“fuck off, kid.”

was returned to the sender, knowing, if this boy was smart enough, that the phone would be destroyed before the message was even seen.

As the lights cut, the xatu would emerge from its hiding place, swooping in and silently performing air slash, slicing into Marie’s arm to release her hold on the commissioner as it grabbed her, quickly using teleport to completely remove her from the area.

Deep cuts sawed through the flesh of her arm, the razor sharp wind nearly taking the hand that grasped onto dahlia clean off and forcing her to let go, she could only watch in quiet as the one she was escorting was quickly whisked away.

Once the lights return she crouch down, blood staining the sweater and pooling onto the floor under her, the opposing arm applying pressure to the deep wound as she shivered in place silently, too shocked to even let out a cry. But tears fell nonetheless, pain once again appearing where it was lost.

• xatu flew out from hiding and used AIR SLASH on marie and cut her arm pretty bad then TELEPORTED dahlia goode away. all this under the cover of the dark.

• marie is kneeling down with her arm messed up and crying silently.

• keeping up the guise that she’s just a civilian caught up in all this.

The plan she had thought up in the short amount of time was perfect, no notches, no split ends, no separating paths, it was perfect, and as she got ready to set it into action, and unseen force knocked her away, pushing her against the wall she previous crouched near.

Where she was positioned, she could not adequately see the claydol set itself up to self destruct, and everything going on didn’t help her sense it either.

Tears fell from her eyes as she rubbed her head, blood staining a portion of her fingers when she dared to look at them. But there was no time to worry about pain, her target was in sight, and she had an opportunity to act. Her previous plan had to go out the window, and the pokemon that was part of it was out cold. So, returning the sylveon, she would leave the xatu out, its body scratched up here and there as it gave her a 1000 yard stare. It was good to go.

Pushing off the wall, leaving a mark of blood on it as well as the ground, she would rush to the commissioners side, quickly grabbing hold of one of the older woman’s shoulders.

“Miss Goode!” She’d shout as tears fell from her eyes. “We have to get you out of here, let’s go!”

She put on a brave face even with the tears falling as she looked around, trying to find anywhere they could escape. Then, lo and behold, one of the many holes that had been made in the building was on the ground floor. So, she would quickly grab hold of the commissioners arm, doing her best to drag the woman with her.

“There’s sure to be league outside that can help us, we just need to make it there!”

The young womans eyes would squint tempted to make a meal out of the spider that aimed its sights on her sylveon, but right now, time was of the essence, she had none to spare.

So quickly before it got a chance to properly close the gap, she would release a xatu with only the slightest motion, the bird quickly teleporting the three of them away.

When everything was clear she would look around at her surroundings only to see that she stood where she once cowered, the ground floor. hey look, theres her spaghetti, still spilled on the floor.

And woah, the commissioner is right there too? How lucky could she get. Luckier if there weren’t like 8 people protecting her. She’d have to lay low for the time being, keeping her distance from the fighting and focusing on a plan to successfully get out of this without having to get her hands dirty in the process.

• sent out xatu teleported away from that stinky ol spider
• back where she started with her spilled food still there
• thinking of how to get out of this mess without having to fight

there was a lot if shit goin on. she needed to get to her next point as fast as she could. and with all the commotion going on right now, she could easily get lost here.

ducking her head, he’d hop up quickly running to cover while everything went down, and once she was out of sight she’d send out a sylveon, light screen stairs forming in a spiral to assist her up a few floors.

now to find the commissioner, and ignore whatever other hindrances show themselves.

• ran away under all the chaos and hid away from anyone
• sent out her sylveon and made a light screen staircase to get herself further up
• sneaking around, don’t @ me i stg
