BUT IT'S NOT WHAT I WAS HOPING FOR

JCINK OR PROBOARDS? We're currently deliberating upon this potential move to the Jcink platform. Jcink has several tools that allow for automation of staffwork. Of course, it also has the added benefit of more mature content being allowed. Still! Nothing is confirmed. If you have any thoughts or opinions, please let me know!

Andrea Vaneau and howard slayte like this

it really means a lot to him, some lesbian he's never met before today judging his pick-up lines and telling him he's not shit out of luck. she feels like she did something good and then she feels kinda bad about that. about making him out to be a charity case or some shit.

he's completely off his rocker and mayyyybeee she should be worried about the lady he's got his eye on, but he seems to mean well. and 'sides, how many rocket scientists are there in the organization? she can pick nomi's brain about it later. maybe she can play wingwoman.

or bodyguard, if need be.

and then she's made to witness perhaps the most uncomfortable moment of her entire life. the only saving grace is that it might be the most uncomfortable moment of his entire life too. he stands there, awkwardly, not returning the grubby blob-like high five offered from his pokemon. and then he turns and just stares at her.

stares and stares and she shuffles, sweating nervously, running her fingers through her hair, bad at words with nothing much to say, 'cause she can only imagine the arm was lost in rocket's name. the bandages are covering something nasty from working towards glory.

he's what she's terrified of becoming. less of herself, for the sake of rocket.

so when he says she should go, she doesn't fight him. she doesn't even offer a fucking pat on the back. she just says, "yeah, mate."

but at the very least, she gives him some parting advice. she says, "looks like y'still got all your fingers on your other arm and what d'ya need but two fingers at the end of the day?"

Cillian Quinn, Lulu Flint, and 4 more like this

"...Yeah."

You perk up a little. It's not so bad, right? You've got Pokemon. You've got friends. Sure, things might be bad now, but that won't last. It'll turn around. You've just gotta keep it up until it starts getting better.

"See you around, Parker."

You've managed to salvage this goodbye, if only a little. At that, Parker makes to leave, likely to go catch up with Naomi. Good for her! Meanwhile, you wait around for a bit, giving her plenty of time to get far, far, far out of earshot, until she's so distant that even the echoes of your voice will never reach her.

And then, you drop the act.

"Fuck." You slam your fist into the cave wall.

"FUCK." And again.

"FUCK." And again.

"FUCK." And again.

"FUCK!" And one last time.

The bandages around your fingers are torn and stained red, but the pain pulsing through your arm barely registers. Your temper... It just keeps getting worse and worse. Everything that you failed to process while you were stuck in the Medical Bay has fully registered in Area Zero. Everywhere you go, you're reminded of what it cost you to lose an unwinnable battle. The faces of those who took your arm just keep showing themselves, keep acting like you deserved to suffer.

You don't. YOU DON'T. Arceus knows if anyone deserves to suffer, it should be you, but you don't!

"Fuck...!" And an encore.

There's no nice way to put it: You're genuinely going insane. Not that you were "all there" before, but this? You're not just fraying, you're coming apart at the seams. It feels like you're one bad day away from unravelling in your entirety and doing something that you'll regret. And if that happens...

You try and imagine what your world would look like without Lulu Flint, without Grigori Sokolov, without howard slayte. Then--

FEAR RIPS THROUGH YOU LIKE TREMORS THROUGH THE EARTH. INVISIBLE HANDS GRIP YOUR BODY, REFUSING TO LET YOU FLEE. IN THE BROKEN EXPANSE OF YOUR MIND, A NIGHTMARE REVERBERATES INTO FOREVER.

YOU WILL DIE OBSCURE AND ALONE AND FORGOTTEN AND ABANDONED.

...No. That wasn't... Couldn't be, right? No. No, it's impossible. It... No.

Like an earthquake, the sudden overwhelming fear comes and goes in the blink of an eye, and the blood dripping down your arm is now joined by cold sweat. Your legs feel weak. Your vision is going blurry. Your heart is pounding so hard it feels like it's going to explode. You need... You need to do something else right now. You need to leave... Now.
