MEMENTO

POSTED ON Jul 15, 2021 17:32:30 GMT

smears and words snide

spinning round and round

she had been careful enough to cover her tracks. the man had cowered as he burned. he had been driven to the brink of insanity, pulled back just as quickly with a splash of reality. this will be your life, she'd whispered as her houndoom scarred him with his forever-burns. she had never murdered anyone with her own hands before, and yet the prospect hadn't bothered her that night. despite the hospital staff merely a hop skip away from him, she had resigned him to death, and was wholly surprised to find out months later that he had not succumbed to his wounds.

she had been careful enough to cover her face, to wear her porcelain mask. that vigilante identity, never before removed from her painted room, was so far detached from anya, and as such, eons away from molly, that the idea of being found was nonexistent.

so she paints in her studio, holding up her guise that she is simply a law-abiding citizen, a struggling artist trying to make her way in a world upended by ceaseless destruction. there is always turmoil, and there are always threats, and so there will always be art--so she still sees patrons, no matter how somber, and they chat with her as they peruse her studio.

she lifts her gaze periodically from her work, fingertips stained red and blue, and she gobbles up information about the outside.

her achilles' heel, however, twinges, because in the cocoon of her self-assurance, in the complacency within her fortified tower, she underestimates the anger of a man with nothing left to lose. and it is this anger that brings a newcomer to her studio. the rest of her gallery is empty. she greets him, idly, as she refreshes the paints upon her palette.

[attr="class","freypost"]the way he responds to her touch makes her smirk. the tension shudders one last time before melting away, and the image of his shaking, stricken human form is locked tightly in a box and brushed under the rug in her mind.

attraction blossoms as he whispers words of power, but still she does not give in to his leanings. it's too delectable, the way he wants her, even if he may not realize it.

still, she gives him something, a warm kiss to his top lip, so that she might murmur her words against him, thrumming flesh to flesh: "we're a dying breed."

will there be humanity in the survivors? they will not walk through this fire unscathed.

"but you and i are survivors, silph." her fingers drop from his cheek to his bandaged arm, fingers curling around that broken/god-touched place. "and the world is ours to shape."

[attr="class","freypost"]pondering the future in all of its inevitabilities is a taxing prospect, especially after the night the two of them have shared. and perhaps that is why she can finally stomach leaning into him, that the nightmare from earlier, that stark humanness in his eyes, clouds itself like a bad dream.

her revulsion for him dwindles as he continues to recover; here is the man like no other that she has come to enjoy.

she sets her tea cup down. the poipole stares at the nidorina as though unable to grasp its loss of control over the creature. it chitters irritably and drifts down the hallway, disappearing into another room.

shiva and kain make no noise from their posts and so anya does not fret.

she reaches up, touches neatly manicured nails to the side of his chin; stubble slides under her fingertips. "you're my icarus, my sweet. just remember—they never blame the sun for his fall."

[attr="class","freypost"]"we should fear the worst of an enemy who has no regard for their own well-being." there were others who studied alongside her, back when she was an average mind among a team of geniuses.

'you see, talia (because that was her name all that time ago), they could be the world's most terrifying weapon. look at them go.' and the durant skittered, chittering, crawling over the apex predator that had fallen to their gnashing jaws--several of their companions lay on the ground, but the durant crawl over them with no morose.

'and yet trainers, the very idea of creating teams and separating them from their species, makes this phenomena irrelevant. the durant doesn't want to rule the world. it just wants to live.' and they march onward in a single file line, leaves and berries clasped in their jaws, to bring sustenance for their queen.

"you could continue to spread this infection, then. find out why the beasts have such influence over them. have total control over monsters that would fight to their very last breath?" a fantasy, really. she loves her lions, but even they would have their limits--they are only animals, driven by self-preservation, by hunger, by fury.

she takes another sip of tea. "how are you feeling?"

[attr="class","freypost"]and what is too expensive for hoenn's wealthiest man? he is much like her, and she can guess that any affliction to himself, any inhibition, will cross that threshold and prove too much. she sips her tea.

"there are forces at play we're years away from understanding," she says, words a bit more biting than she intends them to be. her frustration slithers back into her belly with a sigh; her own obstacles are just that--her own. she's no need to show fernando her anxieties.

she laughs. "only you could have forgotten about such a thing." oh, how she would have loved to extract it sooner, to at least examine it while it expanded its nerves into his skin. though it may have lain dormant, there's no doubt that the tag has slowly been entwining itself through fernando.

and how much of it is still in his blood? in his bones? in the fabric of his being? perhaps, if he weren't an avatar, he would have succumbed to its poisons.

the poipole he'd lent to her glides to his untouched tea and dares to take a sip. "your monster has been quite agreeable."

she tilts her head, reaches into her purse, and withdraws a black-painted ball. the poipole's blank blue eyes flicker as anya tosses the ball.

out from it pops her shadow nidorina. the creature's fur rises, fangs bared, and it lunges with a guttural snarl. a hum fills the air and as quick as it is to attack, it stops.

the poipole's thrumming wavers and the nidorina sits. "your mention of a hive-mind mentality leads me to think that 'shadow' pokemon should be viewed as infected. i don't know the original source of this infection, but the facts point to ultra beast origins. i'm curious to know if other beasts can control them as our little monster does."

she dryly adds, "and after a brief study of said little monster's cells, i can confirm that they are, in fact, classified as stage ones." she pauses. "it can evolve."

[attr="class","freypost"]"so you're shooting in the dark." as smart as fernando is, he's studied business. and while there is an art to undercutting and skirting corners and strategic dealings, it takes a steady touch to handle the scientific process. to throw caution to the wind for optimistic fantasies...

that revulsion emerges yet again. she turns her ankles, but doesn't remove herself from his lap.

"and how much are you planning to give it?" she asks. "if it needs more?" how much is fernando silph willing to sacrifice? his pawns, his rooks, his knights--surely. but pieces of himself? of the king?

and what of his queen?

the kettle graces their ears with a squeal and she slides nimbly away from him. after preparing two mugs, she sits beside him, offers the steaming tea out to him.

"i'll need samples from you. and i'll have a list of some new equipment."

she takes a sip. "and keep in mind that when you continue to keep information from me, you raise the risk of failure. i'm an asset. you've no choice but to trust me."

she narrows her cold, blue eyes at him.

[attr="class","freypost"]while he wishes for it his own means, while he wants it so that he can be king above something more than ash and bones, she still marvels him for his voraciousness. so flippantly does he discuss his part in bringing the human race into a new age.

they don't discuss much aside from his wants and his needs from her, and so she has no idea how many pieces he's collected, how close he is to forming the entire picture. all she knows is that her research is but a small part of it, important nonetheless.

these moments between them, however affectionate, are still veiled with a necessary need.

she takes him to his couch and upon his moment of rest, glides over to the kitchen to put a kettle on. she rifles through his cupboards, surprised at her own familiarity with them, and raises a brow at his assortment of teas.

"last i was here, you had slim pickings," she says as she plucks some phoenix jasmine from the shelf.

while it steeps, she settles back onto the couch next to him, curls her knees into his lap. the revulsion from earlier is still there, lodged like a pit in her stomach, but with every moment of strength that he gathers, that feeling lessens.

"and part of that bargain was walking away with an otherworldly growth attempting to eat you alive from your arm and onward?" she raises a brow.

[attr="class","freypost"]"and will you be sharing what it is you wished for?" whatever it is doesn't concern her. she has her tasks and her resources, and that's as simple as it should be. but inquiry is her achilles' heel and she can't help but burn with curiosity as he struggles to stand, as she asks herself what is it that made this worth it?

fernando is not a man that would treat his own life so dispensable.

"once it stabilizes," she says with a scoff as he sways to his feet. she slips under his arm, eyes glittering. "come. i'll make you tea and we'll leave it to rest for now."

the poipole hovers nearby, watching the exchange. anya turns to her lions. "keep your distance from it. fetch me if anything changes."

[attr="class","freypost"]the makeup under her eyes does an impeccable job of hiding the ever-present shadows under her eyes. but the adrenaline has worn off and her exhaustion shows in the dip of her shoulders, the shaking of her fingers before she casually reaches for her things.

"i wouldn't be surprised if it outlives you through the night," she says with an arch of her brow.

still, she leans a bit closer to inspect it. it arches towards her angled face, but she keeps a good distance.

"there was another tag before this, yes? did you ever witness it act so...parisitic?" she frowns. "i'll check on it every hour, but there's only so much i can do with visuals."

if she were at her laboratory, she could put it in a cell block that could read its vitals, if it had any.

the anomalies make her head hurt. there are too many variables. the impossible is not her field of study. she's much more comfortable with the implausible.

she snaps her fingers at one of his ditto servants and they return with a cool towel. she presses it to his forehead in an attempt to ground him. her eyes stay on the tag all the while.

[attr="class","freypost"]in the silence that lapses between them, she pinches her cig back between her fingers. the end makes an audible sss as she takes a drag. smoke curls from her nose, swirling around that vaporous mist that rolls from him.

duress. pain. his body tremors, though only slightly.

any pillar can fall if you apply just the right pressure. her eyes narrow and she sends her thoughts scattering.

"i'll be staying the night, of course. you're to cancel whatever plans you have for the next twenty-four hours. i'd demand more, but i know this is already too much to ask for." she rolls her eyes.

the poipole, bored now, starts to swirl amid the smoke. it drifts low and anya jolts as the tag shudders, lurching upwards. her fingers snap and the poipole flips upward like a marionette, tail raising as it settles on anya's shoulders, eyes flickering with a faint blue light.

the tag settles back down. anya stubs out her cigarette. "i need to study you, see if it's made any...lasting damage."

she sniffs, scratches the poipole on the side of its head. "don't think this has anything to do with something as frivolous as worry." she straightens, arches her back like a cat, and waits for him to deny her.
