Plum's cover of dream mist begins to slowly fade, dissolving into an inky nothingness. When it clears, Luka is left staring at the wake of destruction left behind by the monster and every attempt made to subdue it. Torn pages litter the ground like snowflakes, shrapnel embeds into the walls. Blood splatters the ruined stone, leaving the sickly sweet smell of copper in the air. It makes her feel sick to her stomach.[break][break]

"Are you okay?" she asks Martín del Mar immediately. Her voice is shaking. A quick once-over shows him clear of obvious harm, but it doesn't hurt to double check.[break][break] But around them, others are fairing much worse. Injuries abound, and even stranger, some Pokemon have even devolved or reverted to eggs. Is such a thing even possible? Luka hopes that this means she's just having some horrible, bizarre nightmare. This sort of thing just doesn't happen in real life![break][break]

"Plum," she breathes out, "You're slacking, darling." The joke falls flat, and Luka fails to even crack a smile. Her Musharna just exhales a small puff of purple mist in response.[break][break]

But even if this is a dream, she still has to help somehow. One of the youngest of their party is, dreadfully, the most injured. Luka makes an attempt to help Eris Halla , but the girl is tended to before she can reach her. Thank goodness. "Parfait," she murmurs anyways, "Do you think you can do anything?" Luka's Hatterene, who until now has been starting at Martín del Mar with narrowed eyes, nods in understanding. Drifting swiftly through the crowd of quickly dispersing people, she makes an attempt with her healer ability to treat some wounds or hatch the eggs- though how effective that might be remains to be seen.[break][break]

It is very, very hard not to break down completely. Luka's chest still feels tight, her heart stammering behind ivory ribs. She feels absolutely useless. If only she were stronger, if only she were smarter and quicker on her feet. If only she hadn't slipped on those papers and fell over like a fool- perhaps she could have actually helped someone.[break][break]

A dry sob catches in her throat, but she swallows it down. Now isn't the time for a pity party. Luka straightens slightly and dusts off her skirt, smoothing the fabric against creamy thighs. She glances once over at Mars, and then towards the sprawling bookshelves that lead deeper into the archives. "I-I think," she starts to say, "Maybe we should...wait, did you hear that?" Her ears prick towards the unmistakable soft cry- her Pokemon notice it too. Without another word Luka takes off, hoping that perhaps she can save at least one creature here today.[break][break]

Luka picks her way carefully through the destroyed layer of shelves, grimacing slightly as letters writhe and slither like worms beneath her feet. Even though they make her skin crawl, she follows their path while she seeks out the creature, listening intently for another soft cry or the sound of claws against stone. "Don't worry," she assures Hideo Kino , Cardamom Bliss , Kaida Adachi , and anyone else who might be down there with her, "We'll definitely find that poor thing..."[break][break]

But perhaps not without a little help. Plum, hovering above her shoulder, assists with a Future Sight to try and make it easier to locate the creature. But something else appears instead.[break][break]

A thin red string is tied around her ring finger. Luka can't see it, but she can feel a slight pressure trying to tug her forwards. She looks towards Plum, who's staring at the trail she cannot see, as well as three others that connect to chryssa glasgow, Martín del Mar, and Locke Jamison. It leads further into the labyrinth of shelves around her and after a few moments of consideration, Luka decides to follow Plum's lead.[break][break] She ends up around the hymnal section of the archives, breathing in the musty scent of dust. Staring at row upon row of books she finds herself drawn to one in particular, which she picks up to inspect. The title is stamped out neatly on the spine:[break][break]

400 for @raid

The monster was gone, taking the adrenaline keeping Locke standing with it. He slid to the ground with his back against the wall, giving his heartrate a chance to return to a normal level as he watched Doki-Doki give Eris Halla another once-over.

Once the Audino was satisfied the girl’s injuries were no longer life-threatening, he moved aside to let a man Locke had never seen before fret over her, leaving them both to inspect the eggs and other curiously devolved Pokémon. The Healer unwound a creamy feeler from his ear and pressed it to the egg containing Kaida Adachi ’s Shinx, listening for irregularities and giving a few gentle rap-tap-taps on the shell to encourage it.

Locke himself felt a bit lost as to what to do now, but spotting Cardamom Bliss ’ Absol making its rounds, they stood up and turned to give their own a quick nod. Maybe they could make up for their letting their cowardice get others hurt by finding something useful. “Let’s try it too, Shi-Shi.”

To her trainer nothing changed save for the subtle glow of their Absol’s eyes. But to Shi-Shi, a single red thread of Destiny appeared through her Future Sight, leading deeper into the Archives. She glanced up at where it and three other strings convened on chryssa glasgow , giving the girl a knowing stare before leading Locke down the path laid out for them.

After a few moments of weaving through the broken-down shelves, the canine stopped suddenly. She nosed at a dark puddle of…something, where the thick tome Locke had haphazardly thrown at the monster before had landed, coating its once-white cover in the unidentifiable grime. They moved to scold her away from the mess, but getting closer they instead felt a strange desire to look closer at the improvised weapon. Curious, they picked it up, turning it over to reveal the faded title.

Sympathy in Action

Locke thumbed at the book’s gilded pages, still damp and carrying an oddly spicy odor. Before they could peek at its contents, however, a sharp mewling sound on the other side of the room caught their attention. At the same time, Shi-Shi watched the puddle shift and ripple, until something resembling letters seemed to slip out and skitter away in the opposite direction.

Tucking the book underneath their arm, both trainer and Pokémon unknowingly separated in pursuit of their chosen quarry.

tl;dr
Locke takes a breather
His Audino checks up on Eris Halla , then goes to help hatch Kaida Adachi 's egg with Healer
Their Absol uses Future Sight to see chryssa glasgow 's Destiny Bond
Locke finds a book at the end of the thread: Sympathy in Action
Before he can read it, he hears the small, furry creature, and goes to look for it
At the same time, his Absol sees letters escaping a puddle, and gives chase

”What the fuck!”
[break][break]
Seriously, though… What the fuck?!
[break][break]
One second he’s out here, making his escape after distracting the creature when he totally accidentally tripped luka chêne, and the next he’s suddenly right in front of the creepy damn thing (thanks, Cardamom Bliss). Not only that, but it’s attacking him?!
[break][break]
Mist swirls around him, and it doesn’t take much effort to realize that it is not that of his own Musharna but Luka’s.
[break][break]
She actually protected him.
[break][break]
Even after she fell and could have been attacked because of him...
[break][break]
In the middle of the chaos caused by the creature and its sudden disappearance, there is the pang of guilt.
[break][break]
”Yeah… I’m okay. How about you?” There is hesitation to his words that is not usual of him, but he quickly finds himself distracted by the presence of something cold next to him. Not floating by him as it would usually be, but clinging to his leg. Not a Froslass, but a Snorunt. ”Lachesis…?”
[break][break]
What the hell is going on?
[break][break]
A look at his surroundings reveals nothing but complete chaos: yelling, injuries, devolved pokémon, pages that were once of a creamy-white now stained by the familiar scarlet of blood. Anger rises, but he steadies himself, taking a deep breath and smoothing down the fabric of his suit's jacket. What had once been a pretty damn nice Meowth’s coin themed silk tie now lays torn up (limited edition POG Bank merch?), probably thanks to the fangs that attempted to bite upon him, so he loosens the knot and tosses it aside.
[break][break]
”Come on, we need to get out of here.”
[break][break]
But, where to go?
[break][break]
Looking to the floor, torn pages travel down puddles that lead deeper into the archives, and it is upon seeing this that his Musharna once again bumps against his back – another FOREWARNING of what’s to come. And, once again, ever too stubborn to learn his lesson, he takes this as a sign to continue onwards – to follow the letters and head deeper into the archives.
[break][break]
There must be another way out, right? And, more importantly, maybe that place has all the answers he came here to find.
[break][break]
”Pasithea, keep an eye on things.” Something at which the almost-perpetually sleeping pokémon would arguably not be much good, except that Mars doesn’t mean to keep an eye on things at the present moment, but what’s to come – the future.
[break][break]
The now-Snorunt is called back to its pokéball, no longer of much use for him, and as he walks, it’s the Musharna’s FUTURE SIGHT that steals all colour away from its own mist. As if smoke, it suddenly swirls around him, and Mars finds himself pausing once more, for there is something clearly cutting right through the it, almost as if the clairvoyance of the Musharna suddenly made a piece of destiny all too palpable and real...
[break][break]
An invisible string.
[break][break]
One of fate, perhaps?
[break][break]
One that's clinging to him. And, oddly enough, also to his pocket…
[break][break]
Particularly, to the pocket where the book he had taken is.
[break][break]
Upon realizing this, Mars finally looks at it, fingers tracing the faded letters on the worn-out leather cover:
[break][break]
Reactionary Banishment.

[break]
What the hell kind of book is this?
[break][break]
If only for a second, perhaps in his own endless narcissism, Mars wonders if all of this somehow happened because he had tried to take that book with him, but he’s quickly distracted from this thought by a strange sound nearby – like that of a scared animal. In search of it, he looks around, but the Musharna’s mist becomes thicker, and his attention returns to the invisible thread.
[break][break]
What choice to make?
[break][break]
For now, he follows, keeping an eye out for whatever might still lurk in the archives.

Melody stared at the situation around her, attacks were flying, people and Pokémon alike were injured and...Pokémon were devolving? Ho- How was such a thing even possible? She was confused, she had never heard of this ever happening before in the world so what strange powers did this creature hold...why was it living here under the church? [break][break]

She turned around and looked at Rowan. "Rowan!" she rushed over to him after she made sure John Sullivan was ok. "Are you ok? What about your Pokémon?" as she managed to catch a glimpse of Pyukumuku's innards out activating against the creature. This was her fault, if she had acted faster against Cobalion getting attacked the creature would have had too much pressure on it to attack back. [break][break]

Cobalion also looked at the pyukumuku. His eyes flared with anger for a brief moment before calming themselves, he felt JUSTIFIED now to fight back against the creature. Cobalion began to use SACRED SWORDand lowered his sword towards rowan, tapping his shoulder with the blade and then deactivating the attack. "I...I think he just vowed to make the situation right? I...he doesn't really talk.." she said scratching the back of her head. "Sorry about that.. im going to go to the archives. Are you gonna come with me or stay with Adrian Malcolm ?" she asked him worriedly. [break][break]

You Made Cobalion Angry [break][break]

he began to walk towards the archive and Melody and her pokemon rushed to follow behind him since they were safest with him. "Ohhh the archives right? Good idea Cobalion there might be more info here we can find!" she grinned as she followed behind the Pokémon who had creamy white fur that FERNANDO SILPH would never get his hands on. She also followed Hideo Kino into the archives, she looked at a book specifically about hymns for arceus...interesting...more books...more ammo to throw at the creature? mayhaps? she read the title outloud "Hymns and Prayers to entrance and mystify.." [break] [break]

the pages of the song, memorizing it rather quickly since there was sheet music accompanied with it. "Oh...this is a rather beautiful song, I wonder why I never heard of it before.." she says as she never heard of this one before. It was then that a noise, what kind of creature was it? She looked around the archive, following the sound as cobalion stayed by her side. it seemed like there were some letters who were heading TOWARDS the noise? WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON? Cobalion rushed off towards the letters and the noise and melody charged behind him, wherever they were heading, it couldn't be good.

6: Youths Make
Curious Acquisitions

TOMES

Red threads of fate spool through the dusty stacks, connecting four hearts, and four of the ancient books.

Martín del Mar already had his book, snatched in the confusion of the monster's entrance. It was taken with no intent of return, and it claims him in return. The book, like most expensive first editions, is unremarkable. Simple letters, and a three-digit date are printed on the inside. REACTIONARY BANISHMENT.

When he opens the tome he will find the pages filled with hand-drawn diagrams, ingredient lists, and instructions written in ancient dialect. As he turns a particularly detailed page, his hand will come away darker. He will find that the grimy ink has passed onto his skin, marking him with a complex sigil, and a single word. AUGUR

Between the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the Shadow

luka chêne finds herself among the songbooks, her creamy hand drawn to one of the tomes.

HYMNS AND PRAYERS TO ENTRANCE AND MYSTIFY. The book calls to her, a hardcover siren that sings in her mind. It's stuffed with crumbling sheet music, lush with half-rhyming praise to Arceus, and copies for some long-gone congregation.

If Luka can read music, she will find herself humming along to the slow tunes. One in particular gets stuck in her head. The music swells with each refrain, until she finds herself out of breath and full of excitement. She may notice glowing white light coming from her throat, and others may notice that the letters spell AUGUR.

Between the conception
And the creation
Between the emotion
And the response
Falls the Shadow

Locke Jamison retrieves his thrown book from the pile of debris. He flips through it casually, unheeding of the intricate rituals detailed inside.
SYMPATHY IN ACTION

When he next opens the book, his hands clamp around the cover, nails digging into the tome in sudden, spiced passion. His heart pounds, stuttering with each compelled turning of the violent pages.

The book will tell him how to crush bones from miles away. How to boil his enemies' blood. How to kill an invincible creature.

As Locke turns the pages they cut him deeply, slashing a single word along his finger. AUGUR

Between the desire
And the spasm
Between the potency
And the existence
Between the essence
And the descent
Falls the Shadow

chryssa glasgow follows the trailing letters to a bookcase like any other. It is filled with books, as expected, and they are some mix of faded colors.

They have titles, certainly, though she finds herself unable to focus on them. ̵̨̢͖͎̞̻͔͈̗̮̮͈̻̪͉̯̃̐̊̋̇̃͆̉̀͋͊͒̈͗̑͑̎̿̽͝͠ͅ ̴̧̡̨̨̛̛̳̩̤̼͎̼͖̲͈̞̬͉̯̟̗̺͎̦̘̜̣̻̦̫̠̱̣̞̹̫̩̙̹͕̥̻̣̜͖̰́́̈́̉̋̉͛̑̀̑̒̈̊̍͂̑͋́̅͐͒̊͊̔̌̾̐́̀̊̾̆̏̅̓̇̃͐̍͝͠͝͝͝͝͝

Aside from one.

The subject of the trailing letters. She touches the cover with her Honedge, and reforges the title.

INTRO TO IRON

[attr="class","rolling-thread"][attr="class,"faction"]As the beast vanished, Ruby's steeled nerves finally relaxed a little bit. It was gone, for now, but who was to say how long? "Is, everyone alright?" Ruby called out to everyone, not really expecting a proper answer. Everyone seemed focused on patching themselves up, their reverted pokemon, and trying to figure out a way out of here. By what understanding of the world could a Pokemon even be reverted back to an egg? That seemed impossible. The rules of reality didn't seem to pay much mind to that eye-filled beast anyways.[break][break]

"You did good, Brick." Ruby would pat the leg of her Stonjourner, who looked quite pleased with himself. "Stay here, keep an eye out. I need to search, see what we can." She might not be the reason they entered the cave to begin with... but she should have acted sooner. Maybe, people wouldn't have been hurt. Maybe they could have done something different, maybe... It was too late now, the only way was to progress forwards. Or, was it?[break][break]

Sure enough, it seemed that there were a few different ways to proceed. Each doorway labelled with some strange markings, although the closed door seemed to contain text written easily enough to read. Tapu, huh? Did the Church of Arceus really stretch over the myths of the Tapus as well? It was something to seriously consider, digging out her notebook to write down the markings on all the doorways. There was something about them that seemed... ominious. Everything in this place just felt like it didn't belong, as if there was something more at play. She'd solve this mystery, one way or another. [break][break]

Sure enough, Ruby watched with wide eyes as events began to unfold before her very eyes. Most notably, Ruby stood back and watched as luka chêne's throat began to glow. The young woman blinked, and blinked again as she read the words on her creamy-colored skin. Augur. A portent, to see the future. She didn't quite understand what was happening, but it was almost certainly wrong. [break][break]

These books, held literal power within them. How and for what purpose, Ruby didn't know or pretend to understand. But they were here for a reason, nothing happened coincidentally in this region. "Are... you alright?" Ruby would speak to luka chêne directly, cautious in even asking her to speak at all. [break][break]

Turning to her Gardevoir, Ruby spoke softly. "Future Sight. See what you can find." Grace's eyes closed as she attempted to focus on the future, and yet Ruby's eyes suddenly felt like they were opened. Staring into the corner was a book all forgotten. Lost, almost as if it had been abandoned there for generations. Curiosity overcoming her caution, Ruby kneeled down to pick up the book, brushing off the layers upon layers of cobwebs that had covered it. [break][break]

"Hidden In Shadow," she whispered to herself, reading the faint spine of the book. It certainly seemed fitting, but... there had to be some clues in here somewhere. [break][break]

The monster fled, and Oscar scowled. The unexpected spicy kick of the mustard in his hand-sandwich intensified his emotions, amplifying annoyance into frustration. He observed the wounded and the bizarre occurrences around him, shaking his head as he finished the last of his snack. "It's almost as if worshiping things you don't understand is a bad idea." Oscar said, wiping his hands together to discard wayward crumbs. "If anyone's to blame for this mess it's the fanatics that have to poke and prod through everything instead of just singing songs like everyone else." Oscar gave Bill Anderson a glance as he said this. He wasn't blaming him directly, but he couldn't shake the feeling that the good father had more to do with this then he was letting on. Whatever, not like Oscar cared that much anyway.

As people began to leave the archives, Oscar decided not to linger. He snapped his fingers, prompting Slayer and Alice to jump to attention as their master made his way toward the exit. Oscar paused half away through the door, realizing that once again Seismo seemed to be elsewhere. He clapped his hands together, "Seismo get the led out." The claydol hadn't moved from where it had positioned itself to attack the creature. At first it seemed to be just staring off into nothing as always, but upon closer inspection something seemed to be--off. Seismo's eyes were open. All of them. For those who aren't aware, claydols tend to keep every other eye closed--yet now every one of Seismo's eyes were open wide. That wasn't the only odd thing; it seemed to be floating at a slight angle, as if its axis had been tampered with, and its normally red eyes were now a creamy beige. Oscar was put off, but he figured the fucker was just tired. He clapped again, "Get over here you clay weirdo." This time Seismo listened, floating stoically to Oscar as the party exited the archives.

Back in the hub room, Oscar looked around to decide what he was supposed to do next. His first instinct was to head back up the stairs and go home, but considering no one else had decided to just leave he figured the way must be locked. His choices were narrowed quickly once the sound of an explosion rang out from one of the now opened doors. "That sounds like fun." He chuckled with a smile, walking toward the sound of running water to track what happened. Much like @pokejuni before him, Oscar immediately slipped into the rushing water as he stepped foot into the hall. He cursed loudly as he fell onto his ass, splashing about as he quickly pushed himself back to his feet. He clicked his tongue, wiping his hands on his coveralls as something glittered past his eyeline. Oscar looked just in time to see the necklace he had pilfered sink under the grime. He cursed again, "Damn fucking charity. Fuck this bleeding heart of mine. Seismo, get over here so I can float across."

Usually Seismo was a good listened, or at the very least it didn't disobey. However for some reason the claydol simply floated past Oscar, spinning slowly on its skewed axis. Oscar growled under his breath, "You mother fucker..." Alice came to her master's aid, putting out a claw to help him climb back onto the stone pathway. Once back on solid ground Oscar would begin following the path, sloshing noises accompanying every step. Upon reaching the path's end, his sour expression would brighten slightly at the sight of Adrian Malcolm . A boy was with him, but Oscar wasn't acquainted and thus paid less attention to him.

Oscar stepped up to the lock covered door, only then giving a greeting to his compatriots. "Afternoon boys, what have we here?" The door and its locks were covered in scorch marks, clearly from the earlier explosion. Oscar nodded as he pointed to Alice and then to the locks. Alice nodded, knowing exactly what her master needed. She ran up to the door, sticking a claw into one of the locks before fiddling with it. Her Pickpocket skills allowed for a deft touch, making Alice both a skilled lockpicker as well as a thief. There were some clicks, followed by a loud pound as she slammed her claw deeper into the lock's mechanisms (Feint Attack). One of the locks fell, followed by the chain it hung from. Oscar nodded, "We'll get through this door in no time."

Meanwhile Slayer was nervously looking around, his gaze resting upon Seismo. Seismo's open gaze seemed to peer all around them, yet he couldn't shake the feeling that it was staring at him.

tl;dr
-Oscar blamed religious fanatics and Bill for their current troubles.
-Seismo's Eyes Have Been Opened.
-Oscar chose the BLACK PATH.
-Oscar fell into the waterway and lost his cool necklace.
-Alice used lockpicking skills and Feint Attack to help open the Black Door.
-Seismo is watching.

Darker.

[break]

Yet darker.

[break]
She hears voices but doesn't see. She recognises the wind the blows through these halls, chilly and cold in the wake of a ravenous beast. She feels her heart beating against the frozen concrete, blood poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
[break][break]
In remembrance of a god that does not cast his gaze upon these forsaken walls.
[break][break]
A breath is grasped from dust and ashes, weakly placed into a chest that barely works just to ensure that she holds on. Prayers are placed upon the lips of others but they pray not for salvation. Instead, she is gifted with blessings from many others, each carrying a pulse of worry in their actions and placed upon her waking conscious.
[break][break]
"I'm okay." She whispers. But no one hears, for they do not wish to hear such words fall from her lips.
[break][break]
When Chu-e speaks to her, places his jacket over her to give her warmth, she finds a monster inside of her chest. It's a spicy and tormented creature - Screaming, tearing, screeching and clawing in its desperation to keep him close. He leaves her with company but only succeeds in making the loneliness grow, a weak cry slipping as he slips right through her fingers.
[break][break]
"Pa, don't go..."
[break][break]
But he's gone with the wind, just like the presence of treasured companions. She's unable to comprehend these strange turn of events, but should she really be worrying about others when she can barely keep herself together? She'd made her choice and paid the price, lies there and remains a burden to the rest. Frustration slithers through her veins and hisses in her ears, whispering of possibilities and lingering death.
[break][break]
"Going..."
[break][break]
She forces herself to stand, gingerly pushing herself to her feet and nearly falling flat each time. Several pokemon hover around her, each trying to get her to sit back down and stay still.
[break][break]
"Please..."
[break][break]
Stubbornness will be the death of her, but surely not today. She spares John Sullivan a pleading look, one that knows he will have one too many words to say about her choices and one that hopes that he will still entertain this request of hers.
[break][break]
Her lungs are pierced but her legs work just fine, her vision is just a little hazy but she tides herself over with shallow breaths. The sands shift and the walls are alive, something creeps within her vision then fades away just as quickly. Instinctively, she flinches, stepping closer to any familiar face as her Turtonator attempts to Incinerate the creature lying within the walls.
[break][break]
Red continues to douse her, trickling down and seeping into the ground below. Restless, shaking, but determined nonetheless; She calls upon the dead and taunts those that have yet to finish the job. If it's her blood it seeks, it'll find resistance right until she draws her last breath.
[break][break]
Eris Halla has no intention of dying here in these crypts.

    “I’ll catch up with you.” Rowan nodded in response to Adrian Malcolm , scooping up the Pyukumuku into his arms with a defeated sigh. Others had their Pokémon fainted, but he couldn’t bear to see one of his own suffer when there was something he could do to remedy the pain. “Don’t worry, Spike. Everything will be okay.” A hand slipped into the first-aid kit and produced the Revive he’d been gifted from Bill Anderson , applying the medicine with care to the Pyukumuku away from prying eyes.

    It didn’t take long for Spike to respond, nuzzling affectionately into Rowan’s arms with renewed energy. “Welcome back, mate.” A soft smile came across his lips, slipping the Pyukumuku into the hood of his jacket where they’d be safe for the time being. Standing up, Rowan made his way towards the waterways where Adrian and a few others had chosen their path. “Come on out, King.” The Jellicent appears in a flash of light from their capsule, swirling through the air for a moment before dropping into the water.

    Rowan dove in after the Pokémon, slipping beneath the surface into a more familiar aquatic territory. This was far from the clear and crystalline waters that he was used to swimming in; these canals were slick with grime and algae, obviously having been untouched for years. He breached the surface where the others had stopped, before a monolithic door that imposed it’s unyielding will upon them. “Well that’s unfortunate.”

    A gesture was given towards the Jellicent, indicating an attack should be made on one of the locks. An orb of darkness coalesced before King, launching a Shadow Ball at the targeted lock with the intention of breaking the seal. “We sure we want in here? Seems ominous as hell.”

"i promise i won't let it maul me if you promise not to blow me up," he tells Katherine Fairburne as he recalls one of his mightyena. he'd mostly gotten over it, but earlier experience with someone sabotaging his safety brings up the wariness around people.

SPOILER: Click to show

devolved pokemon causes a raised brow, with kyle starting to get indifferent to events that defy logic. it is the injuries incurred by Eris Halla that gets kyle to pinch the bridge of his nose. there's a lot to work with if this is the group he's going with.

volunteers for community service often are one of two people: those that are genuinely selfless and generally don't care about themselves, and those that have ulterior motives and are only in for the benefits. both are a pain in a survival scenario.

he approaches the ringleader of the operation when things start to settle down. "no," he answers Bill Anderson bluntly. "has this place always been this way?"

SPOILER: Click to show

he's not sure why they'd rather find a way to destroy the monster than brute force their way out, regroup, and tackle it with better preparation either. regardless, people have already resigned to predetermined duties and have started to investigate the place. it's possible that this may be their only option, but not exploring other avenues of escape was just not smart.

still, everyone has already dispersed and suggesting such wouldn't work on an independent crowd. or maybe it's the other way around and they're just as easily manipulated as to not consider their other options.

then again, he might as well take the blame for knowing better but not voicing his opinions out.

head heavy with inner musings, he sighs. "can i borrow that first-aid kit too?" he asks Bill Anderson before motioning towards Eris Halla with a cock of his head to her direction.

at least the compulsory first-aid training can finally find some use in the contemporary age of healing pokemon.

he approaches her after Chu-e Choi leaves, ready to try and fix things up just to get complications later down the line to a minimum. he smiles as he vaguely remembers her face, probably from hst or something. "you alright?" he asks as he inspects her to gauge the extent of her injuries. "you're going to get other people to worry if you start doing things without getting fixed up first, you know?"

kyle's emerging hero complex has progressed into an ability to UPLIFT THE SPIRITS of willing people around him.

it was upon waiting for a response that he feels his foot hit something in the sands. he looks down and observes it shift accordingly, revealing a rolled up piece of paper. his attention quickly switches with his mightyena's attempt of intimidating something in the wall, as it attempts to show off its swagger with a fit of barking.

against his better judgement, he investigates the walls. his hand reaches through one of the holes, and as he feels an object with his fingers, so does he feel pain. something slices and draws blood from his hand as he quickly takes it back along with the object.

"i'm not doing anything spicy today again," he tells himself as he regrets his decision.

”fine,” reluctantly, katherine agrees to the terms set by kyle lopez. “i promise i won’t blow you up then. just don’t let it bite you.” please, she almost adds.
[break][break]
Her attention shifts from kyle not long after. The devolved pokemon draw her focus first, but the injuries sustained by the others are bound to attract her eyes, too. Not even for a moment does katherine consider the possibility that it was anyone’s fault other than those who were injured themselves.
[break][break]
They brought this upon themselves. They should have been more careful.
[break][break]
And frankly, at this point, no kid should’ve been allowed to stay but… hey. She wasn’t responsible for them.
[break][break]
As katherine slowly makes her way towards the third of paths, the burnt page she found earlier in the archives is lost to the flowing stream of water, seemingly going unnoticed by the woman. It was far too dark, and also too wet, for her to notice something that small and meaningless.
[break][break]
Besides, it was mostly ruined already. There wasn’t much that she could do with it.
[break][break]
Eventually, the door is reached. The locks are inspected from a safe distance before an order is issued by the woman, commanding her prankster ghoul to act and deliver a feint attack to weaken one of the locks.
[break][break]
Amethyst doesn’t hesitate.
[break][break]
“This place is filthy,” regret soured her tone. This path was by far the grimiest, and it certainly didn’t match her taste. Perhaps trailing after kyle would have been better, but it was too late now. “don't stand so close next to the door,” half a warning, half a suggestion.
[break][break]
“For all we know, there might be a second monster hiding inside.”

Young man, 'cause you're in a new town

Doug gawked at chryssa glasgow, brow twitching in disbelief even as his mouth opened to respond on reflex.

For a brief moment, his mind asked: Is this really the best time for this?

...

Sure. Somehow, these were still not the weirdest circumstances he had held a conversation in. The monster hadn't split the world in two yet.

"Huh? Ya think I've a problem being associated with Sinnoh's very own piss-rock sniffer? Perish the thought."" He quipped dryly in response as he scrambled back and away from the many mouth... appendages trying to kill everyone.

Maybe Sootopolis had prepared him for more than just disappointment and failure.

"I was just tryin' to look all focused and professional. Hard to do when tryin' to flirt... Speakin' o'which, how 'bout we do somethin' together after this mess?"

Best to ask now before something happened again. He would carve out the time into his schedule if he had to.

Turning his gaze back to the battle, his eyes grew wide when he realized that his Blissey's barrier was not doing nearly as much as one would've hoped against the flames, turning her into the target for the attack in place of blocking it entirely.

"Joy! Ya okay?!" His voice rang loudly, before he quickly swiveled his gaze towards Kong, suddenly worried for how things might be going for him.

He found himself looking at a dark, gaping maw instead.

His heart stilled and his stomach sank, a mind numbing stench wafting up to his nostrils as his knees grew weak.

For a moment, he thought he was dead. Worse yet, there would be no chance for any dates!

But then, the world became a messy blur, his stomach's contents doing backflips as he was moved at high speeds without much warning, his body bouncing along the floor a moment later as they came to just as abrupt an stop.

Several things happened in that moment, and just like that, the fight was over before his stomach had finished settling down, with him barely able to hold in its contents.

The bad news began to pile up not a second later.

He brushed off Melody Miro's questions with a nod and a thanks, looking around wearily for his friends.

At Bill Anderson's question, his brow furrowed as he shook his head. He couldn't remember his pokedex saying anything.

Maybe it had at least caught a proper picture of the creature...?

Oh, yeah. Black all over the screen, that checked out.

...

"MOTHERFUCKER!" Screamed the youth as he held up his vintage pokedex, sweating bullets.

This thing had been with him since day one! NO!

Other people mentioned losing their own electronics as well...

And an even greater horror filled his heart.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone.

Dead.

"GODDAMN IT! AGAIN?!" This thing was new! And expensive! AND HAD HIS CONTACT LIST, WHICH HE HADN'T BACKED UP INTO ANYTHING!

Good thing most of them were present. He would have to visit Zac Ramsay and noah faber, though...

His pokemon found him while he was screaming at his busted electronics, his injured Blissey stumbling up to him while flinching every other step.

His electronics were immediately forgotten as his gaze snapped towards her, brow furrowing as he dropped a knee, his hands falling atop her head.

"That friggin... Ya okay, girl? Ya were great, don't worry. We'll get this patched up."

His Primeape, on the other hand, was throwing a shitfest, defiantly stomping about in an absolute fury at its new, unfortunate state of affairs.

No longer a Primeape, but a Mankey.

"..."

He didn't have time for this. Doug looked at Joy, and Joy returned the look before turning her eyes to the fighting type, her mouth opening.

A moment later, the Mankey faceplanted on the floor, sung to sleep until he was needed. Crouching before it, Doug's brow furrowed as he stared, scratching at the back of his head. This was the first and only time he had ever seen a pokemon 'devolve'.

It was hard to focus on it in the wake of everything else going down around him.

He had missed a lot in the middle of the chaos. People's pokemon were injured, several others had been devolved if not turned into Eggs outright...

And Eris Halla had been injured. Severely.

That... was his fault. Why had he encouraged her and the rest of the children to come here, after the fiasco that had been the july expedition...?

Why had he even let everyone come down here? This had nothing to do with their task. They were cleaning rubble, not basements and attics.
There was a throbbing headache in his temples as he approached the girl, staring blankly as his hands moved to rub against his forehead.

She was surrounded by several faster and more competent individuals already, and had received multiple treatments for her injuries. Was there anything he could do for her?

Maybe make things worst.

His temples pulsed rapidly he began grinding his finger tips against them, teeth grinding together behind his lips.

He barely heard Chu-e Choi's request/demand. He manages to catch the girl's whining, however.

He almost snaps at her when she gives him a pleading look, the throbbing on his head feeling like somebody was trying to hammer in tiny nails into his skull.

"Are you out of your-?! Don't be an idiot!" He growls irritably, nearly biting off his own tongue immediately after.

He couldn't look her in the eye if she looked at him like that. "Tch... For the love of...! Just hold my hand and stick close! Ruby Walker! Watch over everyone!"

Someone needed to make sure Andy Blackadder didn't get himself killed anyway. He would have preferred if Eris stayed back with everyone else, though.

Most of the kids had stayed back. Chryssa as well. Hopefully, it was safe for them.

Ki might well give him hell for letting this happen, but whatever, he could fight Eris about it if he cared that much.

He had dropped his daughter on a bunch of kids and complete strangers. He had no right to complain about anything.

Hand in hand with Eris, Doug approached the scary red door with a pained grimace in his face, fingers clawing at his temples irritably. He thinks he sees things moving within the walls from the corner of his eye, but whenever he turns to see, he finds nothing, and the motion alone makes his splitting headaches worse.

Before long, he stopped paying attention entirely, even as Eris' Turtonator began torching the walls down.

Distracted as he was, it didn't take much for him to fall. His feet knocked onto something within the sand beneath their heels, and he collapsed to his knees atop it, drawing a hiss as his head was rattled.

Frustrated, his free hand reached into the sand furiously, and then immediately jerked back, the sharp motion throwing a splatter of blood over surface of the door, revealing an injury on his palms.

Whatever he had found, he had grabbed the wrong end of it.

-Shitposting. Sorry y'all.

Scarlet red dripping down from the side of the woman, the color that bears warning and emergency yet Kano's mind is filled with the image of spicy food and craving for it. That only proves that Kano fears no death, following her mindset - She would die sooner or later if she keep continuing with her explosive streak. 'It is not like this injury would make me die instantly. Will, it hurt like a bitch? Yes, but still surviving nevertheless.' Kano thought to herself as trying to put pressure on the trickling blood so she won't get lightheaded. @hades prompt attention to her with the help of his pokemon also help to lessened up the pain. [break][break]

Apparently, she is not the only casualty within the crowd. She notices the injuries on Eris Halla that might be much worse than her and a curious event where various pokemon suddenly regress to their previous form - Oh, how much she wants to snatch a pokemon or two and dissect them, alas circumstances push that thought aside. Suddenly, an item falls from the hand of a Gourgeist, and Kano finds herself with Revive... Kano spares no word and whisk it away and quickly apply to her fallen Voltorb. "Well, look at that... Hated by the Death so now you are back to the living word" Kano spares a snide remark to the newly revived Dairoku which makes him only show grumbling sounds.[break][break]

Dairoku joins with Gobanme that acts as a walking cane as Kano finds it hard to move on her own without any support. Hajime floats nearby showing random FRUSTRATION here and there... Since he learns that moves, he suddenly become short-tempered for whatever reason. While she follows @hades, her eyes caught upon a shadow moving in the walls - She can't make up anything for the identity of that said shadow so she just put that inside her mind without sharing it. As a scientist, she dislikes sharing something that she doesn't know about. Then there it is... a door that needs blood to open the door. Kano is unsure if it was due to blood loss or what but her sense of humor turns morbid and just go straight ahead and splashes some blood that has been trickling down from her.

Consult the Augurs

WHITE ROUTE

A crowd of people and Pokemon barrel after the cat, chasing the flashes of white fur through the cramped bookshelves. Papers fly, and Hideo Kino 's Meowstic almost corners the creature before it slips away through a gap in the shelves, only to come face to face with Kaida Adachi 's tracking Houndoom.

With a wild hiss and a flash of claws, the creature bolts up and over a shelf, racing along the top. It jumps down, hiding in a dark spot under a desk until Cardamom Bliss approaches with some cake.

The cat draws back further into the safe dark, its eyes glittering. As tempting as creamy cake may be to a cat, this feline requires alternate sustenance.

White Total over 3000 - Feed the Cat prompt Unlocked

Melody Miro and Ruby Walker find themselves drawn to the shelves, as the Bound were before them, but there are no crimson bindings this time. No Destiny Bond linking them to the secrets in the tomes.

Instead, they find something missing.

Melody and Ruby both notice that large sections of their books are incomplete. The pages are still there, but whole chapters have been sucked dry of their ink.

Other things are missing too.

Melody and Ruby have unlocked new prompts:

Clearly define something missing (+5)
Remove more (+5 Black)
Mend it (+5 White)
Replace it (+5 Red)

Leftover psychic energy surges through the Archives, disrupted by the Future Sights of Ruby Walker , luka chêne , Locke Jamison , Martín del Mar , and Cardamom Bliss . Reality warps and bends, and a distorted, mental tone rings out through the library.

The smoke from Martín del Mar 's Musharna thickens, and he finds himself coughing, drawing a deep, hazy breath as the Future Sight clouds his vision.

stops.

In a clap of swirling smoke, Mars disappears.

Between the shelves, Locke Jamison and Shi-Shi are chasing the cat. They close in on Cardamom, approaching the table as their own vision hits.

Locke. Hands out.
Holding back a quick river of blood.
Upstream, crimson figures tear themselves apart on sharp rocks,
wearing themselves down to nothing.

In a thunder of collapsing bookshelves, Locke disappears.

luka chêne hears rushing. Rusting, shuddering. The unkempt music of a million hardcovers coming out of hibernation. Her vision is more sound than sight.

Pspspsps
Hisssss!
No! Not up there!
BANG! BANG! SCREEEEEEEE—CRASH!

Her creamy feet still on the ground, luka chêne remains.

White route prompts

Feed the cat a memory (+10 White)
Feed the cat a lie (+10 White)
Feed the cat a secret (+10 White)

RED ROUTE

Andy Blackadder splits from the party, squeezing between the razor walls in search of vengeance. The passage gets thinner, but he pushes on, rocks slashing his legs, until the path splits.

One way leads downwards, a chute cut into the jagged pumice. It smells of salt. The other way leads upwards, high into the twisting walls. Up there, things may be clearer.

There is no visible third path.

Blood is spilled, and many people find secrets in the walls. Their fingers brush gold, rock, paper, and sand, and all leave crimson trails as they pull away.

Chu-e Choi come away richer from his clawing in the walls, and finds himself clutching a golden figurine of a man who looks disturbingly like Bill.

What Cillian Quinn thinks is a rolled slip of paper is actually a pale orange headband. Battle-worn and stained, it looks fit for a Pokemon.

kyle lopez brings back his bloodied hand, which is wrapped around a tied sprig of desiccated herbs. They are singed on one end.

@hades , kyle lopez , Eris Halla , Cillian Quinn , Kano Iyona and Chu-e Choi bleed over the door, and the Crypts open.

Stone rumbles, showering the group in sharp shards as the door splits horizontally once, twice, a dozen times as great fingers of stone slide sideways into the walls. Beyond them is wide, twisted series of crypts, filled with hundreds of alcoves.

Each alcove has a tiny portrait, most of them painted, of a interred priest and their Pokemon. They each bear inscriptions, and have tiny, glass vials of colorful liquid sitting beside the pictures.

But before the group can venture inside, Locke Jamison appears in a rush of pages, landing hard on the sandy path.

And the path moves.

Red Total over 2000 - Red Route Stirs

After being poked, prodded, stamped and burned, the Red Route fights back, and a huge, sandy hand grasps at the group, seeking the most noisy and obnoxious among them.

It catches kyle lopez and his Mightyena and hurls them down one of the sharp side passages. They hurtle between jagged walls, which give way to polished stone and veins of cold metal.

kyle lopez lands in the deep waters of the Black Route.

Red route prompts

Inspect the alcoves/vials (+10 Red)
Find sand where it shouldn't be (+10 Red)
Encounter an unexpected creature (+10 Red)

BLACK ROUTE

Picked, cut, or burned, the locks fall from the door, and the ancient iron peels outwards like dark scab. Inside is a slanted, algae-coated ramp covered with what looks like crumpled paper.

Curled, wisp-thin wrappings fill the dark tunnel like millions of presents worth of faded tissue paper. Anyone venturing forth will find that the papers crackle underfoot, turning to pale dust at the merest touch.

The ramp upwards is shrouded by thick, resilient darkness. Those going forward will need to bring a powerful source of light or go in blind.

Black Total over 2000 - Bye Bye Butterfree

There is a rush of wings as dozens of pale Butterfree surge out of the doorway, carried on a gust of stagnant wind. Glittering dust in a dozen colors clouds the air, and most can't help but breathe it in.

The cloud sticks to the wet forms of oscar clayton and Aaron Toral , and Rowan Wrynn , still in the water, will find himself covered once he climbs out.

Is the dust poisonous? It is an aphrodisiac? Does it cure the common cold? Those who take a lungful will soon find out.

And in the midst of the dust, Mars appears in a gout of purple smoke, moments before kyle lopez and his Mightyena crash into the water.

Black path prompts

Help Kyle or his dogs (+10 Black)
Venture into the darkness (+10 Black)
Identify an effect of the Butterfree powder (+10 Black)

“...seriously?”
[break][break]
Not only was it wet in this place, but it now also reeked. They already had to deal with a wet path (but thankfully, not a creamy one), and now these Butterfrees had to show up with their clouds of glitter?
[break][break]
Holding her breath, Katherine gestures for Amethyst to act in her stead. A chilly breeze billows from their direction, clashing with the powder in an attempt to keep it at bay. Although breathing it altogether might prove impossible, she certainly wants to limit her exposure to the unknown powder.
[break][break]
“Giratina won’t fit in here,” she quietly reminds herself, peering towards the darkness. If a monster was lurking inside, an appearance of her Lord was out of the question.
[break][break]
Hopefully, she won’t need the God’s assistance.
[break][break]
Moments pass before Katherine makes up her mind and steps ahead, intent on making her way in. But she comes to an early halt at the sound of the crashing kyle lopez. Naturally, the unexpected arrival of Martín del Mar also captivates her attention.
[break][break]
“Kyle! What happened? Did it attack again?” it was too hard to tell in the light whether if the champion was wounded or not, “are you two okay?” despite her grievances towards the man’s preferred pokemon species, katherine pities the dog, and as such, awkwardly pets it once.
[break][break]
There, there. It will live.
[break][break]
“Amethyst, some light please.”
[break][break]
Spectral, flaming orbs of WILL O WISP dance around the Sabelye’s form, providing a scarce source of light in the darkness. “I am going in,” she says after confirming that Kyle survived his fall.
[break][break]
Careful, measured steps are taken by the elite four before the darkness swallows both her and her PRANKSTER of a Sableye.
[break][break]
Ironically enough, despite the lack of vision, she still comes to find a strange GOLDEN FIGURINE. She identifies it with a quick glance before handing it for her Pokemon to carry, “Don’t lose it, please.”
