"It's not the waking,
it's the rising."


She doesn't react when she feels something brush up against her leg. Moving slowly, Alecto peeks at the space beneath the piano, eyebrows raising when she finds a pair of feline green eyes staring straight at her. It is not the ghost Alecto is expecting, but - she can't help but be drawn in by the mischievousness that sparks in its eyes.

Alecto knows better than to try and pet it. Instead, she lets her hand hang in the air, waving her fingers in order to coax it closer. A few seconds pass before she feels a wet nose pressing against the skin of her hand, and then a loud purr erupts from the Purrloin.

This... was not the pokémon she had in mind at all when she decided to come here. Still, Alecto can't help but feel a connection to this little guy. He was trouble - she knew it.

When the safari ball touches the Purrloin and engulfs it there's barely any resistance from the pokémon.

"It's not the waking,

She's sitting on the piano bench when a shadow coalesces into the familiar figure of a grinning Sableye right on top of the piano. Alecto stops playing, lips twitching ever so slightly in amusement at the sight of the species so close to her heart. Her own Sableye was her first pokémon, and her most loyal.

She plays a few more notes and watches as the Sableye tilts its head and disappears back into the shadows. Although Alecto is partial to Sableye, the one she has is more than enough. No, she's aiming for new species.

With a flick of her hand, Alecto draws an arcane symbol on the dusty surface of the piano. Perhaps it would summon more ghosts to her location.

"It's not the waking,

The pale figure reminds her of coral reefs and Alecto quickly recognizes the Cursola behind the curtain; despite its ghostly status, it is not one she's looking for.

Leaving that room behind, Alecto decides to investigate what seems to be a music room. Most of the furniture appears to be hidden under pale sheets, which is a nice touch given the whole theme. At the end of the room lies a piano - and Alecto can't resist playing a few off-key notes that end up echoing in the wide chamber. 

Well, if she hadn't made her presence known before, it certainly would be now.

"It's not the waking,

The door creaks ominously as Alecto leans into it, much like one would expect out of a - what was it again, a haunted house?

The interior setting is clearly well thought-out and it doesn't really surprise Alecto much when the door slams shut behind her. The dramatic flare, while appreciated, doesn't seem to bother the woman much.

Her green eyes sweep past the rotted armchairs and the cracked staircase, the elegant cobwebs and the darkened corners. Her hand lingers over the dusty handrail before she climbs the staircase - up to the next floor.

There are shadows where there should be none, and a faint cry - like that of a lost child - echoes in the chamber behind her. The small hairs on the back of her neck stand on end, but instead of fear, there is a flare of interest in Alecto's eyes. 

Fascinating little creatures, ghost types.

Alecto spends some time exploring the upper part of the mansion, delighted at the care the Safari Zone staff had put into the whole atmosphere. This was a perfect playground for any ghost type.

The chills on the back of her neck make her laugh out loud, and she turns to find something staring at her from the shadows of a threadbare curtain.

"It's not the waking,

If anyone asked Alecto about her cooking skills, she would simply shrug and tell them that cooking was like any other essential, yet boring skill one would acquire through life in order to survive. Those who knew her better also knew that she approached cooking with the same mindset as one did science experiments - she liked to stray away from recipes and come up with entirely new things, or reinvent classic dishes.

Sometimes they turned out brilliant. Sometimes they were garbage. Thankfully, these rice balls were one of her tried and true recipes.

Alecto gulped down another riceball with with all the enthusiasm of a kid who'd just been given a whole box of candy. There was some leftover rice by the side of her mouth which she quickly swiped away. Meal devoured, Alecto leaned back with the most satisfied expression on her face and sighed. When she opened her eyes, she recognized the serious look on Jaspar's face. He could be very intense when they got down to business - but then again, so could she.

Anticipation bubbled in her belly as she copied his movements, leaning forward. Her eyes glinted with excitement as he spoke. "The boxes are at the back of the bookstore, we just have to get them down to the basement, which should be easy." 

She thought about the basement itself, judging its size without all the trash that'd been there previously. "One of the walls should have books and research material. We already have that here, but feel free to bring more; we'll have space for our growing... research." 

She pursed her lips. "The altar could stay next to one of the walls, preferably away from the books. Also, there will have to be enough space to conduct rituals. Pentagrams and pentagons take up a lot of space." She didn't feel like having to move everything around just because she wanted to try a new variation of a summoning circle or something like that. "And we need a big table for research. I have one downstairs that might serve the purpose." It used to be where recently released books were displayed, but Alecto didn't need it. "Also... I was thinking of getting a whiteboard." It didn't exactly go with the vibe of the whole place and she didn't know what Jaspar would think of it - but it would be extremely useful as they pieced things together.

"It's not the waking,

"I much prefer villains myself. Take a villain away and the hero becomes purposeless. Take the hero away? The villain wins." Her lips curled in a faint, mocking smile. "You have to respect someone who knows what they want and go for it, regardless of what the world thinks." There was an undercurrent of mockery in Alecto's voice, but it was very faint.

Of course, reality was much messier than that. There were no neat divides between hero and villain, thankfully. The world would be a horribly dull place otherwise.

Still clutching the heavy tome in her hands, Alecto looked around and sat in the middle of the circle, careful not to disturb any of the markings. "I've always found it curious how people seemed so keen to give pokémon human-like traits - but only the good, harmless ones. I suppose it brings a measure of comfort. Compared to them, we are very fragile, and no one wants to think of murderous monsters sleeping next to them at night."

Green eyes shift from the woman to the Mismagius and there's a shift in them; they do not warm, exactly, but there's a glimmer of interest in them. "That's silly. Maybe they used to match people for their own amusement. Trickery is one of their domains. I don't know about them being monsters. I never had one myself." 

Saint suddenly pops out of the nearby bushes dragging behind him a floating, half-chewed Drifloon. The later didn't seem very impressed at having been dragged around, but Saint was cackling manically and yanking on the Drifloon's limbs, jostling the balloon-like pokémon. Alecto threw a pokéball at the Drifloon, hoping to catch it for herself.

"What brings you here? You are a regular visitor, given your earlier words."

cold with feeling [m/o]

"It's not the waking,
it's the rising."


Rolling dark clouds had threatened rain ever since early morning, locking the world below in a sort of early penumbra. The day had dawned cold and stagnant, not a drop of wind to be felt - and now a low mist rose between the tree trunks and over the river, adding to the whole mystique. Around Alecto, faux torches attempted to liven up the small ren-faire, casting flickering shadows everywhere she looked.

It was magnificent.

The woman sat in a plastic bench, leaning against one of the metallic beams supporting her tent-like stand. A plethora of books lay before her, most of then pertaining to some sort of mystical art. There were a couple about history and mythology too, and some interesting first editions. Most were trash, however. The real treasures Alecto kept safely guarded in her bookstore.

She blew on her hands, trying to warm up her frozen fingertips. That's what she got for not moving in close to an hour, pouring over her latest research notes. She needed a warm drink asap. 

Her sharp green eyes fell on the moving crowds, appreciating the whole medieval aesthetic, but otherwise utterly disinterested. Maybe she could offer a discount to whoever brought her some of that warm mulled wine?

"It's not the waking,
it's the rising."


The normally serious countenance of Alecto's face would be replaced by an equally impish smile when Jaspar bumped into her, and before she knew it she'd find herself humming under her breath a song she didn't know the lyrics to.

Her green eyes shifted to the Claydol and Elgyem at Jaspar's words, stopping her dusting for a couple of seconds to watch their exchange of blinking lights. "Seraphim is only this lively around certain pokémon; I wonder if there are language barriers between different types of pokémon? Or maybe it is just their natural inclination to speak to those who understand them." She nudged Jaspar playfully. "Much like us."

In the meanwhile, the Claydol flashed its eye-like appendages, agreeing with the other pokémon. It lifted a few things into Golurk's arms with its psychic powers, but otherwise simply levitated there.  It wondered, for a moment, how humans managed to survive without psychic powers. They were so very, very fragile. Hilariously so.

By the time the cleaning was almost done and the broken furniture had been taken outside by a very enthusiastic Golurk (and a seething Kadabra), Alecto's clothes had turned a - literally - dusty grey. The two grimmy windows near the ceiling had also been cleaned, letting in some natural light into the otherwise darkened room. It looked very empty all of a sudden, and Alecto couldn't help the smug smile of satisfaction at the end result.

The woman let out a sigh of relief as the last of the dust was dealt with and immediately sagged against Jaspar. Her arms felt like limp noodles - besides carrying books, she wasn't used to any sort of physical activity. Her stomach suddenly let out a loud rumble that brought a flush to her cheeks. She tilted her head up at Jaspar. "Lunch? I have some riceballs upstairs. We can talk about the decorating while we eat." It was a bit late for lunch, but she was hungry - and a hungry Alecto was a grumpy Alecto.

"It's not the waking,
it's the rising."


An eyebrow quirked up in amusement at Katherine's comment about Alecto not being as crazy as Katherine thought. Alecto was no stranger to being seen in a less than favorable light by others. She was well acquainted with derision and with being made an object of ridicule. It didn't bother her much; small minds couldn't grasp at the kind of knowledge Alecto was working to unearth and understand.

So when Katherine didn't immediately (and apparently at least) shove Alecto into the loony compartment, it only served to whet Alecto's curiosity even more. She closed the book she'd been holding in her arms and shifted to face the other woman. "Curious thing, that." She didn't seem to notice the Natu that approached, didn't even startle when it landed atop her shoulder. "History is a maze of prejudice and narrow-mindedness. Everyone thinks they're the hero of their own story - don't you?"

Saint wasn't as enthused about having his shoulder space occupied by the bird. He hissed through sharpened teeth and used FOUL PLAY to trick the Natu into falling to the ground - prompting Alecto to throw a pokéball at the wild pokémon.

The dark-haired woman wasn't familiar with this place despite her nighttime wanderings. She'd studied it theoretically, but this was the first time she'd actually come here at night. "It is peaceful. Saint seems to like it anyway." The Sableye grinned horrifically and let out a sound akin to a cackle. Alecto didn't bat an eyelash when the ghost-type vanished from sight.

"Ghost types are fascinating creatures. They have abilities that evade scientific explanation even to this day. There are theories, but..." She'd read quite a few of those while studying. They'd only roused more questions in Alecto's mind.
