OVERVIEW





[break] news of 's death spreads like 's wildfire in the days that follow the fall of petalburg. his body is eventually returned at the mercy of ULYSSES MONROE and the rockets occupying the ruins of the city that derek had called home. his worldly tour reaches its final destination in ever grande city, the location of his public funeral. organized by and the league, mourners are invited to come pay their last respects and reminisce about the late gym leader-turned-ranger.

[break][break] the head ranger can be found in the center of room, wearing a uncharacteristic somber expression, as he greets people as they walk through. his pikachu, tofu, accompanies him, donning a matching tie. some rangers are posted around the funeral home, joining him in welcoming guests, while others gather near the closed casket to pay their deepest respects to their fellow ranger, gym leader, and friend.

[break][break] set up beside his casket, bordered by flowers delivered from 's farm, stands a memorial poster featuring a picture of him and his sobble, jonesy. for derek's loved ones, it's a small comfort to think that he and his partner pokemon have been reunited again.

after the recent battles, how anyone can still be neutral is beyond his understanding. the world may not be black and white but perhaps it should be perceived that way. maybe then, tragedies such as this would spark a more potent flame.[break][break]

no stranger to funerals, cian attends partially out of obligation—he didn't know on a personal level, only professional, and even then, they were acquaintances at best.[break][break]

the rustboro gym leader stands off to the side, yet to find it in him to pay his respects. his gaze shifts when he sees someone next to him.[break][break]

"hey there," he says, "how'd you know derek?"

Adorned in all black, the only color carried by her sheepish stride is the flora Petra presents to a portrait of the deceased. It was only so many years ago the up-and-comer had introduced himself—Petalburg's latest gym leader, somehow ending up at her home in Mossdeep...
[break]
[break]

Now he was gone, and she felt partly to blame.
[break]
[break]

With no use for sulking, Petra lines the walls with many others engaging in small talk. Eavesdropping more than she partakes, the verbal approach of one nearby prompts the lady to turn. "hey there," -- "how'd you know derek?"
[break]
[break]


"I didn't. Not really." She starts, slowly recognizing why the guy seemed familiar as she relayed the truth of the matter. "He showed up one day and asked if he could use my garden to plant some berries." The gym leader had his reasons. From wild pests, to weather, and most importantly the varying nutrition density of the soil. "We never spoke at length, but someone who took such great care of their garden, well... I can only imagine how good he was to his pokemon." There was no guessing that they were with him, to whatever bitter end Derek got.
[break]
[break]

"You were his gym neighbor, weren't you?" At least, that's who she believes the figure to be. Uncertainty of how to pronounce their name leaves Petra reluctant to even try. She'd only ever seen it spelled, not spoken. But he sure as hell looked like Rustboro's gym leader.

Thomas, dressed in a black suit, silently walked into the room.

"Head Ranger.", Thomas greeted somberly, with a formal bow. "Tofu.", he greeted the Pikachu with just as much respect.

Thomas silently waited in the line of those who were paying their last respects to their fallen ally. In that time, Thomas reflected on the moment they worked together. In the Border, they got trapped in what he assumed was Chien-Pao's chamber. A projection, or remnant of Chien-Pao attacked Derek, himself, and one other. After having banished the spirit, a group of Marshadow challenged the trio to battle.

Finally, it was his turn. Thomas planted a hand on the casket, lowering his head in respect for the fallen Ranger. "Derek, buddy, I promise I'll avenge you.", he solemnly swore. "I'll avenge Petalburg."

"At least you and Jonsey can finally be reunited in the afterlife, old friend.", Thomas remarked, as he stepped away from the coffin.

A funeral service is held for the man that told her all about the Rangers when she wasn’t one at the time. Like a silent ghost, the Galarian Ambassador is dressed in a black formal dress when she arrives at the room filled with other guests and rangers posted at the funeral. As Ranger Captain of Rustboro City, she shudders to think if Rustboro would share the same fate like Petalburg.[break][break]

Her friend and fellow Ranger Captain, , won’t be attending due to being captured by Rocket. Elise is afraid of what Rocket would do to her now.[break][break]

“Good day, .” The Galarian royal princess greets the Head Ranger and gives a polite bow to his Pikachu. “And hello to you too, Tofu.” By her side, the princess’ Mismagius does the same as well as Charles the Calyrex shard that had hid behind the ambassador in giving a kingly bow to both Ollie and his Pikachu.[break][break]

After walks away from the casket, that was her cue to say something to the late Elite Ranger. “Derek, I only wished that you were here to see me progress as a ranger. I thank you for pointing me into becoming one.” A sad smile and somber tone came with her lowered head towards the deceased man. “Good-bye. I hope you and Jonesy can give me strength during my fears, doubts, and hopelessness. Even though we did not meet up with each other often, I’d like to think you are still a cherished friend to me.”[break][break]

As soon as she says her good-byes, the Galarian princess steps away from the casket along with Mana and Charles following after her to stay in the quiet corner of the room.

bo entered the parlor feeling quite like the shadow he was dressed as, dark circles under his eyes. the rest of the attendees blended into the atmosphere, out of focus, and included.[break][break]

for a moment, he half-expected to appear one last time before his journey to the border. when it didn't happen, however, he drifted closer to the casket while it was unoccupied, though surrounded by ’s glaring reminders of his own falsehood.[break][break]

one could not lie to a ghost.[break][break]

"i guess you probably know where that temple is now,” he said softly. a moment passed. finding himself unable to get more words out, he kept it short. ”i’m sorry, man.”[break][break]

soon, hoffman and jonesy went out of focus too, and bo turned sharply away, b-lining down a hall to gather himself.

IN MEMORIAM: DEREK HOFFMAN

freya has not attended many funerals. 

one of the last times she'd seen derek had been at the border. the irony doesn't escape her as she stands off to the side, staring down the aisle, past the procession, at the casket. she hasn't approached. she won't approach.

she's here as a councilwoman and to pretend otherwise would be a mockery to whatever acquaintanceship they'd fostered over the years. there are other, better people who've known him. people who were there to try and protect him, who were more than councilors dictating him as a number employed to war. 

derek hoffman is dead and petalburg is lost. and the casualties are grave, and this is only the beginning. the living lament over their fallen and freya lingers in the wings, wondering just how many more will pass before the war has been won. 
goodbye mr hoffman...

[attr="class","rowwtw"]There were a handful of people in the League whose demise Rowan would shed a tear for these days, and was one of them. He watched from a distance as mourners filed into the memorial, faces he recognized and those he didn't. Although a dead man couldn't attend a funeral, he could still mourn from a distance.[break][break]

Derek was one of the few who treated him as a human, instead of a former Rocket. Like himself, Derek didn't blindly buy into what Dahlia Goode and her sycophantic council declare as truth, and there was a part of Rowan that believed this to be ultimate cause of the man's demise. [break][break]

There was one bit of solace Rowan could find in their death, that Derek died believing he'd been killed by . At least they wouldn't have to live through the inevitable betrayal of his public resurrection and return to Team Rocket.[break][break]

"See you on the other side, Hoffman." He muttered underneath his breath, stepping away from the funeral procession and into the crowded streets of Ever Grande City.[break][break]

There would be no flowers delivered from Rowan Wrynn, instead a set of white tulips arrived at the pulpit, marked simply as from a friend.

is dead.[break][break]the sensible part of her mind knows that. she has seen the news and heard 's voice break over the phone, but it's only here and now that the gravity of it finally tumbles down on her. she sways on her feet, weathering dizzying truth. derek is dead. derek died before her. derek died and the last memory she has to hold onto is her screaming at him. [break][break]their relationship had been difficult, mostly, but he had done everything in his power to rectify her abduction — and she had yelled at him for it. she had thrown his mistakes in his face. and they had never talked again after she got out of the hospital. [break][break]she doesn't belong here, but she is here. she's standing in front of him now, too late to apologize or redeem herself, one hand resting on the cover of his casket. her silhouette, perfectly still and captured in lacquered wood, is joined by another. her heart lurches, then settles. it's , she knows, not a ghost. [break][break]a lump forms in her throat.[break][break]she wants to apologize, to make promises to take back petalburg or dismantle rocket, but she's not sure any of that matters to the dead. instead, she just stares until everything blurs together. until the permanence of his death feels suffocating. [break][break]"i can't do this," she whispers eventually, voice hollow. she pulls her hand back and turns away, desperate to make herself invisible in the crowd of mourners.

is dead, and as sad as it is, matias cannot find it in him to care.[break][break]

he never knew the man on a personal level, only business, and through their business stems an understanding that this is what is expected of them—to give their life for duty, for security, and for the region. and when their service ends, another will take their place.[break][break]

none of what he feels can be shared today, of course, as it is a time of mourning.[break][break]

almost feeling out of place, matias finds comfort in the familiarity of it all. 's funeral is not the first he has been to nor will it be the last; he moves like clockwork, knowing when and where to be.[break][break]

departs from his side and plunges into the crowd of mourners. like the anomaly he is, matias follows, offering nothing more to than a glance. when he finds her, he's quick to offer his support.[break][break]

Penelope hated funerals.

It was a piece of her that was always criticized, especially as the years went by and her excuses for absence began to weaken to a pathetic "I'm busy that day."
[break][break]
The last funeral she attended was for her coworker, back when she still worked for HBS. He'd died while on the job. Flew a little too close to the sun and got burnt. The police would only tell them that it was another 'Rocket related incident'. Not even his family received better closure than that.
[break][break]
She could still see that cloudy sky as she made her approach to the church. Her hands were shaking the entire time and when it was her turn to peer into the casket, her body became a statue. She didn't see Frank, the man she'd worked with for the past five years; the man she shared morning coffees with and kept an ongoing score of office foosball wins; she saw Evelyn.
[break][break]
And, in that split second, she turned 20 again. A stupid girl ensnared by her own grief, enraged by the world.
[break][break]
Penelope was one of the first to arrive to the venue. The simple assumption would be that her responsibilities bound her to that decision. Whether it be her status as a councilwoman, or her loyalty to , it made sense she'd be among the first. But if that were the case, she'd be with , mourning the region and not the man. Or she'd be like , a shadow to those fighting the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. But she was neither.
[break][break]
When it was her turn to approach the casket, she didn't waste a second. Every moment counted, from his last breath to hers.
[break][break]
"You just had to die."
[break][break]

Again, she was 20, and again she was enraged. Sniveling. Pathetic. [break][break]Flashes of the paintings she'd collected ran across her mind. Ever since the news broke in, an ocean of canvases marked her living room. They were splotchy and unrefined, but their colors held meaning. Memories. Moments captured in amber.
[break][break]
Twitching hands kept to her sides. Touching the casket felt too kind of a gesture for someone who made her this way. The distance would be his punishment. It was the only thing she could think of through the blurring vision she'll soon wipe away quickly.
[break][break]
"I hate you. I hate you so much for making me remember."
[break][break]
Then she left, returning back to .
[break][break]

"huh. i never knew he loved to garden."[break][break]

his surprise and admission also reveals how little he knew of the late gym leader. it shouldn't be a bad thing to admit, but still, the guilt he feels is real.[break][break]

Melody arrives to the funeral on time. Dress in all black, her hair neat and straightened. She didn't know him very well if she was honest, wondering if he'd find it disrespectful of her to come to his funeral. [break][break]

However it wouldn't look so good if she DIDNT show up in the public eye. She mostly stays to herself and pays some respects "I hope you can find rest derek." she whispers to herself, just wondering how many more will die in this brawl with rocket.

IN MEMORIAM: DEREK HOFFMAN


SOCIAL



FERNANDO has attended many funerals.

this is just one of many set after the events of PETALBURG and SOOTOPOLIS. they’ve become so common place in hoenn that fernando doesn’t bother changing attire. business formal blends in just as well as anyone else’s. likewise, today is not a special occasion. it’s any other day.

business as usual.

he enters in silence, observing the memorial and those in attendance. while some hold their head low, sniveling in loss, he shows no such grievances. he simply stares, cognizant of derek’s pictures, and moves onto the next one, in the same way one would peruse through a museum gallery.

like , true sorrow bleeds from those that care. fernando spills not even a drop, seeing as derek, for all their encounters, means nothing to him. he is not an ex-colleague, much less acquaintance.

no.

he is a number. a statistic. a firm reminder that this is the logical and historically accurate outcome to those that decide to truly get in his way. in an era plagued with countless violence, and requiring countless sacrifices, fernando ensures that, indeed, at the end of the day, he is well compensated. after all, is it not justice when a man who asks for so little to see out that his few wants are seen through?

a shame, hoffman,” he muses, sizing up a picture of the late gym leader and his SOBBLE.

"he tried his best to be, i think." petra admits, having been caught in the occassional conversation when he came to harvest the latest and greatest of the berries derek planted. even though the position of gym leader had long been relinquished, she knew why hoffman never left petalburg.
[break]
[break]

"thank you for coming." though awkward to say, as she had no part in orchestrating all of this—petra knew the gesture would please the late gym leader of petalburg. "he had his disagreements with some of the politics, but derek left his family in johto twice to be here. it's nice to see that returned in some way." feeling so apart from the league herself, it instilled hope, even if none should exist for herself.
[break]
[break]

she accepts cian's hand, though her eyes part from his soon to find the ruby of the council looming over the casket. she witnesses miss livy wipe her face, and wonders just how much penelope knows of how derek felt.
[break]
[break]

besides how the garden was going, there was only so much he talked about to an older lady such as herself. though nothing could ever compel her to speak them for a second time. petra knew it would be too cruel a thing to do, now that it was much too late...
[break]
[break]

"now if you'd excuse me—" petra moves to find herself a cozy place to look at all the faces of those gathered, wondering how many she knew herself.
