OUTFIT, Shinobue Song

Now came the hard part.

His face is sweating as he pulls from his yukata a wooden flute, and brings it up with his arm. Physical therapy made it a little easier, but a broken arm is still healing. Today would not be about overexertion. He begins to play a song, as he had practiced. It's not easy, and he knows he misses beats, but with it comes the performance. Toothless begins to dance within the sky, flying as a leaf on the wind upon each measure of the song, its DRAGON DANCE attempting to showcase its ability to move to the sad song, as it conjures something behind it.

A RAIN DANCE to boot, to simulate the storm that Hoenn had faced this year, the strife and turmoil born from pain and suffering. He's nowhere near the level he wants to be, and if his arm were better he could hit more of the notes, but he isn't doing too bad. He hopes.

A crash of thunder, again, a THUNDER WAVE to show the Dratini's ability to brave the storm. Though it requires a little sleight of hand, the tiny snake is tenacious, unbending to the heavy storm itself, able to fly through the storm, and show it can be every bit a god of thunder in its own right.

By the time Ashley finishes, the Dratini quietly reattaches towards his shoulders. Saying nothing at all, Ashley bows. Toothless bows its big white nose down as well in turn.

THE BORDER: ITAK

POSTED ON Feb 5, 2023 23:01:26 GMT

[attr="class","ashley1body"]

Eyes welled up, it fades when Kep comes to. It's terrifying. Like that, it could have led to him fading through his trembling fingers. It wasn't a lack of trust. It was that Kepler trusted them. And with it, as Knuckles beat the life back in.[break][break]

There Kep was again, making him fall again. Ashley's lips curl upwards. He was protecting Ash, and that only made his heart beat harder, as he holds his hand into his chest. Isaac says it better than he ever could. Scared the hell out of. But he was alive. He managed through it. He did it in his way. Ashley lets Kepler feel his heart sporadically beating. "Thank you. For holding on."[break][break]

A brief kiss is all they share, before Kep asks to help him up... and Temp promptly hoists him up and gives him the pep talk he needed. There's a sigh of relief. Guy's not wrong, and Ashley is able to get himself back to standing order. "'preciate it, Temp. Think I hurt my wrist getting Isaac out of the frying pan. Gonna have to wear a brace, I bet." He laughs it off, that grin back. Pricked by tears once more, patting himself down.[break][break]

Judgment was over. Ashley wins.[break][break]

However... Hearth wasn't the only one down. As Ashley turns to see the Typhlosion, he notices two more on the ground. Bongo AND Bass. Ashley's face is matted in sweat. Damn that Moltres. He was so preoccupied, he had tunnel vision... that's how it goes though. Love makes everyone fools.[break][break]

"Dammit."[break][break]

Returning both Bongo and Bass now, he releases one of his newbies; Salem. The Umbreon pops out, red eyes upon Ashley, as he speaks. "Kay. We're on guard duty. No surprises getting us, got it?" Salem gives a 'mow' sound, and it only makes Ashley glad he helped Felix Gallagher with that bunker.[break][break]

"Heh... glad Big Bird is out though. Means we need to get moving, just like Temp said. Let's look at that tree."[break][break]

The tree appears in the distance. Its branches filled with crimson leaves, and its bark looked as if blood was seeping right out of it. The leaves strewn about on the ground like stains left behind by the many who died beneath it. Ashley gets a bad, bad feeling from it. Enough so that he winces, only to recoil at the sight inside what looked like a maw. Something... he can't make it out.[break][break]

"Should we draw straws? The three of us that is." No way in any afterlife, current life, or past life would Ashley ever allow Kepler near that thing. So, he offers the first steps to it to Temp or Isaac.[break][break]

Why did it feel like the tree was watching them...?[break]

kepler brueshaber, Tempest Quinn, Isaac Merlo[break][break]

NOTES

- Brief kiss. [break]
-- Thank you Temp, Ash's arm is still jank. Would have tried. [break]
- Oh shit, Hearth is down. [break]
-- Oh double shit, Bongo and Bass are down too. [break]
--- It's chill, Salem (Umbreon) is OUT.[break]
- Temp is right. They gotta schmoove. [break]
-- Creepy tree. Someone should go near it. Something is in its maw. [break]
--- Spooky tree. Ashley isn't letting Kep go.

Complete silence. Ashley can't help but grin at how Kep catches himself, but more so when he abso-tively calls him out for being in a cast to give those words. A little dab of sweat from his face. He wants to chuckle.

For now though, complete silence.

He focuses on Kepler beginning. The side-bodied sashay. The quiet forward motion. It's slow, it's stilted, and it isn't gonna get Kepler to him any quicker, but with a hand outstretched, he knows that that will be achieved.

"You're doing it!" Thank Arceus, this date was going well! Lot of teaching, lot of praise, a lot of trust, but here it is! He knew Kepler could. Guy was smart, and that only made Ashley every bit happier.

When Kepler would reach him, Ashley was beaming. And showed his final gambit, the last motivation, as Maple skates around them both like a pro figure skating Glaceon could. "There's a mistletoe for us over there, cross the rink. Think you got what it takes to make it there, love?" He can feel his heart in his chest. He would get Kepler there, so help him. On god.

Ashley shakes his head. "Only brought Maple. But let's ride." Ashley admits, knowing that mistake wouldn't haunt him, just mildly inconvenience both. But, grabbing Maple from below, and hoisting him towards his chest, he gestures. "Got Maple here as a chill pad, so just be careful."

He trusted Shalin.

Now, unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on who it counted for, Ashley finds a Ninetales nearby. His silver eyes land on her, hissing towards the lava. Another stranded soul. But instead of thinking about keeping her, there was another idea that breaches the corners of his mind. With a grin, he throws another Pokeball to the Ninetales.

"Yup. That one is probably an easy sell." Best with Josh, than himself. Who knows, maybe Josh had something of major note to give in return? Not that Ash was that needing of anything.

Gambling halls, and the smell of hope. The endless pursuit of millionaire status, reaching that 7-7-7 spread that leads someone to the shower of coins that will inevitably turn their night from shit to amazing. Or the card tables, where the dealer is either cheating, lucky, or some combination of the two. It's sick. Dice too, somehow loaded to roll a the number the want.[break][break]

It sickens Ashley, but with Zev taking the initiative, and the hostess giving them the location of Mr. Raptis, Ashley would nod, stepping forth towards the stairwell. The moment they were in the stairs, Ashley begins peering for cameras. It's likely their target would have them, to keep an eye on them.[break][break]

The weight of the pistol in his jacket is heavier. That's the guilt though. Always adds a few pounds more.[break][break]

He wants to check it, make sure everything is at the ready. He has a couple of cards to play in mind. As he passes through the door to the second floor, his breathing is a little more stilted, as his eyes read door after door of this carpeted hallway, the art lining the walls to distract the mind, Ashley intending to look for Mr. Raptis. One track mind. He takes a breath in. He needs to keep it under control.[break][break]

"I'll be sure this is quick." He says by the time they reach the assigned door. Unlike the body they buried, if death wasn't on the line, it was all about channeling Kanto Rocket. Channeling THEO BECKETT . The office that would, very soon, show Ashley if he had the moxie to keep this up.[break][break]

Wavering conviction makes it difficult to pin down, but he assures it with one look. A deadpan, tired look of a Rocket way too done with this shit. For once, he thanked Theo for such a trick.[break]

Zev Harcourt [break][break]

NOTES

- Up the stairs![break]
-- Assurance to Zev he will be fast! Oh, artwork![break]
--- Putting on a face like Theo would. Even if his mouth is hidden, ooooh scary.[break]

Gavin deposits the advice that perhaps matters the most to him. Unfortunately, it's also the advice he knows well enough... that's probably why he knows he can rely on Gavin for advice. Because Ashley knows it's right.

"..." He wants to say that he's worried of hurting kepler brueshaber . Of dragging him to hell with him. There's no way Ashley could think he will have a comforting death. If anything, he will likely suffer by every mistake he makes. It's so heavy, and feeling that weight is every bit harder knowing he wants to do it alone. But Gavin isn't wrong. He knows the gravity. The weight of it bearing down, pushing them into the dirt where they'll one day be left in.

He cracks a smile.

"Yeah." An anchor. Kepler was that for him. He couldn't stop smiling. The sunshine after a long night. Gavin was right, and it speaks volumes to Ashley, like a self-fulfilled prophecy. A partner to anchor them. A person to ground them. A

"First time we were in Sootopolis, I thought you were just like the rest. I'm glad that I'm wrong, Gavin. I'm sorry I thought that way." He made up his mind. Had Gavin asked him, he'd follow him into hell.

"Isaac." came the slight panic in his cadence. He was onto something. But Ashley confirmed it, because if Isaac and Ash were both right, this shit was a lot worse. "Why do they not talk about male Truesdales in the news?" That's where he was coming from. Weight rocks his stomach, back and forth as he considers it. Maria. Elvira. Didn't matter, everytime, it was always a 'Jamieson Walker'. But that was like calling it a John Doe.

What if J.W. is just a pseudonym for a possession onto a male body?

It does make sense. The vengeful spirit feeding on them, almost being taken care of. And why the Truesdales can't get rid of it... if the original J.W. was a Truesdale, then the planets aligned. The reason three of them are in the news. The first one didn't though, right? Right?

But Ashley had this gut feeling. This terrible, awful, disgusting feeling in the pit of his stomach that it was too coincidental.

"You think babysitting... is just a means for sacrifice? To appease the Butcher? Lest they hurt the children?"

The words come out of his lips with this tremble, this look of pure nihilism, of the situation they found themselves in. He wants to believe that the Truesdales are good people. But every single thought leads back to the rumors. The level of abject horror here in this hellhole.

It needed to be dealt with. He turns on his heel towards the door. Fear weighs him down, but in this empty, torturous hellish space, he feels a resolve burn within him.

"I think... we need to end this. For those kids' sake. If it is." Things still didn't add up, but they were starting to. Another push, another clue, and they'd figure it out, no doubt. But with a rather terrible sound outside, the grinding of stones together, like chalkboards with thousands of razors running down, Ashley winces.

"We're getting closer. Might be time to make a beeline."

SPOILER: Click to show

bat-tl;dr:
- Another theory; why the male Truesdales are never talked about.
-- Ashley wonders if they are all sacrifices?
- Some terrible sound outside...
-- Getting closer to the end.

Ash finds himself lost for words. As Kep's mouth is hidden now behind his hand, that red flush stealing his attention. For a moment, he disassociates and without words, he is forced to watch. Little animated hearts likely above Ashley's head.

Back to reality, Ashley's flirty tone gets better, as he begins to down his Winter's Kiss, and with a big swig, he places it down with an audible delighted sigh. Maybe it was the taste, maybe it was that he was used to it, but Ash loved it. "So long as you do the same for me." Head tilt, throw it back, glass empty.

Oh yeah, this was going to be a night.

"Another, bartender!" He smiles wide, and turns to Kep. "Let's see what kind you are! But I promise-" He laces that hand in his own, fingers moving between Kepler's. A loving gaze from Ash.

"-I will love you all the same."

The cartoon hearts are back. Shit. Moonstruck? Yeah, that was the word. He was moonstruck.

With a beeline to the door, Ashley follows after. They were running low on forces, and Ashley's heaviest hitters were either out of commission, or needing a minute to recover. He wasn't sure if Lucia could handle that much power with such a tiny body; electricity would likely be more condensed in that smaller frame. It did have him fearful of what was ahead, but he knew Lucia was right now his club. Sunny and Pulse were his utility.

Pulse lights up the whole doorway, with Ashley using the torch to also help light it up... but with Isaac beginning to pick the lock, Ashley felt that laughter. Further down the hall. Isaac was right to be afraid. Ashley didn't want anything to do with it either.

By the time the lock gives way with relative ease, the door opens. And Ashley's pupils shrink at the room.

Chains hold a metal cage, dried blood upon rusted metal, the spikes below a promise. The room's sconces are not lit, but Pulse's flashlight is enough to make that aspect creepier. But it's not as creepy as the chair behind it. No one sits there, but a pristine, olden chalice sits upon a table, two buckets nearby on another. One of red wine, filled with century old dust, made worse by the smell. Arceus, the smell.

The dust here likely denotes a lack of use, and the wine not being poured out could be something as simple as someone not being in.

"... why is there a chamber like this in their manor? It doesn't make... sense." Ashley inquires, taking steps inside of the room to inspect the prison chamber. But something is now beginning to connect the dots. It's subtle at first, but his silver eyes light up with revelation.

"Pulse... run a search on Jamieson Walker. Something doesn't feel right." He has time to think, so as Isaac got the flashlight part of Pulse, able to move around, the little Rotom begins a search. One thing that he was hoping wasn't the case...

Maria Truesdale was 82, that's what the report read earlier. She died in 1982. But if Elvira was 8 years old, then that meant Maria gave birth at 74. That's not too big of a deal, and adoption was a plausibility. That's not what was off. He realizes the date of Maria's death. 1982. Forty years ago? A signature back then? No, that means they if they died last year, they would have been around for more than forty years doing their work. The League should and WOULD have caught him, had to have!

Pulse responds with something far more twisted.

When Ashley moves closer, the echo in the chamber makes it all the worse when it's read off using the phone's text-to-speech function. Twenty-three Jamieson Walker's found. Three known Jamieson Walkers tied to articles on the Butcher. One who died in 2021's home invasion. One who died in 1983 following the death of Maria Truesdale. One who died in 1945 of mysterious circumstances near the Truesdale Manor after multiple murders.

There it was. Ashley's eyes peered up to Isaac. "I have a really messy theory. Isaac. Fake name? I think they call it a pseudonym. It provides an alibi, and with this being harassing us, if it can control Ghosts, what if-" He swallows bitterly. The Ghosts here, what if they were a defense mechanism fighting the Butcher? The Sableye couldn't be controlled. They even had Cleanse Tags here, something Ghost Types couldn't create.

What... the hell?

SPOILER: Click to show

bat-tl;dr:
- Open to a torture room; really dusty. Lack of use?
- Ashley has Pulse do checks on the pg. 2 revelation of the Butcher.
-- Three Jamieson Walkers?

It has been days. Ashley was over it. That last death, it's not like he is completely over it, but the difference is there. There's a bit of light faded in his silver eyes, a little bit of his innocence removed. He has steeled himself. He has been able to push it down. Yes, he wasn't able to stomach his lunch the first day. But then he started eating again out of need.[break][break]

That's the thing about the human body. It still eats. It still has needs. It still goes on. Ashley got through it.[break][break]

Ashley walks in his own suit, though the suit jacket is taken off, the purple dress shirt beneath it, with tie undone. He wore his own facemask, but his black hair was starting to become silver once more, the roots silvering just a bit. He'd need a haircut and to fix that meddlesome issue.[break][break]

Today, upon the infamous Night Market, between the vendors, the hustle and bustle, was today's target. The only consolation was that he didn't need to kill anyone this time. He was good at bullshitting. He knew he'd never have to shoot them dead. Thusly, standing outside the building now, he would wait for Zev. With a slightly colder gaze, he responds with a tone to match as Zev approaches him. "I am."[break][break]

He knew this place. Not this place in particular. Gambling wasn't for him. A gambling hall. Everything from the slots, to blackjack tables, likely a bar. All of it grand, however run now by a man who was a stupid, idiot sandwich, with condiments that befitted his stupid half-witted brain. And one he had recalled in Kanto.[break][break]

Today, was about money collection. In his shirt pocket, a pistol. The same he used in that job with Felix Gallagher .[break][break]

There's no gloating. No bullshit this time. Just Ashley, and what he's willing to do. His talk with Gavin reaches every corner of his mind. That bar talk. Not to fall too fast. He just had to keep himself in check.[break][break]

"Shall we begin?"[break]

Zev Harcourt [break][break]

- Ash meets with Zev outside the gambling hall. Eyes look a little less innocent. He's doing well![break]

Shades, Drip, Catching Charmander!

Made sense. Shalin wanted to look for the entrance to the dome. With some science to boot, it did have Ashley nodding along like he understood. Book smarts wasn't his thing, but that's partially due to the fact that an orphanage was not exactly the most prestigious place of learning.

When Shalin noted to fly up, Ashley was following soon after, on the back of Sandy. Though a little funky holding on, he does continue onwards with Maple still acting as their portable, albeit grumpy air conditioner. The lava plumes all around really would have cooked Ashley alive. Hell, his arm was already sweating; the broken one in the sling, that is. But nothing can prepare Ashley for what he sees.

A male Pyroar! And Shalin had a female, look at that! Ashley was grinning ear to ear. Now that was some kitty love... all while he had his own issues to deal with.

Ever see a Charmander who is sitting by lava, and just existing? Lava kills people, typically, and Pokemon alike. So when Ashley saw her there, the immediate impulse from Ashley is a sigh. He really didn't want to use a Pokeball right now, but... with a throw of one of his Premier Balls, he lugs it at the Charmander.

Well. He always did like raising them to be big. That growth is what made Ashley's strongest.

Still, leaning out towards Shalin after retrieval, he makes a note. "See anywhere? I had to save a Charmander who... probably shouldn't have been near some lava." He's looking through that lava flow. Sheesh. This place would make a great sweat lodge, if it didnt burn it down first.

"I trust you, Shalin. Wherever it is, you'll find it. Almost assuredly." That trust, however, should not be twofold.

Pleased with Linguini as well, he watches Sunny and the Tangrowth high five, and if Ashley's honest, this is perhaps one of the cutest scenes he has ever gotten to see. A big lug like this guy, and Sunny? Best of friends, Ashley just knew it.

When Linguini revals their plan, the wooden crates with that red R, the cargo they had hauled here, it was clear from Linguini's lovely showing of charades what the intention was. Now this, this was something Ashley could get behind. Making the League look incompetent, and having dealings with the League. He cranes his head to Mint, gives a singular nod, and begins to assist Linguini where he directs.

At this point, he works under Linguini's command, with Sunny helping as well, though... tiny rabbits don't have arms.

Ashley wasn't particularly the brightest around. No formal education makes it hard to really say he's anything BUT street smart. He learned everything from an orphanage when he was young, after all, and left when he had enough with it. Foster care wasn't great for it either. But he knew what he was good at. Every crate he helped Linguini with, he made sure to listen to where it needed to be. He could do this much.

So, he would. But oddly enough, the whole time, he keeps thinking over his friendship of the past. Jayden. It's leaving a bittersweet taste in his mouth, because all he can think of right now... was the happier memories.
