Deimos

…

[There's Nothing Here.]

…

Gengar has safely taken you to the Wild Area, carrying you on his back.

The shadow has disappeared along the way, seemingly decided to give up pursuing you, for now.

Your mind has been unable to settle, to register the horrific incidents that had just taken place. Your Pokemon are dead. You were attacked in your own home. Nothing is safe.

A little voice in your mind has popped up, wanting to be heard, and it’s all about giving up. It would be so easy to quit, to surrender and submit to it all - whether it be your fate or destiny, or maybe it had been this way all along and this was how it was meant to be right from the very start, but for some reason, you had resisted it.

For a long time, you had not experienced fear but tonight, it had all come crashing back to you. You realised how helpless you were, how tiny and insignificant everything truly was.

As Gengar descends, having found a suitable place for landing, the cold rush of wind that hits you provides a tiny window of clarity.

No, I can’t give up. It’s only just begun.

You let out a choked rasp of anguish. A loud gasp rips from the back of your throat and a single tear pours from the corner of your eyes. No, no, this won't do. Squeezing your fist into a tight ball, you regather your composure and quickly squeeze your eyes shut, shaking your head before re-opening your eyes.

Whatever it is, you're determined to make it pay.

You will destroy it, if it's the last thing you do.

The change of scenery from the sleepy town of Wedgehurst to the vast and empty expanse of the Dusty Bowl is unfamiliar to you. The Wild Area is so dark and empty, it’s unsettling. You think back to your researching days, when you would spend many nights here on your own, in the dark, in the wildnerness with nothing but a torch, some food and pokedolls…and wonder how on earth did you do it?

When the pokemon lets you off, Gengar helps you sit down on a rock where you can gather your thoughts. You haven’t spoken since the ordeal and it looks like you’re still in shock. Your face is pale from fright yet your expression is impassive.

He’s worried, and he asks Mimikyu to help whilst he stays by your side: you've essentially run from home in your pyjamas and with no shoes, so she is tasked to find you some warm clothes.

The doll departs and quickly finds a campsite nearby – she spies a young couple sleeping inside their tents and sneakily ransacks their supplies, grabbing a pair of socks, shoes from the backpacker girl along with her coat.

Mimikyu returns with her goodies and hands them to you; she’s surprised you’re not reprimanding her as you usually would whenever she does something bad or wrong.

Instead, you silently don a stranger’s shoes and coat...and then you check the contents of your bag. You didn't pack much, if anything at all. Also, Rotom is missing. You must have left him at home.

Gengar and Mimikyu watch as you come across your radio next, pull it out and turn it round, switching it on, only for a horrific static noise to come blaring out followed by a deep male’s voice iterating the nursery rhyme “Ring-a-round-a-rosie,” repeatedly.

You hurriedly switch it off but the voice continues and seeing how shaken you are, Gengar slaps it out of your hands and onto the ground before he proceeds to stomp on the device, breaking it in half. To top it all off, he shoots it into smithereens with a Dark Pulse.

“Thanks.”

He gives you a nod of acknowledgement.

Next, you fish Vulpix’s capsule and release her. Once she emerges, your pokemon looks up at you expectantly. Your small team fall into line together and you glance at them all as they wait for your next instructions.

With a deep breath, you release a sigh and close your eyes briefly, then reopen them.

“…There's something after me, and it kills pokemon,” you utter, “Cutiefly and Sunkern are dead. The khira dagger broke and the talismans didn’t work. I don't know what it is. It's not a human, pokemon, spirit...I don't even think it's a demon. I can’t really explain it and I know how it sounds, but…it’s not from this world.”

You had stumbled over your words, your voice trembling. The pokemon, except Gengar, blink in alarm, exchanging glances between each other before they begin to crowd around you.

You step back, shaking your head.

“I’m releasing all of you. It will keep going after me so if you stay, I’ll only get you killed. Go home. You’ll be safe,” you utter shakily, and Mimikyu and Gengar look at you with widened eyes. "I want to thank you all for your help. I've enjoyed our time together, even though it was short."

Poor Vulpix is the most confused, padding up to you and sitting at your feet, looking up at you with her glossy eye. She had just been adopted and now she will be abandoned again. She sits on her haunches as you shake your head sadly before she lets out a mournful howl. Lowering yourself to a crouch, you gently pick her up and embrace her tightly, before letting her back down.

“I’m so sorry,” you whisper.

It’s Gengar and Mimikyu next, and you pick up the ragdoll and hug her firmly before moving onto Gengar.

“What are you going to do?”

“I’m going to find Gossamer Cave.”

“Then I’ll go with you.”

You shake your head.

“I can’t let you go on your own.”

“You can’t go with me.”

“But I promised to fight with you, to stay by your side,” he replies.

“I’m sorry, Gengar. I can’t take any risks. This is the only way I can keep you safe. You should go back and be with your trainer.”

"But you are my trainer now."

That makes you hesitate; Gengar's loyalty is touching and you let out another gentle sigh under your breath.

“What if you can’t find the cave?”

“I will.”

“Then we’ll wait for you here,” Gengar replies and you smile weakly at him. “We’ll wait for you.”

Without further ado, you turn your back on your pokemon, heading towards the opposite direction where the path that leads into the Dusty Bowl awaits. The pokemon begin to trail after you - you can hear their little footsteps - but you turn round and shake your head firmly, warning them. Vulpix and Mimikyu joins Gengar's side, watching you leave.

“Are we really free?” Mimikyu asks.

“Free or not, I’m waiting for her here,” Gengar says, folding his arms. “If you want to leave, you can go.”

“Suit yourself, mi.” Mimikyu replies.

…

Mimikyu heads for the tall grass. She’s a little stunned; Gengar and Vulpix are going to wait for you to return, but you had released them because it was no longer safe to be around you anymore.

Unsure what to really do or where to begin, now that she’s a free pokemon, Mimikyu wades through the undergrowth with little idea of where she’s going or where she should be heading to, or where her new or next home should be.

She accidentally bumps into a tough-looking Tyrogue who attempts to chase her away from its territory but she teaches him a lesson in sharing by letting loose a shadowy claw and slapping him away. The weakened Tyrogue has no choice but to let her wander around to her heart’s delight but even then, Mimikyu discovers she doesn’t like living in the tall grass. It’s too primitive.

She dawdles for a long time aimlessly until she comes across a clearing where a bunch of wild Mimikyu can be seen gathered together up ahead. Home! She’s home…

Immersing herself into the group, Mimikyu lifts a claw and attempts a friendly wave.

“Mi mi,” she says, but when they turn round, they only emit squeaking noises and she is greeted with haunting disguises that resemble Pikachu, her most hated enemy.

The disturbing black squiggles that are meant to resemble its eyes...they are so empty and hollow and sinister, it scares her.

Seeing her own kind dressed up as a Pikachu, desperate for attention and love, pretending to be something they’re not, lying to themselves in order to escape their never-ending cesspit of loneliness and melancholy, Mimikyu shakes her head furiously, coming to the realisation that she doesn’t belong here.

Instead of dressing up as Pikachu, they should be dancing around a burning effigy of the electric rodent!

Used to a warm bed and roof over her head, along with three meals a day and drink at virtually no cost, she realizes how difficult it would be to adjust to the wildlife and she does not remember how she used to live before she was taken in by humans.

Now she will need to look for food and drink on her own, as well as a place to sleep for the remainder of her days. She scampers away in fright at the newfound revelation, or crisis, and finds a pond where she sits at the damp, mossy edge, looking at her reflection.

She’s an ugly little ragdoll but a kind-hearted human took her in and she had a family. She had Gengar, Runerigus and Vulpix.

She begins crying, lost and confused and scared, until the shadow of a tree wobbles and a familiar pokemon steps out, carrying a one-eyed Vulpix under one arm.

“Gengar! Vulpix!” she exclaims, looking up as the shadow pokemon floats over to her. “You didn’t leave mi?”

Gengar shakes his head whilst Vulpix begins licking her face. "I knew something like this would happen to you,” he says. “You're not used to wild life anymore, are you?"

“No, mi want a nice home and warm food. I’m sorry for leaving. Let’s go, let’s find her.”

He nods, and together, they return to the main path where they attempt to follow their trainer’s lingering scent.

…

On your own, you have been unable to determine your bearings, where is north, south, east or west; you were certain you were at least on the right path by recalling some familiar landmarks of the region such as the huge, Musharna-shaped rock or Rhydon-shaped tree and you’ve ended up trekking onto uncharted territory, a path no-one had ever stepped foot on and now a sandstorm had whipped up from virtually out of nowhere.

The harsh wind billows from every corner; luckily, you’d packed a pair of goggles earlier to protect your eyes from the sand but the storm is too strong and you find yourself being blown away on one occasion too many. You persevere, pushing your body forwards and to the limit, lifting your arms up to shield yourself, planting one foot in front of the other slowly but steadily.

You hear a familiar buzz closeby before a small, red pokemon pops up and into the air and your eyes widen with shock.

"Rotom!" you exclaim as he bobs in front of you, "what are you doing here?"

"I fell azzleep in your bag, zzzipped myzzzelf up inzzzzide a pocket and juzzt woke up. What'd I mizzz, zzrt?"

You let out a heavy sigh. "Where do I even begin?"

Your phone glimpses around before he flies towards you and buries itself into your jacket for safety, peeking out behind your lapels.

"Where are we, zzrt? Actually, never mind! Let me find out, bzzrt!" his screen goes blank as he attempts to find your location but nothing happens; his screen is a fuzzy, jumbled mess of grey. "Lookzzz like I have no zzzignal. Oh dear, bzz."

"I'm not surprised."

"Can we go home, zzrt?"

"Not yet. Sorry, Rotom."

With Rotom as your remaining pokemon, you plough on. He moves to hide in your backpack, trembling with fear.

You’d been stuck in this sandstorm for what appears to be an eternity, with no end in sight and your feet are beginning to hurt.

Stopping, you glance around but you cannot see anything, only sandy smog that batters you from all directions. Looking behind your shoulders, your footsteps have disappeared too.

“Where are we, bzzrt?” Rotom asks.

“I don’t know. I’m sorry for dragging you into this, Rotom.”

“It’zzz okay, zzrt,” he replies. “we’re in thizzzz together.”

You’ve had your Rotom phone for a while now and he’s been so good to you. “We can do this, Rotom,” you reply.

He nods, and you continue your journey though you realise the storm has grown even stronger and the temperature has dropped and now you cannot even keep your balance as the wind blows you left and right, forwards and backwards. You cry out as you stumble around blindly and Rotom gets blown out of your backpack.

“EEP! Help!!!” he cries out as he’s whisked up and into the storm.

“Rotom!!” you yell, attempting to reach for him but he quickly vanishes from view, disappearing amidst the sand.

“Help!” he cries, though you can no longer see him.

“Rotom?? Where are you?” you yell, throwing your glance around wildly.

It’s silent.

“Rotom?! Hang in there, I’ll find you!”

Breaking into a sprint, you rush towards the direction you had last seen Rotom. To your dismay, you are greeted with nothing but the same dreary and blustering, never-ending sandy winds. Panting, you stop. Your mouth is dry, your mind hazy. You cannot even tell if you’re running in circles, if you’d been here before, if you’re heading back to where you came from.

Surrounded by nothing but billowing winds and sand, you realise how truly alone and lost you are.

“Rotom??” you yell into the vast nothingness.

There is no response, as expected.

“How does Ezra see where he’s going?” you mutter to yourself.

The sudden realization comes to you like a tonne of bricks dropping over your head.

He doesn’t.

Closing your eyes, you are freed from the rampant distraction of the sandstorm.

Taking a deep breath, you take one step forwards. Then another, and another. You let your feet wander on their own accord, taking one step at a time. You hold your breath to focus, concentrating as much as you can on pinpointing the correct path, the way forwards.

Allowing your senses to take over, your body begins to feel weightless and free as your feet carry you through the expanse. You guide yourself, clinging to a weak instinct that lingers in your gut which tells you that you’re heading the right way, and soon, your surroundings grow silent.

You stop walking.

The sandstorm has vanished and everything is still.

Opening your eyes, you blink, your eyes slowly adjusting to the light.

Your shoulders loosen up, the tension eroding away. You have escaped the sandstorm, and into a thick blanket of bluish grey mist filled with floating pieces of tiny pearly lights.

Observing them, you reach a hand out and press your fingertip against one of the lights which chimes and twinkles loudly, similar to the fairy lights of the Slumbering Weald.

Up ahead, a white orb of light bobs towards your direction. It grows brighter and brighter and as you squint your eyes for a better look, you make out the shape of a figure heading your way through the thick fog.

It’s a pokemon - the shiny Lucario you had seen all those years ago.

He stops before you, his red eyes meeting yours; he looks no different than the last time you had seen him, his golden fur grizzled and washed out, his expression stoic and calm. The light is emitting from the tip of his staff, which stops glowing and dies away slowly.

“You have found us," he says, with a brief nod of his head. "Well done. Follow me.”

“Wait, what happened to Rotom?”

“He’s fine,” Lucario replies, “You needn’t worry. Come along now. Don’t fall behind.”

Nodding, you trail after Lucario silently as he leads you through the surreal mist. On this occasion, the journey is a short and straightforward, linear path.

When he stops, you join his side, revealing a familiar sinkhole that’s bathed in swirling fog.

“Gossamer Cave! It’s real!" you exclaim as you peer down the ledge; everything is indeed as you had remembered.

“Yes.” Lucario lowers his staff and points the tip at the foggy cave entrance. “You must go inside on your own.”

You nod. “I am alone.”

He shakes his head and draws his staff near his shadow and lifts, reeling something out; it’s a chubby black blob which unfurls to reveal Gengar. You exclaim loudly with surprise, and the pokemon grins sheepishly at you.

Lucario frowns and shakes his head. “You must go in alone.”

“Can he wait for me outside?” you say, and Lucario growls lowly from his throat.

“Fine,” he grunts out, after a brief while.

You smile with gratitude and thank the pokemon profusely before throwing your glance to Gengar. He grins at you widely and you share an embrace. “Why are you here?”

“I was worried,” says Gengar, and you both quickly pull away to blink with shock, realizing his voice could be heard clearly out loud. It must be this strange place; it’s blurring two realities together.

However, you and Gengar merely grin and throw your arms around each other once more, his stubby arms wrapping around your back tightly.

“Thank you, Gengar,” you murmur, the corner of your eyes brimming with tears. “Thank you so much. Where are the others?”

“They’re waiting for you in the Dusty Bowl,” he says. “Don’t cry. You’re not alone. We’re here for you.”

You nod, and he releases you.

Unaffected by your reunion, Lucario steps in and says sternly, “It’s time. We will wait for you here. Good luck.”

“Thanks, Lucario.”

You pass them and begin to descend the rocky stairs without further ado, holding onto the vines for support. A serious flicker of déjà vu flashes in your mind for a split second and promptly disappears. Déjà vu or not, you have been here before and everything is exactly as it was many years ago. This place has remained untouched and unburdened by humans which prompts you to believe that you could have entered a different dimension, somehow.

Once you reach the bottom, the gloomy and dark entrance of the cave awaits you. The entrance seems bigger than last time; the slit is wider and stretches high above your head.

This is what Ezra was training you for, and now it’s time.

Taking a deep breath, you mentally assure yourself that everything is going to be fine and you are doing the right thing, though your pounding heart seems to tell you otherwise.

Ezra told you an ancient relic can be found here, and it will help you. You trust your mentor with your life.

Stepping towards the dark slit in the wall, you reach into your bag and pull out your torch, switching it on. It will be your only source of light as you navigate through the darkness that awaits you; you shine the light further within and it stretches all the way into the tunnel but to your surprise, there is no dead end in sight.

The tunnel seems to go on and on.

“It’s changed,” you murmur to yourself and as you step inside, a loud crumbling sound permeates the stillness and the entire cave trembles.

You turn round, witnessing the entrance close up behind you; vines entwine together, rocks and mud are pushed into each other by some unknown, unseen force. You're quickly sealed in, and you swallow down.

There's no way out... and you shine your torch around the gloomy walls, listening out for nothing but the casual drip of water from the stalactites splashing over the ground.

The interior of the cave has indeed changed since the previous venture. The left wall is covered entirely with cave paintings of stick figures and you presume this is supposed to be a depiction of early humans.

Stepping closer, you stop in front of the mural and reach over, running your fingertip over the dried paint and rub your fingers together; the paint falls off your skin in tiny flakes.

Following the rest of the pictures along the way, they progress from meaningless stick figures to a series of red handprints along with several names etched beside them, only there aren’t many names that match the number of handprints. You do not recognize the names until you come across Ezra’s name.

These must be the names of people who came here before you, and you glimpse up and around until you spot a rockpool near the wall brimming to the full with a thick, viscous red liquid which appears to be the origins of the paint.

You crouch by the pool and with your other hand, slowly press your palm into the ink, then find a random space on the wall and press your palm flat over the cold, uneven surface. Lifting your palm off, you see your name suddenly appearing on the wall from the stone and your eyes widen.

You decide to follow the rest of the paintings, moving along the wall. The paintings move from showing early humans carrying spears, to humans accompanied with prehistoric pokemon such as Aerodactyl, Kabutos and Omanytes.

The paintings unfortunately come to an end, and the last one shows an unsettling, bizarre-looking blob painted in black by an abundance of red dots that surround it in a spherical fashion.

You scrutinise this picture thoroughly, coming to the conclusion that whatever it’s meant to be, it's similar to the shadow creature that attacked you although this painting depicts it surrounded by humans who are bowing down, most likely in worship. Some of the painted figures are accompanied with small pokemon, too.

You move onto the next set of paintings that are far more colourful; a shining white creature has been painted, surrounded by an ochre ring: Arceus.

There are also early depictions of Palkia, Dialga and Giratina along with a drawing of a large red pokemon which you can only believe is Groudon, followed by an elegant blue pokemon, Kyogre.

It’s a timeline of ancient history, and a faint rumble captures your attention and you shine your torch towards the tunnel that lies ahead.

It had come from deep within.

You grow still, listening and staring into the darkness where the light doesn’t reach.

Holding your breath, you wait for a reply as the ground beneath you quakes and the grumbling from within grows louder and louder until a red light flickers briefly from deep within the tunnel.

Cocking your head to the side, you make a move forwards until your torch wavers, the light flickering on and off and growing dimmer and dimmer.

“Shit,” you curse under your breath, giving the device a few hefty slaps with the heel of your palm.

When you get it working back to proper order, the red light has vanished and your brows furrow in confusion.

There's something down there and there are no other areas of interest here so you must continue to move forwards; you carefully navigate your way into the tunnel which descends to a rather steep path that leads you deeper and deeper into the belly of the cave. Along the way, you are mindful of sharp rocks that stick out from the ground and sides and the more you venture, the colder it becomes.

Pulling your coat tightly to yourself, you plod through until the path expands, revealing a large clearing and as you arrive, your breath lodges in your throat.

The cave itself is larger inside than it looks compared to outside, with magnificent, huge walls that stretch all the way to unknown heights. You’re certain if you shine your torch up, the beam of the light would not be able to reach the ceiling.

A square, stone platform stands in the middle of the cave, with four pillars in each corner. Huge runes have been carved on the stone pillars, and you recognise some of them from Ezra’s teachings. Some are faded but from you can make out, they spell a simple message which translates to ‘He Who Hath Come Hath Thy Eyes’.

You wander towards the platform, standing in the middle. Below, a pentagram in a perfect circle has been etched along with a symbol in the very middle, one you don’t recognise.

The rumbling stirs the atmosphere once again, except it sounds closer now, much, much closer….coming from above…and the cavern walls tremble and you instinctively take a few steps backwards, glancing around cautiously.

You are no longer alone; a shadow swoops down from the ceiling and lands on the platform.

The impact sends you tumbling backwards and you drop over the ground, rolling awkwardly before you manage to regain your balance and with your torch, you quickly gather yourself back up and shine the light on the creature.

It’s a dark blob….and it doesn’t move, doesn’t react to your light shining on its form. It’s still, as though frozen in time but occasionally disrupted with a slight twitch accompanied with a low, buzzing, or humming noise and you slowly rise to stand, pushing yourself off the ground.

It appears to be assembling itself; though its body seems to be nothing but darkness, you can make out wave-like ripples and swirls on the surface that run throughout its body in casual waves…as though it’s unfurling and curling. It moves like a fabric in water though its texture appears anything but smooth.

There’s many thoughts racing through your mind: organic or inorganic? Sentient or not? Malicious or benevolent?

Surprisingly, you do not feel threatened by its presence and as it continues to transform, it begins to twitch violently until two rudimentary appendages bursts out from its back, twisting together and stretching up high into the air. They’re wings, and they divide into four, then six.

A single dot of red light accompanies it, shining brightly in the middle of the dark mass. It soon splits into two, then three, four….five…It continues to divide until there are a total of eight that begin to rotate clockwise in a hypnotic fashion.

They swivel and weave in enticing motions before they group together to form a horizontal line in front of you. Then they quickly assemble into a vertical line and finally, a small, shapeless cluster. These strange lights hover close to your right, peer at you up and down, then hastily retreat and move to your left and do the same. They appear to be curious about you, inspecting you keenly.

It's identical to what you saw in your bedroom.

Not lights, you think to yourself. Eyes.

The creature is huge, towering many feet over you. Unable to tear your gaze away, you throw your glance left, right and up as the eyes return to its main position in the centre and regard you intensely in return.

Not a human.

Not a pokemon.

“Deimos,” you breathe out.

The eyes glow softly in response, enticing you to come forwards.

Taking one minuscule step, you slowly raise a hand - your hand cannot stop shaking – and though your gesture is bold, to touch it, it stays still and your palm lands on a cold but smooth surface and what feels like a cool breeze surges through your entire body, sending tingles down your spine. You let out a loud gasp from the sensation and retreat your palm.

The crippling fear, the loneliness, the agony, the despair...

It has all but disappeared.

"I know why you're here," a quiet voice whispers in the dark.

It's deep but gentle...and it doesn’t sound male or female...or anything at all, if possible.

“You’re the one who Ezra spoke to when he was a child. You taught him,” you murmur. “And you helped him all those years ago, too. It was you.”

"You want to learn how to stop Phobos.”

"Phobos?"

The eyes join together and arrange themselves, moving towards the ceiling; they shift from blood red to a golden glow at once, the eyes growing glossy. You believe it's looking at something.

“Phobos is one of my kin. He revels in chaos, enjoys feeding more than I do, and he enjoys wreaking havoc unto humans and pokemon.”

You're confused. What exactly are Deimos and Phobos? “Why me? Why Rosie...my mum and dad???”

“You and your sister possess aura, and a large amount of it. Your sister was devoured for that reason, and you’re next. Your mother and father were unfortunately fodder along the way. You are correct; Phobos must be stopped, in order to preserve the balance of the universe."

Its glossy red eyes shows your reflection and the expression on your face...you have never seen yourself look so awestruck yet petrified at the same time, and it's as though it's looking at you too, staring right into your soul.

"You...you'll help me?" you stutter out, swallowing down thickly.

"Yes."

You hold your breath.

"You're in pain. And you have been, for a very long time. I can take it all away. I can make it stop.”

Nodding weakly, your mouth quivers as a shaky breath leaves your throat.

"I just want this nightmare to end," you whisper. "What do I need to do?"

"Let's form a pact," it says. "You and I."

...

You emerge from the cave.

Gengar and Lucario head over; the Pokemon are pleased to see you and as you meet them, you and Gengar share an embrace once more.

“What happened? You were inside for a long time. Did you find it?” Gengar asks as you pull away with a nod.

“I found it,” you reply, smiling, “I know what to do. Everything's going to be okay now. Let's go back.”

Gengar nods; he does not fail to notice the distinct shade of your eyes, which is a curious shade of red.

…

EXTRA NOTES: (these are from AO3, I added them incase anyone is confused -

Deimos was actually meant to converse a bit more with Reader, but the more it did, the more it lost the mystery that surrounds it.

Honestly I wasn't sure myself if this was the right direction to go but I didn't think it would be convincing if Deimos turned out to be a pokemon - Darkrai for example, or even a pokemon I made up because I think that would be hard to imagine - so I've kept Deimos as this cosmic entity/eldritch horror that resides in a cave which is only accessible by those who possess an extremely high level of aura.

It's kind of similar to Mirage Island, I guess?? but it will also not appear unless the individual possesses a high level of aura too. Reader is a late bloomer, which is why it took her so long to reach this stage. Deimos and Phobos are kin, but Phobos is evil and Deimos can be considered good. If you have further questions please feel free to ask.

@nyarthsis

If Team Rocket 'always had a heart for unpopular Pokémon', that's an admission their Alola catches aren't particular loveable creatures, so I'm not thinking anything too controversial.

You're saying they take pity on the animals no one wants, as in it's normal for me not to find them adorable.

Some Pokémon, such as Lucario, become fan favourites without the advertisement of a regular role the anime. With Wobbuffet, Bewear, Stufful, Mareanie and Mimikyu, do people like them for themselves, or because of their association with Team Rocket?

I think its the latter. I can't imagine there would be such interest in them were they to be owned by a Twerp or appear as a one-off. Really then, it's not what or who they are, it's to whom they belong that matters.

Alola has really devalued catching. Rather than be true to the source material, so battering a Pokémon into submission, as Ash did with Bulbasaur, Primeape, Muk, and many others, now you have to ask their permission!

Bewear didn't even get that. She hung around for no reason, and her 'friend' Stufful was belatedly tacked on. I see why those two were left behind, as Team Rocket had no right to take them elsewhere.

In terms of welfare, Mimikyu and Mareanie are better off staying with them, free and safe, rather than locked in the insalubrious depths of H.Q., but then it never bothered the writers sending previous Pokémon into an uncertain future, so what difference does it make now?

It can only be that, like their predecessors, there is no intention to ever bring them back, but unlike the rest, the fans can't even be allowed the vain hope of a return, not with this rather awkward disposal.

It's feasible that Jessie and James could call their base and request old monsters to join them, but it's difficult to imagine they'd fly across the world to Alola, wander through the woods, pick 'em up and go all the way back again. Why make parting so final and irreversible?

It does imply that Game Freak don't like them, so why should I?

I keep noticing this fickle attitude. A new era starts, we're expected to fall instantaneously in love with every element, beg for more and yet more. Then, once the next region arrives, this adoration asked of us is meant to evaporate and immediately transfer to the next batch.

Well why start to like them, if eventually the makers don't care, to the extent you wouldn't even know previous Pokémon had ever been alive?

Have you heard one mention of Seviper, Yanmega, Dustox, Cacnea, Carnivine, and Mime Junior since they left?

Why were they happy to chuck Wobbuffet after Sinnoh, yet fetched for Kalos?

How could Team Rocket live without it for an entire generation but suddenly it's indispensable again? What do you imagine the rest of their Pokémon felt about that?

Have Jessie and James wondered allowed how Arbok, Weezing, Lickitung and Victreebel are doing?

What of the last two generations?

What is this nonsense where every character is so detached from the past?

Supposing I was to force myself to appreciate them: since they've gone, never to return, I'd be dissatisfied with the show, thus no better off than I am now.

My feelings don't run on a switch. I can't find myself besotted one minute then dump the object of affection without a second thought, just because Nintendo want it from me.

Even if I had a more positive opinion of the current interpretation, there's no benefit to becoming involved when it's all so fleeting.

Mareanie is ugly, with three teeth. I think he's a sea anenome, so ought to be more attractive, but it's covered in nipples instead!

It looks like a bonsai tree growing breasts, reminiscent of the hideous content lurking within an Hieronymous Bosch painting.

The idea that all Mimikyu copy Pikachu, the most famous Pokémon, when in their world it's nothing special, is too stupid for me to accept. How could that be coincidence?

It's referencing reality, acknowledging the real world's view of Pikachu as the star, so if it's breaking the fourth wall, it invites disbelief.

Wobbuffet does sod all. It's a complete dead weight and has no attacks. Yet it's the one to survive generation after generation. Where's the logic in that?

I suspect his popularity rests on being there so long he's considered part of the furniture, the sole catch in which you can invest an emotional connection whilst fairly certain he'll remain around.

By now it ought to have developed some semblance of a personality, but it's as faceless as ever. Other Pokémon that have been and gone had a bit more about them, but Wobba's so bland no one can summon the energy to write him out.

If he went, what would you miss? Breaking out of his ball and hissing 'WAAAAAHBUHFEH'? Is that so integral?

I have several objections:

What is it meant to be?

Why does its tail have eyes?

Why is that never mentioned?

Is it a sort of quadruped, or has it only one foot with four toes, arranged like the bottom of a medical walking stick?

A lot of my reactions to Pokémon are influenced by encountering them in the games. With Wobbuffet, I remember first coming across it in the cave near Blackthorn City, and just as you're winning the fight, it pulls out Destiny Bond and suddenly you're both down.

When you finally get one, it's tricky to train. You have no choice but to guess whether the opposition will launch a physical or special move, and mostly you get it wrong. He never learns anything else and doesn't evolve, so it's that forever.

Persevering with Magikarp is worthwhile, but what's to be gained from taking any time out to fight with Wobbuffet?

The anime eliminates this problem. You're aware of the nature of the approaching onslaught because you can see it coming, and the opponent said it aloud.

In this context Wobbuffet should be the most powerful Pokémon in the universe. Come on, it can deflect every attack!

Is it? No. It has a successful defence about once a generation, and still loses the battle. I can't say if it's worse to be utterly pointless, or to not fulfil one's potential.

I resent it muscling in on the motto, as if it's considers itself of equal rank to Meowth. No it's not!

When I was young, there was a tendency for magazines to refer to Team Rocket as a duo. Meowth was judged to be in the same position as Pikachu: a main character yes, and valuable enough to be accorded the privilege of liberty, but still very much owned by people.

You would see references to Jessie and James as his Trainers, though how they assumed this worked went unexplained. Even if shared, one had to have to caught him, thus be his proper owner.

Later on this developed into them being three equal members, and the term 'TRio' emerged, but now, although perhaps not officially recognised, there's an attitude of treating them as a quartet.

It's just wrong! Wobbuffet's not been around since day one. He didn't join Team Rocket voluntarily because he had nowhere else to go. It was a choice made for him by his original Trainer, so out of his hands, or rather his flippers.

If he was an independent Pokémon who just tagged along one day, that would be different, but it belongs to Jessie. Promoting one of hers means James is lesser, and no longer equal.

In each generation Team Rocket catch at least one local Pokémon, but as Wobbuffet's there, it ends up with Jessie having more on her side than James, and I dislike the imbalance. Plus the one he does get is violent.

It can't be solved by giving him another new one, as then he's captured two in the region, and she has only one, so again it's skewed.

Whilst Wobbuffet does count in numbers, he's not on the level of the rest, who fight regularly. He's both there and not simultaneously.

I'm still irked the way Lickitung was ejected to make room.

It was the best Pokémon they ever had! It took out Pikachu, Vulpix and Bulbasaur with one move! It would've won those Princess Dolls for Jessie if the writers hadn't changed the rules so that Lick only affects those of sound mind!

It was as if they realised their mistake too late, and so Lickitung was featured less and less to avoid it dominating a fight, then hurriedly traded away for something reliably feeble.

The following analogy you may not understand, but I think it fits rather aptly:

There's a game called Final Fantasy VIII. One of the side quests involves you racing through a castle under a time limit. If successful, you are rewarded with Odin as a Guardian Force, which is a deity that will provide a defence.

Unlike others, he is out of your control, but every so often, as you enter battle, he turns up and annihilates your opponents. It's very welcome.

Unfortunately this game was programmed by bunyips, who clearly didn't want the last section of the game to be accidently easier for you. Oh no. If you're progressing, it ain't gonna be through luck, or turning the console on and off until he arises.

Therefore, towards the close, you come up against ex-friend Seifer. Odin is fixed to rush to your aid, but when he does, bloody Seifer slices him in half, horse and all!

He killed Odin, the ancient King of the North! The Lord of Valhallah! The Father of the Vikings!

It's not normal fighting death, it's irreversible. He's gone for good.

After this Gilgamesh introduces himself as a replacement. He too will randomly appear and set about the enemy.

The problem is that whilst Odin destroyed monsters unfailingly, with Gilgamesh it's a rarity.

He uses four swords, and which you get is also a lottery.

One is the same as Odin's, two deal average damage, but not death, and the worst one depletes 1 HP, so it might as well not have bothered.

Not only does it arrive but a fraction of the time, but it's in a fraction of those times that it's of any assistance, which is something of a comedown.

Lickitung is Odin: didn't see it often, but it tore the place apart!

Wobbuffet is Gilgamesh: once in a blue moon it provides rescue, but it's on a lot lower percentage than it's predecessor.

It's difficult not to be disappointed.

Mobile Information : Avery Dane

[Pokemon Original Character from the Galar Region]

Age: 19

Birthdate: July 6th

Residence: Galar in Motostoke Race: Human Spoken Languages: Galaran English Occupation: Pokemon Trainer - aspiring Fire Gym trainer. Height: 6'0" / 182 cm Weight: 175 lbs / 79 kg Sexuality: Pansexual Physical description: Hazel Eyes, Sage green undercut, and medium-fair skin. Thin, broad shouldered, and stylishly dressed. Definded jawline and cheekbones. Has a few burn scars, but that comes with the territory of working with fire type pokemon and making curry in a hurry for an impatient gyarados. Mannerisms: Avery is a pretty laid back person, and is generally very calm. He spends a lot of time playing with his pokemon. Soft spoken but firm in his beliefs. Tends to smirk and raise an eyebrow when he's up to no good or giving someone shit. Education: Highschool education. Emotional and Mental Description: Avery is intelligent, relaxed, and driven. He finds his motivation in the fond memories he has of his father's Arcanine, and adores his pokemon even if some of them no longer see battles that often. He's generally kind, but seems to handle himself better around Pokemon than people. He's a good friend when you get to know him, and he has a good sense of humor, but he can be sort of stubborn. He's happy with himself but he isn't content to sit on his haunches and do nothing. Not particularly spiritual. Current Team(s): The original 6 Pokemon who ventured with them through the first part of the gym challenge were: Gyarados, Noibat, Raboot, Appletun, Butterfree, and Toxtricity. They are currently working on raising a Growlithe, Vulpix, and a foreign Slugma that took a LOT of doing to get their hands on. (They have a very soft spot for slugma.) It really depends where you catch them which pokemon they will have on hand. historyAvery has loved fire type pokemon for as long as they can remember. Their father was a part of the police force, and worked side by side with an Arcanine as his partner, and Avery's earliest memory was of being curled up against the warm body of the Arcanine and napping while their father worked. This was before Avery was able to speak, but the memory has always stuck out in their mind and was probably in no small part the reason they're so fond of fire type pokemon. As a teenager, Avery leapt at the chance to tackle the gym challenge, eager to build a team of their own. With their father's permission, they entered, though admittedly they didn't finish-- falling out like many others had. It wasn't nesscessarily that the gyms were too hard, but they realized that aiming to be a champion wasn't something he truly wanted to do. Rather, after earning their fourth badge, they decided to drop out of the challenge. It really didn't take them long to realize why-- after facing Kabu they'd been inspired to follow their own true childhood dream and build a team of fire types. They think, perhaps, that they might be able to join in aid of Kabu's gym once they have a sufficient team. Eventually they'd love to have a chance to be able to step up and take over the title of fire gym leader, but they know that's a long way off. For the time being, Avery spends their time training their new team and searching for trades for rare fire types that aren't native to Galar. (They're quite proud of having gotten their hands on a slugma, considering they're a favorite of Avery's.)

Cold: Victor Nikiforov x Alolan Vulpix!Reader

Request: How about a cute Victor Nikiforov x Alolan Vulpix!Reader fic were Victor sees the reader trying to skate.

A/n: Back with a slightly shorter imagine. Thank you for reading. Reblog to share my work!

To Victor, moments like these were the ones he would remember. These images stored at the back of his mind to reminisce about later in his life. The picture of trees covered in white, a soft blue sky with clouds like cotton balls and the slippery underground on which he tried to walk.

It was getting colder, and winter was just about to reveal itself in St. Peterburg. Victor was exhaling clouds of white smoke, his hands deep in the pockets of his trench coat, trying to hide from the harsh touch of cold morning air. His nose had turned red, and he couldn’t help but sniff every few seconds and bury his face a little more into the collar of his coat.

Life had been pretty hectic lately, and the fact that he was still 17 and inexperienced with this kind of lifestyle hadn’t helped either. He felt like everybody was watching over him, as if they needed to document every second of his life and make sure he was keeping up with what was expected of him. His father had spoken to him about what he could expect of the industry, but his words were far from reality and Victor still barely managed to keep up with his to do list. Yes, he was almost at the top of the skating world and almost nobody had been able to keep up with him, but the consequences that came with his success were going to break him at some point.

That’s why he kept moments like these to himself. Being up at 6 am so he could watch the sun rise, before making his usual stroll around the neighbourhood. He found his way through the park and along the side of the river, watching as the water sparkled under the rays of the early sun. There was nothing but silence, only the sound of snow crunching under his feet audible.

At only 17 he felt like he had hit a wall. He felt sick just thinking about continuing his skating career till he was at least 30, which was 13 more years. Why couldn’t he just go to school and get a normal job like anybody else, why had he been so passionate about ice skating if it eventually only would make him feel depressed. His motivation had been long gone, and the only reason why he could drag himself out of bed in the morning was so the day would be over quicker and he could get back in bed again. He just was desperate to regain his love for skating, but till this day he had never managed to get it back.

Until he walked past a small pond, completely frozen and covered in a thick layer of snow. The trees surrounding it would often drop some of their burden on top of the already existing layer, freeing their branches from the weight of the white substance.

But it wasn’t the view that caught Victor’s attention. It was a small creature dribbling around on the pond, chasing snowflakes that came falling from the sky. It scrunched it’s nose as he caught one and visibly shivered while it’s body warmth caused the snow to melt and drip down it’s nose. It kept slipping on the ice, and its feet couldn’t get a grip on the slippery slope it tried to chase the pecks of snow on.

Victor unconsciously stopped to watch the small creature play, and unaware of his own amusement, he smiled as it continued to slip on the cold surface.

It didn’t take long for you to notice him. It had been quiet until your focus was grabbed by a sudden person giggling over your antics. You eyed him up and down, blue eyes piercing into his presence as you inspected his appearance. Offering him a small whine, you invited him over to play with you. He didn’t look like he wanted to harm you in any way, and with his height he had an advantage in catching snowflakes, well at least that’s what it seemed like to you. Shaking your fluffy tail, you motioned him to come to you, a small howl coming from your throat, trying to convince him just a bit more.

Victor watched you with curious eyes, at first not getting what you were hinting at. He had never seen an Alolan Vulpix before, and he was a little flabbergasted at your presence. It was when you dribbled over to him to tug at the fabric of his sweats with your teeth, that he finally seemed to snap back into reality.

“Hello there… what’s your name?” He crouched down and met the soft fur on your head with his hand, softly caressing you. He eyed your white fur and mentally stated that you were one of the most beautiful pokemon he had ever seen.Your eyes stood out and made him feel like he was looking right into space. You were a truly mesmerizing being.

You didn’t understand what he said, it all sounded like muttering to you. All you could do was blink up at him and howl in response. He chuckled and shrugged as if he meant to tell you it didn’t matter, rising from his crouched position.

“You’re having trouble on the ice, huh?” First he placed one foot onto the frozen pond, slowly leaning on his leg to test the durability of the ice. Once he confirmed it was thick enough to carry his weight, he joined your side. You happily smiled up at him, watching as he got used to the slippery surface. The guy must have been very experienced with slippery surfaces, because within seconds he was twirling and sliding over the frozen pond. Casually he skated backwards, hands deep in the pockets of his coat and a small smile on his face. He seemed relieved in some way, content with the way he currently felt and trying to enjoy the moment as he went.

After a few rounds, Victor turned back to you, extending his hand towards you and asking if you wanted to join him. You eyed him, curious about the expression on his face. There was something hidden behind his act of positivity. Something sad. Regret shadowing over him that he tried to ignore, but failed as it seeped its way into his head.

Before you knew it, you were walking towards him, trying to keep on your feet as the ice made it nearly impossible for you to reach the Russian. Victor noticed you struggle, and quickly joined your side.

“Here, let me help you.”

“Yes, very good!”

You finally managed to successfully stay on your feet, and you happily barked up at Victor who as praising you for your progress. He didn’t realise how much time had passed. The sun had fully risen, and slowly people began crowding the once quiet park. They smiled fondly as they saw Victor play with the small Vulpix, some even stopping to appreciate the innocence of the two characters as if they were attending a play.

But Victor as well noticed the crowd, and with fear he grabbed his phone out of his pocket and glanced at the time indicated. He was already 2 hours too late for practice. A sigh filled with disappointment fell from his lips, and he crouched down to pet you on the head one last time.

“I… have to go now. You should too, your trainer must be worried.” You tilted your head. Why would you need another trainer if you already found one. He was teaching you something new, right? So he couldn’t be anything other than that.

You leaned into his touch, purring as he scratch that one spot behind your ear that you loved. He chuckled, removed his hand and proceeded to walk away after offering you a small wave.

What he didn’t realise was that you were obediently following him, wondering why he hadn’t caught you yet. You didn’t mind following him, but wasn’t it easier for him to carry you in one of his Pokeballs.

It wasn’t until he stood in front of a busy street, waiting till he could cross it, when he suddenly noticed the presence beside him. He glanced down to see you seated next to him, waiting to cross the road as well. Victor blinked down at you, hands stuffed in his pocket to protect against the cold. A small cloud escaped from his mouth as he spoke, and you looked up at him.

“You don’t have a trainer?” You blinked back at him, a silent confirmation that you wanted to stay with him. A smile returned on Victor’s face, one that rivaled the one he previously had showed when you played on the ice together. A smile that caused the shadow of regret and sadness to be vanished by its light, and lift the heavy weight from his shoulders. A twinkle appeared in his eyes, and his lips curved into a wide grin. His eyes turned back to gaze into the space in front of him.

“I guess you’re mine then.”

Roleplay Server Log #226

“ChildNOTCH and DarkNOTCH”

-Later that night, there's a knock on Splender's doorframe. -

[Splender] Perks and looks over- Come in

[Dolly] Appears in the doorway. She has an iron sword in one hand and a torch in the other. It's obvious she fought a few mobs to get there but doesn't seem phased by the ordeal. Her eyes are alight with grim purpose. - Splender....

[Splender] - Dolly? What's wrong? You look ready for war... Is Zeke okay?

[Dolly] Puts the sword away. - It's a trecherous walk to take at night. That's all. Everyone is fine.. except...

[Splender] Stands and approaches her- Dolly what's going on?

[Dolly] I need materials from the outside, I'm willing to trade for them, but I have no idea what I could offer you.

[Splender] - What do you need?

[Dolly] Lead. And mercury.

[Splender] - I think we might have some of that at home... Okay! I'll be right back!

[Dolly] Waits nervously-

[Splender] Creates an opening and goes through, closing it behind him. After a few minutes he returns with a few bars of lead and a couple large beakers of mercury- Here you go!

[Dolly] Eyes them greedlily, and takes them from him - Splender... I can't thank you enough... If there's anything I can ever do for you, you have only to ask.

[Splender] - Just continue to be a wonderful mother to Zeke and make him happy, that's all I ask

[Dolly] I will. I promise. - She turns to leave-

-There's a whisper of air and a feeling like feathers brushing past Splender to follow her-

[Splender] Looks around to see if he can see anything-

-There's a bit of noise that sounds like a zombie being shanked outside, but nothing else-

[Deer] Flops over in the bed to look at Doc- Love... There's something bothering me...

[Doc] Snnnrk... - Xe rolls over a little bit and snuggles closer to her-

[Deer] Runs a hand over Doc's face-

[Yaunfen] Is nosing their way between them-

[Doc] Blinks sleeply-

[Deer] - Are you awake?

[Doc] Horsefeathers.... I'm not in the mood for cheese...

[Deer] Leans in an kisses Doc, feeling Yaunfen nudging at their bellies as the dragon tries to make a space for itself-

[Doc] Mostly wakes up - Deerheart?

[Deer] - Yes?

[Doc] Were you saying something?

[Deer] - Yes... Something's been bothering me since Slender arrived...

[Doc] Just one thing? It's been a really stressful week.

[Deer] - Well, more like two... Entities that is. Since I was keeping a closer eye on the server while Slender was here I noticed two entities which kept approaching the firewall and then backing off...

[Doc] Is now totally awake- Seriously? I felt something off last time I was out, I could have sworn someone was following me. Maybe even tried to get in behind me when I came back in.

[Deer] - I never would have noticed it if I hadn't been on such high alert because of Slender...

[Doc] What do you think it is? I would presume a brine would have knocked by now and demanded to know what was going on.

[Deer] - I can't tell, but they almost feel like they belong...

[Doc] Shivers- Belong? Are they, part of the server? Like you are?

[Deer] - Not like me... But, I can't really tell, they're just outside of the server so I can't really get a good read on them

[Doc] ... Based on that, what would your reccomendation be? Do they seem hostile?

[Deer] Thinks for a moment- No? I mean not right off the bat they don't...

[Doc] Looks a bit far away and runs a hand over the blankets. - It's cold out there... I guess we should at least talk to them. See why they keep hanging around.

[Deer] - Maybe, Should I let you know when one of them gets close again?

[Doc] I guess your radius outside the firewall is pretty short?

[Deer] - Yeah... Maybe Flux could feel more? If they cross between here and her old server that is since she said she can still feel everything on her server

[Doc] But nothing right now?

[Deer] - No, but I thought I should let you know...

[Doc] I'm glad you did. I'll go out and have a look around in the morning. I won't go alone either, just in case.

[Yaunfen] Pushes up between their faces-

[Doc] Chuckles and gives Yaunfen a cuddle as well. - Pretty soon you're gonna need your own room. Getting so big!

[Yaunfen] - Mada!

[Doc] Heads to Lie's house later that morning, xe's walking in hir smaller shape and not in a huge hurry.

[Ponyta] Goes rushing by-

[Doc] Looks up briefly and around for Silver. But the creepypasta is nowhere to be seen.

[Lie] Is just finishing up her morning chores-

[Doc] Stops by her sheep pen to give Rosebud a friendly pat-

[Rosebud] Lip's Doc's fingers-

[Lie] Is moving some bales of hay around- Oh, hey Doc

[Doc] Rubs the little sheep's ears- Morning Lie.

[Lie] -what brings you out here?

[Doc] Just wandering. I think I'll likely have another emergency to deal with soon, but for now I'm just waiting.

[Lie] - Ah, so just relaxing after a week of dealing with Slender

-The Vulpix's play wrestle in the hay area-

[Doc] More or less. - Looks at the foxes playing- They're so sweet. Nice to see the spooked one acclimating.

[Lie] - They still get scared if I'm not around according to CP

[Doc] That's adorable. Mine all kinda hang out together. Exeggutor isn't very active and they like to nap on those leaves and at their feet. Especially Archen.

[Lie] - You know, I've noticed recently that Notch and Flux have been spending a lot more time walking around together...

[Doc] I'm glad for both of them. I know Flux was lonely and Markus is so obviously smitten with her.

[Lie] - Well I have noticed Notch walking a bit funny at times, so I don't think they've gotten any farther

[Doc] I'll have to have a talk with them both. or send TLOT around. He loves that kind of thing. Honestly I haven't been getting much in that way either. It's hard when you have a kid sharing your bed...

[Lie] - Don't you think it's time for them to have their own bed Doc?

[Doc] Yes. But I'd prefer they get a few more words in so I can explain what I'm doing without making them sad or scared.

[Lie] - I see... Maybe start off with them having a sleepover with TLOT and Steve? Or somebody else they're pretty familiar with

[Doc] Perhaps. Yaunfen has been really clingy with me since Pinwheel visited. They got really jelous.

[Lie] Laughs a little- Of course they did! That's how most children are when a new child comes around which could be a threat to their time with their parents!

[Doc] Oh. I didn't know. -Is a little flustered- I haven't done.... this part before...

[Lie] - I know, but if you need any advice, don't hesitate to ask me, I've worked with children before

[Doc] I may do just that. Before you know it, it will be time to make a human shape for them too. I already have some ideas in mind. But I'll ask first, of course.

[Lie] - Of course- She looks up at her bedroom window where she knows CP is lazily laying in bed

[Doc] Follows her eyes- I take it Cp slept in?

[Lie] - No, he won't sleep without me, remember? He's actually just being lazy and staying in bed

[Doc] He's probably bored again. Well I might have something for him to do soon as well.

[Lie] - What is it?

[Doc] Deerheart says there's someone outside. They keep wandering close ot the firewall and then away again. I've been feeling watched whenever I go out too. I'm waiting for her to let me know they came in range again so I can go see who they are and why they keep hanging around.

[CP] Yells from the bridge- So I'll get to kill it?

[Doc] Jumps a little- I have no idea! She says they don't feel bad. Almost like they.... belong here?

[Lie] - Weird...

[Doc] I'd welcome your help if you can keep your temper Cp.

[CP] - Do I have to?

[Doc] No. But it would be nice. Do you have other plans today?

[CP] Grumbles and comes down- So are we hunting these things down? Or what are we doing?

[Doc] I don't know. Like I said, I'm waiting on a call.

[Flux] Enters the garden area to gather some food for her and Notch-

[Lie] Nudges Doc and points Flux out-

[Doc] She looks decently content.

[Lie] - Yeah, but not as content as she was a few days ago

[Doc] Pfft.

[Notch] Comes around the corner on the phone- Well dammit. Get him an ice pack. Don't you keep basic stuff for people being sick?! You have a baby for fuck sake!

[Lie] Perks up a little- Notch?

[Notch] Yes, yes... Just keep him cool. - puts his hand on the phone- Jeb says Hg has a horrible fever and he's freaking out. Jeb, not Hg.

[Lie] Looks at her husband- CP...

[CP] - What?

[Lie] - Will you make an opening for me? I can help by giving HG cold flowers and the pain reducing flowers

[Notch] That would probably be a really good idea.

[CP] - Will it scare the crap out of Jeb?

[Notch] into the phone- I'm gonna send... a friend to help out with the fever.. yes, just stay calm. -at Cp- Wait, what?

[CP] Makes an opening and goes through first-

[Doc] Most likely-

[Jeb] Screaming out of the phone and the portal-

[Notch] Drops the phone-

[Lie] Sighs and goes through, CP helping her through from the other end-

[Doc] Is helping Notch retrieve his phone. He looks a little stunned from the volume-

[Jeb] Is shaking under Cp's empty glare-

[Lie] - CP, knock it off- She looks around for HG and spots him on the couch. She smiles gently as she approaches him- Hey HG

[HG] -waves weakly-

[Lie] Gives a confused look at the coffee table- Um... Okay...

[Jeb] Stammers- He-he watered it!

[CP] - Yeah that's kinda his thing

[Jeb] But it's a coffee table! It's mostly varnish and wood glue!

[Lie] Kneels down next to HG- Hey, how are you feeling?

[CP] - And we're glitches? Why shouldn't it effect things like that?

[HG] -his vice sounds horse- everything hurts and its so hot.

[Jeb] Goes silent for a moment, but he still looks afraid- I-I've kept him fed and everything but he suddenly overheated! I don't know what to do! If he was human I'd take him to a hospital!

[Lie] Focuses her powers and spawns a pain reducing flower- Here, hold onto this and shake it whenever the pain gets bad

[CP] - That's normal, he just needs to be kept cool, that's all

[Jeb] Is mesmerized by the shiny bellflowers-

[HG] -takes the flower and shakes it and wants to water it but the water pail is empty-

[Lie] Extends some of the branches from the new tree and hangs some cold flowers from it so they dust HG with a gentle snow- Here you go

[HG] thank you lie

[Jeb] Is sneaking closer to look at the flowers-

[Lie] - You're very welcome, do you need anything else?

[Jeb] whispers- How much longer until he's....?

[CP] - Maybe another week at the most

[Jeb] Good. - He looks a bit crestfallen and it's obvious he hasn't been sleeping much.

[Lie] - Don't worry, we'll be out of your hair soon enough

[Jeb] Just looks down. His thoughts are plain, he misses his wife and child.

[Lie] Catches his thoughts- She may be a bit mad, but I guarantee she misses you as well

[Jeb] flatly- huh? ...thanks...

[CP] - Lie, are we done here?

[Lie] Looks at HG- Sorry, but we do have to be getting back, we're waiting on Deer to alert us on some things

[Jeb] Is there anything else I should be doing for him??

[CP] - Just keep doing what you've been doing, my wife's flowers will keep his pain to a minimum and will keep him cooler

[Jeb] Understood.. sir.

[HG] -weakly waves goodbye-

[CP] Creates a new opening- Come on Lie

[Lie] Follows CP through the opening-

[Doc] Is waiting by hirself-

[Lie] - Well, HG is taken care of now

[Doc] Good.

[Deer] In chat- Doc, they're back...

[Doc] Goes still - She says they're here...

[CP] - What do you want me to do?

[Doc] Come with me? Your abilities are rather unique. Lie? Can you come as well? You are another native after all.

[Lie] - Sure, lead the way

[Doc] The spawn is probably best, it is the central hub of the seed. I actually find it easier to get in and out there.

[CP] - Well if you don't get a move on, then we may lose our quarry

[Doc] Okay, let's go- Takes off running-

[CP] Picks up Lie and follows-

[Doc] Is taking coordinates from Deerheart as xe heads for the hub-

[Lie] - I'm really curious about who these people are...

[CP] - Probably some idiots who lost their seed

[Doc] Makes a hole near the last blip and looks around-

-A small figure darts out of sight-

[Doc] Eyes narrow, the light gives hir away a bit- Over here!-

[CP] Steps through and puts Lie down, scanning their surroundings- Did you see what it was?

[Doc] No! Just something small and fast- Xe closes the hole behind them-

-There's a brief sound of footfalls to their left-

[Doc] Points and heads after the noise-

[CP] Surges ahead, his hunting instincts kicking in as he disappears ahead of them into the darkness-

[Doc] Races after him-

[??] - HEY! LET ME GO YOU BIG MEANIE!

[CP] Can be heard laughing-

[???] There's a shimmer in front of him and a fist connects with Cp's jaw-

[CP] - Fuck! - He reaches out to grab whoever punched him

-The surface under him goes frozen and slippery and Doc barrels into Cp from behind from falling on it-

[CP] Falls and looses his hold on his original quarry-

[Lie] Carefully joins them-

[Doc] Is struggling to hir feet but losing traction on the ice- What the fuck?!

[CP] Gives off a burst of heat, melting the ice- GET OFF!

[Doc] I'm trying! - Gets up - Did you see it? What was it?!

[CP] - Looked like a bald little kid...

[Lie] - Bald?

[Doc] A kid? Out here?

[??] From a distance away- I'M NOT A LITTLE KID!

[Doc] The fuck?

[Lie] - What should we do?

[CP] - Leave em?

[Doc] Calls out- Who are you? Why do you keep hanging out near our server?

[??] - Why do you care you big meanie!

[Doc] Because we take in people that need help!

[??] - Pbbbbbbt!

[Doc] Um...

[???] There's a whisper of a cold breeze and a tall figure is briefly visible behind Doc and then gone again.

[Lie] Yelps having sensed the figure as she turns around- What was that!?

[??] - Don't worry! I'll protect you!

[Doc] Grabs hir arms in the sudden chill-

[CP] Turns up his heat-

[Doc] Scoots close to Cp, unnerved-

-There's the sound of more running feet, as if trying to get closer to where Lie is-

[Doc] Is casting around in the darkness and pulls out a torch to see a bit better-

-They briefly see a tattered, torn, and filthy brown tunic before it retreats back into the darkness-

[Doc] ....

[???] a hand reaches out and pulls Doc violently away from Cp's side, they stumble and yelp in fear at the icy touch.

[Lie] - Doc!- She feels something pull her as well, dragging her away in her surprise

[Doc] Is shaking as xe tries to wrestle out of the grip of someone who seems even larger then Cp. The hands let go suddenly and xe falls with a gasp, the torch guttering and going out. Xe screams at the sight of two black beady eyes-

[CP] Growls in anger and spawns a large ring of fire around the group, starting it off far and then dragging it inwards-

[Lie] Looks down to see what was dragging her was a child wearing only a tunic which had seen much better days, in the light of her mates fire she can see the child's ribs. The child looks up to reveal black eyes as well-

[Doc] Is staring up at a very tall NOTCH with a grim expression. The figure is wearing an iron helm and boots and a tattered cape of cold blue.

[CP] - The fuck is going on!? Why are there two NOTCH's!? And why the fuck is one of them a kid!?

[DN] I've been looking for you...

[Doc] Me-me-why?!

[CN] - Both of you actually!

[Lie] Gives a worried look towards Doc-

[Doc] What do you want with us?!

[CP] - Hey little spawn, let go of my wife!

[DN] System check Doctor. You two are new Herobrines. We are your NOTCHs.

[Lie] - Oh... Oh dear...

[CP] - How about you both just fuck off?

[CN] - Go away you big meanie!

[DN] We cannot. Our purpose is bound to theirs.

[Doc] Oh crap....

[Lie] - Damnit, we should have expected this, Markus told us that when a new brine is found a NOTCH forms in response...

[DN] We merely want access.

[CP] - Fuck off before I delete you!

[CN] Pulls out a wooden sword- Just try!

[DN] No.

[Doc] What are your intentions for us?

[CN] - To protect her

[CP] Barks out a laugh-

[DN] Stays quiet-

[Doc] You're not going to go away are you? Even if we fight you?

[DN] Shakes his head slowly-

[CP] - I'll fight em

[DN] We belong where you are.

[Lie] - What'll we tell TLOT?

[Doc] I guess they're sort of our responsibilities...

[CN] Thumbs over a rabbit paw tied to his belt along with some chicken feathers-

[DN] Fixes on Lie- The little one should not be out in the void.

[Lie] - Ah, well no...

[CP] - He is not staying with us! Maybe one of the other NOTCH's will take him

[CN] - I'm not leaving her!

[DN] Young as he is, his mission is to defend his brine. He won't be easily swayed from it.

[CP] - From what!? There's no real threat to her!

[CN] - But there's you...

[CP] - I'M HER MATE!

[Doc] What is... your intention?

[DN] I have not... decided yet. For now, I exist merely to balance you.

[CP] - Can I punch the brat yet?

[Lie] - CP!

[DN] You punch him and you'll have me to contend with....

[CP] - Pretty sure I can take you

[DN] Vanishes -

[Doc] Scrabbles backwards in fear-

[CP] Is scanning their surroundings-

[CN] Snickers-

[DN] Gut punches Cp with a fist sheated in ice and steps back again-

[CP] Grunts and bends over a little- You fucker!- He erupts in flames

[DN] Stays visible but his flesh turns an unhealthy shade of pale blue-

[Lie] Tries to step around CN but the young NOTCH won't let her- Please let me pass

[CN] - No! He'll just hurt you

[Lie] - No he won't, he's my husband

[DN] Readies himself for whatever the fire brine wishes to try-

[CP] Charges at DN, summoning his sword only to hesitate when he see's the scarf made of his wife's hair wrapped around the blade-

[DN] Sweeps a hand at his feet and turns the ground to slightly wet ice-

[CP] A cloud of steam erupts around CP from the hotness of his flames meeting the ice, effectively hiding him-

[DN] Sends a volley of icecicles like knifes into the steam -

[Doc] Crys out as one of them hits hir in the leg-

[Lie] - Stop that!

[DN] Backs off seeing that Doc got hurt-

[CP] Surges forwards, swinging his pick low to take the legs out from under the NOTCH-

[DN] Vanishes again and reappears near Doc-

[Doc] Is focused on being hotter to melt the spine of ice quicker.

[Lie] Gets around CN finally and rushes into the steam to get to CP-

[CP] Doesn't realize it's his wife at first and swings his pick in the direction of the sound only to stop inches from Lie's body-

[Lie] - Shhhh, it's okay, I'm here...

[CN] - No! Stay away from him!

[DN] Looks down at Doc long enough to see they aren't seriously injured and returns his attention to the tableau the others have created-

[CP] Lowers his pick as Lie put's her hands on his arms- That was stupid of you

[Lie] - I know, but what you're doing now is pointless- She pulses out a bit of her power and healing flowers spring up near Doc

[Doc] Presses some against the puncture wound - Thanks.. urgh...

[CN] - NO! Stay away from him!

[Lie] - That's enough! In the past he may have been a threat to me but I can assure you my husband is not now!

[CN] - But... But...

[Lie] - No buts!- Her expression softens- Now please, calm down

[DN] Picks Doc up roughly and sets them on their feet.

[Doc] Xe stumbles and growls at the huge NOTCH

[DN] Have we finished this wretched fighting?

[Lie] - Well, I doubt my husband will ever be finished, but yes

[Doc] Staggers a bit-

[CN] Huffs and crosses his arms- But DN! What are we gonna do!?

[DN] We will be admitted one way or another.

[Doc] Hangs hir head. - Okay... Deerheart said you belonged, and she was correct... Lie. They're ours. They have nowhere else to go.

[Lie] - Doc... Should we give TLOT a heads up?

[Doc] I'll tell him...

[CP] - I could tell hm

[Lie] - I'm suspicious of you volunteering...

[Doc] It's not something I'd push off on someone else. I suspected that I would not yet have a NOTCH because I'm incomplete - points at hir still visible green eyes. - But this is undeniable.

[CP] Grumbles- But I wanna see his fear...

[Doc] You want to tell him Cp?!

[CP] - I think it would be funny, besides, wouldn't it be better for him to know BEFORE their names pop up in the chat log?

[Doc] Gestures vaguely-

[CP] - I'll take that as a yes- He creates an opening and hops back through to spawn before shouting very loud mentally- OI TLOT! GET YOUR ASS TO SPAWN!

[Lie] Just sighs as CN comes up next to her-

[CN] - Don't worry, I'll keep all the meanies away

[Lie] - The thought is very much appreciated

[TLOT] -Over chat- Fuck off Cp! I'm busy!

[CP] - You should really be here! It has to do with Doc and Lie! And I suppose in a way your partially responsible for this because you turned them into brines!

[TLOT] Frustrated noises-

[CP] - Just get your ass over here! I'm at spawn!

[TLOT] No! Dammit! I don't trust you that this is an emergency!

[CP] Scowls and teleports to TLOT-

[TLOT] Is basically standing on the bed, balls deep in Steve and it's obvious this isn't the first time they've fucked today. Neither see Cp since he's behind them and Steve can only see the ceiling and the back of his own eyelids as he's plowed.

[CP] - FUCKERS!- Quickly turns around- ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS!?

[TLOT] What the nether...? GET OUT OF HERE CP!

[Steve] Whimpers because TLOT paused to yell at Cp-

[CP] - YOU FUCKER THIS IS IMPORTANT! DOC AND LIE DISCOVERED THEIR NOTCH'S!

[TLOT] Goes stiff and there's a poof of bedrock fog as he turns into a small yellow cat and dashes under the bed-

[Steve] DAMMIT CP.

[CP] - PUT SOME DAMN PANTS ON!

[Steve] FUCK YOU! THIS IS MY ROOM, NOT YOURS!

[CP] - You do realize these NOTCH's are coming onto the seed, right? We will have more NOTCH's here!

[TLOT] Very smalll noise from under the bed- nope.

[CP] - You don't get to nope this TLOT!

[Steve] Tries to get up, but his legs are basically jelly from being fucked and ends up on all fours-

[TLOT] Why can't we put them on the sub-seed?!

[CP] - They refuse to do that, Doc's insists that they have to be with their proper brines

[Steve] Is just swearing, his body is aching and it's nearly painful. He chucks a slimeball at Cp in frustration-

[TLOT] WHHHHHY????

[CP] Feels it hit his back and harden- FUCKER! AND I DON'T KNOW WHY!

[TLOT] Yowls.

[Steve] Is trying to block both of them out and finish himself off. There's a slapping noise as he fapps-

[CP] - I CAN HEAR YOU! AND ARE YOU SERIOUSLY DOING THAT RIGHT NOW!?

[Steve] FUCK YOU CP! YOU WOULDN'T GET IT ANYWAY. HE'S BEEN SLOW TEASING ME FOR AN HOUR AT LEAST-

[CP] - I DON'T CARE!

[Steve] THEN FUCK OFF!

[TLOT] Still yowling-

[CP] - ONLY IF TLOT COMES WITH ME TO SPAWN! I know Doc could use his presence at least...

[TLOT] NO.

[CP] - Are you sure? Doc is pretty terrified right now and you know you're closer to them then I am

[TLOT] I'M TERRIFIED TOO, THIS IS A TERRIBLE IDEA.

[Steve] Comes and slumps over-

[CP] - NO SHIT SHERLOCK!

[TLOT] THEN WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?!

[CP] - BECAUSE I DON'T THINK WE HAVE A CHOICE!

[TLOT] AAAAARRRGH

[CP] Scowls and turns around, ignoring Steve as he drops down and drags TLOT out from under the bed- COME ON YOU ASSHOLE!

[TLOT] Scrabbles at the floor with his claws. The space is too small to change back in.

[CP] Yanks him out- I WILL BREAK YOUR BEDS!

[TLOT] Turns into a ball of claws and loud yowling-

[CP] - REALLY!? YOU'RE PULLING THIS SHIT!?

[Steve] HE'S HAVING A PANIC ATTACK YOU MORON!

[CP] - YOU'RE HIS MATE! CALM HIM DOWN!

[Steve] ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING?! HIS MIND IS A MESS BECAUSE HE'S TERRIFIED!

[CP] - Oh for fucks sake- He concentrates and forces his way into TLOT's mind

[TLOT] Shoves him back out with a wall of screaming and pure nonsense-

[CP] Get's frustrated and throws TLOT into the lava pool-

[TLOT] Lands with a splat and sinks-

[Steve] YOU ASSHOLE-

[TLOT] Curls up in the warmpth as it soothes and heals him, changing him back to his true form-

[CP] Reaches in and yanks him up- You done yet?

[TLOT] Throws a handful of lava at Cp's face as his arm pops painfully at the shoulder from being dragged up by it- Fuck you.

[CP] - Are you ready to go?

[TLOT] Is still naked- Do I look like I'm fucking ready?!

[CP] - THEN FUCKING GET DRESSED! THE LONGER WE TAKE THE MORE LIKELY SOMETHING MIGHT HAPPEN TO MY MATE!

[TLOT] Still looks scared - THEN PUT ME DOWN!

[CP] Drops TLOT-

[Steve] Is obviously spent but manages to toss his clothes that were laying by the bed.

[TLOT] Angrilly gets dressed, trying to conceal how nervous he is-

[CP] Taps his foot impatiently before grabbing TLOT and tp'ing to spawn-

[TLOT] Cusses Cp out with his helm in one hand and cloak in the other-

[CP] Creates an opening, praying his wife is still there-

[Doc] Limps inside-

[DN] Follows hir like an imposing shadow-

[TLOT] Takes one look at the huge NOTCH and it's everything in him not to run away.

[Lie] Follows the other two and heads straight for CP as CN follows her-

[CN] - Whoa- He's looking around, a bit awed

[Doc] Closes the opening before sitting on the ground again-

[DN] Fixes on TLOT, his stare is icy. - You are the one. I can tell by your code. The brine who makes other brines. Interesting....

[Lie] Presses a bit closer to CP who wraps his arms around his mate-

[TLOT] Musters up his courage. - This is... this is a peaceful seed. We don't want any trouble.

[DN] Says nothing-

[Doc] Is nearly healed and works hir way to standing. -No griefing and no stealing. Will you abide by our rules?

[CN] - What's griefing?

[TLOT] It's vandalisim. Breaking other peoples things and hurting them for the purpose of making them sad.

[DN] What a Herobrine was born to do...

[Lie] - Not all of us...

[Doc] We don't do that here.... This is a place for brines...

[Mb] Is storming down the hill with a sword in either hand and Celine clinging to his head-

[CN] Notices CP's arms around Lie- NO! Get away from her!- He runs up to CP with his wooden sword and starts whacking CP's legs

[CP] Scowls in great irritation-

[Doc] Mb... Don't.

[MB] Snarls at the NOTCHs- Why are they here?!

[DN] Points at Doc- Because this brine is whom I was generated for.

[MB] Fuck you! That's my prey to terrify!

[DN] I think not...

[Honedge] Moves to CP's other leg to block CN's sword-

[MB] Gently set's Celine on TLOT's head and squares off with the NOTCH-

[TLOT] Mb....

[CN] - No fair!

[CP] There's a twitch of a smile on CP's lips for Honedge's actions-

[Celine] Tries to climb up higher to get a better view-

[DN] Moves like lighting to strike at Mb-

[Mb] Spilts into three and goes after the NOTCH with equal vigor-

[DN] Is using ice-coated fists to pummel Mb -

[Mb] Is whacking at DN with his swords but it's like trying to cut packed ice with a spoon -

[CP] - MB! Best tool for ice is a pick!

-The area they're fighting in is quickly becoming a mess of ice, mud and blood-

[Celine] Whack's TLOT in the face with her tail-

[Mb] Switches one sword for a pick and swings it at DN, sticking it in his thigh-

[TLOT] Staggers around holding his eye- FUCK!

[CP] Snickers-

[Lie] Spawns healing flowers-

[DN] Punches Mb's clones so hard they explode-

[Doc] I want to help... but..fucking hell...

[CN] Is whining because he can't hit CP with Honedge there-

[Mb] Is trying to choke DN as the two of them roll on the ground-

[TLOT] Grabs a handful of the flowers and holds them over his blacked eye-

[Celine] Chirps-

[Doc] Cp.... any chance you could knock them both out with your dream thing?

[CP] - Gladly- He focuses his power and not only hits MB and DN, but CN as well

[Doc] Thank you....

[TLOT] Moves Celine to his arms and holds her gently-

[CP] - So... What are we gonna do with these two?

[Doc] I don't know...

[TLOT] Put them on the sub seed with the others?

[Lie] - They won't like that...

[Doc] The alternative is just keeping them here.

[Lie] - Mine is just a child...

[CP] - A very annoying one

[TLOT] You've got them trapped Cp. You talk to them. Though you can probably let Mb out.

[CP] - Do I have to?

[Doc] Yes. He's an asshole but Celine needs him, and at least we know he'll fight any hostile NOTCH's that get in.

[CP] Sighs but releases MB-

[Celine] Chirps happily-

[MB] Leaps up and kicks DN for good measure.

[Mb] Is battered and bloody but defiantly sticks his hands out to TLOT for his dragon-

[Celine] Squirms happily and jumps towards him, grappling for a hold on his shirt and digging claws in-

[Mb] Winces but holds the baby tenderly-

Cutie Reviews: Tokyo Treat 19 July 2017

Welcome cuties, to another Tokyo Treat review ♥ As you can see, we’re in for a festive, summery theme!

I’d also like to take a moment to apologize for my lateness. As excited as I was for this review I’ve been busy these past few days with some errands and travel. But I’m back and ready to write!

How are you enjoying your summer for the time being~?

Here are the special Lucky Treat items for the month ♥ see anything you like? I really like the pokemon and Vocaloid stuff like usual, but I’m in love with the Gelee Parfait ꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡ it looks so colorful and yummy~

As usual, I like to start with the non-edible, not covered in this post, etc items. Here we have the drink of the month, along with the DIY kit I’ll do in a separate post, and two food items.

I know, you’re probably wondering “cutie-chan, those are foods! So why are they here??“

Well curious Cutie, that’s because they are previously covered items. If you read this blog then you should recognize them. I covered them in this blog post. So I don’t think I should waste space to cover them twice when I gave them full reviews in a prior box. Although I will point out these were both destroyed beyond recognition. Still edible, but mangled.

The Umaibo was broken up and nearly dust, while the buttercream cake was smashed Σ(゜ロ゜;) Which didn’t happen last time...

So yes, if you haven’t already and you want review on these check out that past blog post. My feelings haven’t really changed.

Anyway, we also got the DIY Shakeable Magic Jelly and a Kiwi Fanta +E, a drink that is part of the Japanese +Vitamin series. There are 3 kiwi worth of vitamins in this bottle, equaling 1/2 the daily amount recommended, and it is a summer limited edition flavor ♥ It’s a tasty, healthy soda that reminds me of light kiwi x acidic fizzy apple.

I’ll be rating it 3.5 out of 5. The flavor is good, it took a few sips to get used to it but it’s not bad. What bothers me is that I feel like my mouth and throat get really dry with each sip. For something that is advertised as refreshing, I’m not sure that should be happening? Especially in summer, when you need to stay hydrated!

This adorable neko is our Special Premium Item is for this months crate, it was love at first sight for me I assure ◟(◔ั₀◔ั )◞ ༘♡

This is the Squishy Cat, a super-soft little squeeze toy with the texture and pull of pudding (which is what I named mine cause look at him). It’s made of a very bouncy rubber or silicone I assume, and there are 5 varieties in total: A calico, cream, grey with spots, this one, and an angry black kitty that looks so sweet~

This is an overachieving 100 out of 5! I can’t even begin to describe how amazing this little cutie is! The paint job is a tiny bit messy in some spots, but I adore this too much to care. I love setting him out next to me and giving his belly a little poke when I get frustrated or bored. I also like how photo-genic this little guy can be.

I know, it looks like a lot, but it’s just 3 items. In order we got the Summer Annual Coconuts Pocky; a special summer pocky perfect for a beach day- or if you just like coconut. Which I actually don’t. This is essentially a thicker chocolate pocky covered in coconut shavings- and all you taste is coconut. I’d give it a 2.5 to 3 out of 5. It’s not because I hate it, but it’s not very special either. It’s not a mind-blowing perfect combination of chocolate and coconut either. But to be fair, I’m not obsessed with pocky, so if I liked them more I might have had better opinions.

Next is the Mugikko Chocolate Barley Puffs, which are barley puffs covered in chocolate. Now, if you never had a barley puff before, it’s essentially a puffy textured little kernel or oat with an odd taste 3 out of 5. The packaging is darling ♥ but if you don’t like barley I don’t think the chocolate coat is enough to save it. They also don’t look very appetizing; they look more like... well, if you have a pet rodent or rabbit you might get the idea.

Lastly in terms of chocolate we have these cute Pikachu Shaped Chocolate Puff, these are essentially like any other puffed snack you get in these containers. It has the same texture, but the only thing to change is the shape, flavor, and theme.

As you can see I got a Lapris sticker, and I like lapris, but my favorite will forever be Vulpix ♥ The flavor is chocolate, and these are shaped like Pikachu’s head. I do like these snacks, but a general problem I find with all of them is that the second they are opened, their quality goes down- a lot quicker than most corn puff snacks I noticed. 4 out of 5. I’m kind of getting tired of seeing these...

As you can see, the sweet snacks aren’t done just yet~

This month, we get some unusual Mini Watermelon Choco Chips. Way back in December when I got my first box we got regular choco chips, so I was surprised to see this brand again. I love chocolate chips though so I’m not complaining! I never had a watermelon flavored cookie though so this was pretty interesting.

You taste the chocolate chip, and you get the strong taste of watermelon too. Ironically the description explains that they put real watermelon juice into the dough, but it sort of tastes artificial to me. But again I have no problem because I love watermelon candy ♥ Also returning is Bourbon, with their Petit Pineapple Biscuit, perfect for summer and snacking on the go.

They come on a cute little plastic tray and if you like Pineapple you will love this. I like pineapple, and cookies/biscuits, but I’m still getting used to the unusual fruits being put into them. If I really had to choose between these and he watermelon cookies, I guess I liked them both about the same. They would both get a 4 out of 5.

Last but not least, we have the One’s Bar Salty Vanilla Chocolate. It looks like a kit-kat, it feels like a kit-kat; but it’s not a kit-kat. These are solid bars of chocolate made from vanilla beans in Madagascar and rock salt from Lorraine.

It tastes exactly like vanilla ice cream and salt... or you could say sea salt ice cream, because I made that when I was little and it tasted exactly like this. 5 out of 5. The flavor is strong, you get the perfect blend of salty x sweet~

The sweets continue to flow with these fun, colorful snacks ♥

First is one of the dagashi treats, a Fruits Doughnut. The top has 2-split flavors with sugar and a white bottom. I actually couldn’t identify the flavors very well, surprisingly. The orange side tasted like orange-tangerine, while the reddish side was like... cherry-strawberry-apple? 3.5 out of 5. It was good, but very chewy.

Next is this fun little sweet, Chameleon Candy. It starts out as a brown sphere (that tastes like a light cola-lemon-sugar flavor) then slowly the color and shell dissolves within minutes into a smaller sphere with a fruit taste. There are 4 fruits, and so far I got 3 out of 4 of them: yellow, which was lemon, pink, which tasted like strawberry or peach, and green, which was green apple. There is also a purple one, which I assume is grape. I like candies like this, so I’d definitely give it 5 out of 5.

We also got some Melon Cream Soda Candy! I love melon, and cream soda; and these taste exactly like a lollipop I like. I’m a little picky with melon candy- but I like these! They’re sweet and refreshing, even if you don’t like the taste of melon candy or cream soda, you might change your mind with these. 5 out of 5.

Lastly is this exciting item, the Awawawawa Puccho Ball - Soda. I love soda-flavored candies and treats, and what makes these special is that they are coated in a foamy, fizzy powder that dissolves as it resides in your mouth, then within the candy sphere is a chilling paste. It’s the perfect combination for any soda lover, or someone who likes a little excitement ;3 5 out of 5!

Finally, we make it to the savory items of the crate! I’ll start with the Dagashi item (the little white bag), because I actually had no idea what these things were. They look like pieces of cereal and were crunchy, but not hard. They tasted like salt and pork rinds to me. I’ll give them a 4.5 out of 5. They weren’t bad, but... what were they, is what I want to know ｢(ﾟﾍﾟ)

Next to it is the Dagashi item of the crate, Savory Shrimp Rice Crackers. I’ve expressed this before, but I’m not big on shrimp or fishy things (except for sushi, I know). But I do like rice-anything, so I decided to remain optimistic- which earned them a 5 out of 5! These are crispy and the flavor isn’t overpowering in the slightest bit. They were fairly addicting, and I finished them days, if not a week after opening them and the quality didn’t lessen even a bit. Which I like in a snack since I’m not the type to finish them in one-go, unless I’m really hungry.

Here we have our last treat and a real winner in the bunch, the Crunchy Corn Snack by Ginbis. I’ve said this before- but I really like corn, and I’m sure some of you Cuties remember my love of the corn umaibo. Ironically I was worried about this snack though, because it looks like the snack Mix piece I don’t like, as well as the asparagus chocolate snacks I didn’t like from a few boxes back...

THANKFULLY, this was an exception! ( •̀ᄇ• ́)ﻭ✧ You can’t even begin to realize how relieved I was because I had high hopes for this snack. I will admit, it is crunchy-hard, but I had no problem eating them. The flavor tastes wonderful- like grilled corn with a slight sweetness. I’d give this an eternal 100 out of 5!

♥ Cutie Ranking ♥

Quality - 3 out of 5. The box wasn’t bad or anything- but 2 items were repeats from a box I just got, and they were in terrible shape. I know they can’t be accounted for this, but it doesn’t change my opinion. Everything else was perfectly fine though.

Content - 3.5 out of 5. I did have a couple items I was obsessed with sure, but nothing really wowed me, you know?

Total Rank: 6 out of 10 Cuties. This probably ranked the worst out of every Tokyo Treat box I got, maybe. Again, it wasn’t bad at all, it had a few mishaps but nobody is perfect. Nothing excited me though, except maybe 1 item.

♥ Cutie’s Scale of Yummy ♥

1. Crunchy Corn Snack - I think I explained myself above~

2. Teriyaki Umaibo - I explained why I went crazy for this in the prior review.

3. Awawawawa Puccho Ball Soda - Very fun and tasty!

4. Melon Cream Soda Candy - Deliciously sweet~

5. Shrimp Rice Crackers - Addictive!

6. Chameleon Candy - I like surprises like this, and they’re sweet. Despite it’s medium-small size it lasted a good while too.

7. ?????? - Still no idea what those were, but they were tasty.

8. Salty Vanilla Chocolate - It’s listed as gourmet and while I’m not sure while I would call it that, it is delicious.

9. Watermelon Choco Chips - Again I like watermelon, and chocolate chip cookies~

10. Pineapple Biscuits - I like pineapple, and the flavor is very strong!

11. Kiwi Fanta - I didn’t have any problem with it, but the flavor is a bit swing or miss. I still didn’t like the dry-ness left in my mouth.

12. Pikachu Chocolate Puff - Again, I’m kinda tired of seeing these now. They are very yummy fresh though.

13. Fruits Doughnut - *shrug* It was okay, kinda chewy.

14. Buttercream Cake - It’s pretty bland, but soft and fluffy~

15. Chocolate Barley Puffs - Interesting, but not remarkable.

16. Coconut Chocolate Pocky - I don’t like coconut and they didn’t really impress me or make me reconsider.

Okay Cuties, that does it for another review! I hope you enjoyed yourselves, I apologize for not being very informative or anything, but I can only figure out so much on my own. I still have the Kawaii Box, Doki Doki, and Kira Kira crates to cover, and I will get to them soon, I promise. Until next time, stay cute!

"The Bad Trainer, The Mammoth Ride, Arden and Splender”

-The figure gets clearer and it's obviously a pokemon trainer, he has a garbage bag tied to his waist-

[Doc] What? Can't I play my part as a dragon to the hilt now and again? I have a fair and naked maiden and a baby to defend.

[Sweet Alex] Oh, it's someone helpful. Good job.

[gem] -swims over to her pokemon and start petting them and giving them berries-

-The trainer scowls at the group before noticing the vulpix in Lie's arms in his arms-

[Trainer] - Where did you get that vulpix?

[Herabrine] Why is it any of your business?

[Trainer] - Because that's my Vulpix... Give it back!

[AVulpix] Growls-

[gem] if it's your then how did she catch it

[Doc] Cranes hir head over near the human. - Nope. Push off. I remember you.

[trainer] Takes a step closer- Give me my pokemon!

[AVulpix] Opens their mouth and blasts off a burst of ice which creates a sheet between it and the trainer-

[Doc] Uses the tip of hir snout to give him a shove - Get lost.

[Trainer] Throws a punch at Doc-

[Doc] Is punched but doesn't move. - That's all you've got? I think you're out of your league buddy.

[Herabrine] That's a gentle puff of air compared to Cp I'm sure

[gem] -growls- if she was able to catch it that mean you let it go which mean it's not yours anymore now get lost before you do something you will regret

[Lie] - Leave, this pokemon was taken from you because you abandoned it!

[Sky] Can I eat him? -Bored tone of voice-

[gem] that's my job

[Alexsezia] You can do the huge mouth thing like the normal Enders Sky? That's kinda terrifying.

[Sky] If I want to, definitely. Feels a bit weird but probably looks weirder. Kinda like unhinging your jaw, but.. Excessively.

[gem] and I have a jaw that can break though any bones try me trainer or should I say former trainer

[Doc] I don't know how this game would handle someone actually dying....

[Alexis] - Go away kid, adults are having relaxing time

[Doc] But I'm still pissed at you for trying to cook your poor Feebus.

[Trainer] - It was a worthless fish!

[Doc] You're the one that's worthless.

[gem] no pokemon is useless

[Alexis] - My boyfriend rather likes it

[Sweet Alex] And he actually takes care of his pets. You're a meanie head.

[Herabrine] Rolls her eyes- you tell em Alex...

[Deer] - Leave or we'll call Officer Jenny

[Sky] Or I'll eat you, if she's not fast enough. -grin-

[gem] sky that's my job

[Sky] You're not the only one who eats people, Gem

[Alexsezia] Look kid, we're nobody you want to tangle with. Just walk away.

[Trainer] Growls but turns around and storms off-

[gem] true

[Doc] Jerk. Fuck people who are mean to animals, honestly.

[Lie] Gently cradles the vulpix-

[gem] I am more confused how he was so chill with a dragon in his face

[Sky] Probably dragon like animals here?

[Deer] - Well considering all the different types of creatures here...

[Doc] But they usually don't talk...

[Lie] - Who cares, at least he's gone now

[Sky] True, true.

[gem] exactly that and my looks well I have never seen any Pokémon that even closely looks like me

[Alexsezia] How is Feebas anyway Alexis? Learned any moves yet?

[Alexis] - It usually just swims around in it's little pond, sometimes it splashes

[Herabrine] Maybe they get visitors from other games rather frequently here? We're not the only digital entities in the multiverse.

[Doc] I thought the splash was a move? Or is it flail? Silver told me about a weird type of orange fish pokemon that evolves into a gigantic sea serpent. Just go's to show you never know what experince can turn someone into.

[Alexis] - True

[AVulpix] Is sliding around on the ice before it melts-

[gem] doc your thinking of magikarp

[Doc] That's it! I saw a picture online, it looks so silly. I would never have guessed.

[Deer] Sinks lower into the water again-

[Yaunfen] Yawns-

[Sweet Alex] So how are our creepypasta pokemon trainers faring?

[Doc] Honestly I think Deerheart talks to them more then I do. Since she's home more often. Aww, you getting itred little one?

[gem] they are hard to train and is mostly a mockery because they only know splash which does nothing but I have seen someone beat the whole game with just one

[Sweet Alex] That's really inspiring Gem!

[Deer] - They seem to be okay, but I still can't really get through to Strangled...

[Sweet Alex] Maybe I should hug him too?

[Doc] You're such a perfect cinnamon roll, never change. - Xe pats Alex's head lightly with one paw.

[gem] this is why I said no pokemon is useless if the battle is failing it's because of the trainer

[Doc] I agree absolutlely. They just need love and attention and tons of exercise.

[Herabrine] Is that why you're up at the asscrack of dawn jogging with yours lately?

[Doc] It's mostly the Goomy. Keeps it from trying to fight everything and everyone.

[Lie] - Sits back down with a sigh- Good Vulpix's

[Serperior] -gets closer to the regular vulpix-

[Doc] I don't know what to do with Strangled. But at least he isn't destroying the house. He just hates my guts.

[Herabrine] He hates the rest of you too.

[Doc] Gee, thanks.

[RVulpix] Hides away in Lie's arms-

[Serperior] -tries to nuzzle regular vulpix-

[RVulpix] Whines, it's very skittish and scared-

[Doc] Gem, I think the little fox is scared of your giant snake...

[gem] come here Serperior -serperior comes over and she pets them-

[Doc] Silver was having a similar problem, his Zweilus and his Sylveon don't get along at all.

[Lie] - I don't think that's the case, I think it's just scared of everything, especially after everything it's been through

[Doc] No I mean, it might be type difference too? Do grass types get along with fire types?

[Lie] - I don't know

[Doc] Lifts Yaunfen easily in hir paws and sits back on hir haunches to cradle them - This game is so complicated. I keep meaning to read up on this but never get more then one or two articles in.

[Glitchy] -Actually happens to be passing by, Shiny pokemon in tow.- Fire types have a type advantage, but if the pokemon in particular know eachother they can get along, but the grass type might be wary. -softly.-

[Deer] - Glitchy? What are you doing here?

[Doc] Hey Glitchy! Come to replenish some PP?

[Glitchy] Just passing through? This kind of is part of my series... No, not today Doc. Just looking for a gift, is all.

[Lie] - A gift? For who?

[Glitchy] One for Strangled, another for Purin. I already picked one up for Silver. -scuffs heel a bit- I was thinking of picking up a few eevees for shits and giggles too.

This message has been removed.

[Lie] - Purin?

[Doc] How many Eevee types are there Glitchy?

[aven] speaking of pokemon aven was looking to catch one

[Alexsezia] What was she wanting to catch?

[Herabrine] Something that isn't a water type!

[aven] bagon

[Glitchy] Another pokepasta. -pause- ... Not sure if she actually still counts, honestly....

[Glitchy] Well, currently there's about 8. Of course if you count glitched, you could have a lot more. I have a full set but really keep Flareon most.

[Glitchy] Why?

[Doc] Why would they not count as a pokepasta?

[Glitchy] Well she ended up taking the place of someone in the next generation and stopped their shit, I liked her. She was pretty cool. Gave me a Lopunny.

[Doc] Oh, so she's an NPC in one of the games?

[Glitchy] Takes the place of one, yeah.

[Glitchy] Hard to explain, really. But yeah. -Waves hand a bit- I'm here to hunt down gifts. Probably going to hop to a different gen after this.

[gem] like which one?

[Yaunfen] Tries to climb farther up on Doc

[Glitchy] Gen 4. Or, I could do any of the games just after this one like Emerald, Fire red or Leaf green...

[Doc] Yeah, I feel you... - Xe clambers out of the water and lays across a large stone. Xe puts Yaunfen up a bit so they can crawl all over their parent to their hearts content.

[Yaunfen] Crawls up into Doc's mane to settle down-

This message has been removed.

[Yaunfen] Flops closer-

[Glitchy] Been meaning to check out the Ranger games too...

[Sneasel] -Walks over to Doc to look at hir, head tilted-

[Alexsisezia] What's Ranger?

[gem] I use to have the first pokemon ranger game

[Doc] Looks back at the pokemon - You're an odd little one.

[Glitchy] A different version of the games but with different mechanics. No pokeballs, but there's this little device that lets you temporarily befriend a pokemon. Sounds very inefficient, honestly.

[Sneasel] Snee. -Pats Doc's face-

[Doc] Good pokemon. Anybody got a berry?

[Sweet Alex] I like befriending critters, sounds like fun

[gem] I do -holds one out for doc to take-

[Doc] Thanks- Xe slides a paw over to pinch it in hir claws and offers it to the sneasel, which has much smaller, but much sharper claws of it's own.

[Sneasel] -Scrutinizes the berry a bit before taking it and popping it into it's mouth- -Approving nod, turns and returns to Glitchy-

[Glitchy] If you want to try it, I could probably hunt down a catridge and a system. I like using those first so I don't find a messed up game.. -Shudders-

[Sweet Alex] Messed up?

[Herabrine] You mean like BEN's haunted copy of Majora's Mask, don't you?

[BEN] Shudders a little as he's feeding Hyrule-

[Glitchy] In a way, yeah. My game was pretty fucked up too. Really badly damaged games make me.. very sick. My own game was really glitchy. Really, really glitchy.

[Doc] A little bad code is fine, too much is nauseating, I agree. I once made the mistake of taking pixels from a deteriorated game. I was really sick. Scared the fuck out of me. I was homeless and friendless at the time.

[gem] -sink to the bottem on the spring and lays there before starting to make planet necklaces again while below the water-

[Glitchy] Honestly, considering the state of my game, I'm lucky I'm solid and wasn't any worse off than my eyes...

[Doc] Aww. I would have fixed it for you. You know I live to mend broken pieces.

[Deer] Notices that Yaunfen is fast asleep and giggles a little-

[gem] -the first one she makes looks to small to be worn but looks like its made of stars- hmm -puts it on her head like a flower crown it fits perfectly-

[Doc] Has been fanning hir tail tip to dry the hair and puts the warm fluff over hir baby. There's a bit of a rumble as xe purrs softly.

[Lie] - Do you think the guys are okay?

[gem] -starts to make crowns and make a one that looks the planets look like flowers and come up quickly to put it on lies head before going back down-

[Lie] Is surprised by the sudden weight on her head-

[gem] -is making more at the bottom of the spring-

[Herabrine] We'll come back to them all worn out from drinking and fighting and sprawled all over the damn spawn.

[Lie] - Hopefully CP doesn't try anything

[Alexsezia] I'd be just as concerned with Mb....

[Lie] - Good point

[gem] -makes another that looks like fish and water drops and puts it on hera's head quickly before going back-

[Sweet Alex] Thankfully Gk is usually too busy playing with Endrea's babies to make mischef...

[Herabrine] What the Nether?

[Deer] - He certainly does love them

[Doc] Who knew he'd make such a fantastic uncle?

[Herabrine] Snorts- Unclebrine

[Glitchy] well, if that's all you've got to ask I should be going now..

[Lie] - Oh come on Hera, I bet if they could swim you'd play with them just as much

[gem] -makes one that looks like a bow and arrows and puts it on alexsezia's head-

[Doc] Glitchy? What do you do when your pokemon get burned? Is there something special?

[Alexsezia] That's weird... um, thank you Gem.

[Glitchy] A brn heal should work. Do you need one? I keep some on hand because flareon likes to burn everything .

[Doc] Yes please. In fact, if you can get me examples of the different healing medicines I'll trade or make you whatever you want for them.

[gem] your welcome -makes one that looks like it's made leaves and vines and put's it on deer's head-

[Deer] Giggles a little-

[gem] -makes one that looks like cookies and hearts and put's it on sweet alex-

[Glitchy] I couldn't accept anything, strangled would probably lose it. I'm already a filthy packrat as is. The bags are bigger on the inside so you can put shit like bikes in here. -starts taking out different potions, status healing things, and revives, handing one of each over while saying what they are for-

[gem] -makes one that looks like lighting and doctor crosses and puts it on doc-

[Doc] Thank you Gem. And if you're sure Glitchy. I can just make copies so I'm not leaving you poor for the giving. - starts clicking around-

[Glitchy] If I think of anything i could need I'll be sure to ask.

[gem] your welcome -makes a candy base one and put's it on yaunfen-

[BEN] Is rocking Hyrule- There, all fed and changed

[hyrule] dada wa-er baff

[BEN] - No, how about a horsie ride?

[hyrule] wa-er baff

[BEN] - How about the horsies?- Starts heading outside

[hyrule] baff

[BEN] - Horsies- He heads for the horse pen, the sight of the animals making his heart ache a little for Epona

[hyrule] baff

-A horse trots over to them and sniffs at Hyrule-

[BEN] - See? Look, a horsie

[hyrule] baff

[Nia] Comes out- BEN, it has been a couple days... And babies really should be bathed every day...

[BEN] Groans- Nia, I'm not giving him a bath

[hyrule] baff

[BEN] - No Hyrule, come on, let's get on the horsie- He enters the pen and carefully climbs onto the horse so as not to jostle his child

[hyrule] dada baff

[BEN] - Shhhh, no, now come on, I know you like to go fast- He urges the horse into a gentle trot

[hyrule] -is pulling at bens shirt- baff

[BEN] - Hyrule, no- They end up riding out past Lie's house and towards the village

[hyrule] baff

-There's a bit of a commotion as a giantic mammoth charges past BEN, there's someone clinging desperately onto it's back-

[BEN] Moves quickly to keep the horse under control- The fuck!?

- The mammoth turns and gives a light buck, kicking up it's giant feet as nimbly as a pony-

[BEN] Looks to see who's on it's back-

[Steve] Looks elated and determined with a clump of hair in each fist-

[BEN] - THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!?

-The mammoth stops suddenly and turns to BEN, it's eyes are bright as stars under the hair-

[BEN] - Don't you fucking dare I will not hesitate to drown you, you overgrown ball of fur!

[Steve] No! It's okay! He doesn't mean any harm!

[BEN] - Normally I'd be laughing my ass off over this, but you ALMOST RAN INTO US!

[hyrule] dada baff

[Steve] Sorry. We were just playing.

[Mammoth] Pats BEN's head with it's trunk tip-

[BEN] Growls at it-

[Steve] Just laughs - You want a turn?

[hyrule] -trys to reach up ad grab the trunk-

[BEN] - NO! I'm trying to take Hyrules mind off of things

[hyrule] baff

[Mammoth] Lets Hyrule play with the tip of it's trunk.

[Steve] Oh, is he stinky again?

[BEN] - No, he's not!

[Mammoth] Snuffles and draws back with a pained expression. - Chuff!

[hyrule] -takes the trunk and wiggles it back and forth-

[Mammoth] Eyes watering-

[BEN] - Come on Hyrule, let's keep riding

[Steve] Yeah.... that's stinky-

[hyrule] -lets go of the trunk- wa-er baff

[Mammoth] You really need to get used to the idea of bathing him...

[Steve] Agreed.

[BEN] Almost falls off of the horse- THE FUCK!?

[Mammoth] Big grin with huge square teeth. - Looks like I haven't lost my touch... Your face was priceless.

[BEN] - Fuck off

[Steve] You're just mad cause he suprised you.

[BEN] Glares-

[hyrule] dada

[BEN] Attention immediately on his son as he speaks more quietly- Yeah?

[hyrule] baff

[Steve] Okay.... we'll go. We just needed to blow off some steam. I'd stay out of the village for now.

[BEN] - What did you do?

[Mammoth] They need some space...

[BEN] - And no, Hyrule

[hyrule] baff baff

[Steve] We told them about what happened to our NOTCH, and that meant telling them about Markus...

[BEN] - And I wouldn't want to see this, why?

[Steve] There's not much to see. They kinda split up into quiet groups to discuss their feelings. It's pretty subdued.

[BEN] Grumbles- No fun there

[Mammoth] We're you expecting a full scale rebellion or something?

[BEN] - Something

[hyrule] -sees the pond aqua is in and points to it- wa-er

[Mammoth] They do trust me and Steve you know.

[BEN] - No Hyrule

[hyrule] wa-er

[BEN] - How about we try Lightning again?

[hyrule] -points again- wa-er

[Flicker] Wanders up, She has three tiny creepers in her arms- Lord? Father?

[BEN] - Light-ning

[hyrule] baff

[Mammoth] Oh... sure, hang on. - The mammoth curls down and reforms into TLOT with a bit of fog fading around his boots.

[Steve] Gets gingerly down from his shoulders.

[BEN] Watches with interest as he rocks Hyrule a little-

[Flicker] I can't speak for the others, but I'd like to meet this... Markus. And I could use a bit of a hand...

[Creepers] making lots of unhappy fizzing sounds.

[TLOT] Of course Flicker. On both counts. What's wrong with them?

[Flicker] Upset tummies. I think they snacked on something they shouldn't have but I don't know what it was.

[BEN] - Don't they only eat dirt?

[hyrule] baff

[Steve] I have one of Doc's basic healing potions... - Fumbles a bit for the bottle-

[TLOT] Well fertilizer... and dirt...

[BEN] Groans- Hyrule.... No.

[Steve] Helps Flicker tip a bit of the liquid into each of their tiny frowning faces.

[hyrule] baff

[Creepers] tis tis tis

[BEN] - Come on, let's keep riding Hyrule

[hyrule] baff baff

[BEN] - What can I give you that would make you stop saying that?

[hyrule] baff

[BEN] Facepalms-

[hyrule] wa-er baff dada

[BEN] - How about no?

[hyrule] baff baff

[Arden] Is pacing around the spawn with a small phone - Why are you telling me this now?! When I'm.... Out of town! And I can't do anything about it?

[Splender] Is taking Pinwheel on a walk and notices Arden and tilts his head at Arden-

[Arden] Yes I know, I'm sorry we haven't talked much apart from chat... my webcam has been.. broken.

[Splender] Steps closer quietly, keeping pinwheel out of striking distance of Arden-

[Arden] What do you mean I can't tell anyone... this is amazing! Yes, I'm aware you almost got killed....

[Arden] Oh... yeah, I guess that would be bad, but... okay... okay... dammit... You're killing me here Ever... No, I don't know when I'll be back.

[Splender] From behind Arden- Who are you talking to?

[Arden] Hang on... I'll... call you back... I need to think about this anyway... fucking hell... - clicks the phone shut and runs his fingers through his messy red hair. - Splender... he's just a friend. Someone I met online a few years ago...

[Splender] - What was he telling you? You're not as happy as usual...

[Arden] His.. girlfriend is into some really weird shit... fuck it, it can't hurt for you to know. She made some kind of monster and it burned their house down.

[Splender] - Oh dear, we should go help them then!

[Arden] There's nothing to help, they ran from it and left it in the dust. They're safely away but still... it's pretty horrible. Even though I know it was dangerous as hell... I almost wish I could have seen it...

[Splender] - Well... Would you like to see your friend?

[Arden] No, it's okay... we've never actually met in person. And I don't want to just pop out nearby. Somehow I don't think his girlfriend should know about all.. this... Especially if she's preforming exorcisims on herself.

[Pinwheel] Bites Splender's tendril-

[Splender] - Are you sure? It wouldn't be difficult at all...

[Arden] I think I'd be guilted into bringing them back here, and that would be bad...

[Splender] - Alright... You said one of them was performing exorcisms?

[Arden] Yeah... she had some kind of inhabiting spirits. She's been making shells and filling them with the unwanted visitors in her mind. I thought it was just a psychosis but.... Ever seemed so genuinely scared, and after everything I've seen....

[Splender] - What do these shells look like?

[Arden] Different things. Birds, human shapes, one's kind of like Lapras without the shell. They're like animal shaped bags.

[Splender] - Interesting... Can they talk?

[Arden] No. I think that was intentional...

[Splender] - Hmmm, oh well, either way, be happy. Sour emotions don't taste very good.

[Arden] I'm happy they're safe. Fuck, I'm happy I'm safe.

[Splender] Laughs a little- Zeke is always really happy when you're around, his happiness is thick and rich

[Arden] He is a really good friend. He's shown me such amazing things.

[Splender] - Stick with him and he could probably show you more, just, don't ever run from him,, promise?

[Arden] Run from him? Oh-okay...

[Splender] - Promise me Arden

[Arden] Is rather intimidated by Splenders earnestness - I-I promise...

[Splender] Gives off a burst of happy energy- Good! Now a promise is a promise so don't you dare go breaking it!

[Arden] Has a inadverdent flash of what Splender could do to him and swallows, - I wouldn't dare. Hey... um... I read something about your big brother and.. do you mind if I ask you a question about him?

[Splender] - Go right ahead!

[Arden] That old story about Slenderman taking peoples organs out and bagging them individually and then hanging the bags high in trees....? Was that actually him, or just a serial killer? And if it was him, why? Does Insanity get to him too sometimes?

[Splender] - Yes he does do that, either to scare any remaining victims or to act as a warning. You can only do the same thing for so long before you start trying to figure out ways to spice it up a bit. He doesn't do it as often anymore since he usually gives the organs to EJ now. Plus it made the humans super wary of the woods, wondering just what could do that

[Arden] Shivers- no shit... I thought it was partly to show how tall he is by putting something super out of reach without leaving ladder or tree climbing marks or broken branches.

[Splender] - What else would you like to know?

[Arden] Do I even want to know who Ej is and why he would want human organs?

[Splender] - EJ was originally human like you, he was a med student who was, as far as he can remember, sacrificed to some sort of cannibalistic god

[Arden] Oh... I have experience with paranormal stuff, not so much with creepypastas. What do you guys normally do when you encounter monsters? Is it just a live and let live thing?

[Splender] - Most will leave my brothers and I alone, and others learn that the other pasta's are under our protection and so will not mess with them, this includes the proxies as well

[Arden] Did you already know about the manwolves that attacked my group?

[Splender] - I believe Offender mentioned them, tore them apart and made sure none escaped... And then did his thing to them

[Arden] His thing...? Oh... No! I don't want to know! -shivers-

[Splender] - That's alright, I understand- He pats Arden on the head with a belled tendril

[Pinwheel] Bites at Slender twice in rapid succession-

[Pinwheel] Hisses at Arden-

[Splender] - Pinwheel no!
