Freyja, goddess of love, fertility and death. What a lovely portfolio.

Freya simply waited out the day reading as she had nowhere to be, and no connection to any branch. Still, she needed to choose one to stay here, and these people needed her. She just wandered towards the direction of this Psychic branch. They must be the most intelligent here, right? So, perhaps they knew more about the things Freya was much more interested in.

Freya, like Stephanie before her, finds a blank wall where the entrance to Psychic Branch ought to be. With no psychic potential of her own, nor a Pokemon of said type, how will she manage? Surely there must be a way.

Freya looks around, and knocks on the wall. Maybe there was some kind of door. Perhaps psychic powers?

Freya can feel...something. When she instinctively 'reaches out', there is a brief tug, a feeling of vertigo, and then a loud 'oomph!' as she lands atop...another person? Oh hey, it's that girl Stephanie from earlier.

Stephanie is triumphantly walking back with a clear 'superior to you' look on her face as she comes accross a familiar face in the hallway. She leans against a wall.
"Ah well if it isn't the preacher herself, doing menial chores while others are furthering science itself."
She holds up the Komala's ball.
"I am finally successful in obtaining my desired target. What everyone seemed to 'fail' to do the other day."

Freya is minding her own business sweeping the halls of the guild. "Ah. Hello again, Ms. Myler. These chores are not glamorous, but they do keep the guild in fine shape." She tilts her head at Steph's ball, and smiles."Oh how wonderful! I'm glad you were able to make a new friend." *sweep sweep sweep* Freya happily hums to herself.

Hrm. She’s just being ‘pleasant’ and not preachy. Odd. Time to investigate.
”Hrm interesting. Not one declaration that Xerneas’s will deemed it or something? No? Huh. Maybe you are still thrown off from the show the other morning? I mean I saw an opportunity that the whole room was eating out of your hands and...?”
She throws up her hands, still clearly confused that Freya would throw away an opportunity like that.

"Hm? Oh. Xernea's influence can be felt in many of ways, so it is entirely possible his grace shown upon you." She smiles brightly, and sweeps dust onto Steph's feet. "I don't know about 'thrown off.' I can enlighten the masses without being made a fool of." It was almost like she was producing dust to passive-aggressively dirty up Stephanie.

Stephanie sees the dust getting on her out of the corner of her eye but doesn't aknowledge it. She looks back up.
"And who said being the fool was a bad thing? They underestimate you in the moment, and you hit them with something they don't automatically tune out."
She flips through some of her notes.
"Maybe like... 'I hope you all enjoyed that. Sometimes it's good to laugh, and that's ok. I know I sit here and preach, but Xerneas is the god of life. And that means LIVING. Living well is laughing well, so please keep this, and Xerneas, in mind; especially if you needed the laughter.' "
She clears her throat.
"Or something like that."
She puts her notes away.
"Anyway, what are you still doing here doing menial chores? One would think you would have gone with Ruby on her quest for just ice or whatever I tuned out at the time."

There is a clattering sound as the broom hits the ground, and Steph's head is pressed tightly to Freya's chest in a tight hug. Freya's eyes sparkle, and her cheeks flush as she grins brightly. "Oh, Ms. Myler!! I knew you truly understood my words!!" She continued to smother Steph, and stroke her head. "You, unlike so many others, have their minds open to salvation. My intuition that you were a special one was correct! I knew you wouldn't stray from the right path!" She then lets her captive go suddenly letting her fall away. She picks up her broom, and resumes sweeping. She's in an even better mood now. "Oh! These chores can instill good values in oneself, and others. These values can help you grow as a person, and it's a good way to spend time when not working on my religious work. I recommend it sometime!...Aaaannd some respite from Ruby, bless her heart, isn't so bad. There are things I'm working towards here at the guild as well. What are your plans now that you've acquired a new friend?"

Uhhh well this is awkward. Stephanie merely waits to be 'released' before straightening herself up. She's about to correct Freya but... y'know, Freya's statements aren't technically incorrect, even if the true meaning is. And hey, if Freya's happy, clearly she'll be more willing to submit to expiriments!
"Uh yes, of course. Not straying and all that."
She adjusts her glasses.
"As for what next, honestly I had guessed that finding my Dill here would have taken longer, but I suppose I can move onto my next goal. Waking has hidden potential as a dream eater but that needs to be brought forth through some actual tutors and that requires some crowns I lack. There's also making Destiny stronger so she can create dream mist I can bottle. But what's the thing 'you' are working toward, then?"

Freya nods along as she sweeps. "Ah. Yes. Yes. You've spoken of your interests in those abilities. As for me, I'm still interested in starting up a breeding program here at the guild. Helping bring in new generations of happy, and healthy pokemon is just wonderful! New life is a precious thing, is it not? The guild could even become the beacon of conservation! What is it you hope to accomplish with those moves you talked of?" This hallway was quite clean now. Freya sat on a small bench, and patted the side next to her.

This feels like some sort of trap, but Stephanie sits down.
"Oh I hope to observe the effects of dream eater and nightmare on pokemon and humans and compare it to a psychic using the same effects. From what I know they are different, with ghost possibly being more violent in the act. But I'm wondering how much either side enjoys the taste!"

Freya tilts her head. "Oh. Dream...Eater? And Nightmare? Oh my...What do you get out of those moves? What do you obtain from knowing what a...dream tastes like?"

Stephanie tilts her head like she's confused.
"If a Mushrana tells you in your head that dreams 'do' have a taste, wouldn't anyone want to then dedicate their lives to becoming a dream chef of sorts? Only an insane person wouldn't, I would think."

Freya just kind of stares at Stephanie, and scratches her head. "Ummm...Ok. I assume that's for the pokemon, yes? Can a person eat...a dream?"

Stephanie smirks and leans back on the bench.
"There are... rumors. There are many humans around with pokemon-like moves and abilities, and ghost is no exception. However, as to being able to prey on dreams... I've not seen 'evidence' for that."
She sits back up and stares at Freya.
"What do you think your dreams taste like, Freya?"
She whips out her notepad and readies to write.
"It's a 'thought' after all, right? Maybe if you 'think' your dreams taste like something then that'll actually influence it."

Freya twirled some hair around her finger in thought. "Ooohh.....Hmmmmm....I don't have a clue...Uh...A dream...Dreams about...Xerneas! Xerneas is...a fairy! Fairies....can be...pink? What does pink taste like?....F-Frosting??" Freya can only just look at Steph like she's been asked the hardest possible question ever.

”Well you could be cotton candy I suppose, or any sort of pink fruit or berry I suppose. Although, are you sure you want to go with that thought line? I mean I know you worship Xerneas, but that can’t be ALL you think about?”
