Something felt a little bit off to her.

Or rather, there was an icy feeling in the pit of her stomach, not unlike the one she'd felt before Dialga had gone on his rampage. However, this one was far less intense, which wasn't much consolation considering it resounded more clearly within her heart. But like the last time she felt this way, she probably wouldn't find out just what it was until it was already happening.

Cresselia let out a sigh as she stood in the doorway of the room she shared with Darkrai. Would there ever be peace on the Island for longer than a week? It seemed like there was always something happening to someone, and it was one of the aspects of the Island that she wasn't particularly fond of. But even so, she would still much rather be here than back in the solitude of her own island.

She quietly entered the room fully, not even bothering to turn on the light - the moonlight pouring through the windows was enough for her to see by. The room was deserted, save for the small Skitty curled up on the bed, fast asleep. A small smile formed on Cresselia's face as she reached down to pet her.

An ear twitched, and she lifted her head up.

"...sorry, Mena," she said softly, "I didn't mean to wake you."

The recently-named Mena just yawned and stretched as Cresselia climbed up onto the bed. Once the Lunar Goddess got herself situated - she didn't bother pulling the covers back - she blinked down at the sudden kitten curled up on her stomach.

"You're using me as your bed now?" she asked, stroking Mena's pink fur. "I guess that's fair, since I woke you up..." There was something immensely comforting about the warm weight on her stomach, and she continued to lay there in silence, her only movement being the gentle stroking of her fingers against the Skitty's head.

She was probably just being paranoid again. Whatever she was feeling, it would likely be gone by morning.

Wouldn't it?

Cresselia wandered around, looking in all directions for any signs of an unoccupied house. She knew there were some around; she'd heard some of the humans talking about them. The problem was, she usually had no need for a house, so she had no idea where any could've been.

Then again, this was The Island, chances were, it could spit one up whenever it felt like it.

She sighed, absently flicking a small chunk of dried mud off of her arm. Stupid Dialga. Whatever he'd done, he'd done a good job of it - one of the lesser known facts about Cresselia was that she hated being unclean. Her hair felt heavy, and she was starting to itch in places. So if she could just find a house, and get a warm bath - not cold like that puddle was - then she would be much much happier.

At least Darkrai was helping her look. Two heads were better than one, after all. He was out of her line of sight, but she knew he was still closeby, so she called out to him telepathically. Or at least she tried to; she was still under the influence of that darn heart scale so who knew if it would actually work or not.

Being a psychic-type, she is also capable of telepathy and mind-reading. She just chooses not to use it unless absolutely necessary (and when it comes to the latter, not at all - she feels that it is too invasive of others' privacy), although she does use her telepathy when speaking with humans in her Pokémon form. She is also an adept healer outside of her normal moves, and also has the power to cure nightmares and induce good dreams.

PERSONALITY
Having grown accustomed to being on her secluded island, Cresselia is rather timid around others, even going as far as running away if somebody gets too close. This mainly only applies to humans, though; she gets along fine with her fellow Pokémon - other legendaries in particular - but she doesn't find humans to be entirely trustworthy. Her issues aside, she's very sweet and gentle, preferring to help others instead of hurt them (if she is unable to help for one reason or another, she'll become very upset). She doesn't like seeing anybody hurt or unhappy, and would much rather avoid conflict if she can help it, but this isn't always possible - she doesn't anger easily, but when she does, it's generally nothing to worry about, as she isn't very good at being threatening and her attack power is rather weak. She's the type who would rather talk things through instead of resort to violence, but even she can have moments when she wants to give a Psycho Cut to the face...

Over the course of time, she's slowly started to learn how to open up to people. She's also become a lot more outgoing around those she trusts, but being around strangers is still rather taxing on her nerves. She still gets flustered extremely easily and is rather prone to embarrassment, especially when it comes to more private matters. Despite having become more extroverted, she's still very private and secretive in regards to certain aspects of her life (namely, her love live).

She strongly believes that everybody, no matter what darkness may lie in their hearts, deserves someone who cares about them. As far as Cresselia herself goes, she has opened her heart up to her own counterpart, Darkrai; her feelings for him run very deep, and she will do anything within her power to ensure that he never feels lonely or undeserving of her affections.

LIKES
Darkrai, nighttime, the moon (in all forms), sweet foods (especially cake), healing, giving everyone good dreams, being in her human form ('cause she has arms!), popping up out of nowhere, Latias, Moon Stones, flowers, shiny things, her own freedom, Giratina, bright colors, stars, dancing, being the voice of reason, things that are cute.

DISLIKES
Being chased (lookin' at u, Donovan), cloudy nights, being hit on by people who aren't Darkrai, not being intimidating, being referred to as an "it", Primal Dialga, being unclean, others meddling in her affairs, being short, people staring at her chest, loud noises, Ditto, unfamiliar places, Ho-Oh's plots, fighting, seeing others fight, cold weather, being confused, being talked into stuff she doesn't want to do, the idea of losing those that she cares for.

THOUGHTS ON OTHERS

♥ Darkrai [everyonesgarden]
I can't even begin to describe how much he means to me. ♥ I'd do anything to see him smile.
❀ Latias [refractslight]
I'm a little worried since I haven't seen her in a while... I miss her.
❀ Giratina [opalrenegade]
Between her and Darkrai, I'm not sure how I managed to become so close to two of the most feared deities. I hope they can patch things up soon...
★ Giratina's ghosts [theghostarmy]
They're cute! And surprisingly sweet, most of the time. They seem to have learned their lesson about getting too close though...
★ Palkia [pale_prism]
I wish her and Dialga the best of luck with their child!
★ Dialga [timepony]
It's hard to tell what exactly we can call each other, to be honest. At least he seems to have shaped himself up, though!
★ Alice [oracionsong]
She's quite nice! But even though it was in the past, I can't help but wonder about the extent of her relationship with Darkrai.
★ Raikou [thundersaber]
She had the same problem with people chasing her back in her home region. It's nice to know someone who can sympathize...
★ Articuno [freezingwind]
He seems nice enough. Very uptight, though; he should be a little more open-minded, I think.
☁ Arceus [multitype_king]
I have the utmost respect for him, as the god of all... but why is he so against the idea of Dialga and Palkia being together? What's so wrong about it...?
☁ Ho-Oh [rainbowbeak]
He's up to something, I just know it. But then, when is he not up to something?
☁ Darkrai aka "Shiny" [glamourshadow]
He really just confuses me. On one hand, I kind of feel sorry for him, but on the other, I wish he'd leave Darkrai alone.
☈ Ditto [pokepimp]
If that thing never came near me again, it would be far too soon.
☈ Donovan [obsidianight]
He is so determined to catch me... I-I can actually fight back now, but... I didn't think I would ever have to again!
☈ Primal Dialga [distortingtime]
I don't care if he's lost his powers, I'll never forgive him for what he did to my friends.
