The pinkette just grins. "That's why cats have nine lives.' Dull fingers flexed at him--as if a kitten showing off teeny-tiny claws. as she stared at the lack of aftermath. One trainer kicked irritably at shards of rock. The broken remnants of a once fired trap.

"Better to be dead than paranoid." A life like that sounded terrible. She was a kid not a turtle. And, she wasn't about to turn and run at the first sign of trouble neither. It wasn't what Daddy would do. "It makes me think you need a therapist." Then again, her own sunniness shocked many people. For a kid that went to bed hungry most nights, she had a lot of faith in the future.

"This sucks." Harper murmured as they passed over a broken trip wire. This she also toed with her foot, hoping to get anything out of it. All this work and her heroic moment turned into nothing but a museum tour. Finally, they reached the room at the temple's base. "And, it's gone." She pointed to a platform where a gem once sat.

Underneath a pile of rubble, a stone gleamed. The last thief to die here clutched to it like it could save him from the giant boulder that'd crushed his spine.Harper just shook her head. "Adults always say that." She blew an errant puff of hair out of her face. "But it still hasn't happened. I'm starting to think it's bull." It wasn't like they ever gave her a deadline or anything. So, if she ever learned, they could just tut-tut and say they were right. "And, I always do." Unless it was Daddy asking her to do something. Obviously, she couldn't just ignore her daddy. Except when she did.

With eyes aglow with Sableye greed, Harper scooped the thing from Dorian's hand. With a smirk, she tucked it in her messenger bag. As if to make sure it hadn't levitated away, she gave the worn thing a couple of pats. "Daddy's going to love this." She snorted. "Shows him useless." Nodding to the elder man, the pinkette would dance her way back to the surface. Then, they'd make their way home. Which for her meant one of five different abandoned storefronts.

Hopefully, they hawked this thing off for a good price. Obviously, a lot of people had wanted it for something.

The first time her dad told her she wasn’t a Pokemon, Harper had cried. A lot. It lasted for hours. Big, salty tears that soaked through her pillow and ratty thrift-store blanket. Even to this day, that idea made her angry. They got to control lightning and pass through walls. She got stupid Passimian hands. But having these guys—her Pokesquad— almost made up for it. “Be a lot less fun! That’s for sure!”

Now closer to the ground, she felt like a caged Pidove. All she wanted was to climb, climb, and climb until the people here looked like ants. Down here left her feeling exposed. A prime target for the rough-and-tumble Pokemon that called the trash heap home. At the question, Harper turned to face Hideo. The pinkette shook her head. “That was a few blocks over. This is just where they like to hang out.” It was smelly, dark, and ugly—just like them.

As the Orbeetle rose, she spotted a few people below. A few were in aprons smoking behind doorways. One of them with a needle mark up the inside of their arms—dead to this reality. But three people seemed a bit more dangerous. They were talking about something crude, their lips twisted into vicious, demanding grins. One lit a cigarette. “Ain’t got much in the way of guests this week. Beat boys better step that shit up, eh?” It was obvious they didn’t mean guests but victims.

With a glance up and down the alley, Harper moved to bound across the street. Her movements were as light as a spring Deerling.

When chattering turned to the news, Harper’s nose wrinkled. It was gross. Everybody was always all doom and gloom. It didn’t matter that there were all kinds of new parks and stuff around. “Yeaaaaaah. Me neither.” Harper agreed. “It’s always super depressing.” How Daddy sat there watching it all day, she didn’t know. Maybe he had a crush on the weather guy?

Sometimes but not always? Why’d adults always have to make stuff so complicated? Who even came up with all these rules? “Huh.” Harper tilted her head. “I guess that makes sense. Some of my brothers were supeeeer tall.” A hand lifted to a spot somewhere above he head, waving in a scythe-like motion. At the talk of non-binary, the pickpocket blinked. “Oooooh. My bad! I got a sib like that.” Personally, she thought it’d be super-duper confusion. How’d you decide where to buy clothes? What about going to the bathroom?”

The pickpocket’s lip lifted in a feline hiss. ‘“Cowards suck. You can’t trust ‘em with nothing.” She remembered the number of times her underlings booked it when a mark got testy. The way they just tossed her under the bus the second stuff got hard. Then, she remembered the time she spent with @dorianwestcliff. Was that weird paranoia just another form of cowardice?

“Well, that’s good.” The teenager was beginning to get twitchy. With the mask out of reach, a lot of the fun had evaporated. “And, I bet you want a lot more rest. Those are some big shadows under your eyes.” The Pokemon next to her chuckled.

Then, as quick as she appeared, Harper was off. The destination? The office fridge.

“Well, that’s good!” Her and Daddy knew all about rationing. Or, at least, she did. The cat always ate first. Just like how you put on your oxygen mask before feeding your kids. It totally made sense. He couldn’t take care of her if he was hungry!

Harper had a hard time sitting still. She paced. If sitting, her legs swung like on a playground swing. A constant shifting of position marked her entire demeanor. But, during the magic show, a surprising stillness overtook her. Every flourish of the woman’s wand made reddish eyes widen. This total enthrallment continued from the show’s beginning to the end—a private world where Jade no longer existed.

Occasionally, a hushed ‘Did you see that?’ would sneak through her silence. As if the man wasn’t lying right next to her peering through the same foggy, broken window. To Harper, this dirty window was as good as a front-row seat.

To Harper, this view through a dirty window was as good as it got. When the curtain swung close, she clapped along like a cymbal monkey on coke. “Dang right, you enjoyed it! She’s the best!” Not that Harper had anyone else to compare the woman to (except herself). As she pulled herself from the portal, the darkening of the room became apparent. It was getting super-duper late outside. Uh-oh.

Then, her companion was up and leaving. With a burst of energy, the scrawny kid surged to her feet. “You too!” The pickpocket chirped back. “Try not to get robbed!” She smirked. "Again."

All this talk of daddy made her wish he was the one walking next to her. He'd probably be better at it than Chinese Takeout hair next to her. The fact that he wasn't hurt. "Yeah." She muttered. "I just did."

Harper smiled. "Daddy says pain is the best teacher." A mindset expressed in the hundreds of white scars dotting the girl's extremities. "And, it's not like this way killed me or nothing." After all, she'd done plenty of risky stuff and she was just fine.

With a huff, Harper rolled out from under him. "It's just air, Mister Dorian." She shook her head. "I'd be super surprised if any of this junk still worked."

She muttered. "All those people probably died of boredom."

The pinkette just grinned at the stuffy man. Her tongue stuck out at him as she danced across the floor. “That’s only because those people died.” She shook her head with a sigh. “Waaaay more people have that and have been perfectly fine!” Just like she’d be. These traps were ancient. She doubted most of them even worked anymore.

When the guy mentioned Daddy, the girl’s mood soured. She could hear the derision in his words, and to Harper that was akin to blasphemy.. “That’s because he doesn’t have time for you!” The girl muttered—turning to face him. An old tennis shoe barely danced over a pressure plate. “And he’s busy.” Doing what, Harper didn’t know. But it had to be important, or he wouldn’t have left this to Captain Dandruff Shampoo here.

His rebuttal drew a wrinkled nose. “I already know how to do that stuff.” When most kids were playing with plastic keys, she’d been fumbling with secondhand lockpicks. And backflips? Hah! She could totally do those in her sleep with her eyes closed. “This kind of stuff ya gotta learn through experience!” It isn’t like normal people had trap axes in their backyards. Unless they were some crazy rich butthole.

“That’s almost as old as you!” Harper responded with a teasing grin. There was a click beneath her as a tile sank a couple of inches. “Uh-oh.” With a hiss, Harper dropped to the ground. “Get down!” Empty puffs of air followed as long empty dart barrels activated.

The pinkette just grinned. “It’s my way. That means it’s the best way of looking at it!” Unless Daddy felt differently, of course. In her view, the crippled cat was akin to God. An immovable, permanent piece of the universe who was somehow all-knowing and all-good “And, anyway, if you’re here and you’re dead, what else would you be?” Laws were silly sometimes, huh? You were dead cause some clipboard said so.

As expected, Harper didn’t notice his annoyance. Even if she’d be super pissed if someone called her a ten-year-old. The mask kind of made it hard. “Oh!” She chirped. “It’s kind of hard to tell with that thing on your face. But Daddy did always say boys grew waaaaaaaay slower than girls.” That was probably why she was so much taller than a lot of kids her age.

Harper nodded sagely. “Yeah, I get it.” Before the fam had gotten disbanded, everything became her fault. Not because she was the eldest, she wasn’t, but because she’d been first. “It sucks getting in trouble for what someone else did.” Like the time one of the older kids had stuck a wad of chewing gum in Daddy’s tail. She hadn’t been able to lie down for a week!

The pickpocket nodded. “Yeah! A big Liepard! He found me after a fire and took me in.” There was so much pride in her reddish eyes. This was definitely a case of hero worship. The boy’s next comment made her blink. “All by yourself?” She hummed thoughtfully. Talking to people didn’t tire her out. It was fun! “Did it help?”

The urge to fight back was strong. Kittens didn’t get to be top cats by turning their tail at every jumped-up guard dog. “Yeah.” She muttered, more to herself than anything. Without the old crew beside her, life was lonely. Her Pokemon filled that void. And every one of them was equally important. “I dunno what I’d do if something happened to ‘em.” Just the thought had almost shattered her heart.

At his shout, she nodded her head. “Of course I do!” When this world slept, she prowled the rooftops like a grungy superhero—Batman, in other words. She’d climbed over every part of this district a hundred times.”I’ve seen the place before! Big stupid light is hard to miss!” The outside of the center was a familiar sight. It served as the backdrop for the hundred nights she tried playing Nurse Joy with Moo or Tinkerbell. Though she used shipping tape for bandages—real Band-Aids were out of her budget.

At his next protest, the thief stops. She hangs from the rungs of a fairy escape like a Pansear posing for a picture. “Uhhhh...guess not!” She drops to the ground with a heavy thump. “I wouldn’t want them to split us up, either.” Then, she’d probably have someone else to rush to the Pokemon center.

As they reached the next intersection, the thief would pause. She lifted a finger to her mouth with a hiss. “We gotta be quiet.” She swallowed. “Those assholes like to hang out around here.” There were a few shitty apartments for them.

The pinkette listened—surprisingly respectful for once. “My dad thinks that too. I think.” At least, he’d worked her pretty hard. And, obviously, he hadn’t become the world’s best cat burglar in the world by napping all day! “It’s why I—” She caught herself. Telling people that she stole for a living wasn’t a good idea. Especially when she was in her magician persona.

Harper figured she could make it fine on her own. Like Daddy said, humans took forever to grow up, but they didn’t have to. Heck, it’d been at least a week since Daddy came by to check on her and she was just fine. Maybe a little bit hungry, but that’d change after the restaurants closed. People always tossed out all kinds of good stuff. “I betcha learned pretty quick though!” Just like how Daddy taught her to swim! Tossed her in the deep end of some poolhouse they broke into! It worked!

“You said you’d never seen magic before!” She chirped. Paint flaked off the window as she tugged it open. “I wanted to show you the real thing.” Or, at least, as close as a street kid could get. Below them, a curtain rose at the child’s place in front of them. An excited grin spread across Harper’s face as she pushed herself closer—as if she could meld with the sight below.

The pinkette nodded along with the older boy. She wasn’t really listening, but she knew it was wrong to say that.

The thief knew how to avoid angry people. It was kind of lesson numero uno. Even if she hadn’t actually stolen from these people, she figured the hiding part was the same. “Yeah, yeah. I got plenty of bolt holes out here.” Her lips pressed even more tightly together. Some part of her was tempted to run back and bop the leader in the nose. “I ain’t a chicken, yanno? It ain't that I'm hiding.” A worn hand gently stroked the cat’s velvety fur. “Just can’t let 'em get Twiggy.”

With some kind of payment worked out between them, she felt comfortable standing up. She had enough debt without worrying about owing some kid stuff too. “That’s all I need.” She nodded resolutely, finally remembering the balls in the thrift store satchel at her side. “Promise.” Sure, she was a thief, but there was some honor among them. Usually. Kind of.

The talk of ambushes in the street made Harper blush. She didn’t want to admit she’d been in an alley. That she usually lived in an alley. With a final glance around them, the pickpocket took a deep breath. She savored the cool night air. “I’m ready!” Tightening her hand around the ball, she took off down a nearby alley. “Last one there’s a rotten Exeggcute!”

She turned to face him as she vaulted around the edge of a dumpster. “My name’s Harper, by the way!”

Though still traumatized, Harper’s tears quickly dried. She only flinched a little bit when she almost ran headlong into Ryker. Instead, she offered up a tight-lipped smile.

A few of the charbroiled Megapolans began to rise. Skin flaked off their blue skin like burnt flecks off of a marshmallow. The unseeing eyes turned toward the amateur magician and her entourage. That brief stare was enough to sap all her courage. “You don’t have to tell me twice!” She raced ahead of Dorian, surprisingly nimble. Lockers and upended desks proved little obstacle to her.

With a grunt, she jumped onto the giant lizard’s back. The Castform—a little sun in this land of darkness—clung fitfully to her neck as the ground dropped beneath them. Clinging tightly, she turned to watch their assent. A grin slowly returned as the wind whipped at her face and hands. Sadly, gravity caught up with them soon enough.

Dark pink eyes stared blearily into the room beneath them. “Yeah, yeah. I’m good.” A sigh shook her tiny frame. “Just gonna be hard to get what daddy needs from way up here.” But that was a problem for a different her, huh?

Normally, Harper enjoyed card tricks. They were something she could use her sticky fingers for that didn’t result in some butthole screaming at her. This time, though, her fingers shook. All the faded, sightless eyes turned on her as the cards shuffled into a blur. With slow confusion, they watched as the things shuffled.

Hearing Dorian racing up behind her, the thief stiffened. She swallowed down her nerves. With a grunt, she threw the deck at the Megalopans. Thinking it was food, a few of them lunged for them. Looking back at Dorian for approval, she grinned. Tears still ran down her face. “It’s called 52 pick-up.” Not really a magic trick, but a distraction. Which, at the end of the day, was all magic was about.

Confused and hungry, a few of the Megalopans began to grab at the cards. They stuffed them in their mouth, dirty black saliva rolling down their fronts as they sucked at the cardboard. As one swiped at her, Harper dropped gracefully to her belly. “Moo! Fireblast!” With a look of determination, the Castform unleashed fire upon the undead. As it hit the cards, they flashed bright white.

Gurgling intensified as the creatures began to fight over the brief light. Each desperate for just a touch of relief in this unending darkness. Screeching as the fire caught, they fell to the ground.

With a shaky breath, the pinkette scrambled to reunite with Dorian. In the hallway opposite, she caught sight of Ryker walking past. Trying to ignore the smell of burning flesh, the thief moved to tug the older man in that direction.

MASK MAKING (CARNIVAL)

POSTED ON Aug 15, 2023 15:23:56 GMT

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

This mask is handmade from construction paper. It's not cut very well. Golden dots circle the mask itself. Designed to resemble her daddy, it's predominantly purple and gold with a small streak of pink. The string tying it together used to be a sash from a woman's shirt. The whiskers are made of discarded wire. She really wanted a pink mask, but Daddy would be mad if he saw it.
