Death By Nightmare

POSTED ON Aug 31, 2023 3:07:47 GMT

[attr="class","samjertop"]

[attr="class","samjer"]

[attr="class","samjermain"]

Postal workers were always credited for their perseverance in the face of bad weather. But neither rain nor snow stopped the once-good detective either.

Cases like this were his fix. The only thing that sated the hounds of vengeance which bayed for blood and diversion. Outside, the rain formed a curtain of sorts—the opening sashay of a murder mystery drama.

“Thank you,” Nikita’s wan voice purred to the man in the front seat. The driver pushed his door open as he strode to the side door. Dull blue eyes peered through the tinted glass to the stately mansion behind. The typically tired gaze was filled with hunger. Grabbing his simple suitcase, he and his Houndstone climb from the car.

After taking a brief moment to examine the exterior—pinpointing a recent change in the landscaping—Detectuve Sokolov makes his way inside. Beyond it are a group of four people. A servant who’d rushed in at the elderly woman’s demise. The victim’s great-grandson who’d recently returned from overseas. The Galarian diplomat who’d been attempting to foster ties. And, in the middle of it all, was a floating Gengar.

Covered in a sheet, the deceased lay beneath a blanket. Her face had been twisted into a mask of terror.

The guard at the door stepped back to block the entrance. “Miss Calcifet—?” His voice rose slightly. “Would you be so kind as to join me in the adjacent room?”

I wrote this once, but Proboards ate it. Thanks Proboards.

kelpie x nikola
She'd definitely use her for her own purposes. I could see her treating her like a mule or errand-runner. Ask her to do all the dirty work needed for her work. I don't think she'd harm her outright. Definitely manipulate her, however.

madd x nikola
I can see these two being friends. Maybe Madd saves her from some creep or they get assigned together on a mission? A trip to the Wilds or the RKS mission? They could just meet up at the bar.

nikita x nikola
I could see him offering to help her find the professor. Maybe she approaches him for help piecing her life back together? This kind of mystery is one he enjoys. Especially since it can end with a bullet in a nasty scientist's head (not that he told her that).

biscotti x asch
Biscotti is very susceptible to manipulation by pretty girls. I could see him being a fan of her music. Maybe they meet up somewhere and she just uses him? In an alley somewhere?

asch x kelpie
Two alpha bitches in the same room? Talk about fireworks. Maybe they can do RKS together?

Nikita offered a simple nod to the gym leader at her confirmation. “Much obliged.” As the transformation took root, he lifted a cigarette to his mouth and lit it. To protect young lungs, he took a few steps away from Ettie and her pack.

With a hawk-like gaze, he watched as the gym leader unleashed Mega Energy on the organ. At first, it bounced like a plate of gelatin—seemingly unharmed. “Hm.” His typical frown tightened into an even thinner line. But, then, he saw it. The outside layer of the thing cracked. Spider webs spread across its surface.

Something gushed out of it—viscous like the rest of this place. It crashed against the surface before disappearing. The niggling at the back of his mind lessened. “It appears so, Miss Ettie.” Though not conquered, it seemed to have retreated in its assault. It reminded him of a frightened Squirtle retreating into its shell. With the thing’s confidence rocked, the dead-ended path became more apparent.

As the detective moved to resettle his cigarette, he noticed scales and webbing upon his hand. The scales appeared higher than the time before—as if this reality remembered his former trespass. With a sigh, the dark-haired man nodded. “I suppose that it is for the best.”

He gestured the girls down the path they had traveled. “Ladies first.”

MASK MAKING (CARNIVAL)

POSTED ON Aug 15, 2023 15:11:55 GMT

Inspired Pokemon: Houndoom
Inspired Move: Comeuppance
Inspired Type: Dark

Nikita's night time mask is similar to this one, but this one has flesh and bone on it. Combining mythological armor with the visage of Detective Winters I, the investigator's mask represents both halves of his life. The thing was pulled out of a box that'd been saved from his house fire and left on a shelf for years.

Nikita observed the encounter with hawk-like eyes and pursed lips. He watched as her neutral expression filled with panic. The woman’s breathing grew hectic as those fingers tightened upon the pulsing thing. It seemed that its defenses went beyond the threshold. It made him wonder just what the lump of flesh represented. Was it perhaps truly an organ?

If so, that would mean this place was neither sea nor alternate dimension. It would imply they were like Jonah—inside the belly of an unidentified whale. A rather disconcerting thought made him check his arm for signs of stomach acid.

As Johanna stepped away, the paranoid feelings swelled like an operatic crescendo. His skeletal fingers closed to an almost painful degree, leaving pockmarked palms behind. Then, like a tide, those feelings flowed back out. The sword’s clattering produced a similar effect. What an insufferable piece of flesh. It made him feel things he did not wish to. It drudged up the specters of corpses he’d numbed into a stupor with alcohol and illicit substances.

Blue eyes flashed as he stared at the thing. “Miss Joy, you have the capability to Mega Evolve, do you not?” If they were to make progress in this place—and if he was to find his target—they needed to tear its defenses apart.

“Perhaps that will do the trick.” While a believer in mind over matter, Nikita understood that sometimes correct solutions were brutish.

The poisoned needles sprayed across the square. The poison-type’s head moved in time with Nikita and Winters’s apparating. The man’s thick jacket protected against most of the toxic spines—only a few grazing his hand and cheek. PING! The sound echoed again and again as the attack bounced off the skeletal dog’s hide.

The detective’s pleas seemed to have little effect upon the rampaging kaiju. It continued to attack until it could not breathe anymore. Which left it facing Zakuro. So distracted by the second tier of the Maslow pyramid—security—Nikita failed to notice the addition of an audience. But the young woman’s words made his eyes widen. “Dorian!” The guilt vanished as he placed himself between them. “Even with your glasses are you truly so blind?” He swept his arm out, the trench coat absorbing most of the remaining needles.

A few of them got past his guard and headed straight for Doom Bear.

The last thing the HBIC agent needed was a lawsuit. “I appreciate your help, madam.” Nikita’s voice raised a few decibels. “But this is merely a misunderstanding.” While polite, this comment earned a roar from the poison type. “KIIIIIING!” Its horn began to glow green. Nikita scoffed, “Dorian, do not be so pig-headed. I was not calling you--”

A sigh pushed past his lips as the Nidoking lowered its head. “I would suggest you move.”

Nikita looked for signs that the man had been somehow involved in this disappearance. The alibi was not exactly one that could be easily corroborated—unless one of the farmhands was also a voyeur. But he did not see any signs of such. The man did not show common signs of deceit. In fact, when compared to many he had the pleasure speaking with, he seemed relatively open.

Clear eyes swept across the farmland around them. Blue eyes crinkled at the thought of dropping his trousers out here—as if he was some desperate camper. Some part of him wondered where this man had chosen to do his business. It was not that he had never answered nature’s call, but it was not something he endeavored to do. “There is a reason it was not the last.” The detective shook his head. “I shall have to take your word for it.”

Fortunately, the conversation quickly progressed from the benefits of relieving one’s self au naturale. He watched the man’s movements with an almost hawk-like gaze—as if this statement was a mouse and he a starving hawk. “So, the cow waved its fingers?” The man asked with a hint of incredulousness. The question was meant with a snuff—a glance shared between him and the eyeless dog next to him. “I do not wish to rush to conclusions.”

He jerked his stylus upward. “Can you tell me anything about the vessel? Was it a spheroid? Triangular?” The sky itself was on the darker side. A benefit of such a rural location. But all that open space also provided ample opportunity for deception.

As Michael spoke, Nikita continued a silent contemplation of the scene. At some point, his phone went from his pocket to his hand. But it seemed he was not texting as much as he was doing research. With surprising swiftness, he scans the pages before him. The rows of letters reflect into his slim glasses, a mysterious deluge of alphabet soup.

The victim is young, he is correct about that. But something is foul with this theory. Wan blue eyes sweep away from the door to another hidden behind the shrine itself. Perhaps the artifact room? Blue eyes shift toward the trappings of modernity behind them. The detective could better understand the appeal of the simplicity at his back. Once upon a time—the night he missed his wife’s funeral—he’d thought about bestowing it on himself. Albeit in a more permanent manner. Instead, that gun’s first bullet went into a skull that wasn’t his.

The elder detective turned back to face Navy. “Have the monks reported anything missing?” If this was a case of theft, it seemed strange that no one had checked--especially in the face of such odd circumstances. The man and his hound shared a brief glance as the younger man volunteered to track them down. “You are free to do as you wish.” It’s almost dismissive. Everyone knew he worked alone.

Bright eyes dropped to his spectral hound—formerly a handsome Houndoom. For a moment, the ghost of affection flashed across his face. Almost alone.

“I have two questions.” One skeletal finger went up. “First, how do you propose the ‘artifact’ moved from here without the assistance of this corpse.” A concave chest was rarely conclusive to walking. “Second, where is the evidence of this explosion? The infinity energy? The Teracrystal sheddings?”

While others would insist on more familiar terms, Nikita did not. It did children well to show deference to their elders—even if those elders were fools or half-dead wraiths.

The man’s piercing eyes stared the young woman down for a moment. But he saw no signs of dishonesty. “It is interesting how much statistical improbabilities prove themselves the opposite.” After all, once something occurred, it turned into a certainty. But something in her words made her pause. “And then they just left you here? How strange.” Though droll, his tone held something that might have been a specter of teasing. It did not take his mind to realize Miss Uehara was likely working off the books.

Witnesses were always a lovely way to lose tagalongs. It also gave him an excuse to not deal with the bereaved or traumatized. The work Robin had done to smooth out his edges had been worn away long ago.

“Let us investigate the scene.” As Shion interrogated the specters, Detective Winters put his bony muzzle to good use. Floating an inch above the ground, he tried to follow the scent of the deceased and the one who had discarded the middle-aged corpse. Unfortunately, many people cared about their Pokemon. Their grief and presence swirled the area into a maelstrom—one even Winters struggled to untangle. He did, however, turn up a broken Smart Watch a row or two back. From that vantage point, the dog saw the ajar gate—something his trainer had spotted long ago.

With a frown, he placed it into a little plastic bag at his waist. It could have data useful to the investigation—if it was connected. It could be another red herring in this case.

When the cadet spoke, Nikita’s eyes raised to her. With a poorly smothered grunt of pain, he forced his knees to straighten from his squat. “If it continues the game, it is not out of turn. As long as you interrupt politely.” Dusting off his legs, the pair approached the gate. Though whoever approached tried to hide his or her track, he could spot signs of disturbance.

“Let us think while we walk, Miss Uehara.” The Mismagius disappeared as they approached the gate. He certainly had his theories, but it was better to teach someone to fish than to enable laziness. “First, what would necessitate such an obliteration of the head?” A simple question with only a handful of answers. “Second, what does the choice of entry point tell you?”

The gate swung open with a gritty squeal. Nikita gestured her through. “Please, ladies first.”
