Ghost lost in the forest - Event

[Luna Sallow]

**

☽ Luna Sallow ☾ ☠ There's two sides to every story ☠ Luna looked over the maze entrance and nodded, noticing the sign above it pointed out there was a small list of rules beside the entrance and so she stepped up to it to glance it over as her pokemon rushed in ahead of her. Rolling her eyes, she hurried after the duo and caught up, listing off what she had learned as she moved. "Ok so we aren't allowed to attack or damage the maze itself, there are going to be frights and scares in here but we arent meant to attack or hurt any trainers we need and if we find wild pokemon, try to explain to them whats going on or lead them outside but if needed, subdue any in distress to keep the games safe" the gijinka explained, Evi turning her head to her trainer to listen, then nod, as the Deino beside hr just kept charging forwards. This resulted in a few bumps in to the berry bushes and trees around her, but she made her way well enough that the vampire cloak she had on was only just getting ripped and worn as she paused, waiting for luna to catch up. Evi was in a simple dragon costume, for her, a pair of wings and she had lost the attached "legs" at the entrance but luna smiled as she watched the duo, they both seemed so excited for this. @mod

The wonders of the maze offered themselves up quite readily to the by-appearance-only vampire and her draconic companions. These wonders included faintly glowing eyes deep within the bushes, only given away by the occasion tripping hazard of a previously rug-covered electrical line; the a ghostly sheet filled with half-deflated balloons, tethered to a shrub so as to give the perfect illusion of some malevolent being moving and waiting for a victim; and, the traitorous, motion activated recordings young children wailing and indeterminate beasts snarling.

All of this complicated the maze and would make the journey to its heart all the more frightful. But, at the moment, a simple problem presented itself to Luna and her party: the first split in the path. One might describe this path as going northward and that one as going eastward or some other description befitting someone used to telling direction by sky and sun-made shadow, but for this visitor, the choice was simpler.

Make a choice.

Right or left?

☽ Luna Sallow ☾ ☠ There's two sides to every story ☠ Luna noted as she walked there seemed to be someone around them, following them. No, wait. As she paused and looked closer in to what she was sure was eyes within the bushes, she relaxed a little as she noted there was indeed something there but the way it seemed to be floating was not as she had first thought, disembodied and coming for her pokemon, but in fact balloons. "Well credit to them, they put a lot of work in to this, its pretty darn good" she commented as she started to walk again, letting out a small sigh which totally not to do with how relived she was but out of excitement, of course. If she told herself that enough, and with Evi sticking closer to her, the trainer was confident she would do just fine in this maze. Unless she hit someone, which she was very much worried about. Pushing the thought away, she smiled a little to the sounds which were reaching her and she was sure were coming form hidden speakers all around the plants and the feeling of her feet moving over what she was sure what the set up for it all. She was about to chuckle on the matter when she heard a voice ahead, speeding up to catch up to dora to find her at a cross-roads. "Pick one! I dont know! Im not getting blamed for getting us lost!" the dragon demanded in an excited tone, Luna smirking and rolling her eyes, but turning down the right path and beginning to look around this new path. @mod

The right path was lined with fat wepear berries. They had small symbols carved into them. Closer inspection would reveal that they were in the style of unown lettering, but who could blame busy workers for inaccuracies? The runes certainly gave this section of the maze a decidedly occult feeling. Though, the cauldron full of dry ice (safely blocked off by a grate!) did loads to add to that atmosphere.

Along the path that Dora definitely certainly could not be blamed for, there was another woman. She was dressed in overalls. She took her hat off to scratch the top of her head as she considered the path.

“Could probably have ‘im just eat through these hedges, but I know they’d kick up a fuss…”

It was about that time that the woman noticed the other approaching and plopped her hat right back down on her head enough to shade her eyes, giving a smile and waving. “Don’t mind me none! Got split off from my friends, tryna figure out how to reach ‘em!”

This cowgirl's missing her friends.

☽ Luna Sallow ☾ ☠ There's two sides to every story ☠ Luna paused as she walked, Dora quick to take the pace back from her trainer and speed off in front of her before she noticed she was alone. Luna was watching Evi, the water type scanning over the berries around them and she opened her mouth to comment before luna smirked. "I mean they have tried hard, truth be told, the langauge they are trying to use is dead to the world and almost no one speaks it" the dragon offered up to the grin, her face sheepish as she spoke before dora barked out her own reply. "I hear movement!" she all but shouted, turning around on the spot and hopping in place as Luna moved over to her, turning the corner to find, another trainer. Luna listened as the girl spoke, moving her eyes over the other trainers form and sucking in a small breath. She was assuming, she was seeing the worse, it was not what she thought it was. "Oh yea? Im not much good at mazes myself, its why i got my fearless leader and smart cookie with me. Do you have pokemon? Maybe they could help" the blue haired trainer offered, her tone trying its best to be freindly even though there was a real element of fear bubbling up under it. Evi and dora shared a look at the tone, seemingly both wondering why this had their trainer on edge, but luna surely was braver than this. @mod

“That so?” she politely asked. “‘Fraid I didn’t think that far ahead. I got one of my pokemon on me—”

Here, she patted her hip, where a pokeball could be seen.

“—but I think he’d get so spooked here he’d be liable to tear the whole grove down!” She chuckled heartily at all of this, turning her face back to the wall of berry bushes she’d been looking at before. Not once during the entire time she’d spoken had she looked Luna in the eyes, keeping her eyes low to the ground as if shy.

“S’okay, really. 'M a big girl 'n' I’ll sort myself out. Don’t mean to ruin yer night.”

This cowgirl's missing her friends.

☽ Luna Sallow ☾ ☠ There's two sides to every story ☠ Ok, not liking this so far. Luna sucked in another breath, trying to wrap her arms around herself as if she was cold, or shivering, since it was a maze and she was trying to seem worried. "Ahh, i can understand that, i think dora might get there one day" the girl tried to sympathise, very much wishing in this moment she had a way to explain to the pokemon her thoughts. Dora on the other hand, or foot, was grinning and glancing around. "Well yous lucky, im real good with the smellin' type stuff and Evi is real good at seeing things others miss, we'll find your freinds in no time, and then, you owe us a reward!" the dragon explained, offered, and then just started to waddled on and begin to act on. She was sniffing the ground within moments, Evi moving to take her side beside the other female and glanced around as Luna looked back to the other girl. "No point in tackling a job alone when others are right there, my mother used to say "takes all sorts to crack a diamond" and i expect that works here" the trainer offered, moving up to stand beside the other girl. Her words were picked carefully, her eyes were dancing over his girls outfit and she kept pinning her hopes on those brown boots and the hat. Surely she worked here right, she was being dramatic, but then again, no pokemon and those colors were enough to clearly put Luna on a whole different kind of "on edge". @mod

At first, she thought the woman and her dragons was moving on. After all, she couldn’t hear what Dora was saying. She was human and unfamiliar with deinos; ergo, their species-language was not clear to her. But, Luna had to go and dismiss that thought. The cowgirl kept looking at the grove.

“... Ya aren’t subtle none.” She glared at Luna over her shoulder. “Dang it, Satu’s too slow to giddaway!”

With that, she bolted! Running in boots wasn’t the easiest thing, but this was a maze. All she had to do was ditch Luna and… Well, what then? If Luna wanted to find out anything at all, she was going to have to follow Sphene. Or, she could continue to explore the maze. After all, Sphene hadn’t been actively doing anything except staring at the berry bushes.

What to do?

It's Sphene! (... And, Satu.)



To look for Sphene, roll.
Or, Luna can continue exploring the maze.

☽ Luna Sallow ☾ ☠ There's two sides to every story ☠ Luna growled out a small smug noise as she looked over the other trainer at her words, "Arcues dammit i knew it! I doubted myself and everything, girls get the hells back here! This one needs her butt beat and shoved in a jail cell!" the trainer shouted out, throwing out a hand to try and grab at the other girl before she shifted, making luna grab right past her and almost stumble. She fell forwards in to the berry bushes around her, pushing herself up as she felt her hands beginning to warm and she sucked in another breath, not here, not now. As the other trainer took off running, luna righted herself after a few seconds and then pointed her pokemon in her direction. "New plan, track the lying two tone twit" she called out, earning a small frown from Dora while Evi rushed to keep pace with their now running trainer. "Find the girl, stuff her freinds, find her now!" Evi explained, making the confusion slip from Dora's face and a grin replace it, nose down to the ground as she moved after the sounds of her quickly chasing trainer. Persian - DgCroliy

The thing about a maze is that there was no promises of diverging paths. It was luck that led Evi and Dora to come straight to Sphene—good for them, awful for Sphene. The blonde found herself in a dead end. The berry bushes here were thick and thorny. The dark red roseli berries, too high for anyone here to reach them, formed a macabre halo over where Sphene found herself cornered. It was all dark green leaves, brown-black thorns, and rose-blossom-mimicking berries.

“Dang it, dang it, dang it!” Sphene whined. “Didn’t even get nowhere!” She tugged on her hat, pulling the brim down over her ears and partially over her pigtails before she snapped the pokeball from her hip and slammed it on the ground. “Aw, this is gunna mess everythin’ up…!”

In a flash of white, the drednaw appeared. Slow and massive, he clacked his sharp beak once in warning. His trainer remained behind him, still mid-freakout.

It's Sphene and Satu!

☽ Luna Sallow ☾ ☠ There's two sides to every story ☠ Luna was quick to keep after the other girl, she had seen enough of these people in her life to know where there was one, there had to be others and after the chaos that came with them last time, was not losing someone again! That being said, as she rounded a turn and found the other trainer right there, the girl blinked and then grinned, seemingly a little shocked at her own good luck before she held out her hand to her pokemon. "Alright, now you are either clearly younger than me or brought in new since i got no idea who in the hells you are but how about you tell me what you are here for and why. Howard never risks sending out grunts unless he needs something or something big is happened and i was there for the last "big thing" happening, im not about to let you all do it again in a place like this" she snapped, looking over the pokemon the other trainer sent out with a small swallow. "Dont you go thinking some pokemon is going to worry me! You wont get away with this, im going to stop you, im going to stop all of you!" luna called out, quickly trying to go over the few notes she had from that stupid file she had been reading at Bii's. They had been drinking and chatting, she had been focused on plants and their pokemon and their siblings. No, wait, she did remember a hat on the list, the pokemon and trainer, their names matched up. "So basic names then, no stone yet? Not earned much? Or is he even yours? Still borrowing from the pool and got a favorite?" she found herself asking, trying to narrow down what she could remember. Persian

She didn’t do a good job faking the confidence she didn’t have. “Maybe I’m just tryna have some fun, y’think of that?” she spat, still mindful to keep the drednaw between her at the other party. “Ain’t I allowed to cut loose? Would ya really rather me get serious?!”

What did strike a cord was the correct mention of the issue of rank. Frustrated, Sphene stomped her booted foot. “Ugh! Cain’t you mind yer own beeswax?!” She reached down, rubbing the water type’s shell. “Satu’s a good boy ‘n’ he’ll take care of you ‘n’ keep me doin’... none of yer business, and that’s that!”

Sphene frowned, as if suddenly realizing that Luna was offering words and not action at the moment. “... N’he will. If ya don’t move ‘n’ lemme go, he’ll handle ya good. So… So, just back off, ya hear?”

It's Sphene and Satu!

☽ Luna Sallow ☾ ☠ There's two sides to every story ☠ Luna scoffed as the other trainer spoke, rolling her eyes once more. "In that? Seriously, maybe after having burned down a building known to all the region and tried to flatten like 4 different towns, change clothes once in a while!" the girl called over, though the offer to try and do thing properly was tempting. She wanted very much to batter the girl around, though the large pokemon between them was going to make that very hard. "Oh, touchy touchy huh? What is your name, even got your own assigned yet since you clearly dont have a stone yet?" she tried to goad the other trainer, though the girl was quick to prove her latter point. "Oh, so he's yours? Here i thought you were so low down you didnt even get given a pokemon yet, impressive, you have a pet. Besides, i've made it pretty clear i know the group, come on, what "y'all" up to this time?" she taunted the blonde, smirking and trying to hide her whisper to her pokemon behind another scoff. "If it attacks, Dora, move in to strike it before i can strike you" she whispered in a hushed tone, eyes glaring daggers in to the other girl. Persian

Luna was right on the money with the standard colors being touted. This only made Sphene panic further. She tugged on her pigtails. “Well, excuse me fer havin’ a li’l pride! Least I belong t’somethin’, ya weirdo!” Clearly, the girl’s pride was deeply wounded by all of the correct observations. She sniff with irritation, throwing her chin up to try and seem offended and not fully frazzled.

“Since yer sooo anxious t’know, m’Sphene! And, if you don’t lemme go, once things go down, I’m gonna make sure everyone knows yer here so they can take care of ya! You'll find out real close 'n' personal!”

Despite all of the tension in the air, Satu hadn’t yet moved. Were they, too, observing the rules? Sure, there was yelling and screaming from all around. Their heated conversation could get swept up in that. But, there was not yet the sound of a battle anywhere. The sound of combat would be something new… Something attention-grabbing.

And, Sphene had been trying so hard to stay out of notice before.

It's Sphene and Satu!

☽ Luna Sallow ☾ ☠ There's two sides to every story ☠ Luna scoffed as the girl snapped back at her comment, "Oh please, you idiots normally do better than "werido" and what you belong to is a group of people trying to remove an entire race of beings who did nothing to them and just want to live their lives. How can you think thats ok?" she countered, quickly moving on to wave her hands around herself. "I mean for goodness sake this is a halloween event, people are here to play games, eat sweets and have fun. And you? What part of halloween did you come to enjoy?" she jabbed at the other trainer, wondering if this tactic might get her further than the other had. Truthfully, she wanted to battle, but she was also aware of breaking the maze itself let alone the pokemon or people who had to be in here working it. No, she didnt want people getting hurt because of this. "Oh, how nice to meet you. I was Amethyst back when i had dark hair and pale eyes, and a uniform like yours, really think they'd all come running to bring me down" she replied to the diamond prat, not really sure of her own bluff, but determined to seem sure. "So do it...." she growled after a few seconds, confident she could contain this, but then what the heck did she do? Persian
