((Eh, wherever they teleported back to, Pluto would like to get a few words in.)) The Leafeon stood there rigidly in shock, staring at his brother. The implications of what Jupiter had just revealed...the truth of his grief for the last five years... Pluto looked over to Selena seconds before they vanished in a teleport. When they reappeared, the Leafeon staggered, having lost his balance. He caught himself, his pride not allowing him to fall in front of so many. His eyes were closed, and as Nova ran over to his side to check on him, she could tell that he was running through breathing exercises, ones designed to calm him down and slow his heart rate. He finally opened his eyes, waving Nova away as he approached Selena. "Child, if only you had stopped to think. I could have...I would have ensured a thorough investigation. We could have uncovered the truth. Pluto whispered, his voice raspy and raw. "When you ran, you implicated yourself much more than any incriminating evidence."The Leafeon massaged his forehead with a paw, as if he was suffering from a painful headache. Selena had been recently evolved then, so perhaps the instincts of an eevee to run was still with her, but still... "I believe you owe me a full explanation Selena." Pluto whispered, turning to head towards the West Wing, his destination the bright room with a large window he had taken as his own for his stay. He gestured with a paw for her to follow. "...and this does not excuse your actions since becoming Guild Master of the Moon Guild. I would still see that you atone for the many lives you have taken or destroyed."

  Minerva & ThanatosMinerva nodded and followed along side her husband. Anything she needed to say could be said in private. Selena's plight hardly required the observation of the entire guild. Thanatos continued following Pluto.   Tolin & Albus He hadn't expected Selena to be innocent. Her nature never seemed quite as vile as the tales of yore said it was, but it was strange to find her vindicated of her crimes. At least, it would certainly tell of a new era for the guild, wouldn't it? The information regarding Flavio's father was hardly a surprise. It would've been too simple to still have it buried, after all. Psychic visions tended to entail only the most needlessly complicated results. The words spoken by his family rang throughout Albus's head. It had been an accident? It had being nothing but some arbitrary mistake...? This was a cruel joke. It had to be. Seeing Selena put to death for the miserable rut she'd put his family in had been an extreme part of Albus's life. What was left, if not that?

Alfred
There were no words to describe the level of anger that Alfred had just reached. He was usually so calm in situations where others would lose their heads, but Solaris had pushed him over the edge.
The Gardevoir paced for a moment until turning sharply with a barely audible 'to hell with it' and moving to the side wall where a small cabinet rested between two bookshelves.
Flinging it open, he resurface from it's depths only after relieving it of several bottled contents.
Psychics generally did not drink, as alcohol did something to alter their energy and cause all sorts of horrible halucinations and prophecies of death and destruction, but hell...
Alfred saw plenty of that as is and perhaps a trip out of reality would offer some peace as opposed to remaining sober and fully aware of just how frustrated he was.
With no ceremony he knocked back two of the bottles before just as quickly completely losing it.
Alfred had never had a single alcoholic drink in his life and there was probably a reason for that...
In seconds the Gardevoir was reduced to a giggling lump on the couch.
Well, hey...it beat dealing with Solaris.

 Serrin & Tolin" I didn't wish to assume. Teleportation is unusual for Lucario; I had thought you might have brought a guild member who could." Of course, half way through the sentence, Tolin found himself inside of the lookout. The sleepy Bulbasaur was still strapped to his abdomen with a great look of contention on his face.

Alfred---Sasha
"I am one of Arceus Elite. I know far more than my species generally should because I-"
The sound of glass shattering cut her off and she turned to glare at the large double doors before her.
The Lucario made no motion to go near them or even open them for Tolin. The second he decided to come was the equivalent of 'Dont worry, I can handle this myself' to her.
"Never would have had this problem with Archer. The kid is a mess." She muttered before turning to stand off to the side and lean with her back against the wall.
A paw raised to point at the door as though saying 'good luck', but it swung open to reveal she knew plenty of Psychic tricks.
The room was scattered with fallen bookshelves and broken glass strew across the floor. Occasionally a book would go flying across the room but did no more damage than to just strike the opposing wall and fall to the ground.
Alfred made no motion as though noticing the doors snapping open and continued to sit up on the couch with legs folded indian style and his hands over his face, muttering a series of what sounded like utter nonsense with numbers and random names.

Serrin & Tolin Tolin closed the door behind him after entering. It was obvious that Sasha and Alfred knew each other on a professional level... at best. The waterskin came off along with the bag. The Bulbasaur was left to rest beside them a far ways away from the angry Gardevoir. He sat down beside Alfred, mimicking his folded legs. After that, he merely stared forwards, waiting for the psychic type to take notice and speak on his own accord.

Alfred---Sasha
Sasha paused at the closed door, her sensitive ears flicked up when a specific name reached them.
Well s**t, that complicate things.
Realizing that she was no longer needed and this new problem had come up, the Lucario turned to make her exit.
Chances are she'd be too late to do anything.
With his Psychic so disoriented and spiraling out of control, Alfred was completely blind to his surroundings and only the faintest sound of the Scyther sitting alerted him that anyone was in the room.
Of course, since he didnt know who it was this was cause for panic.
His head snapped up, the blindfold around his head had fallen to lay around his neck and both sightless black eyes were open wide.
"What? Whose-I...didnt...stupid...sorry, sorry, it wasnt...wasnt MY FAULT!" He flung out an arm and a bookshelf suddenly shattered apart.

Serrin & Tolin " It's only me, Alfred. It's Tolin." Tolin's mind snapped over to splinters of wood and paper that were exploding outwards from the smashed shelf. An excessive (and taxing) wall of Psychic managed to, at the very least, keep anything from impaling the Gardevoir. They had such skinny, fragile builds that he wouldn't be surprised if a paper cut could be fatal.

Alfred
Tolin? Tolin? Who the hell was Tolin? It took the Gardevoir far longer than needed to dredge the name and memory associated with it up from his muddled thoughts.
Rather than relief that someone with the good sense Arceus gave them was here, his emotions quickly turned inward to annoyance and then anger before expanding out.
He stood, slamming a fist back onto the couch.
"I dont need....any...philososp-philosph-ANY OF YOUR ADVICE!"
Actually, that was probably untrue. Most the things a intoxicated Pokemon said were untrue.
Except for Psychics and their prophecies of doom.
"I cant do thi-thiss s-s-s-tupid job!"
What was he thinking? What was ARCEUS THINKING?
Alfred raised that first again and struck the small panel just next to the couch and just as quickly the wall where a bookshelf previously stood, for he'd pretty much destroyed them all, split down the middle and opened like a door to reveal panels with drawers like that of file cabinet.
The Gardevoir was unaware of the discovery, but his split second glance in the direction of the sound was enough evidence that it's existence had momentarily surprised him.

Serrin & Tolin " I'm not here to give you advice, Alfred. I thought you would like someone to talk to." He wasn't terribly fond of the way the Gardevoir was acting. It was downright childish, bordering on a tantrum. There were quite a few things on his mind, but he kept those thoughts muted and tucked away. The drawers, of course, surprised Tolin. But as interesting as they were or could prove to be, they were neither his business or his concern. Perhaps he would peruse them later, but for now there was a more pressing task to be dealt with.

Alfred
The Gardevoir's rage seemed to dwindle and he slumped back down onto the couch with a dejected expression.
It was fortunate he had stopped immediately after two bottles or his sense of reasoning would have been just as lacking as common sense was right now.
Raising a hand to cover his eyes, a habit he had picked up shortly after losing his vision, he tried to force his Psychic into tracing the room so he could see but all that resulted was another wave of nausea and irritation.
"...I'm not sure...wh..." He bit his lip, trying to collect his words before he started chattering on incoherently.
"...what to do..."
Poor Pluto! He had to deal with that insanity every day!
Since words werent working at the moment he switched to telepathy, which mad him perfectly audible.
Alcohol couldnt make your mind slur as badly as your mouth.
'I'm not sure what came over me either...I apologize, but...how did you get here?'

Serrin & Tolin Tolin chose his words carefully, trying his best to keep his speech steady to avoid the appearance of caution. Of course, with years of practice, the pause was barely present. " I was concerned earlier after what had happened. When one of your guild members came knocking on my door, I came immediately." There were lots of questions to ask and be asked, but that could wait until Alfred was sober. And capable of remembering whatever was sorted out. And coherent and logical. You know, all those things being drunk prevents. For now, it would be simple questions and simple answers. Just enough to get him calm and nothing more or less.

Alfred---Sasha
The Gardevoir's lips twitched, he was on the verge of another freak out if only because he disliked having others worry over him and drunken guilt trips were rather overexaggerated.
This was avoided rather quickly by Sasha, who appeared again with a large bucket over her head directly behind the Gardevoir.
She gave him no warning, nor bothered to warn Tolin to move, before dumping the contents over his head.
Alfred jumped up with a startled yelp at the freezing cold water, the sudden chill sharpened his intoxicated mind long enough to sputter out a few insults and notice that the room was a wreck before his Psychic expanded outward and a sharp realization hit him before Sasha even had time speak the same words...
"Diablo Ortez is dead."
"Orders? Sometime today, Bacchus."
Pushing his blindfold back over his eyes the Gardevoir turned to her.
"Take a team, We need a thorough investigation of the Guild of the Morning Star. They have security cameras there, I want to know who did it..."
From there plans for Diablo's successor had to be made. If he had any relatives they were first in line, until then Saito would be in charge and...heh...
The shock of the cold water wore of just as quickly as it came and Alfred gave a oddly girlish giggle before collapsing back on the couch, out like a light.
Sasha rolled her eyes.

Serrin & Tolin Diablo was dead? This was... troubling, to say the least. Alfred being passed out was problematic as well. Ah well, there was still things to be done. He promptly walked over to Serrin and extracted a mug from the bag. Pouring the water into it, he woke Serrin up with a light poke and proceeded to speak indistinguishably to him. A slight puff from the bulb shot out onto Tolin's scythe, which he promptly stuck into the mug. He placed it on the piece of furniture standing nearest to Alfred. " If you want Alfred useful tomorrow, have him drink this in the morning. Also, might I ask for a teleport back? I understand the urgency of the situation at hand, but Pluto needs to be informed."

Sasha gave a nod, far too worried over this new development to add a snippy comment to any of her dialogue.
"Right, I'll take you back then I have to hurry to the Guild of the Morning Star..."
The Lucario sighed once before placing a hand on the Scyther's shoulder and teleporting out.
