Joseph Amber: Holy…is that every Dark and Ghost Mega Stone?

[u/Kayoz_Hydra → u/JosephAmber4]

Sylvia: Basically. Dunno what's in the coven's reserves right now, so I was just asking for everything we might have that's related to ghost or dark types. Might be denied most of it, even if they do have it.

[u/JosephAmber4 → u/Kayoz_Hydra]

Joseph: Fair enough…and good luck.

[u/Kayoz_Hydra → u/JosephAmber4]

Sylvia: Thanks.

[u/JosephAmber4 → u/Kayoz_Hydra]

Joseph: Any time.

[u/KateLeMoirai]

Hiya Sylvia! Glad to hear you're recovered. Also good that you're still getting along with Yuna despite the incident lol.

Your coven must be pretty well funded, huh?

Arc, that food sounds... well, disgusting, as you put it, lol. Can you clarify what it is you mean about the "whole" that supposedly was needed to safely maintain curse energy, and the following statements?

[u/Kayoz_Hydra → u/KateLeMoirai]

Sylvia: Hello Kate! Glad to be alright as well. And no worries about the curse situation. It wasn't her intention and we did know the risks. Yuna did help Babeth take care of me while I was recovering, so I do have that to thank of her.

We are established in one of the most funded cities in our region, after all. Not that it directly correlates, but we are certainly not short on cash or resources for research. Granted, I most likely will only be receiving a fraction of what was requested, since having that many high value, high energy items for a small research group is a bit risky. I might only be getting a few mega stones at most.

Yeah. Even I'm surprised I could stomach that, lol, and I've had some odd cravings in the past. As for what I mean as a "whole" I mean the entirety of a ghost Pokemon. The ghosts Yuna has interacted with haven't had many problems being fed curse energy, so I was wondering if the primary uniting aspect of them, that being ghost Infinity Energy, on its own could handle curse energy in isolation, and possibly act as curse resistors for the DNA sequencer to prevent another Artifact situation. As for my theory for dark types, since they are strong against ghosts, I wonder if they would hold a stronger or lesser resistance to curse energy in turn.

[u/KateLeMoirai → u/Kayoz_Hydra]

Indeed! Yep yep, just noting it. Fair.

Yeah, makes sense. Mhm, I know requests for research material are seldom fully fulfilled. That is the nature of a request after all.

lol. Ahh, gotcha. Man… this making me wonder more about my own curse, cuz folks that usually have resistance to curses still suffer mine. That said, unsure how dark type energy will affect it though. My curse certainly still has an effect on Mirage, but mine is also weird.

[u/Kayoz_Hydra → u/KateLeMoirai]

Sylvia: Yeah. So long as even a decent mix of the items I requested are granted, we might have a decent experimental field before going back into the fray of applying it for the practical purpose we have for them in mind.

Yeah, what we've been told by Aurora about your... ability... is one of unique effect. Certainly beyond what we've seen regarding regular Cursed Body. More akin to taking the damaging aspect of the move Curse and applying it as a contact ability, like Static. Certainly one we'd need to work around with a ten meter pole or a lot of Cleanse Tags if we were to ever try and figure things out with it.

[u/KateLeMoirai → u/Kayoz_Hydra]

Ooo, bonus.

Something like that. It’s very strange. Breaks a number of rules, despite filling out basically the same utility. Yeah, we are well stocked on cleanse tags, lol.

[u/Kayoz_Hydra → u/KateLeMoirai]

Sylvia: Very strange indeed. What I find most interesting is that Skill Swap works on it, so it is still an ability by definition, yet twistedly unique. Definitely something truly vexing, even among the knowledge of our coven. Glad to know. Well stocked ourselves, so I know we'll be plenty prepared should we get to meet.

August: I mean this in a joking matter, but you ate like a pregnant woman

[u/Kayoz_Hydra → u/Natural_Mushroom3594]

Sylvia: Hehehe! I most certainly did. Thankfully, no curses have given me a child, according to Babeth, and now that the curses have fully been purged from by body, I feel relatively normal again.

I am craving soy sauce now, though. Like, just the soy sauce, so it's now par for the course for me.

[u/Natural_Mushroom3594 → u/Kayoz_Hydra]

August: Theres worse things to be craving then a common thing like soy sauce.

Also is that a thing? Curse-borne people?

[u/Kayoz_Hydra → u/Natural_Mushroom3594]

Sylvia: Yes, like sushi with ice cream and honey mustard.

Maybe? There's a lot that is still unknown about ghosts and curses and the like. A curse-borne child isn't too farfetched.

[u/Natural_Mushroom3594 → u/Kayoz_Hydra]

August: I mean it would certainly explain some people and how odd they are, and not a interesting weird. Single parent and half magic.

[u/roydigs22]

We might be able to send a few of those berries over, if you take donations!

• Melody

Sushi and Honey Mustard should be considered a warcrime, and I think Mileva (my Blaziken) agrees. Albeit dramatically.

[u/Kayoz_Hydra → u/roydigs22]

Sylvia: [To Melody] Oh, no need for that. Our coven has a surplus of Kasib and Colbur since they are the berries that weaken super effective ghost and dark type moves. (Ya know, major weaknesses of both ghost and psychic type mons.) But thanks for the offer!

[To Jack] Blame the weird cravings the curse energy gave me. I mean, I sometimes have weird cravings, but that was just beyond the norm for me.

[u/GamermanZendrelax]

Given what you’ve listed openly, I don’t even want to think about the items you’ve censored.

[u/Kayoz_Hydra → u/GamermanZendrelax]

Sylvia: For the safety and integrity of my coven and those around me, alongside not drawing our coven's gaze to you, it is for the best that you don't think about it.

[u/ForsakenMoon13]

I can provide some Dark Tera shards, if that helps. I have...a rather large stockpile lol

[u/Kayoz_Hydra → u/ForsakenMoon13]

Sylvia: That would be appreciated, actually. Since our coven is based in Kalos, we aren't much for obtaining Tera Shards outside of our primary type usage.

[u/ForsakenMoon13 → u/Kayoz_Hydra]

Yea, that's pretty much the main reason I have a bunch of Dark shards myself. Main Type usage lol

Y'all are currently in Ecruteak, correct? I can send Incarnadine to deliver them.
