Hail Mary Full of Grace

I'm coming home...

He sighs, a pang of frustration in the back of his skull. It's been months. It's hard to recall a day where the man's hallucinations, vague recollections, and trauma responses haven't caused a moment.

He'd never express his exhaustion with it, of course. Wouldn't help anything. All he can do is make note of what set this one off and try to avoid it in the future.

So... what. Dumplings are out. That sucks, it's one of the best meals he's had on the Mary in weeks. No more dumplings.

...Are soups fine, or only solids? He'd already learned that rice cakes and granola bars were a hard no, too. And anything with visible meat. Dairy's hit-or-miss.

"Well, he shouldn't be."

And then he actually processes that, and his head drops. A frustrated groan.

He freezes. His blood runs cold, then boiling hot. A heavy sigh. Hands running down his face.

"...Right. Well. That... makes sense. It's the whole internet, so..."

He gestures.

What are Grace and Rocky's battle lines as gym leaders? (Like their signature line that happens right before the battle.)

//Rocky says something along the lines of 'Let's make this quick, I've got work.' Because you find him in what basically amounts to a commercial garage tinkering on different machines and tools. His gym puzzle is just figuring out how to get to him around his haphazard piles of equipment. Floor's clean, though! So there's that! I imagine there are a few rotom, magnemite, and klang encounters in the piles, too.

His eyes snap open, and instead of sterile white or dim concrete, there's a technicolor dream carnival. He's, somehow, wearing heelies, and falls on his ass immediately.

His reaction is-... interesting, at least. Instead of trying to take off a headset or asking for help from the people around him, he just starts screaming. Terror-screams, gut-screams that crack his voice into shards and then into dust.

When he runs out of voice, he starts crying.

We're doing a paper in class about the future of humanity and I wanted to write about space travel and our development into space. So I wanted to ask what you thought! Would Earth and Erid have an exchange program in the future where we visit each other's planets? Work together to solve issues with long-term space travel? Could I become best friends with an eridnite.

Sincerely

A student

Student mean human pebble, question?

Rocky explain. Erid estimate 16.3 Earth light years from Sol. Moving close to light slow down experience by half. Still 8 years.

Grace said humans reach maturity 20 years after hatch. Travel is almost half. Student might not be student anymore by time reach Erid.

Many question from pebbles on same topic. Many want blob friend.

Theory developing on half-point station? 4 year travel, less bad. Still bad. Less bad.

Grace and Rocky are now gym leaders in the Pokemon Universe. What teams do you give them?

//Easy.

Grace:

Wishiwashi, Politoed, Starmie, and Wiglett.

He's a mid-early game water type gym leader. As a reference to the denmark incident. I just think it'd be funny. Guy who devotes himself to water in one way or another in every life. When you re-encounter him in late-game he has 2 rock types and replaced his wiglett with a thievul.

Rocky:

Skarmory, Klinklang, Metagross.

He thinks for a moment, though he has very little context for cultural differences outside of Grace and whatever movies he's been shown so far. A little tap of his claws against the xenonite strings in the cockpit. The Blip-A twitches just a hair aft.

"...Okay. Here's one. Human dens and shelters all stay focused on the floor. All furniture is on the floor, all utilities are on the floor. To get to another layer of the den, you have to use ladders. We have those too, but they're more..."

A vague gesture.

"Don't have good word, but they look better. On erid, all dens and shelters are climbable. Bedrooms on the bottom by the floor, so no risk if you let go while asleep. Food at the top, to protect from predators. All others in a wide circle around the room. Eating rooms are usually underground. Not meant for permanent residence, but dense rock keeps the sound from traveling to other levels. I described it to grace once! He says that he drew it. I think this just looks like lines. Maybe it makes more sense to you."
