#ooc ..

Ookay here we go

ZA stuff

- Post weapon failure Malva is going through so many emotions all at once or none at all. Her involvement still managed to remain a secret so no one quite knew why she was suddenly so shut down or hostile at any given moment. Maybe she was feeling bad for Kalos or something?

- But fresh rumors about her involvement with Flare are starting to float around soon after the weapon. There always has been rumors surrounding that matter but they’re getting really loud this time.

- Not to mention Looker has actual blackmail on her playing double agent. Sure he promised if she helped the case leading to Xerosic’s arrest it won’t be revealed to anyone, but is she really gonna trust him?

- Extreme paranoia coupled with grief she’s not handling well makes her go ✌️bye bye. Basically disappears off the face of Kalos for five years. No note or anything.

Five years later: oh hey she’s back—

- Her return isn’t too terrible a surprise if you kept up with her ever popular socials. Malva is basically some super popular influencer now. She still has a knack for media and used that “quiet time” to kick off her e-celebrity era hell yeah.

- Its rage bait content btw. And some variety blog stuff aimed at adults. But the rage bait gets reeeaal good engagement. People get hooked to a good drama after all. At this point she uses all those silly rumors to her advantage. Makes greeeaaat content. At this point even if the truth is confirmed people have basically accepted it. They love to hate her.

- Heck she’s probably been to every other interview or appearance by now. She’s back where she loves to be, spotlight!

- Aaand she’s still E4. Technically everyone else is N/A or on hiatus and nothing was confirmed or denied on her position so she’s all Kalos has at the moment. And boy does she begrudgingly have the work cut out for her. I GUESS she did learn to be a better person by reflecting on her grief and she wants to better Kalos for real this time. Occasionally.

(“What the hell I step out of Lumiose for two seconds and it’s gone to shit-!!!”)

- Don’t bring up Lysandre.

- Oh yeah she’s a mother to a toddler. His name is Austyn and he looks strangely familiar 🤔 but Malva is tight lipped on who his father is (keep ya hooked to her instagranbull stories. Who knows? Maybe on part 56 she’ll finally give a hint!). Malva prefers to keep him out of her socials but you’ll spot him occasionally on a post or a mention on an interview. He’s four years old and he likes poke-Bluey 👍

Wanting to love and be loved without doing extra or putting out translates to:

Somewhere in the middle? Like the process of before the whole ending arc of Lysandre revealing the whole super weapon. I imagine actually creating the super weapon would take years of development while playing the game makes it look a lot shorter.

Course it's not...?? Strict on that sense? Like there'll be nods and nuances to events happening that are post canon or are going to happen post X/Y but I feel like that's the Pokemon RPC in general with timelines where it's very flexible for rp convenience.
