Mew curls in on herself. I don't know. Mewtwo mentioned him and his name makes me afraid. 

"If they're from the world you came from, they can't get you here."

I know. Here seems much better, even if it's hard that we can't be go somewhere there isn't anyone if we want to.

"Most people like living here.  I'm unusual in my dislike of it."

...I want you to be somewhere you would like.

"So would I.  Perhaps once they find the lab, someone can figure out a way to use whatever they did to send people to other worlds instead of bringing them here."

That would be good. Maybe unless they can only reach the world with the zombie humans. But even there there are real forests.

They shudder at the thought of dealing with zombies.  "It might be a good idea to stop them from hurting pokemon, if we can."

Yeah. Maybe there's some way to make them not zombies anymore. If they're only bad because there's something wrong with them then if we fix the thing and they stop being bad then that would be good. I dunno though. The guy who put us in cages in the lab here wasn't a zombie I think.

"There are still a few bad people here.  Or good people who do bad things, because they don't know enough to predict the consequences, or because they have to choose between two bad options." They paw at the ground.  "It's hard to tell the difference, when everyone thinks they're doing things for good reasons.  Not having daemons can't possibly be good for them, though."

Yeah. Cages are always bad, though. I think it would be hard to be confused about that.

They nod.  "Though... will you object to the kidnappers getting arrested?  That means they'll be locked up for a day or two, waiting for the trial.  Probably not after that, though.  Sometimes if someone is very sick in a way that can hurt others, physically or mentally, they'll be held somewhere where they can get treatment until it's safe to let them back out.  But it sounds like the scientists are more the type of person who does wrong because they aren't paying attention to the hurt it causes, rather than because their brains were sick, so they'll lose a lot of money and prestige and have to get checked up on, but not get put somewhere they can't get out."

Verity and Araeneve had been forced to take several classes on the judiciary system after becoming legendaries.  Mostly it had just made them more annoyed with how things worked, but it did mean they were better at guessing what the judges would do and why.  

No, that's okay. You do what you have to do to stop people like that.

Araeneve is somewhat pensive, considering it.  Things always end up with an 'unless' or 'except when' stuck onto them, no matter how obvious they should be.  They don't want to keep talking about it, however.  They're used to people getting annoyed when they complain about things that neither side can offer solutions to, and have learned to avoid doing it.

"So, Mew... neither of us need to eat, but does Mewtwo?  We should probably make sure we have something she can eat.  My Verity can go over what we have in the kitchen."

Oh. Yes, she does. She can eat things humans eat so it's probably fine.

"That's handy." 

They need to check a clock, since their usual schedule was interrupted and it's thrown off their sense of time.  "It's still a bit early for food... is there anything else you need?  Verity and I might head out to get you a phone soon, but you don't need to come along."

What's a phone?

"A small electronic device that almost everyone has and carries around with them.  They do a bunch of useful things.  People can contact each other from anywhere in the fleet, if they share their phones' numbers with each other first.  It has internet, which is... not always great since people in a lot of parts of it use it to argue with each other, but my Verity can put in a list of places to get books or movies or news.  There are puzzle games.  Most importantly, it keeps track of your money and interfaces with machines in stores so you can buy things, once you decide to start going out."

That sounds very nice. I think we'll be okay for a while, we have each other and things are soft.

They nod.  If they aren't needed for anything else, they will be padding over the few feet to Verity and start telling her to write down a shopping list.

Mew darts back into the room with Mewtwo for snuggles. 

The room continues to be soft and comfortable.  They don't hear anything other than the omnipresent quiet sound of the ship itself.  

Verity eventually heads out.  

When they return, Mew and Mewtwo will be out in the communal area. 

They come back with a few bags of stuff.  Some is extra groceries, which get placed on one of the clear spots in the kitchen.  Mewtwo and Mew get a large bag.  On top are two phones - one sized for humanoids, the other unusually light and built for daemons with small paws.  As they don't wear clothing, they can also have a pair of lanyards with clips that can attach to phone cases.  A paper book about how to safely use phones, originally intended for children but probably just as functional in this situation.  The majority of the bag's size is a large stuffed cyndaquil doll that they bought on a whim.  The fire on the back is depicted with tufts of variegated red-and-yellow yarn.  "It's a doll," Araeneve explains, "People like to collect them and put them on their beds in addition to the pillows."

It's very soft. And it looks like a Pokemon. And it won't want to fight me. 

She hugs the doll. 

I--thank you. 

She is having SO MANY EMOTIONS right now!
