Quite the day it had been. First, they'd tried tracking down some escaped Pokemon, only to find a battlefield littered with destruction and injured (or dead) Pokemon. Then they found tracks that could've been from the perpetrator - or a Pokemon with very pointy legs.

Then they got called in, and asked to investigate Lilycove while the other sets of tracks they found were being investigated by Rangers. With the pointy tracks in that direction, Hideo accepted, also taking the chance to switch out his Pokemon so they could take a break.

So now they were at Lilycove, headed to a museum. A museum that was shaking, if what his Beheeyem told him was true. "Pretty sure museums aren't supposed to do that," Hideo joked, though the flood of people exiting the building was going to make it hard for them to enter.

Though with everyone evacuating, that just made the people entering the museum seem suspicious - especially as his Beheeyem notified him of a strange symbol on their backs, though not one familiar to either of them. With the person who freed those Pokemon still at large, he could only guess there might be a connection here.

"I don't think they're going there to take some pictures," Hideo quipped. "Think one of them might be the one we're looking for?"

Whatever the case, they'd have to enter to investigate. To help make his way through the entrance, Hideo enlisted the aid of one of his tougher Pokemon: a Pangoro. The powerful panda lifted the boy over her shoulder (as well as the Beheeyem), forcefully moving through the crowd.

Meloetta had a friend; and the friend seemed only slightly panicked at Locke Jamison holding the mysterious drive he uncovered from the computers only moments earlier. And by the swift reaction of the woman, Yvaine deduced that she was more at home in knowing whatever was going on down here than they were. Pray tell she wasn't the one behind it all. 


Despite the lack of hostility from the two she kept her cautiousness about her, only to feel the world distort around her once more. And this time it's hitting harder than before. Whereas general confusion was the only thing bothering her, the very moment the room stops moving she's clutching her chest, willing back the urge to empty her churning stomach. The mercenary had even failed to notice the change of decor until she looked up, the laboratory having made way for genuine museum decor. "Tsk, must be getting soft…" Her words are grumbled underneath her breath, moreso to herself than anyone within audible range. 


The curator mentions something about leaving before "they" find out, and has already taken off with the curious pokémon tucked safely within her arms. With too many questions left to ponder, and Locke Jamison already hot on the curator's tracks, she just stares for a single moment. Something blurs past her, and the very moment she recognises the ?-shaped pokémon making a run for it as well, Yvaine lets out a heartfelt "Oi!" before following suit, her Gliscor too following closely overhead.

Meeting with Hideo Kino, Arashi Akiyama, Locke Jamison, gabrielle black, wolfgang volkov & Yvaine Varron

Their work was not yet over.

As people filed out of the quaking museum in a stampede, the broad shouldered officer almost served as an unwitting barrier for the two kids behind him, the crowd skirting around the obviously uniformed man.

The blonde's eyes narrowed at the rather conspicuous figures darting inside the museum during the chaos, almost disappointed at their sloppiness. Did they want to be seen? He didn't know what the symbol on their backs was, but if all of them had it, it was kinda hard to not notice!

"They very well may be." Gwyar said to Hideo's quip as he stepped forth and walked towards the Museum, the fleeing crowd parting around him.

Turning around, he gave a tip of the cap at the children and a thumbs up like a good, reliable adult.

"Leave this one to the police, young citizens! We are trained professionals!" He said with a dashing smile that Hideo could most certainly not see, issuing requests that would most definitely be ignored. "Let's go, Raki!"

With that, the man sprinted into the building with a yipping Riolu on his shoulder.

-post at least 1 time each.
-all participants must reference entering the museum's front entrance.

Out of all people she expected to see, the curator was last among the list of people. There isn't enough time for questions as the woman seemed desperate to flee the scene. Afraid that whoever 'they' referred to would find out about her actions. Before she could chase after the person in question, the pain started to intensify.

As she closes her eyes to endure the pain, the room once again shifts around them. Unaware of the nausea that effected the others, she opens her eyes again to a new room - presuming that it was one of the lower levels of the museum.

Noticing that Locke Jamison and Yvaine Varron chases after the curator, she's worried about them but she didn't have much thought of chasing after them herself, she personally wanted to get out of here. Get her hand treated as Yvaine Varron suggested.

Realizing that she's alone with wolfgang volkov she wonders what course of action he would take, deciding it would be best to stick with the man.

"W-we should probably leave!" She suggests the idea over the sounds of fleeing and panicked people as she notices that the museum starts to shake around them.

EXCURSION PROMPT

CHAOS FUNNELS EVERYONE into the STAIRCASE that connects the first floor to the second. the SHADY FIGURES have poured in from the front entrance, scattered along the steps. with the cleared out space, it becomes obvious who is who.

the SHADY FIGURES have the same appearance as the ASSASSINS present at the STAR SOIREE. their black uniforms hide any definitive features but even an inattentive glance will realize they lack the long white hair shared by certain individuals.

one of their unown attacks with HIDDEN POWER, barely missing as the CURATOR starts to step back from their encroachment. the attack continues its flight path until it inadvertently strikes one of the gallery pieces, causing it to disappear.

“melly! it's time!”

the CURATOR and her MELOETTA both place their hands over their chest before harmonizing a deep and bold RELIC SONG. with every ‘la’ they bellow the area begins to shake, visible shockwave riveting from their concussive song.

RELIC SONG is not a standard move. this move cannot be copied by traditional methods such as MIMIC, MIRROR MOVE, etc. SKETCHING it allows the user to use it ONCE before it is forgotten.

for reasons unknown, DREAM MIST begins to sprawl from the open space the RELIC SONG seemingly cracks. spools of cotton candy shaped gas start to seep into existence until the crescendo of their song ends with a foreboding hiss. visible fractures give way until the INTERDREAM ZONE spills out in full.

the DREAM MIST floods between the floors until visibility becomes scarce. when these clouds touch you, portions of your past come to life. dreams are harbored, tied to each individual, and intermingled as you come into contact with one another.

but the assassins remain. the sound of their attacks pierce through the scenery and characters realized by your subconsciousness. and despite this, they are not your only enemies.

screams can be heard from deep within these dreams. corruption is rife within this plane. rampant and uncorrected from previous attempts. occasionally, the unnerving feeling of being watched will reveal an eye in the distance, blinking once before fading back into the mist.





“we need to warp one more time melly!”

the CURATOR’s last words wisp between the mayhem as her unown starts to spiral around her. much like the assassins before her, she flattens into a two dimensional form, exploding into a blend of yellow and black pixels.

The crowd was little obstacle to the towering Panda, carrying child and child-shaped-Pokemon inside, accompanied by Arashi Akiyama and his Golurk. It would seem Gwyar Wledig ’s request would go ignored.

It wasn’t hard to pursue the strangely-marked individuals: apart from their odd clothing (dark, all-covering), there weren’t many people still here. His Beheeyem didn’t notify him of anyone familiar besides Arashi and Gwyar, though there were some other people here that weren’t dressed in all-black.

But just as Hideo’s Pangoro was lowering him (and his Beheeyem), the black-cloaked figures acted first, having one of their Pokemon fire an attack. He could recognize the sound of a Hidden Power immediately, though it wasn’t fired at him - rather, someone else.

And then the Relic Song began. The beauty of the tune was overshadowed by the rumbling it caused, and a strange mist spilled out of the cracks it made.

A strange mist…random people appearing out of nowhere…Unowns…

The realization struck Hideo just as the mist began to envelop him and his team: this was that dream mist again, just like what happened at the Soiree. “This *stuff* again?!” he grumbled, only just barely resisting the urge to use stronger language by Gwyar’s presence.

But awareness of the Dream Mist didn’t grant him any special resistance to it, surrounded by the mist. His Pokemon stayed close as the area around them began to shift, though the sounds of battle were hard to miss. Some even seemed to get closer to him, the boy hearing one blast headed his way, though his Pangoro got him out of the way of the attack.

As his Pangoro moved forward to fight off the Unown, as Hideo readied several more Pokemon to send out, he heard something in his head - a voice he didn’t quite recognize…yet felt familiar?

Do not lose sight of the future.
A choice will come that only you can make.
Think, feel, act.
Make the correct choice.

It made him pause, trying to listen for the source, but he couldn't find it. It wasn't until his Beheeyem notified him of a strange Pokemon floating besides him, its eyes closed.

"Uxie" has appeared, and shared Ruby Walker 's prophecy with Hideo.

Arashi Akiyama's language was much more indicative of how Hideo felt; this was the third time he was dealing with this dream mist, and the last two times weren't pleasant experiences. "This stuff always happens when Unown like this appear," he grumbled.

He could at least be thankful the ones he had didn't do this.

Despite being aware of the mist and its effects, he was in no way resistant to it: he sent out another pair of Pokemon, an Ariados and a Lucario, ready for whatever strange images would try to distract him.

And soon, he began to hear whispers. The voices were indistinguishable, but the words gradually became easier to understand.

"You can do it, Champion!"

"We believe in you!"

"Give'em hell, Champ!"

An indistinct, cloud-like crowd had formed in the mist, cheering Hideo on. The boy could only grimace, facing away from the crowd and trying to shut them out: he knew this stuff would play on his dreams, and try to tempt him into falling for them.

"Squeeze, let's get away from them." His Ariados nodded, wrapping a thin line of web around the boy's wrist, tying her end along her body. A simple way to help guide him, but one he was very familiar with. "Let's make sure Tuffie doesn't get too far from us. We dunno what these guys are fully capable of."

Who knew what other Pokemon they had in store - if they had something other than Unown. One of them might've been the one that let out that Champion's Pokemon, maybe even taking some for themself.

The Uxie floating above him followed, with Hideo' Beheeyem and Lucario keeping an eye on it. It seemed to be focused on something else now, facing towards Locke Jamison , though none of them could tell Locke was somewhere in the mist.

There is no escaping the chaos. Sticking close to wolfgang volkov the pair enter the staircase connecting the first two floors. There they have an unexpected reunion with the rest of the group Yvaine Varron and Locke Jamison. There were others as well - a group of people disguised in black uniforms blocking the staircase, and another trio. Gwyar Wledig Hideo Kino Arashi Akiyama She sticks close to the group, eyeing the other men cautiously. She didn’t know what their intentions were, but her gut feeling was that they were not to be trusted.

A sudden battle breaks out when an unown from the disguised men’s group attacks the curator and her meloetta. The pair burst into song and it causes the ground below them to shake tremendously, creating cracks among the walls and ground. Momentarily she’s glad that they were between the first two floors, and not higher up. The feeling doesn’t last for long however, as a strange purple mist seeps from the cracks slowly beginning to engulf them.

The reaction of Hideo Kino and Arashi Akiyama is enough for Gabrielle to know that it was bad news - even though she’s never experienced the effects before. She also flees to avoid the mist, but it’s futile as it had already been inhaled. She does not realize that she’s under the effects of the dream mist as everything appears to be normal, apart from the increasingly low visibility.

Her heat beat spikes as she stumbles about, just when she’s about to call out to the other’s she hears a familiar voice.

URIAH BLACK’s voice.


She turns her head towards the direction of his voice. Her heart calming down when she spots him, “Uriah! I’m so happy to see you.” She smiles the fear completely vanishing with her older brothers appearance. She figured that he was here to fix the situation.

His hand rubs her hair, it’s warm and gentle. Giving her the comfort she needed in this hectic situation.

“You’ll be okay Gab’s, go ahead and head down. It’s safe.” Gabrielle nods with a soft smile. She heads towards the stairs, but momentarily looks back. Her eyes filled with terror at the scene.

A knife stuck in his chest. Blood seeping from the wound.

Tears pour down her face as she screams desperately

“URIAH!!!!!!”

TL;DR: Meets up with everyone from both groups at the staircase.
Unsure about the disguised men.
She tries to flee from the mist but is already under it’s affects. Doesn’t know what it does and is unaware that she’s in a ‘dream’
In her dream, Uriah comes to the museum as a first responder.
Ends up getting killed by an assassin, (gabby believes it’s real)
