ONGOING EVENT
EXPLORATION



MT. PYRE[break]✥ THE BORDER



[player]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1035423510278979624/1055281670649032755/bambooba.mp3[/player][break]
Northern Province - Area 2 (Riding) - Pokémon Scarlet & Violet
[break]

THE BORDER IS A MOUNTAINOUS PURGATORY OF MUTED SEPIA SMOKE. By floating islands, translucent bridges soar through the realm toward the heavens. Tall stone spires jut out from the spiritual mist. In the sky, the wisps of spirits can be seen heading toward their final destination before the afterlife...[break][break]

Curiously, there are four broken seals embedded in four mountains. Though Adrian Malcolm and YVELTAL may have seen their location upon their unceremonious entry, the spirit realm has shifted since their last visit, rendering each broken seal far apart from each other.

Stepping from one reality into the next really never did sit any easier with Beau, and he rubbed at his arms reflexively as The Border came into view once more. Like the last time, Torben was immediately behind him, and like the last time, Eddie was sure to follow through.
[break][break]
Unlike last time, however, Beau was not taken in by the ethereal beauty of the place, because he knew what it could do to a person. He'd been through it, and he absolutely could not convince himself that it was just his heebie-jeebies toward ghost-types.
[break][break]
Also unlike last time, he'd come prepared.
[break][break]
"Alright, brah, let's do this," he nods to Torben. The bear growls lowly in assent, and the pair make surprisingly quick work of navigating one platform over to the area he and Eddie had last scouted out - it appeared that the entrance didn't always drop them in the same place each time, which would have been enough to make his brain hurt, if he elected to think about it for too long.
[break][break]
Fortunately, he didn't, and instead unshouldered the hefty pack he'd brought with him and unrolled a crude but serviceably-sketched map of the areas they'd encountered thus far, grabbing a few loose stones from nearby to weight the corners down.
[break][break]
"Yo, man, me takin' off last time didn't go so hot, so what do you think we should start with?" he calls back to Eddie, a self-deprecating laugh coloring his words.

So far, the second trip seemed to be easier than the first. It helped that the two of them had some bearing of the place, having navigated some of the platforms and bridges on their previous venture, but it didn't do much to stop the vertigo that began to creep up every time they crossed from one rocky plateau to the next. Eddie was thankful when he saw Beau pause, stopping to put down his pack and check out the map of what they had surveyed so far, [break][break]

“Well, since we don't got any of those damn ghouls tailin' us at the moment, how about we stop and set up camp? Set us up a home base to come back to while we're out here.” [break][break]

Eddie took off his own pack, unclipping some hooks that held the roll his little pop-up tent was housed in, but he paused a moment to fish around for something in his rucksack. With a triumphant 'ah-ha!', Eddie produced a small baggie with a grin and tossed it to Beau, [break][break]

“Brought some stuff ta snack on!” he explained as he began to put the tent together that, as it turned out, was probably going to be too small for him, “If ya don't like teriyaki, I've got some hickory-flavored jerky, too.” [break][break]

The Tauros at his side, who had been watching his trainer begin to unpack his things with only vague interest, snorted incredulously. [break][break]

Beau nodded amenably, giving a little relieved sigh. While he wanted to press on - because he was absolutely not scared this time, no SIR - the idea of having a base camp was really a sound one, and if they could get better reporting this time around by being able to take more expeditions and have a relatively safe place to come back to, well, Beau didn't see any issue with that.
[break][break]
His eyebrows raised as he watched the other man begin to unload his supplies - was that a tent? Damn, he should have brought a tent - and blinked, catching the thrown object easily before he even looked at it to see what it was. His features immediately brightened, and he let out a whoop. "Heck yeah, dude, these are the NECESSITIES!" He took a piece of jerky out of the bag and chewed on it delightedly. "Just to make sure it's still good, y'know?"
[break][break]
Leaning down, he rummaged about in his own pack, drawing out several pieces of dry timber and a small plastic container. "Brought stuff t'start a fire just in case, but I don't even know if it gets dark in this place. Who knows, maybe it'll keep the monsters away." A neatly-rolled mat followed this, and Beau was doing a great job of mentally convincing himself that if it never got dark here, it might also never rain here, and so missing a tent wouldn't be the worst thing he'd ever done.
[break][break]
Coming to his feet, he went to stack the timber neatly on one side of the platform, then looked back toward his satchel. His shadow was still in his formerly crouched position, and when Beau caught sight of it, it gave him a little wave and dove into the shadow of his pack, vanishing from sight. Blinking, he looked down at his own feet to determine that he in fact was not casting a shadow of his own right now.
[break][break]
"Hey, uh, Eddie?" Beau inquired, speaking around the solid block of ice that felt lodged in his gut. "My shadow just, uh, jumped into my backpack. How's yours looking?"

Eddie had managed to get the tent well and properly set up, eyeing his work with satisfaction as he grabbed the other bag of jerky from his pack and took a bite. An errant chill raced up his arms, the hairs raised as he broke out into a fit of goosebumps. Huh, that was weird; it didn't feel that cold, [break][break]

“Sounds good to me,” Eddie called back, chewing on a bit of jerky thoughtfully. A warm fire sounded so cozy right about now, “Hell, I figure it might. That's how that kinda thing works in the movies, right?” [break][break]

It probably wasn't smart to apply movie logic to a place that posed some very real dangers, but hell, it's not like Eddie had any other point of comparison. He stooped down to shove the rest of the jerky back into his bag, only to catch a flicker of movement out of the corner of his eye. [break][break]

Standing back up, he noticed something dark pooled on the ground, warping and stretching as it danced across the rocky soil beneath him. It took Eddie a moment to realize exactly what it was, and even longer to realize that the shadow that was meant to be stretched out from under his feet had gone rogue. The inky blob sliding across the ground reformed into his own shape and waved at him with surprising congeniality, [break][break]

“He's gone AWOL, I think.” [break][break]

Another oddity of this place, Eddie thought, but not one he could do anything about. He waved back at the penumbral figure, only for it to flip him off in reply, [break][break]

“Hey, you rude little fucker!” Eddie barked with frustration as he stomped over. [break][break]

He tried to crush the shadow beneath his heel, only for it to dart away. Despite the featureless nature of the slippery silhouette, Eddie was convinced that the thing was delighting in this new game of shadow tag, [break][break]

“Get back here!” he fumed, stomping after his shadow only for it to dash away the moment he got close, “The hell do you think you're goin'?!”[break][break]

"Well, dang," Beau quipped upon hearing the other man's status. "Mine's either, like, in my pack or underneath it, I think." He eyed his supplies, squinting suspiciously, before determining that nothing untoward appeared to be disrupting his efforts further. Other than, you know, not currently having a shadow.
[break][break]
He watched Eddie tromp around for a little bit, then offered a shrug. "I kinda don't wanna touch it, because what if I have your shadow then? That would be kind of weird. But also kinda cool..." He trailed off for a moment, wistful. Then blinked. "Wait, no, it's your shadow," he declared.
[break][break]
"What if I help try and herd it toward you? Cut off its escape?" He moved experimentally, circling the platform opposite Eddie. When the little inky blob darted away from the older man, Beau jumped in front of it with a "RAH!", causing it to almost comically skid to a stop and veer back toward the other man at a sharp angle.

Eddie wished his own shadow had been polite enough to just vanish without any kind of fanfare, because this game of chase was really starting to wear him out. He stopped, panting with exhaustion as the shadow bowled over in pantomime laughter, and Eddie wiped the sweat from his brow as he considered Beau's offer of assistance, [break][break]

“I'd appreciate it,” he admitted with some frustration. [break][break]

Eddie watched as Beau circled around the platform, the shadow still far too distracted by it's own mirth to notice. Perfect. The older man lunged toward the shadow, sending it darting away with glee as the game began again. It glided across the ground with ease, only to jolt as Beau leapt into it's path. [break][break]

Now it was Eddie's turn to laugh. He could have sworn he almost heard a palpable yelp from the shadow as it darted back to him, sliding under his feet to return exactly where it belonged. Eddie strode over, shoulders still shaking as the laughter subsided to chuckles, and clapped a hand onto Beau's shoulder, [break][break]

Beau punched the air, beaming broadly as Eddie reunited with his wayward shadow. "Yeah, brah, you did it!" he enthused. Said enthusiasm dimmed only slightly when Eddie posed his question, and Beau glanced over to his pack - still perfectly, innocently still - and shrugged.
[break][break]
"I hate to trouble ya, but probably, if mine decides t'run around like yours did." Two heads were definitely better than one, in that scenario. He moved to his pack and tentatively crouched down. Extending a finger, he prodded the pack gently, then immediately snatched his arm back, as though it might get bitten off.
[break][break]
The pack gave no obvious response.
[break][break]
Emboldened, Beau gripped the pack by the handle near the top and stood, hauling the pack upward off the ground to reveal -
[break][break]
The huddled, translucent form of a small Skitty, mewling piteously as it sat curled atop a black, inky blot that surely must be Beau's shadow.
[break][break]
Blinking in consternation, Beau completely forgot to recoil from the spectral sight because the poor thing was just a sad kitten. He peered at the form curiously, then turned to Eddie, his face uncommonly somber. "Brah, I think it's stuck," he commented, jerking a thumb skyward at the slowly drifting souls that passed far overhead.

“Well alright, let me at 'em!” [break][break]

Eddie was ready and willing to give the other man's shadow a run for it's money, but his bravado fizzled out as he watched Beau lift his pack and reveal the spectral Skitty. It's soft, heartbroken cries melted his heart into a weepy puddle behind his rib-cage; the poor thing was obviously lost and left behind while the other spirits of this place journeyed towards their eternal rest, [break][break]

“Poor thing,” Eddie sighed sadly, frowning as he looked the little cat over. [break][break]

He glanced from it to the floating spirits overhead and back again. Was there any way they could send the critter on their way? It probably wouldn't be as as simple as just, like, lifting the damn thing towards the whirling sky-bound specters. Eddie puzzled over this, brow knit tight with concern, when he heard the lowing of his Tauros behind him, [break][break]

“Not now Beau- not you Beau, the other Beau.” [break][break]

The bull snorted impatiently and lowed again. Eddie grimaced, [break][break]

“What? C'mon buddy, I'm kinda in the middle'a some-” [break][break]

Beau the bull's patience wore out before his trainer's did. Eddie yelped as he felt bovine teeth grab him by the back of his shirt and pull him away, back towards the center of the platform, [break][break]

“The hell do ya think you're doin'?!” [break][break]

With a fling of the Tauros' head, Eddie was sent sailing back, skidding across the dusty soil when he landed. He groaned with discomfort (there were definitely a couple of pebbles digging into the meat of one of his arms), but pain gave away quickly to surprise when he opened his eyes to see a pair of spectral legs standing before him. [break][break]

Eddie yelped, scrambling back to put some distance between him and this new entity. Oh God, was this another one of those ghouls from their first excursion? He had to make sure this fucker didn't get anywhere near Beau- no, the guy, not the Pokemon; Eddie really didn't want that kid taking off into the mists again. Eddie rushed to his feet, and only then did he fully grasp the nature of the specter that stood before him. [break][break]

The transparent figure of an old man ambled close on uneasy feet, bowled over and leaning heavily on a cane. He began to fall forward as one foot caught a rock, loosing a ghastly cry as he stumbled. In spite of his better judgment, Eddie rushed forward to catch the ghostly geriatric before he fell, [break][break]

“Whoa! Easy there, gramps.” [break][break]

The specter clutched his arm for support, cold and clammy against his flesh. Somewhere behind him, Eddie thought he heard the Skitty mewl louder. Maybe the two knew each other, as strange and improbable as that might seem. [break][break]

Beau's attention was so focused on the pitiful sight of the spectral Skitty before him that he barely heard Beau-the-Tauros forcibly turn Eddie's attention to another portion of the platform. Reaching out experimentally, he extended a single finger and gave the kitten a stroke between its ears.
[break][break]
It was cold, like ice, but the Skitty seemed to appreciate the gesture nonetheless, pausing long enough to uncurl itself and stretch toward Beau with a high-pitched whine. Frowning, and not exactly sure how this would work, he crouched to cradle the small spectral pokemon in his arms and stood. It felt a bit like holding a chilly draft, if it stayed in one place, but miraculously the Skitty came with him when he stood, and he reflected that this might be one of the more amazing things he'd encountered.
[break][break]
The commotion over by Eddie caused him to turn, and his eyes widened considerably as he took in the sight of Eddie helping an equally translucent old man to keep him from falling over. A stray thought flitted through Beau's head - he wondered how that would work, would the man fall through the platform and keep going down? How were he and the Skitty standing on firm ground anyway?
[break][break]
He shook his head, shaking the thought loose. He wasn't about to get caught in that particular paradox.
[break][break]
The Skitty in his arms immediately began mewling louder as it caught sight of the ghostly man, and Beau yelped as the air around the spirit turned cold enough to cause frostbite. He crouched to let the creature down, and it immediately scampered toward Eddie and the man, calling out happily.
[break][break]
"Uh, brah?" he called out to Eddie, "I think they know each other."

As the mewling Skitty leapt down and bounded towards Eddie and his ghostly companion, he felt icy digits grip his arm a little harder as the spirit leaned against him. Grandpa looked about ready to keel over for a second time as he tried to rush forward unsteadily to meet the feline halfway, but Eddie was quick to keep up with him because ghost or not, Eddie knew his mom back in Paldea would send him to the afterlife if he let the old man take a tumble. [break][break]

The old man pulled away just long enough to hold his arms out wide for the cat to leap into his embrace. Eddie watched with some amazement as he heard the man laugh, a hollow but cheerful sound, as the Skitty happily nuzzled his cheek, [break][break]

“Huh, I think yer right.” [break][break]

It was nice, though, watching such a happy reunion. The two didn't linger for long, though; with a wave from a man and a final delighted cry from what Eddie assumed was his final companion in life, the figures shimmered brightly. Their silhouettes slowly dissipated into indistinct shapes of eerie blue-ish light, before trailing up and away to join their brethren in the skies above. [break][break]

Eddie watched their ascent thoughtfully. Would there be anyone at his side once his own soul embarked? He briefly turned to look at his Tauros, then back up at the sky again, and frowned. The bull in question returned to Eddie's side as he turned back to Beau the man and shrugged, [break][break]

“Not the kinda spirits I was expectin' to run into out here, 'specially after last time, but hey, I'll take it.” [break][break]

Eddie staunchly refused to consider the strangeness of the day so far, at least until he had something more substantial than a couple of bites of beef jerky on his stomach. He returned to his pack and began to search through it's contents once more, [break][break]

“Do ya think it's too early to start havin' dinner?” [break][break]

Beau could only stare, awestruck, as the pair of spirits reunited and ascended before his eyes, a spectacle that he never thought he'd see himself.
[break][break]
He didn't know, not really, whether there was something waiting after this life, but he hoped. Otherwise it would be too bleak, in a way. Seeing this had his mind racing, a rarity for him perhaps, but he couldn't help but think that there was something to it after all. A chance, maybe, that he'd see those he loved again.
[break][break]
Eddie's voice broke him from his reverie and he shook his head reflexively, surreptitiously scrubbing at his wet eyes. The smile he wore was soft and genuine, and the hope he'd felt was so far removed from his experience the last time he'd come into this place that he didn't know what to make of it.
[break][break]
Running was the last thing he wanted to do, now.
[break][break]
Glancing down, he grinned and gave a thumbs-up to his shadow, which returned it exactly as a shadow should. He turned his attention to Eddie and shrugged. "No kidding, brah, not at all. And, uh, hell naw!"
[break][break]
A bit of enthusiasm crept back into him as Eddie mentioned dinner, and he jogged over to his own pack, beginning to rummage through it. "Might as well set up shelter here. If the googly-mooglies aren't coming after us this time, we might as well see how far we can get, yeah?"

When he looked up, Eddie hadn't expected to see the shimmer in Beau's eyes or the soft smile he wore as he too watched the spirits ascend. Maybe he should've known that the guy was a sensitive sort considering their first trip out here, but the sight of it still stoked a fond warmth in Eddie's chest, [break][break]

“Hell yeah!” he called back happily as Beau went to rummage through his own things. [break][break]

Without the fearful specters of their first visit doggedly pursuing them, the remainder of the day(?) felt like a childhood camping trip. A roaring fire did wonders to stave off the spectral chill that persistently clung to the air, and Eddie had even had the foresight to bring hot dogs to roast over the flames. It was nice, really; good food and good company were about the only things Eddie needed to be truly content. Even as spirits still whirled around in the air above them, it was the farthest thing from his mind as the hours slipped away from him, until sleep was ready to seize the both of them. [break][break]

Distantly, as his mind drifted towards the realm of slumber, Eddie hoped the rest of the expedition would be this nice.
