All right, so now that I've had some time to process...

[A pause, as if he's thinking about how to word this.]

Those weird weekends, right? They happen every six months, yeah?

[Orion sighs, seeming to think over how to word what he has to say]

Well... This was my first. I've heard no one has powers here normally and they come back during that weekend for a bit. Thing is, I don't really have powers at home. Not that I was aware of, at least.

So, my question is has anyone else... discovered new powers over the weekend? Doesn't have to be this one, that just passed. Any of them, while you've been here.

Anyone?

I jumped REALLY high and got hit by a bird.

But I'm pretty sure I could have done that before.

How many Pokemon did you wind up getting?

It looked like a LOT.

Hit by a bird? What kind was it?

[This kid's adventurous, he likes it.]

Oh, I got plenty. Kind of lost track after awhile. Is it normal for them to show up in droves like that on these weekends?

[Crazy stuff. He just hopes he didn't gain anyone's attention, it's not exactly trick he can repeat twice.]

[garbagechild]

A sharp one.

<sub>[Like he'd ever stop to actually look at what hit him-- he just kind of flailed and then fell three stories.]

[He nods, as officiously as he can while still seeming impressed with the feat. Because he'd never turned in that volume of Pokemon even on his best days.]</sub>

If you keep THAT up, maybe you'll get a promotion!

_{[Uh oh Orion.]}

[warnotlove]

[Touché, kid.]

I don't know about that...

[but this is now officially a Rocket Topic, so he's going to be straight forward.]

Maybe in another six months when this place starts feeling generous, again. I'd bet money that the weekend had something to do with it, I can't exactly pull that out of nowhere so I don't see it being a regular thing.

[Animal summoning would be such a cool trick, here! He doesn't think it's possible, though.]

[garbagechild]

Don't be so hard on yourself!

_{[Superiors are supposed to help increase morale! Clearly Orion needs some encouragement.]}

I bet if you work hard and believe in yourself, you'll be doing it again in no time!

[warnotlove]

[Okay, yeah sure. This is not going to end well so he's just going to go along with it. For now, at least.]

Yeah, you're right. I'll just keep at it. Maybe it'll come back to me.

[He'd actually believe that if everyone else hadn't been perfectly clear about how these weekends go and how no one has powers outside of them.]

[garbagechild]

<sub>[Sometimes that's all you can do.]

[Wrath beams, broadly. HE HELPED!]</sub>

That's the spirit!

<sub>[If they were speaking in person, he might have held his hand up for a High Five (tm) like he'd seen some of the admins doing lately in their effort to seem more "hip" and "accessible".]

[But thank Arceus they're not, so Orion is spared that particular awkwardness.]</sub>
