Cass has ventured out quite far in pursuit of something most unusual - her Slowpoke Cody. Despite his inherent sluggish and slow nature, he somehow has disappeared from her side suddenly. With every pokémon on the lookout, eventually, the traces have lead them here ... to the desert.

She's once more let her pokémon spread out while bracing the desert with Jon in her arms, a familiar occurance from months ago ... she still shivers at the memory of Registeel and wishes Martin by her side as well, but he's elsewhere. She's carefully trudging through the desert landscape, feeling as if she might be alone in the world, as she hears sand rustling in another direction. Turning to it, she only catches a brief glimpse of the figure as ...

Not again.

She finds herself losing her footing, though at least she doesn't fall into the Power Spot here twice.

221 for Cassandra Kubrick

"Anything?"

The sullen expression on their returning companion and the prickle of disappointment that enters their mind tells Locke all they need to know, and the NO SIGNAL message flashing across the screen of their Rotomphone only adds to the bleakness of their situation.

Unbeknownst to the courier the desert sands of Route 111 had shifted significantly in their absence, and it only took one misstep on a previously stable path to trap them far beneath the earth in a tomb that threatened to claim one more resident. Two, counting the poor Noibat they'd chosen to accompany them on this route.

He finally steps down from the remains of some kind of countertop to slump against the wall, burying his face in his hands and groaning his frustration into his palms. The last time he'd been stuck in a place like this had been a living nightmare, but at least he'd had a group of temporary allies to rely on. Even now, years later, the gaze of the beast they'd all buried that day followed him, as if waiting for an opportunity like this-

Something lands hard on top of Locke, and the scream that leaves him hits an octave that makes Faffy-Faffy press her ears down nearly as flat an Espurr's.

"OH GODS DON'T EAT ME!"

Cass isn't entirely sure what's scarier - falling through the desert quicksands into a tomb below or the deafening scream from the person she landed on. Either way, it for sure caused her to join the screaming with a surprised "YEEEE?!" as she scrambles away from the other, hoping dearly that this- no, they spoke, so probably ... not a monster?

Only with some distance does she finally recognise the other as human (probably), and she can start trying to calm her heartbeat. "I won't eat you," she snaps, her voice sharper than she intends, before she looks around. "Where are we? Are we trapped?" she asks, slowly standing upright ... which might have been the wrong move. There's not much time to think as her foot accidentally steps on a tile, and ...

...

Click.

"RUN!!!"

A wall opened up to show ... a giant ball made of stone. And if Cass has learned anything from video games, this ball ain't gonna stay still. (Probably.)

"Well, I know I'm trapped at least," he gloomily responded. "I'm not sure where this is, but you should be care-"

Ah.

Years of living in Hoenn had raised Locke into a man that didn't need to be told twice, already dashing blindly down the pitch-black before the snappish teen even had her foot off the trigger. He only hoped the girl had the sense to do the same.

They were going to trip on some loose tile or overturned pottery and get flattened into the stonework. Or the boulder's destructive path would crash through a loadbearing piece of architecture and bring the whole desert down on their heads. Or they'd escape into some room, but be blocked inside and entombed forever until the next poor soul came across their skeletons like some shitty environmental storytelling set piece in a poorly written video game. Or-

A sudden sense of urgency overcame Locke's adrenaline-fueled spiral, and the quick beat of Faffy-Faffy's wings lead them in a turn so sharp they hardly had time to alert their new companion.

"Th-This way!"

"That's a good start-" Cass is about to reply, as she's already got a trap triggered by accident. Similiar to the other, she's in a deadsprint, following closeby as she really doesn't want to find out if they're perhaps in a simulation and she won't die from being squished by a giant ball of stone. No, she'd really rather not find out.

There's only minimal reacting to where they run towards with the ball in hot pursuit, but she manages not to trip miserably and pathetically, at least. Maybe doing one term in that running club did pay off- or the hours of video gaming and reaction testing. She really isn't too sure.

Either way, she almost did miss how the man turned a corner suddenly, and could barely change directions in time. Though she also collapsed onto the floor soon after, with the ball hurrying away behind them.

They somehow escaped.

She isn't sure how much longer they'd be running else, but given that she can still hear its churning and rolling ... "We're... we made... we made it ... oh my gods...," she wheezes, trying her best to get that dry and stale air into her lungs. "Where... where are we now?" she asks the other, as another thought came to her mind.

"I'm Cass, by the way."

She blinks a couple of times, and then ... it seems like they're in another tunnel. Or perhaps a room- with doors?

The courier leaned against the wall of this new space, relishing the fading vibrations signaling the boulder's departure as they caught their breath.

"If I only knew…Faafy-Faffy?"

Their question was answered by the sound of fluttering, and Locke squinted at the dark outline of their Noibat landing on of some large, table-like structure, rounded at the corners with a-

Locke's heart leapt nearly out of their chest at the site of the body, but a few scratches of claw against stone revealed it to be a mere carving. The body, of course, was secured neatly inside the sarcophagus before them.

"Somewhere we're not supposed to be, I think."

He wiped his palms free of dust and retrieved his Rotomphone, flicking the flashlight on to inspect their new surroundings, starting with his companion, to whom he offered a hand to help her stand.

"Ah, Locke. Locke Jamison," he answered as he turned the light to the set of doors, trying not to jump as it ghosted over the weathered features of the sarcophagus' sculpting.

"I, uh, don't suppose you have a coin to flip?"
