[attr="class","itemcoltext"]You find yourself 10,000 years ago. You are unsure whether you are in Hoenn or some other region, but you do know you are on the back of a Cyclizar. A humid, lush jungle surrounds you. The heat is unbearable and the air is thick. Sweat clings to the skin like a Spidops' silk.[break][break]

Suddenly, a deafening explosion sounds behind you. A volcano has erupted. A lethal pyroclastic descends upon you and your Cyclizar, and you must race against the clock for your lives.[break][break]

There are two routes you can take:[break][break]

One ... two ... three ...[break]
[break]
Slowly, the young student is opening her eyes, one after another, unsure what she might find this time, but ... hey. She's riding something? This looks very much not like the Hoenn she's used to, much more like a version that could have existed a long, long time ago. Something that her father's friends would probably have some recreation of, with miniature figures of prehistorical Pokémon and things like that. Vespa almost thinks to herself how nice this is when she notices a different person on a Cyclizar as well, waving to the other.[break]
[break]
That's as far as she gets before the volcano erupts, and once more, survival becomes quite - extremely - paramount. Fortunately, the Cyclizar seems to know what it's supposed to do, running at a high speed - but when the paths diverge ... Cluelessly, she looks over to the other, shouting, "do you know how to escape this?! Well, this isn't real, but still sucks- I'll follow!" She really doesn't want to know what death is like. (Ironically enough, with her excessive interest in Ghosts and the occult.)

i'll never be hurt again while you're with me.

Allegra isn't sure of what she was expecting out of this simulation, but being flung into what appeared to be ancient times wasn't it. Still, she takes her new mount and the surrounding jungle in stride despite the heat, smiling at the other person — also riding a Cyclizar — with her usual grace.[break][break]

Then, an explosion sounds.[break][break]

She bends forward on pure instinct, nearly touching her mount’s neck as it begins running for their lives without command. Real or not, this scenario is unnerving, though Allegra supposes it's also an anomaly worth studying.[break][break]

When the path diverges, the stranger looks to her for guidance. The coordinator doesn't hesitate: Though not a survivalist, she is a quick thinker — and the choice before her is easy.[break][break]

“There’s no hope of outrunning the debris,” she shouts back, already steering her Cyclizar in the direction of the cave. Its interior might be unsafe too, but she'd rather take her chances with that than face certain death. “We must take shelter!”

She is following the other without much resistance or any throwbacks she might have had as a witty teenager (even as a part of her would have also chosen the other path - running right into a cave where they can't tell whether it wouldn't be a dead end or not also sounded a little unsafe), but ... as it turns out, maybe adults are right sometimes. "Y-yeah, I guess you had a good thought going there," Vespa only lets out after a moment, still catching her breath, even though she didn't even run, it was all the Cyclizar's work - one that she is petting now, too, with a little smile on her face. Though she isn't so sure about this whole riding business ... "Have you been in simulations before?" she wonders out loud as she unmounts the Pokémon, looking over to Allegra.[break]
[break]
And just speaking of times before ... As Vespa's curiosity leads her further in, there is a sudden sense of fear - a grimace of horror emerges from her usually carefree face as her easy steps come to a halt. "We ... let's not get further-" And she walks backwards slowly, almost coming to a run the more she stares at the Wishing Star - almost running into the ruins of lava ...

i'll never be hurt again while you're with me.

Upon entering the cave, Allegra is relieved to see that it seems safe enough. Now that she has a moment to catch her breath, the woman registers for the first time just how young her partner in this simulation is — about Vitalia's age, maybe, or at least the age Allegra remembers her youngest sister as. Despite the years and the distance, she can't help her sudden desire to protect this complete stranger.[break][break]

“Thank you,” she answers primly, dismounting and producing a handkerchief from her pocket; with one hand she lifts her hair, wedding band glistening in the strange light of the cave, drying her sweat with the other. "I haven't, no," she replies, now dabbing at her face and forehead, her breath evening while she goes about it. “Have you?”[break][break]

Allegra pockets her kerchief and pulls out a spare to offer the stranger. Being sweaty and hot is no less gross in a simulation, though the girl herself doesn't seem to mind as she's already moving deeper in —[break][break]

“What's the matter?” She asks, alarmed, going up to the other with the handkerchief still in hand. Oh, she sees the matter now. Cazzo. Yet Allegra is the adult here, the elder sister — for a moment the stranger's hair seems green in the dimness —; her composure mustn't waver. “Careful, don't go out again! Let's just stay where we are for the moment.”

"Uh-hum," Vespa only replies when the other turns over the question as she instead turns her attention to the cave they find themselves in now. The Cyclizar that came with her is staying nearby, something curious in its eyes that reflect the look of many of her actual Pokémon. Speaking of, did that Misdreavus make it into the simulation this time? Hah ... she surely seemed to be attached to her in a few other situations. But before she can think further about it - before she can even accept the handkerchief that was so kindly offered to her, a chill runs down her spine upon the sight of something familiar. Eerily familiar. Uncannily familiar.[break]
[break]
She needs to get away.[break]
[break]
Maybe she doesn't-[break]
[break]
Perhaps-[break]
[break]
"Huh? Oh ... oh - yeah, sorry, I just ... don't know," the young student mutters finding some of her senses again as she hears the other's voice. She shakes her own head in disbelief, turning away from the Wishing Star as she yet shudders. As she feels something along her spine once more, it's a more comforting cool - perhaps, the Misdreavus is finally showing up. With a lopsided smile, Vespa is finally acccepting the handkerchief with which to drench some of the sweat she hasn't noticed until now, eyes firmly away from the purple pulsating something. "Just ... something I saw in a different simulation, I guess? Why I - kinda wanted to be away. It's a wild thing, that stuff. W-I-L-D," she explains - rambles on, hands gesturing in the air to emphasise the cacophony in her own mind as she remembers, and then doesn't. At least for a few more moments, they are safe ...
