Compared to Ostellia, Asper looked like a speck of civilization in bumfuck nowhere, where the most intriguing activities were scratching your ass and taking hits off moonshine. REN was living it up; they threw themselves off Zapdos Airlines without a parachute, promptly died smacking into a dilapidated ice cream truck like a mosquito, revived at the new shrine, and was now back at their point of death, giggling gleefully as they slammed their foot against the ice cream truck and sent it careening into the abyss below, likely to quash someone unfortunate enough to invoke the wrath of flying ice cream trucks. Property damage was all well and good, but that got old quick. They whistled casually, footsteps echoing against the corroded metal girders acting as the Nexus walkways. Gusts of air blew from the yawning abyss all around, and REN didn’t feel jack shit. Their avatar was a robot, metal from head to—ankle. Right, they still hadn’t done the shoes quest. Well, shit, no wonder kicking that thing gave them cold feet. The next shiny thing to grace their presence came into view. A massive office building sat in the center of chaos, invasive species swarming it like middle-aged mothers on a Black Friday sale. Strangely though, they didn’t appear to be destroying it. “Oho, now what’ve we got here?” REN purred, watching the spectacle. If the beasts were clawing for something in there, then it must be something valuable, and nothing warrants crimes more than precious loot. They’re in the middle of fashioning a pipe bomb out of a soda can and moss when the ~~QUEST ALERT~~ caught their attention. Another player had drawn close enough to activate a quest. “Ah shit!” They poked out from their hiding spot, pipe bomb in hand as they waved their arms maniacally. “Goth girl, what are you doing!” They pointed the pipe bomb on the walkway. “There’s landmines on that thing! Get running!” Preferably towards the danger zone, but if Hekate made enough noise, maybe that would distract the beasts long enough for REN to scooch in.

Hekate • Player Character Posts: 40 Trainer Class: Player Name: Nerea Lovely OOC Username: hannahs	Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top Post by Hekate on Feb 15, 2024 4:27:06 GMT 9 Hekate had just been going on a nice, pleasant walk. She was curious about how to find her way back to the Zone, seeing as her first journey there had been entirely accidental. She had a feeling she wouldn't be able to replicate that accident again. Thankfully for us, Hekate is a little bit directionally challenged - even with an in-game map to guide her - and somehow found herself... here. Ostellia, her UI informed her. Route 8, Forgotten Nexus. This didn't look anything like where she remembered going on her route to the Zone, buuuuuut... at least it was nice here? The towering buildings and grids of streets felt familiar enough to be comforting, and the overgrown nature breaking it down was different enough to be mysterious. So she'd wandered, down ruined streets, over rusted vehicles, underneath collapsed tower blocks... taking it all in with a wide-eyed wonder that looked more like it belonged on a kid at Disneyworld. The whole time, her phantom Torchic had napped among the fur on her shoulders. She didn't seem to be getting herself into trouble, after all. At some point, she'd spotted something- a massive office block, that seemed to just stand out in some mysterious way. And it was surrounded by... Pokémon? She didn't recognise them, but, let's be real, she didn't recognise most of the Pokémon she saw these days. She certainly had no idea about invasive species, or anything like that. So Hekate had, in her wonder and wanderlust, decided to approach. Carefully, quietly, she stalked towards the building. She didn't exactly know how to be stealthy, buuuuut if she did it like they did in video games she'd be fine, right? Crouch walk, stick to cover, something like that? And besides, the Pokémon seemed far more interested in the building itself. So, Hekate approaches, slowly, surely, carefully, stepping onto a walkway towards the building's entrance, quietly and- Ping! "OHGODIMSORRY-" An alert appears in her view- she's activated a Quest? Wait, there's someone else here? Wait, there's someone else here??? Her worst fears are realised when she hears a robotic-sounding voice calling out. Hekate freezes where she stands, half-crouched, turning slowly to look to the source of the voice. Are they... waving? Is that something in their hand? What are they- "Landmine!?" She glances down to her feet. In all of her careful stealthing, she hadn't noticed the bombs attached to the walkway. Hekate lets out a scream, doing something between a backstep and a dodge roll that just results in her stumbling over herself. She lands, face first, on the walkway's surface. "Please d-don't blow me up!!!" She calls out. Wait, weren't there a bunch of wild Pokémon nearby? Wasn't she making a ton of noise with her screaming and yelling? Ah. Oh no. She whimpers as she feels a predator's eyes burrowing into her back. REN

But they were absolutely talking out of their ass when they called out landmines, and by gods did it pay off. Hekate’s unceremonious face-splat and screaming successfully nabbed the attention of the beasts crowding the office building. And the first to approach was the lumbering, fuck-off Jacked Daniels son of a cockroach called Buzzswole. “You are the unluckiest bitch out here!” REN cackled, “And I love it!” The pipe bomb went careening in the air, smacking against the giant bug and exploding. A crafted item from a player who didn’t have Player unlocked would be lucky to have the damage output of a BB gun, but REN was not aiming to DPS. They were aiming for SPD. “COME TO PAPA!” With a yodeling scream of their own, REN launched themself off an improvised ramp made from an upturned Soda Pop billboard, sproinging in the air and splatting on the Buzzswole’s bicep. The Buzzswole, naturally, did not take kindly to being made public transportation. “Oof, okay, might’ve—! Might’ve needed some more calculations!” REN hissed, grabbing on for dear life. “Goth girl, to the entrance! Haul that ass to the entrance!” They were trying to grab the Buzzswole by the antennae like some kind of unholy steed all while avoiding getting literally impaled by the stinger on its face. The other Ultra Beasts, hearing the commotion, were already making their way over in a shuffling mass of wires and murderous origami.
