He hadn't seen Darcy in years, and then Ada was supposed to avoid the place where he had shown up? Absolutely not. But this Mistra was different- dark earth and dark skies. Dead trees lined a cobblestone path, and the clouds were tinged with red. Bats- not the weird pokemon, but bats- flitted just out of eyeshot. "Darcy?" Adarsa called, voice terribly small in the strange setting. The cobblestone hurt, under his feet, and every movement made him jump, fear rising in his chest. "Darcy? Are you here?" Surely Tuesday hadn't truly killed him... right? Hearing footsteps behind him, Adarsa turned, trying to see what it was. "H- Hello?" He asked, uncertain. Nothing answered. He shivered, and walked a bit faster away. He- He just needed to find Darcy, and then he could go. burmy \|\| 50/100

"Please," he said, lacing his words with pain and poison both. "Are you looking for someone here, too?" his eyes lit up. it was a foolish question. and if the man didn't babble, leaking information all over the floor. his brother, darcy, his older brother whom his boyfriend- ex- had killed, right here in mistra. sarthor listened, and feigned kindness. of course he understood. of course he was empathetic- the boyfriend was in the wrong. that was your brother- you were right to be possessive over him. so much mindless chatter. sarthor offered a smile. "We can work together to find him? I'm sure here's still here." he said. "I can feel it." espurr \|\| 50/100

He was also looking for someone dear- a friend, who'd wandered in here but had never come back out. Adarsa understood- how couldn't he? "We'll find them," He said, with a reassurance he didn't feel, helping hold the wounded trainer up. "What- um, did you get hurt here too?" The trainer- it was so strange, most of the other guys were bigger than he was, even in a game- leaned into him more, fingers catching on his shirt. "Yes, I... I had trusted someone else to keep me safe, but..." "But they hurt you, instead?" Adarsa interjected, pain lancing his voice. Of course Lacrimosa would understand- but were there really so many terrible people here? "I just- I thought I could trust Mars to do the right thing? Darcy- he- He wouldn't ever act like that. And Mars knew, so- so why-" He shook his head as they walked. "He didn't even try anything. He just- just stabbed him." Lacrimosa made a sympathetic noise. "People who are affected here... there's always hope for them. But... not for people so closed-minded, out there. I'm sorry." Ada huffed. "Don't be sorry, I- I'm done with him. I never want to see him again." He hated Mars. He hated him, he hated him, he hated- Pain. It struck him like a knife- or, more accurately, like a bullet, a thick winding branch from one of the dead trees having twisted, curling to find the wound still in his chest, settling and growing and twisting there. "I-" It hurt- he couldn't breathe- "H- help-" And the other trainer just stepped back, and watched like he was some sort of insect pinned to a frame. burmy \|\| 0/100 jGZ2nz\|i1-20 1-20

"Tell me what more you need." he breathed, to the mist and the trees. they did not answer. that was well enough. if the corruption needed more, he would find a way to give it. espurr \|\| 0/100 FwwlWjK31-20 1-20
