BLEED THEM DRY [EZ VS. KM]

keep talking-- it was easier said than done for someone like kyle.

"that's creepy, dude," he finds himself blurting out instead. "tell me you didn't say anything like that during your date."

knowing matias, he probably did.

he finds himself staring at the road, continuing the conversation as per requested by his companion.

"did you tell her she smelled nice? you probably did, didn't you?"

"i would take it."

he answers, pretending that matias wouldn't take his word as law.

"groudon is going to force it one way or another. the worst case scenario is death. we already know how easy it is for groudon to throw away its avatars."

the previous champion wasn't even able to resist as much as matias did, as unlike her, matias has somehow managed a compromise that allows him to resist a surge of primal energy from his patron.

"but that is a kyle answer. i'm weak anyways. i don't want to die."

his shoulders give way to a shrug as he turns to matias.

"you aren't afraid of death though. you'll have a different answer."

"i can."

believe that matias can run away that is.

"i told you that you and the florist are the same. what you believe in can be different from what it really is."

he already ran away from his engagement. he tried to run away from the consequences of his actions by avoiding surveillance. even now, he's trying to run away from his fate.

groudon wouldn't allow it, but matias will still try.

"but i guess this is one of those times where you need to face it head on, huh?"

he smiles, and then chuckles, and ends with a laugh. a gentle nudge with his fist shakes matias back to face reality instead of the hypothetical.

"the solution's easy then."

he doesn't need to put it into words. matias has weighed in himself the consequences of the act and what he has to give up for a shred of power.

"if you're scared, just run away," he tells him. "what's stopping you?"

he blinks, and then turns his eyes to the skies, allowing matias privacy with his feelings.

"that's the normal reaction to it," he points out. "about time you showed it."

multiple events played out with matias not showing a shred of it, hiding it under a layer of brazen bravado. from his trip to land hoenn, to a solo assault on sootopolis and more, he never had followed logic.

there's a bittersweet feeling that it had to be a sentimental gift that sways matias to normalcy.

"say, what exactly are you scared of?" he asks.

his eyes widen. the same surprise that others would get at the sight of one wasn't surprising to see on the champion.

"oh, uh, wow."

for a moment, he is at a loss for words. he supposed he didn't have the complete read on if she would be so willing to hand out a bargaining chip that could keep him around.

he can't say it was out of character, though. kyle, too, would do it as a test.

"i guess this does mean she does care about your relationship to some extent." his eyes don't let go of the shard. "are you keeping it as a souvenir? is that why you haven't absorbed it yet?"

he doesn't go near it as much as he already was where he was seated. he's seen changes in behavior from groudon's greed, and to prod it further was a danger.

"fair."

he's easy to read, especially after the dream of galar. in the same vein as elisabeth acts similarly to him, she, too, becomes a second volume of the open book that is matias.

"and i told you before, she probably convinced herself that she doesn't. she knows the relationship isn't feasible in the long term, and it makes it easier to end things when she feels like she isn't losing anything."

rockets are selfish, despite the tribalistic ideology they employ for their grunts.

"did she end things off?" he asks since he already mentioned it.

"then she probably feels the same."

they had a connection. it just happens that it wasn't what matias hoped for, nor was it the relationship both of them needed.

"if she's willing to be honest and transparent, it makes sense that she played along despite admitting that she doesn't feel the same."

he looks at him, taking a bite of the sandwich as he tilts his head. eyes look for any sort of message in his expression, but there doesn't seem to be anything hidden.

kyle swallows his food before talking again.

"you're really taking this well, surprisingly," he jokes. "i really thought you'd fight more about your truth."

honesty was more-or-less a vice for him. he makes do with half-truths, but a question such as this presented in the most straightforward way isn't something that he can simply waive.

"she's quite similar to you," he answers indirectly at first.

he decides to let go of any insecurity with the situation, answering with full confidence with his grasp of the situation.

"she might convince herself that what she thinks is what she feels, even if that was not the case. both of you could be lying even if you think you aren't, if that makes sense."

and both of them are tainted by ruinous creatures which aim for a parasitic relation with their avatar as their host.

"do you actually love her?" he asks him himself, "romantically, i mean."

he hints that elisabeth might not share the same definition of love as matias did.

"you went on a date? that's cute."

he knows the hypocrisy of allowing this meeting to happen. he, too, has been cordial with during their one encounter, and arguing that it's for matias' well-being was ironic.

that meeting was to delay the inevitable by opening the underboss's eyes to easier ways to manage the volatile, nothing more.

"what happened next?"

it's too late to tell him not to, and too early to berate. he waits and listens to see how much he will divulge, as always.

COMMUNAL CURRY #7
POSTED ON Mar 1, 2024 3:27:39 GMT

CABLE CAR


kyle's curry entry

[break]
thread summary: kyle calls matias for help with a simple errand to let him know he's needed despite everyone else saying otherwise.[break]

why is it important?: it's part of the series of small threads where kyle coaxes matias into sanity by being his anchor in his trying times. he tries to inspire hope, keeping instructions clear while being vague the direction, despite knowing the volatile's tendencies.

TALES BENEATH THE DYNA TREE (LEAGUE)
POSTED ON Mar 1, 2024 3:03:18 GMT

"when you say memory, people think it has to be one that gives a huge impact when you remember it."

kyle turns to calyrex, who blinks at his statement. kyle smiles at himself, remembering that the concept itself was something that the pokemon might not understand. after all, kyle is aware that his statement differs from what everyone else before him might have shared.

"i don't have that effect on people. i'm slow. i build up relationships bit by bit. people, in turn, do the same. i don't mind though. it makes things easier to process."

there's few life changing events that he can deem personal. of the few that do, it was one-sided and something that the other parties of the memory would find minor.

still, kyle finds those small, personable events more satisfying than big climaxes.

"i usually take pictures of that day to remember it by. they're not usually the most exciting so i need them. i do have a fading memory of someone though. they don't have pictures, but i guess i can share them before my memories of them turn to vague thoughts."

there was this guy: gruff, silent, aloof. he was the opposite of personable, but i remember him being so close to him that i consider him a brother figure.

you don't see him do anything big. he really likes to keep to himself, and he doesn't make an effort to connect with other people. of the few times you see him, he spends his time doing work or keeping to himself.

i'm not even sure why or how i got close to him.

maybe i liked the challenge, or maybe it made things easier for both of us since i think we worked closely together.

perhaps it's because we share the same tendencies to keep things short and simple with every interaction that he eventually found tolerance when it comes to dealing with me.

nothing spectacular happens when we were together since that's how both of us like it. we just became part of each other's routines that i started to find it difficult how it would be if there wasn't some random gloomy guy rounding up the corner if i ask for his help.

i'm not sure where i'm going with this. i just worry he'll be gone in my memory soon even though he hasn't been in the routine for forever. i'm not even sure i'm overly romanticizing it.

either way, i guess i'll miss him until the day i forget about it.


"you should make your own memories too. you don't have to ask for stories that way if you experience it firsthand."

it felt weird giving the pokemon an advice it likely wouldn't even follow. he said his piece anyways, and it's likely to be lost to the sea of other meaningful stories, especially compared to his ramble, others have shared.

"just get rid of the older, less relevant ones if you want to make space for it," he further prods. "it'll be worth it. think of it as a sacrifice of sorts."

ironic, given that how he clings on to the piece of memory he can barely figure out.
