— LUSAMINE

// i actually have a reze that ive yet to use. @bombheart.bsky.social

Fascinating. Funny how that turned out. I'm older, yet look younger. I suppose that's due to skin cream.

I'm near 40, dear. Much too old for you.

Yyyep. We're extinct.

What about you? I don't mean to be rude and ask your age, but... I'm curious.

Ah. Yes. It's always best to keep who you're flirting with around your age. A year or two difference max, but mainly a year.

I know from learning. But, I realized, being 40, there's no one your age.

I would find love if I could.

What a disappointment...

Well, by yourself would be practice.

I meant as in age. I'm near 40. There's no one really my age I have interest in.

I'm too old to flirt, sadly.

Mm. I can live with that. Although, you really shouldn't.

Yes. Creatures from- other dimensions.

Ah. That is good.

I study them. The wormholes. They hold such... fascinating creatures.

Ah, something from an old file. Person like you goes mysteriously missing, the Aether Foundation looks into it.

Ultra Wormholes and such...

Both. But mainly the mythology. Seeing the cultures of the world is so interesting.

...

[ Squinting for a moment. ]

You do look quite familiar.

Mm. I have been considering going to Sinnoh for a study. Arceus and all that interest me greatly.

// and the protag is just stuck

// i love that its basically confirmed that ingo made it back home after legends arceus and is in the battle station with emmet again in z-a.

// cant do ships on this acc sadly because she's like 40. shes so old

Ultra Space... hmph.

Well. It's best to move past it, I suppose. A distant memory can be buried.

- never been myself. Alola is currently my home. I prefer the sunny beaches to anywhere else.

Ahh. You may simply refer to me as Lusamine, if you'd like.

The "President" thing is really just a formality. Go to enough events where that's what you're referred as, it becomes a habit to...

Well. Like you saw. Introduce formally.

Unova, was it? I had heard of it once- yet, I'd -

[ Look of "Oh". ]

...

I. Think we should start over.

// 😌

No, no. It is an entertaining. I like to hear other sides.

... AH. I haven't even introduced myself, and I'm already rambling on about Pokémon classification theories...

My name is Lusamine. Current President of the Aether Foundation. A pleasure.

[ Holding her hand out. ]

// LMAOO

... hm.

[ A judgemental stare. Does she know? Hm.]

// i was thinking of this image too oh god

@aetherfounder.bsky.social

Yes.

Precisely! It's such a marvel, how Pokémon are s-

...

Have we met somewhere?

Oh. My apologies.

[ She steps back, bowing once. ]

I have such fascination with the Ultra Beast you seem... attuned to, is all. Are you hungry at all? Oh, darling, are you hurt? I'll get you anything.

[ A soft smile. Why was she being like this Lusamine you barely know him ]
