BLOOD, MUD & IRON
POSTED ON Oct 22, 2023 19:03:50 GMT
[attr="class","aurelie"] [attr="class","aurelie_lyrics"]The blood moon rises once again [attr="class","aurelie_body"]Her heart pounding from their frantic race to the end of the trail, Aurelie caught her breath in wonder at the sight of the lush, verdant cave flourishing with wild grass, herbs, and shimmering crystals. It was hard to believe that a few hours ago, they'd all been muddling through a muddy marsh chasing after a supposedly rampaging, bloodthirsty beast. Now...there were Megalopolans, an apparently friendly Ursaluna, Glimmoras, and now a spaceship. It was a lot to take in, all at once. Turning her head to catch Genevieve Cromwell's eye, Aurelie pointed down toward the spaceship and called out cheerfully, "Well, you were totally right about the spaceship. If we make it out of here, remind me to ask you later for lottery numbers."Her smile faded into a grimace as she tried to survey the puzzling scene before them. The metal bowl and mallet in the center of the grove, with the dead Megalopolan draped across them, immediately caught Aurelie's attention. She hastened forward to kneel down beside howard slayte, Yuina Higashi, and Thomas Benoit as they all examined the curious tableau, especially the bowl. In response to howard slayte's many questions—despite them probably being rhetorical or at least not directed toward her—Aurelie mused aloud, "I think you're right. It does look like some kind of ritual. Or an experiment with all these herbs and crystals gone wrong?
"As for the integrity of the bowl..." The red-haired smith held out two Poke Balls, summoning her Gallade back into its ball with quiet thanks to the Fighting-type Pokemon for its help. Then, releasing her Tinkatuff, Aurelie continued lightly, "Unfortunately, I forgot to pack an infrared microscope, mass spectrometer, or even my angle grinder for spark testing into my backpack this morning. But I do happen to have an expert on metal durability and integrity that I can call upon."Beckoning to the Tinkatuff, she instructed the Pokemon to lightly tap the bowl with her hammer and study its hardness and luster. "It looks and feels like an iron alloy, but there's something strange about its color... Arceus, why does everything around here look so weirdly magenta?"Aurelie shivered as she bent closer for a better look. She winced and twisted away from the dead body, feeling not just uncomfortable but unaccountably afraid of the odd situation. The nervousness and fear grew and deepened inside her, making her feel increasingly weak and inadequate. I wish I were braver, she thought suddenly, longingly. I wish I had the courage to face...what I need to do. Instead, I've been running away from hard situations all my life. I ran away from Kalos, I ran away from the prospect of war, and I'll...I'll probably run away here and let everyone down.Without even meaning to, Aurelie looked back toward the other trainers as they all investigated the swamp cave before them. Unerringly, her eye found the strange young man in the middle of the cluster of Rangers and medics, whose build, posture, and gait reminded her strikingly of Isaac Merlo, if it weren't for the unexpected dark hair. She bit her lip. I don't even have the courage to...ask if it's him. And if it's true. What I heard on the Rocket news. It…can't be true, right? But what if it is? Arceus, I'm not brave enough to ask! Why am I like this? Why can't I be better?NcGIuF0i [attr="class","aurelie_tag"]
TL;DR: - On PATH 2- Zeroes in on the bowl and mallet. Has her TINKATUFF investigate the metal's composition, hardness, and integrity - Suddenly feels scared and inadequate and starts longing for more courage... Talk about some demoralizing poison. Also, any volunteers to play the Tin Man or the Scarecrow? - Wearing button-down shirt, cargo pants, boots, and sunglasses ( Outfit ref) but lost her machete...but hopefully finds it eventually [newclass=.aurelie]width:420px;padding:40px;background:#862939;[/newclass] [newclass=.aurelie img]height:100px;width:100px;padding:15px;border:1px solid #fff;border-radius:100px;[/newclass] [newclass=.aurelie_lyrics]text-align:center;font-family:verdana;font-size:9px;text-transform:uppercase;color:#eee;letter-spacing:1px;[/newclass] [newclass=.aurelie_body]width:420px;padding:40px;background:#222;font-size:14px;line-height:16px;text-align:justify;font-family:calibri;color:#aaa;letter-spacing:.5px;[/newclass] [newclass=.aurelie_tag]text-align:center;font-size:12px;[/newclass] [newclass=.aurelie_tag a]font-size:12px;[/newclass] [newclass=.cred]text-align:center;font-size:8px;color:rgb(132, 132, 132);letter-spacing:1px;font-family:verdana;[/newclass] [newclass=.cred a]color:rgb(132, 132, 132);font-size:8px;letter-spacing:1px;font-family:verdana;[/newclass]
