look for him. No signs of a struggle but his stuff is still there. After scouting with his Murkrow, they get a trail on him, and find him in a clearing. Singing can be heard as theta approach, which is strange, nobody has heard Angelo sing before. Then they see him giggling and singing with an imposing shadowy figure. A Darkrai. Will saves are made, Morty fails, and rolls down the hill to the clearing, as Allei fails to grab him. (and levels up LMAO)

4:47 AM
Well. Today is the Day. I get to Go on this lovely walk, Even though it is No hour for a Person to be Awake (need to remember not to Talk about sleep around Paige. Would be Very Unkind. I have been Practicing, so I think This will go very Well. I will walk, and See what they have to Show me. AND THEN!!! I get to see my Lovely Boyfriend for the very first time In person!!!! I can Hardly wait. This might Be the best Day of my Life!!!!! Here We go. Angleo Is being Looked for by Allei and Morty, so I am sure that Will be Fine.
6:03 AM
((The following portion is also heavily encrypted, and seems to be dictated.))
OHHHHH QUAZ I MESSED UP BUT I THINK IT WAS A GOOD MESS UP I GOTTA RUN AS FAST AS I CAN!!!! I’M GONNA CALL RAMWALD RIGHT AWAY AND THEN I GOTTA TALK THIS OUT TO MYSELF HOLY FUCK!!!!
6:19 AM
OK RAMWALD IS TAKING A BREAK TO CONFESS TO EVA AT MY BEHEST BECAUSE!!! I KNOW HE LOVES HER AND HE MIGHT NOT SEE HER AGAIN FOR A LONG WHILE BECAUSE I TOLD PAIGE WHAT WAS GOING ON (THEY DESCRIBED THE EXACT PERSON WE’RE DEALING WITH. AND THEN THEY RAN AWAY AS FAST AS THEY COULD WITHOUT SAYING GOODBYE????? I MEAN. THEY ALSO GAVE ME A LOVELY KISS TOO BUT!!! THAT’S MY FIRST KISS!!! AND IS IT GOODBYE??? WHAT DOES THIS MEAN!!!!
(Deep breaths are heard and they continue)
STARTING FROM THE TOP. WE GOT THERE WITHOUT ANY ISSUE, SAW TONS OF POKEMON SIGNS AND THINGS, AND THEY SHOWED ME THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SIGHT!!! I SAW THESE WONDERFULLY ORGANIZED RICE FIELDS, WITH PORYGON AND DRONES WORKING TOGETHER TO TAKE CARE OF THEM. WE WERE HOLDING HANDS, AND PAIGE WAS REALLY NERVOUS. BUT THEY WERE NOT AS SOON AS WE RELAXED. I’VE NEVER EVER SEEN THEM SO HAPPY. IT MADE MY HEART SING, I WANTED THEM TO BE HAPPY AND CONTENT AND SMILING AND GLOWING FOREVER!!!!!! THEY PICKED THIS BECAUSE IT COMBINES NATURE AND TECH BOTH OF OUR FAVORITES. SO KIND, AND THOUGHTFUL!!!!!
THEN!!!! tHEN THEY GAVE ME THE MOST FANTASTIC HANDMADE (BY THEM) BRACELET. IT HAD CHARIZARD SCALES, PONYTA THREADS. EVEN MERCUTIO’S SCALES IN AMBER. IT WAS SO WARM AND IT WAS THE BEST GIFT I’VE EVER RECEIVED IN MY LIFE. THEY SAID EVEN IF THEY’RE FAR AWAY, THEY’LL BE WITH ME. AND I WANTED TO DRY. NOBODY HAS EVER BEEN THIS KIND TO ME, OR EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT ME THIS MUCH, SAVE MY FAMILY. WE ENDED UP HUGGING VERY TIGHTLY, AND I NORMALLY HATE BEING TOUCHED BUT. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS SO TIGHT. I FELT LIKE I NEVER WANTED TO BE LET GO. I COULD HAVE STAYED LIKE THAT FOREVER. AND THEN I *DID* START CRYING. IT WAS EMBARRASSING. I DON’T KNOW HOW I HAVE SO MANY LOVING AND ATTENTIVE PEOPLE IN MY LIFE ALREADY AND I AM SCARED THAT SINCE I DON’T KNOW WHAT I DID RIGHT, I COULD DO SOMETHING WRONG. AND IT WILL ALL COME TUMBLING DOWN OUT OF NOWHERE AGAIN. LIKE IT HAS BEFORE. WHY AM I SO SCARED. I SHOULD BE HAPPIER THAN ANYTHING!!! NOW I FEEL LIKE A PARANOID JERK. I ASKED FOR A BREAK FROM HUGGING BECAUSE I WAS OVERWHELMED AND THEN. THEN THEY TOLD ME SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT. SOMEONE NAMED ANNABELLE THLOCO IS AFTER THEM. EX-FIANCE, BETRAYED THEM FOR FAMILY’S MONEY. ENTIRE JOB IS TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM GETTING CLOSE TO THEM. PAIGE NEEDS TO FIND CRESSELIA TO LIFT THEIR CURSE BUT IN THE MEANWHILE THEY CAN DO NOTHING BECAUSE THEY NEED THEIR FAMILY’S MONEY FOR THE MEDICINE TO TREAT IT. APPARENTLY ANABELLE, WHO I REALIZED WAS SCARLET, DOES A FAKE BATTLE WITH A SPEAROW. (ALREADY DID AND DID NOT DO THE THING THEY DESCRIBED). NEED TO PLUCK A FEATHER, AND SHE WILL LEAVE YOU ALONE. SO, AFTER PROCESSING ALL OF THAT, I TOLD PAIGE WHAT WE KNOW AND THAT IT LINES UP WITH ALL OF THAT. THEY THEN GOT REALLY TENSE. AND THEN ASKED IF SHE’S HERE, WHICH I SAID YES TO. AND THEN KISSED ME ON THE CHEEK AND RAN AWAY. I RISKED EVERYTHING TELLING THEM THE TRUTH, AND THEN THIS HAPPENS. I HAVE BEEN DOING A LOT OF CRYING, BUT I NEED TO CALM MYSELF AND GATHER. IT FEELS LIKE QUAZ IS PUNISHING ME. I OFFERED TO DO WHATEVER I CAN BUT THEY STILL LEFT. IT HURTS REALLY BAD AND THEN I STARTED RUNNING AS FAST AS I CAN AFTER THEM, ALMOST SUBCONSCIOUSLY. I . I THINK I LOVE THEM. AND, I THINK I HAVE FOR A LONG WHILE. BUT MAYBE THAT DOES MEAN I NEED TO BE PUNISHED BECAUSE I LOVE GABE TOO???? I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO THINK???? AM I EVIL?? OR SELFISH??? I WANT TO LOVE BOTH OF THEM AND SEE THEM BOTH HAPPY. THIS IS STILL HARD FOR ME TO DEAL WITH BECAUSE, DESPITE GABE’S BEST EFFORTS TELLING ME OTHERWISE I STILL FEEL QUITE UNWORTHY OF LOVE, AND ALL OF THIS AFFECTION MAKES ME FEEL LIKE SOMETHING IS WRONG. LIKE I’M IN AN ALTERNATE DIMENSION OR SOMETHING. HOW COULD 2 PEOPLE SO AMAZING CARE ABOUT A WEIRD FREAK LIKE ME, THIS MUCH. I THINK I NEED TO TALK TO SOMEONE ELSE ABOUT THIS BECAUSE IT IS TEARING ME UP. IT HURTS QUITE BADLY. I HOPE VERY MUCH RAMWALD CAN SLOW THEM ENOUGH FOR ME TO SEE THEM IN PERSON BEFORE LEAVING BECAUSE I DON’T THINK I CAN OR SHOULD STOP THAT. LOVING SOMEONE MEANS NOT TELLING THEM HOW TO LIVE.
BUT. I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS, AND I NEED TO GIVE THEM A PROPER GOODBYE. I DON’T KNOW WHAT THAT’LL BE YET. BUT IT’LL BE SOMETHING MAGNIFICENT. LIKE PAIGE SAID. IF YOU LOVE SOMEONE, YOU LOVE SOMEONE, AND YOU’RE THE ONLY PERSON WHO GETS TO DECIDE WHAT THAT MEANS FOR YOU. I AM SO SCARED. BUT I NEED TO KEEP MOVING. FOR LOVE.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!
