it would be so easy to complain, as he's standing at the edge of the rift that leads to an entirely different world, of how absurd it is that he's assigned here in the first place.[break][break]

is by no means a newbie to team rocket. he is, however, new to hoenn, and he has yet to find time to properly acclimate to the change in setting.[break][break]

oh well.[break][break]

"ha, it's you again."[break][break]

he can't help but chuckle at the sight of approaching, once again finding himself paired up with them.[break][break]

03 encounter hostile zombie-like MEGALOPOLANS that have been driven mad by the darkness. you may encounter any amount from a single one to a large swarm.[break][break]

04 discover permanently defunct and dull Z-CRYSTALS scattered about the city.[break][break]

08 explore an abandoned or dangerous building that represents a societal institution (e.g. a destroyed school, a dilapidated church, a powered down 'police station').[break][break]

14 be quiet.[break][break]

🗺️ & must learn each others names by the end of the expedition.

she's taken an interest in bodies. not many rocket intelligence report files are available to her, given her station, but the concept of megalopolans has been around for quite some time. the interest is clinical as much as it is carnal; she likes to know how people tick. 

or, rather, how their meat does. 

"oh," she says, remembering. "never been in one of these before?"

she can guess the answer by the look on his face. 

a smile is flashed, a confident pat on his chest, and then she breezes through, her stoic drowzee behind her. over her shoulder, as the rift ripples around her, she throws, "me neither."

"no, never."[break][break]

there is ease to be found in how they'll both be venturing into the unknown together with no direct experience with these rifts; what little ease he can find, at least.[break][break]

letting out a chuckle, he turns, following through the rift and into LESSER MEGALOPOLIS.[break][break]

immediately, something crunches beneath his foot. he looks, reaching down to pick up a broken Z-CRYSTAL.[break][break]

"interesting."

there are dozens more like it around their feet. she shifts and they crunch beneath her boots. maven plods along past her, expert footfalls avoiding any glass shards that might damage her exposed toes. 

sylvie gives it a cursory glance and then shrugs before picking her way after her pokemon. they traverse the grounds in silence until they come upon a dilapidated building. rusted fencing surrounds it and she takes care to draw her bare limbs in close when she stretches over a section of the crumpled metal. 

"i think it's...a hospital," she says; a wry enthusiasm wriggles delightedly in her words. "coast looks clear." 

maven leads them to swinging doors. the interior hallway is dimly lit. papers - or what once remained of papers, most of them yellowed beyond comprehension or turned to muck - litter the ground. she tugs on gloves and skirts behind what looks like a receptionist's desk and tries the keyboard. 

completely dead. 

maven blinks her eyes open and trumpets softly, raising one hand towards the hallway marked ICU.

the moment dane takes a step towards the icu, his cacturne is quick to bristle, SPIKY SHIELD forming before it steps in front of its trainer.[break][break]

"ok."[break][break]

he steps back with a nod and watches his cacturne traverse down the hallway, footsteps slow and heavy, before stopping near the end.[break][break]

a beat.[break][break]

suddenly, SPIKY SHIELD erupts through the doors, NEEDLE ARM swinging to pin what appears to be a megalololan to the door.

maven's tapir toes tread neatly around the broken glass and detritus that litters the ground. her trunk swishes, dozy eyes lifting to watch the cacturne, her brave knight, as he walks into the trap she'd sensed. 

she does not bother warning him. 

the needles sink into the megalopolan's flesh and yet it does not stop. it does not cry out. it makes a gurgling noise in the back of its throat and steps forward, sinking those thorns deeper into sagging flesh. 

sylvie knows a corpse when she sees one and when it takes another step, she snaps crossly at maven. the tapir lifts a pink hand and twirls her fingers, separating deteriorating muscle from bone. 

"stay on guard," she whispers. "there may be more."

they are walking corpses, void of life but not sentience; the realization comes as dane walks by the one pinned to the wall only to feel their graze on his shoulder; he pries away quickly, turning his back as gurgling stops.[break][break]

if there are more as suggests, then it would make sense for them to be quiet, which he makes a gesture to imply as much.[break][break]

together, they continue their search through the hospital, finding nothing of particular interest but altogether, the scene tells a story.[break][break]

"i wonder if there's a cure for it."[break][break]

he says, rounding the corner.[break][break]

"the madness."

madly scribbled notes and incomprehensible, half-rotted journals - that makes up a majority of their findings as they search the hospital. they pick through different wards. when they come upon a congested room of them, they decide against taking on an entire horde. 

when they find a fire escape in the back, they're greeted with fresh air. 

"if there were, i think they'd have found it by now." and maybe they have. maybe leaving this desolate place has cured them. "i suggest we don't stay too long."

's suggestion is met with a nod.[break][break]

"agreed."[break][break]

it's dangerous to be in these rifts for too long, anyway, or at least that's what he's read in preparation in the limited time he had.[break][break]

as they near the rift once more, preparing for their exit, he reaches over to bump his fist into her shoulder before offering his hand.[break][break]

"you never asked, but i'm dane."

she knocks the toe of her boots against the ground, moving around an annoying bit of gravel that had wormed its way in there. maven waits stoically beside the rift, fingers pattering against her thighs. 

"oh. right," she says and she almost doesn't give him hers in return. she's always liked being the nobody, the faceless void behind the mask. 

"it's sylvie."
