“As a matter of fact it was! I think... I’ll have to double check- Oh ok, good luck!”

"Certainly not. Unless you count my clone, I suppose... but it would have to be very recent." Melissa peers at Nori. "Did she mention what sort of operation, or why you underwent? Not that I need an excuse, but most people are skittish about surgery."

Nori shakes his head. "Apparently it was a few years ago. I have no idea what it was, but I'm guessing it was something to do with why I'm just not as sick in this timeline."
He frowns. "But I was never bad enough off to really need something that drastic... something must've gone really wrong in this timeline." Nori traces an imaginary line backward in the air with his finger. "If there's a single point of divergence it has to be pretty far back, 'cause Patrat Day has a different name, and if it's the holiday that's different and not just the movie... I don't know how old the holiday is but I'm pretty sure it's fairly old. You don't get nonsense like 'if the Patrat sees its shadow there's six more weeks of winter' unless it's real folklore, right?"

"I see...Int hat case I'll have to become more than a stranger! It's a bit sad that you don't remember me, but once again, allow me to introduce myself! My name is Yue Ravenbrandt! I come from Johto, I'm 16 years, and my favorite food are cinnamon rolls! It's nice to meet you!" Yue says, extending her hand for a handshake.

"Hmm." Stella hummed. So if this Nori's body had been operated on, maybe it'd have some scars or something? She moved her head up and down and to the sides trying to look at him from more angles, seeing if she could spot anything. Knowing Science Lady there might even be something large and blinking somewhere. Oh! Wonder if Science Lady had some changes too? The version she knew didn't seem like the kind one could (legally) get to operate on children. The orange-haired girl swapped her attention to Melissa and resumed her scan pattern. Hmm. Was she different?

She seems to calm down a bit and shakes Yue’s hand. Before she can say anything, an aide comes up to Yue.
“Excuse me Miss? We seem to have some sort of issue with your trainer ID, as well as your sisters? I don’t know if it’s the last name or something but we couldn’t find you in the database? I’m sure it’s just an error, and the Professor agreed with me and was happy enough to manually put you both through. I’d contact your local government though and note them of the error.”
She hands Yue a pair of IDs, hers and Nue’s, and walks off.

"Huh...That was weird. The government is usually more on top of things. Anyways, were you about to say something, Mara?" Yue says, not thinking much of the error.

“Um-! I wasn’t saying anything... I’m just still confused as to how you seem to know me...”
She pulls her hood back exposing her pink hued skin and hair, although she still looks like a deerling in headlights and could run off any moment.

"Well...It's a looong story, and one that I don't even fully understand myself. I just know I met you before and I like you, so I'm going to keep liking you and try to get to know you better!" Yue says simply.

"I wouldn't waste too much time speculating on a point of divergence. There may not be a single origin point; as much as speculative fiction likes the idea, it operates on a peculiar set of assumptions wherein the universe is mostly deterministic but occasionally not." Melissa shakes her head. "No, the real question is, where do we go from here? We could travel to Pewter and see if the anomaly is replicable. Or we could retrace our footsteps, see if anyone else remembers us - the guardian of the forest, for instance, or Viridian's Gym Leader."

Now calm, she seems to blush at the comment.
"Ummm ok, thanks Yue..."
She brushes a lick of hair back.
"Are you here to join the league?"

Gwen finally pipes in after decompressing from her eggs-perience. She keeps the beby(Now dubbed B.B. as in Baby's Breath) close to her chest, and massages the rat's cheeks as it naps. "Hm. That doesn't sound too bad. What Melissa said. We check on everything we've seen, and get back to Pewter. Also, checking on our gym progress. I'm hoping our progress didn't get erased or somethin'."

"We still have our badge. Well, half-badge. I suppose if they keep some sort of official record we won't be on it... They'd probably assume what's-her-name gave them to us, rather than the Leader." Melissa scowls at the memory. "Well, worst-case scenario we have to redo a single gym. I wouldn't mind having a proper fight this time."

The sky outside seems to dark a bit, and a light shower starts outside. An aide scratches her head, it was supposed to be clear all day. But it seems it'll let up soon at least.

Stella looks up when the rain starts. Hmm. Odd. Ah well!
"Forest Lady?" she suggests out of Melissa's options. The obelisk had probably been a bigger event then just a few ordinary gym challenges. Plus surely a magical plant woman knew a thing or two about oddness!

Nori taps his chin thoughtfully. "Yeah, even with Stella and me having seen her twice, I feel like Amanda's less likely to remember us than Serena. Amanda might not remember us that well even in our own timeline, not like she doesn't see a bunch of beginning trainers all the time." He doesn't have a solution to the badge thing, really. Being thought of as having skipped getting the badge - especially after having gone back for a rematch - grates on him, but he's not sure how to deal with it. Hi, we beat you for the first half of the badge already but it was in an alternate timeline so you might not remember it.
He sighs and pushes back from the table. "I should go see if Alexa's done writing things down yet, I guess. Or if she's gotten overwritten or something." Which is a depressing thought, because he likes Alexa and would rather not have to deal with her not remembering him.
He wanders over to the window and glances through. If she's still outside, he'll knock on it quietly. "Hey, Alexa? You okay out there?"

A thumb comes up. She's under an awning so she's still dry, and she seems to be making good progress.
"Yeah I'm good! I was also sure to write down you still lost our bet, so I won't forget that!"
She laughs and goes back to writing. Least she sees some light to this.

"*Nod*" Stella looks out the window again at the rain. She liked rain, it was nice and fell from heaven, but she didn't want to be in it. Should they hurry out to the forest lady as soon as possible? Just in case she started to forget! But ... Maybe they needed to register (again?) or something first? She turned back to the table and looked around, wondering if anyone else had similar thoughts.

"Yup! I guess that makes us friends and rivals! Frivals? Riends?" Yue says.

Nori chuckles ruefully. "So you mean I'm still paying for the movie, huh? Darn."
He nods toward the door. "You want to come back inside? Stick around out there I think you're just gonna get wet. I can introduce you to everybody if you want... if Yue hasn't wandered off again by then, I guess."
