see right through your beautiful lies ( semi-open )

[dolosa]

[ When you awaken, you're in what seems to be an abandoned warehouse; it looks like the place hasn't been used for its original intent in ages, though the smell of copper permeates the area. The carcasses of corpses lie around here and there - some dismembered, some completely intact - along with creepy, oversized masks of rabbits.

The warehouse itself isn't that big -- there's two floors, and many doors. However, each door is locked, and the only way through is to find a key.

However, you're not alone. There's a girl who seems to be panicking nervously, fiddling with her skirt anxiously as she sits on her wheelchair, glancing every now and again at you, not all that certain as what to do. At least, that's before you awaken, which is when she gasps in sheer surprise. ]

You're-- you're finally awake.

I...I should have been more careful.

[ The words are small as he's barely able to get them out. But he should have. None of this would have happened if he was more careful and thought things through.

Maybe if he didn't always trust strangers so easily either, but that's likely a lesson he'll never learn. ]

[dolosa]

You should have. Then I wouldn't have a reason to kill you.

[courageousbonds]

Ki...kill me?

[ He's trying to stand up now thanks to those words. ]

Are you?

[dolosa]

I wouldn't. I'm not so sure about her, though.

[ She says this ominously, as if that's the cue for a certain someone to show up again... ]

[courageousbonds]

H-Her?

[ She doesn't mean who he thinks she means, does she? Considering that's the only person he knows about in this warehouse... ]

missed me? will the same order work? (Rei-Ash-Mitsuki)

[bystandering]

[There's footsteps and Mitsuki reappears. This time, with something a little more...forceful...than a tranquilizer gun: a fire axe.]

...is he harassing you?

[dolosa]

Don't worry; he's not bothering me at all, Mitsuki.

[courageousbonds]

[ A shiver goes down his spine when Mitsuki reappears. This... this isn't good. He manages a small step back without nearly falling back down, but otherwise stays silent. Maybe if he doesn't say anything things won't go downhill.

Er... more downhill then they already have. ]

[bystandering]

Good...I wouldn't want anyone bothering you.

[She doesn't move forward but it's obvious she's acting more than a little differently from before.]

[dolosa]

Don't worry, we're just talking right now. If he tries anything, you know what to do.

[ Her voice remains serious before she beams at Ash. ]

If you're willing to take your punishment, put Pikachu and your other friends down and walk towards the door over there.

[courageousbonds]

I...

[ He's hesitant to put Pikachu down. Especially with Mitsuki right there. He doesn't want Pikachu to get hurt anymore than he has, nor does he want his Pokemon to get hurt, either.

But... at least if anything happens his Pokemon can come out and defend themselves. His Mom, on the other hand... ]

.... Okay.

[ Putting Pikachu and his Pokeballs down now, although trying to keep an eye on Mitsuki while doing so. Please please don't harm them. ]

[bystandering]

[She's watching him closely. She has no interest in the Pokemon--they're only obstacles. She doesn't say anything, though. It's not her show to run.]

[dolosa]

[ Rei takes light steps towards the other Pokemon, smiling gently. ]

I wonder what would happen if I woke this little guy up.

[ Provoking Pikachu to wake up? Naaaaah. ]

[courageousbonds]

[ Ash immediately tenses up when she says that. He wanted Pikachu to wake up earlier but right now? He's really uncertain. If Pikachu was awake right now then... ]

He... he won't be happy.

[ Which is certainly true, if anything. ]

Please. Just let him be...

[bystandering]

Does it really matter?

[She only had a vague idea of what Pokemon were and any possible consequences.]

[dolosa]

It doesn't, so let's wake him up.

[ :')

Poke, poooooke. Pikachu, wake up or else she'll ask Mitsuki to kick you. ]

[courageousbonds]

But it does! You... you want Pikachu to stay here, don't you? It'll... it'll be easier if he's asleep.

[ Pikachu's body stirs when he's poked, ears twitching a little after. He'll wake up just a little, though not yet fully aware of his surroundings yet. ]

Pikachu...

[bystandering]

I'm not that interested in him.

[She's here for only one thing and that has nothing to do with Pikachu.]

[dolosa]

See? Mitsuki won't hurt him. I don't want to keep them here, though, so I'll let them go once she's killed you.

[courageousbonds]

No that's--

[ too late. Pikachu's ears shoot up and his eyes open once he hears Rei's words. What did she say? It takes him a moment, but as soon as he realizes that Ash is a few feet away from where he is he's going to try to go back to his trainer. ]

[bystandering]

You heard Papa. That's a promise.

[She glances at Pikachu briefly. She shifts her stance slightly so if there's any running from Ash she'll be ready to move, too.]

i could have sworn i tagged this and then i found out i didn't

[dolosa]

Oh, how sweet. It's amusing how your Pikachu wants to stay with you right until the bitter end.

haha it's okay~ ♥

[courageousbonds]

A-Amusing?

[ He was about to run before Mitsuki changes her stance. He gives Pikachu a small signal to not come closer which only confuses the electric mouse more. Why? ]

[bystandering]

[She's definitely moving towards Ash now.]

[dolosa]

That's right. Amusing.
