Sixteenth Quirk | The night is dark and full of terrors (Video - staticy)

[for_realsies]

*Imogen looks like she hasn't slept well the past week, and that she hasn't seen sunlight in a week. Omen (Absol) and Talent (Espeon) look just as ragged, the former just looks dirty while the latter's eyes are closed as they move about in the fresh clean air. The only thing that looks taken care of on Imogen is her dress... it's the one from the icon there. Black straps on the abdomen, a rainbow tutu attached, long sleeves... odd choice of outfit.*

So... ever woken up in a cave you don't remember falling asleep in? Then trying to get out of the cave, finding the exit, running toward it... and ending up in a different cave? THAT WAS MY WEEK!

...And I thought the weird dream about Sasuke hitting on me and taking me for coffee was weird...

Also... do any of you have memories of this place from before you came here? I mean... like... no, it's weird, nevermind!

*Crazy cave dreams, that's all that was. Of her being her from when she was still obsessed with Eli. Yeah. That's it!*

Anyway, I'm trying to figure out how I got to Mount Moon. Thor, Steve, Tony... where are you guys? As I need a bath, a hug, and a massage in... some order or another. And a lift to town. See... Aglon fainted, and I don't have Wildfyre's pokeball for some reason.

...Tell me nobody went surfing up and down the edge of Cinnabar...

How'd you end up all the way there?

[This is going to take longer than she thought. Good thing she already left.]

[for_realsies]

I don't know! Teleport doesn't work that way, and Parkay isn't with me anyway.

Did I get really really drunk? I don't really drink all that much at all, but all of last weekend is fuzzy and odd, and I think Sasuke ended up in a dress...

And not the good kind of fuzzy. Or the good kind of odd! And pink is not Sasuke's color!

[buckyouup]

Now that y'mention it... my memory is a bit hazy from the last couple days, too.

[Not even going to comment on Imogen's friends ending up in dresses. That's just something you come to expect, living with Rarity.]

You ain't hurt, are you? I should be able t'get there in a couple hours.

[Having already swapped Spook for the much faster Knight, Applejack takes to the sky. The large bird lets out a happy, metallic screech.]

[for_realsies]

Plus there's all the not right Pokemon too. Which worries me more than the memory stuff. Because it's... well, not not not not not not right at all!

I'm fine, Aglon needs to be taken to a PokeCenter, and I need to find where Wildfyre is. Oh, and where the three extra sleeping bags came from. That might be worth looking into...

Still, I have my pretty dress from home!

[buckyouup]

At least you won't be looking for a place t'sleep. [She chuckles.]

[for_realsies]

I could use the extra ones to make a fort!

*Totally valid answer.*

[buckyouup]

[Snicker.]

Don't let Pinkie hear that. The two of you will be buildin' for hours.

KEYWORDS

[for_realsies]

...Why? That'd be fun!

[buckyouup]

At least you'll be entertained.

[She swears, the two of them were separated at birth at some point.]

The train'll be leavin' in a couple minutes. I'll be there soon.

[for_realsies]

Which would be way better than just waiting for something to go wrong!

*Would explain so much.*

Thanks... this isn't too much trouble, right? But I guess I might as well make ponies rescuing me a thing!

[buckyouup]

...We are pretty good at it, ain't we? But don't worry. It's no trouble at all. S'what friends are for, after all.

[for_realsies]

No blizzard this time? So it's not some super big rush like last time.

[buckyouup]

Well I'm still hurryin'. Your pokey-mon are hurt an' I'd reckon you're hungry.

[for_realsies]

...Well, I am kinda short any way to light a fire to cook. And running low on the no cook stuff...

So maybe hurrying is good.

[buckyouup]

[Chuckle.]

Don't worry. I'll be there soon an' we can go get lunch, my treat.

[for_realsies]

It's a date then!

*No shame at all.*

[buckyouup]

Y'sure you wanna date me so close t'Fluttershy goin' home? I wouldn't want you t'be just a rebound.

[You can almost feel the sarcasm.]

Keywords again.

[for_realsies]

Consider it practice. You need that right?

[buckyouup]

You have no idea.

[for_realsies]

Oh, I think I have some idea.

I'll see you when you get here!

[sitdownbecider]

[And one long train ride and another flight later, AJ is back on her Gear.]

Alright, Sugarcube. I'm in Cerulean. How far into the cave are you?

[for_realsies]

I'm sitting out front teaching my not fainted or missing Pokemon how to play blackjack.

I just can't fly because Aglon is out cold.

[sitdownbecider]

...Lost your poker chips?

[Heading for the cave now.]

[for_realsies]

I'm dealer because I have thumbs. So I'm not really playing. And we're using trail mix as chips.

*So Imogen is going to just be sitting there playing blackjack with her Absol, Espeon, Blastoise, and Sceptile. Because it seemed like a good idea at the time. Omen's winning because Talent can't read his mind to cheat.*

[sitdownbecider]

[AJ approaches, riding her Tauros, who moos happily at the collection of pokemon.]

Hope I'm not breakin' up your party.
