In patrolling ROUTE 104, and his NIDOQUEEN come across a local route-side tavern sometime in the early morning. The wooden sign that once read 'HOOTHOOT'S HABADASHERY' had fallen off since their last visit here. It had sunken beneath the overgrown grass that surrounded the perimeter of the three-story building.[BREAK][BREAK]

"I'm certain they were warned to evacuate..." The royal mutters, eyeing the tavern suspiciously from across the route as his Nidoqueen meets his flank. But he could see that lights were lit on the first floor. Somebody was inside.[BREAK][BREAK]

Garbed in a double-breasted chocolate brown long coat and a black cardigan beneath it, the AVATAR cautiously crosses the route before ascending the front steps and approaching the door. Every sharp creak and crack that groans in the wood beneath his boot betrays his approach. So, standing parallel to the door, he peeks inside one of the windows.[BREAK][BREAK]

The fireplace isn't lit. What light they've managed to gather is coming from small lanterns hanging against each wall. Empty tables and chairs. A small and rustic bar in the corner. A little lounge area filled with furniture one could expect at a junk sale.[BREAK][BREAK]

The haberdashery appears to be mostly empty.[BREAK][BREAK]

"You gonna stand out there all day, visitor?"
[BREAK]

The voice calls from the other side of the door. It's MARLEY, the co-owner. Though he gives a brief pause, the Galarian eventually reaches for the door and pushes it open to find him chopping vegetables for a stew near a stove. He closes the door behind him as the man pauses to look up.[BREAK][BREAK]

[BREAK][BREAK]

"Ah, Remiel. It's been a dog's age."[BREAK][BREAK]

"You shouldn't be here," The AVATAR cuts to the chase, stepping forward towards the lounge as he casts a wary eye at everything he hadn't spied through the window. "Didn't you get the evacuation order? We're at war."[BREAK][BREAK]

"Is that so? When you live in HOENN long enough, the evacuation orders just become background chatter," The man chuckles in response, continuing to slice the bundle of carrots in front of him at the kitchen counter.[BREAK][BREAK]

"Are you alone? Where's Minnie?"[BREAK][BREAK]

Suddenly, the chopping of carrots stops.
[BREAK]

"Ah, Millie... right. She's out chopping wood for the fireplace." He nods, turning to offer Remiel a strained smile. "Left me to cook— per usual."[BREAK][BREAK]

 The old beast’s hand curls into the fabric at the back of the woman’s cotton shirt. It tightens around her neck and squeezes a little squeak out of the young woman, “I said, just keep chopping. Don’t try anything funny. I’ll be back for you next,” she points a gloved finger at the older barkeep that clutches the knife with white knuckles, “And don’t try anything funny,” she smiles, “They’re always watching,” there’s an ominous tone to her sing-song voice. With a hard shove, she forces the woman up the stairs to the second level where they can talk in private. She would tell her where the damned League’s supplies are hidden in no time.

Unfortunately, Lex isn’t given much time at all. The whisper of a cold breeze from the phantom plane tickles her neck, a soft warning that someone is coming. The massive Dhelmise tightens it’s ANCHOR SHOT around the poor girl. Rusted steel chains creep up and over her mouth, “Shhhhh, we don’t want any trouble now, do we?” she pats the girl’s cheek roughly before quietly dipping over to the small window to peer outside.

Fucking . Of course it is.

From the sound of the conversation, she still has the element of surprise. She crouches low, stepping quietly over the wooden floor boards to peek over the railing as Remiel approaches Marley. The barkeep’s shadow flickers with the anticipation of an Arbok ready to strike.

[attr="class","remy-lb-w-1"]"Is that right?" Remiel responds to Marley, casting his suspicious glare upward toward the balcony on the second floor. Had been a less experienced thief, the sharp eyes of the EXACTING might have spotted her, too. But she always seemed to know where the shadows hung strongest. They embraced and shielded her from view despite being one inch away from discovery.[BREAK][BREAK]

"T-That's right," Marley responds, turning back to the carrots he'd been cutting earlier. "Now why don't you sit down a spell? Stew should be ready soon."[BREAK][BREAK]

Although reluctantly, given the strange feeling his instincts can't shake off, Remiel eventually moves toward the dinner table. He is aware that the conflict with TEAM ROCKET has made him a bit paranoid as of late. His encounter and subsequent misunderstanding with was proof enough. Perhaps he did need to relax a bit.[BREAK][BREAK]

When he notices a large pile of chopped firewood in the backyard, however, peeking out from one of the windows against that wall, he stops. Then, turning to the fireplace, he realizes the coals therein are faintly smoldering. "Minnie never did care to waste the fireplace on just the two of you, did she? It was reserved for guests. I'm surprised you both ran out of wood."[BREAK][BREAK]

The chopping of the carrots slowly comes to a stop again, but this time Marley does not turn around.[BREAK][BREAK]

"By the way, the lavatory is upstairs, isn't it?"[BREAK][BREAK]

"It's out of order."
[BREAK]

"That's quite alright. I'd like to take a look in the mirror, that's all."[BREAK][BREAK]

"Y-You can't go up there..." Marley stammers, gripping the knife handle in his hand tightly.
[BREAK]

Noticing this and immediately suspect at the co-owner's words, Remiel's eyes narrow. Then, with an awkward and wavering smile, Marley takes a deep breath and turns around to face him again. "You haven't paid for a room! Second floor's for paying customers only, your Highness. You know that."[BREAK][BREAK]

A long and profound silence fills the room. Then, without warning, Remiel spawns a LIGHTNING STILETTO between two fingers and casts it toward the shadows on the second balcony. "WAIT! NO!" Marley cries out.[BREAK][BREAK]

The cast stiletto comes dangerously close to striking but instead embeds itself into the wooden wall, illuminating the second-floor balcony with its blue electrical glow.[BREAK][BREAK]

 Lex frowns, shaking her head subtly in comfort of the shadows. The keeper gave it his best, he really did. Lex would at least acknowledge that when dealing with him later . . . though it would likely make no difference. She’s been punished for the flaws of others so why should she spare him? It’s not her fault the Prince is painfully perceptive leading to well founded suspicion. Any other League idiot in here and they would probably be gone by now.

Electricity flashes from the exacting, and the silhouette careens up towards the balcony, slamming into the wooden paneling of the wall. Lex nearly leaps out of her skin but its either a complete lack of reverence for her own life or years of practice that keep her perfectly still. Regardless, the light sparking off the wall illuminates the shadows, and her with it.

Remiel will see a hardened amber gaze staring back at him, sharp shadows giving a more sinister appearance than intended. Her jaw tightens, a scowl spreading across her face. While she holds his gaze the shadow so the innkeeper peels away.

The malicious Gengar laughs manically before slamming a fist into the ground. The wooden floorboards shift and warp and seem to melt away. A sinister aura reaches up to leech into whatever living beings that happen to be within its grasp.

HYPNOTIC TERRAIN: summons a hypnotic terrain that put those affected to SLEEP. this amplifies the area of effect for the user's DREAM EATER attack. this terrain can only be dispelled by other terrain based z-moves. it lasts three turns.


Marley is the first to fall, swaying slightly before crashing to the ground with a heavy THUD. Luckily, or unluckily for Lex, the knife fell first which kept him safe from impaling himself. That meant she’d still have to take care of him later . . . if there is a later.

Truth be told, he'd been taking a chance. Remiel hadn't been sure if someone was lurking in the shadows there at all. But something in the air had teased him with the notion. A tickle down the spine when someone thought of you or stared for too long.[BREAK][BREAK]

That and the fact that good old Marley here was lying.
[BREAK]

Returning her hardened gaze with one of his own, Remiel clicks his tongue disapprovingly as her Gengar infects the tavern with its Z-MOVE ability. "Tch, tch, tch... and here I thought you were done with Rocket, Lex." The EX-ADMIN says, Marley collapsing to the floor asleep behind him.[BREAK][BREAK]

Seemingly unconcerned, however, the crown prince continues as he places a hand on the handle of his holstered blade. "Too weak to let them go and set off on your own, are we? You're no different than or in that regard. But don't worry: I'll be the one to tear you— to— I'll..."[BREAK][BREAK]

And, before he can finish, he, too, collapses.
[break]

His shoulder strikes a nearby cabinet during the fall, injuring him as the bowl of roasted walnuts that was once sitting upon it shatters on the floor nearby. Much like Marley nearby, the royal is reduced to a pitiful and dormant heap under the Gengar's power.[BREAK][BREAK]

Completely exposed.

 Whether she remains still as a statue due to skill or fear in the face of the former admin is her secret and hers alone. There’s a moment where she thinks the royal may be immune to the terrain and her mind is forced to quickly assess the situation and come up with some alternative plans to salvage what she could out of this.

Fortunately, he succumbs, knocking into the table on the way down. It’s only then that she moves, smiling as she stands to peer over the railing, “No, there’s just nothing better to do,” that’s the answer to his question. One he won’t hear unless it manifests in his dreams. It’s partially true, she doesn’t have anything better to do. There’s not a lot of places in this world that would accept someone like her. Circumstances and time have darkened her heart to the point of no redemption. The only thing to live for is the hope of revenge and the promise that she could possibly make someone suffer more than she does. That makes her life seem a little less awful. She fights purely out of selfishness, no loyalty. The only one she was loyal too is long dead, but not forgotten.

“I know you’re hungry, go on,” she gives the Gengar permission to feast. He’s ravenous. His wide smile sharpens and fangs bare as he lunges at Marley’s fallen body. The Gengar sinks its ghastly fangs into the innkeeper as it siphons his life force through his dreams. He grows more and more pale by the second as the ghost gorges itself.

Meanwhile, Lex debates finishing off Remial. She stands there for a moment, staring at his vulnerable body. Ultimately, she decides she’s wasting precious time, “They’ll have to pay me more for that,” she mumbles out loud before turning her attention back to the young woman.

“Sorry, babe. Your white prince isn’t coming to rescue you,” the reality of the pun makes her dark smile grow before she lunges forward. A large hand wraps tightly around the woman’s neck, “Unfortunately for you he just used up all my patience,” her fingers squeeze, tightening enough to make her face turn red, “So talk, or I’ll let them drown you in a WHIRLPOOL,” a much slower way to die.

Crackle.
[break]

The LIGHTNING STILETTO cast earlier remains pinned to the wall it struck, biting away at the shadows with its flickering blue glow. What may come to realize, however, is that it simply isn't there for show. The air seems to begin to sting her skin as its illumination slowly intensifies. The hair on her arms stands on end.[BREAK][BREAK]

Then comes a sudden flash that reverberates throughout the tavern as a pulse of electricity. This does two things at once: shocks enough to release her grip from the woman she has by the throat. And, simultaneously, awake with a sudden jolt. Much like an Eelektross' ELECTRIC TERRAIN, remaining ASLEEP was nigh impossible under such conditions.[BREAK][BREAK]

It doesn't take long for the EXACTING to recall his current circumstances either. With a furious growl, he lifts himself before disappearing in the blink of an eye. The TELEPORT places him on the second-floor balcony, where he casts another LIGHTNING STILETTO that whizzes over her shoulder before attempting to kick her backward.[BREAK][BREAK]

"FAERFAELA! COME!"
[break]

The exiled prince shouts, calling in the NIDOQUEEN outside as it destructively barges in with a TAKE DOWN, shaking the foundations of the tavern as a new crumbling hole is made on its southern-facing wall. Ignoring the property damage, the titan glares at the GENGAR across from her and opens her mouth, unleashing an ear-wrenching SUPERSONIC.[BREAK][BREAK]
