Hope gazed upon her fellow avatars, assuming much too quickly they'd be willing to follow her straight in to the maw. She'd stick her nose in to the air for a moment and let the various aromas enter her lungs, with eyes closed. When the others began to speak, that's when a single eye opened to observe them. First among them, a girl spoke out her opinions, and alike the others who would follow, the general assumption was that this world didn't need saving. She mentioned something about getting hot, and punching things.
"My dear, it's only natural to flaunt how hot you are! But that won't cure the disaster that has befallen us! Why-" Now, before Hope could say another word, her psychic powers caught on to the general aura festering about the air. She couldn't perfectly read a mind, and she needn't do so, the other avatars were about to get vocal. The vibe she felt instantly ripped the grin from her face.
Vuduin, that adorable dark and mysterious young lad spoke next, though he was the primary target of Hope's own flaunting, she'd be distracted from his denial of greatness. Though she was ready to speak, and attempt to persuade him otherwise, the outbursts of Giratina and Xerneas's avatars were far too effective at drawing out Hope's nastier side. They scolded her, when all she did was come bearing news! Firstly, she'd answer the ghost's retort.
"How insolent... you think Arceus saved you simply so that you could live a new life alongside humans, so you could frolic about in the fields whimsically? Luckily for you, he indeed did give me the insight needed to educate the likes of you! Something, in his omnipotence, he was somehow unable to rid you of such ignorance." Hope's tongue proved sharp when need be. She fought venomous words with equal ridicule.
Then came the degradation, tantalized by Tantalus, the edge of Hope's mouth quivered once in anger, before she huffed a loud exhale, almost spitting in his direction.
"As dull witted as a plant, indeed! Avatar of life, how you've fallen from grace! Oh, but I see... the arrogance of your host hasn't rid itself of that body yet, has it? You couldn't bring yourself to kill him? And now, you're left with a pathetic mortal shell, of whom surely takes credit for all you've done... I think you've had enough to drink, little boy!" Hope made sure to emphasize on the last bit.
Reaching her left hand out, palm facing the table, Hope immediately began to ruin dinner for the individual who dared spite her. Immediately, Tantalus would find his wine missing, instead in the hands of the extravagantly dressed gypsy. She'd take a vague sip from the carafe, and made a clicking sound with her teeth. She had already warped Tantalus's glass far elsewhere, and no wine existed at the table any more.
"You wouldn't be able to defeat the powerful legendary poison Pokemon that created this disease, anyways... little fairy. Go take a nap, if that's what's making you so irritable, and let the adults talk. I have real wisdom to bestow upon worthy heroes!" Hope knew very well she'd have just started a war, and that her lie about a legendary poison pokemon might not even require attention to explain... she wanted to tease the man who dare mock her, and test how far she could push him. All in all, she did it for her own amusement. The vile smirk returned to her lips, as the tossed the wine carafe in to another tiny portal.
