DESIREE BLOOMS
COMMUNAL CURRY #7

MATIAS VS DESIREE
desiree's curry entry[break] thread summary: Following the descent of Kyurem in the Silent Icelands, Desiree and MATIAS SILPH finally have their much overdue chance to catch up with one another, granted this opportunity by tournament matchmaking rather than through efforts to do so. Their reacquaintance is met with one-sided hesitation, despite their years-long history of being pen pals; are the claims that Navy made back in the Ultra Deep Sea true, or are they some lie born from the flickering hallucinogen? All things considered, they have to be unintentional falsehoods, it would be too painful for her to believe otherwise.
She dismisses the paranoid thoughts at the warmth that blossomed from her cheeks at his kindness as the battle unfolds, yet to her, the fight between their brilliant creatures is ultimately outweighed by the topics their conversation spirals into. The breaking of bones. The sweeping of the mechanical horde. The regret of not being there for everyone she loved, and his apologies for not being there for her. The looming threats of the cosmos. The taking up of the sword. The aspect of protecting. The wish to slay the dragoness for all which it had done. The ability to train for it, to prepare for it, ultimately to the next level.
Matias emerges victorious, but it doesn't matter. He claimed to have so much more to offer in training for what is yet to come; and despite her pushing off of the initial offer in the moment, Desiree believed she would be a fool to refute all opportunities he could provide.
why is it important?: I had such a fun time writing this with noodles! It is one of the heavier threads out of the bunch I participated in during the Vital City Tournament, and I ate up every second of it fr fr. Seeing a softer side of Matias in comparison to some other threads I've peeped and lurked :salmon_smirk: was so great AND having them have their well-needed catch-up sesh.. it opens doors to new dynamics outside of what they had existed as for years on end, being innocent pen pals sparked while she was in rehab.
It delves into possibilities that darkness can lurk closer to home than Desiree would like to admit, though she knows it can ultimately be true; she does not know what to trust, almost as if she is caught inside tension that exists within the tension of the world. Did Matias truly kill Navy's team of companions, or was it yet another spell of the Ultra Deep Sea? She falls into disbelief and dismisses it as a wretched falsehood born from a wretched being- the world wouldn't be out to get her again, it couldn't be. Not after all the shit that's hit the fan in her life, she trusts both of them would never fall into such bleak realities.
It also delves into motives and grudges against the things that go against her wish to preserve love- the things, the grotesque cosmic beasts, that so many of those whom she loves are made to endure through their occupations and commitments. She wishes to take the burdens instead, and her wish is met with him advising her not to fall into these situations and to leave it to him instead. But she is stubborn after facing so much violence and heartache, and believes it would be selfish and all the more painful to watch those she love die while she sits behind stained glass.
And then he offers to train her, which she considers up to the end of the thread and accepts through text off-screen, of course. This is super important as it is a precursor to what will shape a newer relationship in the future and the opportunities that will come with it, such as knowledge relating to legendary pokemon/avatars and sparring against some in AQUA VS missions! I'm super excited to see how their dynamics work in the future, thank you so much for writing this with me noodles! ♡
