And so the first challenge is done, and an unlikely individual is eliminated. Thoughts are shared. What else is there to say? ^^

Same issue here as it has with the Pilot confessional. So...here's the next confessional in the same manner. At least until this issue is resolved somehow.

---

A very pleased Latias is setting up her camera, humming a small tune happily as she creates a stand and turns on the camera. Once she is ready, she moves back and turns it on. Perhaps her cheerfulness is to try mask over the pain of losing Volsar in the first challenge, which is very likely since it was stressful for many…herself included. As to what is distracting her from it, that is left to be determined.

“Alright, let’s get this wrapped up as soon as possible.” The Eon says with a playful smile, the kind that makes the sorrow beyond.
“First thing I want to say is that Brandon keeps staying close to me. Well, that is…until he ended up on an opposing team. I wish him all the best at reaching the point when the teams merge together. Same for Sparky, James, Matthew and the others that aren’t on my team. In fact, I wish all the best for everyone who is participating.” The Latias purrs and then continues.

“Sure, I’m disappointed that Sparky and other friends aren’t on my team, but you can’t have everything. I just hope they can stay under the radar of notice and make it through to the merge. Then I can be with them more…even if that is the point when it becomes a free-for-all in the competition.” Sil motions a paw and then seems to have a more blank-like expression.

“My main concern involves Galen. After what she did in the finale and in the first season, I feel that her personality and methods will, at times, cause minor clashes in the group. Though unlikely to really be an issue, because if she causes problems…she knows that it would be likely she ends up voted out. Afterall…” her ears flatten. “…That’s what happened to Volsar. He cost us the challenge and then Wolf-9 conspired to have him eliminated. I can’t say I condone the Abra’s actions before he disappeared into me. I think him kicking Josh and such was rather uncalled for. I plan to talk with him while he is still inside me. About a few things…”

Without skipping a beat, the Crystalline Latias moves to a different topic entirely.
“That whole punishment thing…yeah, it’s not going to happen. I read my contract very thoroughly. And I agreed to remain in the contest no matter what and to play the challenges. I have no disrespect for those who are doing their jobs, but there is nothing in my contract that stated I had to submit to any abuse outside of the challenges.”

The legendary Pokemon stretches a little and her wings move slightly as she moves to a new subject to talk about.
“So…that large crystal. I know we aren’t to mess with it, and I didn’t. But inside the virtual world, we were allowed to do whatever we are capable of. The virtual world is maintained by the crystal. So I ended up accidentally, well…I kind of made contact with it. More or less. In the process I have made it impossible to be tampered with. So at least the crystal itself is safe. Nobody can tamper with it now…well, except me. But I wouldn’t dare. There’s a kind of intelligence inside that thing…I don’t know if it is sentient or more like an artificial intelligence. But whatever it was, it didn’t reject my contact. Nor reject my offer to protect it. Guess having a powerful affinity to crystals comes in handy.”

The Eon shakes her head. “Speaking of the virtual reality…I am glad that I didn’t actually ‘smell’ anything. I am sick of the gas and it is just disgusting. Am I the only one who doesn’t find bodily functions as amusing or appealing? I’m glad I have a barrier that negates certain things and stenches. And regarding the challenge…what is there to say? I could have dragged the whole team to the end with a special ability…but I am not forceful. Besides…I doubt Volsar would have gone along with it unless I ordered him to come along. Maybe if I had of, he’d still be here…”

Falling silent, the Latias closes her eyes and seems to be reflecting on the recent events. She opens her eyes partially and lets out a small sigh.
“Well some good did come from all that has happened. I went to meet with Lucas, though I was expecting him to still have that grudge with me. Though I ended up quite surprised, because it started with a truce…and now it’s heading in a direction of friendship. It is so nice to see it finally coming to an end. This means that his presence here is no longer a concern to me, since it was a bit worrisome and slightly stressful. And now he will be able to focus on doing other stuff without an anger aimed at me. We will both focus better and get further in this thing now. I hope he can make it to the merge…then he and I would get more time to talk.”

The psydragon yawns softly and then shakes her head, floating up into the air and it would be seen that a Meowth’s tail is poking out of her rear a little bit. She eeps and giggles, pulling it inside right away.
“Okay, so I stuffed Josh inside. I am keeping him and Volsar apart, though. I moved Volsar in deeper, though I may have to consider merging the Abra into my body and keep his consciousness stored within. This would be after others in the team say a final goodbye to him. Because if people don’t stop staring at my rear because of that being where he is located, I won’t keep him in there physically. Well…that is, providing Volsar doesn’t mind. I may be his mistress, but I do care about him and give him freedom of choice. I’m not cruel or harsh to my pets, I like them to feel more free and unrestrained…except when I want cuddles and stuff. But they tend to give that freely all the time without me asking. Anyway, I’m going to go sleep…today has been rough. Mentally and emotionally…” she turns off the camera and leaves, taking it along with her as she heads for bed.
