Illusions and dreams can cloud the mind just as easily as the actual mists do cloud one's eyes, and there’s no finding one's way among the trees that seem to never stay at the same place… Sometimes, that’s even the case for people who come to Asper’s route 2 almost every single time they log into the game. "Seriously? I’m pretty sure this way led back to the settlement…." It used to, at least. Tuesday is certain of it. She had marked the trees. And yet, here she is, lost in this maze of evergreens. Of course she’d never admit as much, though. Of course she just keeps venturing forward. Eventually, it all has to lead somewhere, right? orioncayge [Prompt]uQr3NKEZ1d100 1d100

Something, no, some THINGS had just finished having a little mini kaiju fight in the clearing not thirty feet from his cave. He must have been sleeping like a corpse to miss a scuffle like this, fitting given the rather grave nature of his crib-t. Puns aside, he found himself keeping low to the ground and waddling around investigating the tracks with a keen eye. Sure, the pokedex often made reference to real world animal behavior patterns, but this was some animal planet bullshit right here, the shit where David Attenborough would narrate with tense music that would give way to something sad as the prey was eaten by the predator, or some joyous orchestral fanfare when the water buffalo escapes the lion. Still he had a duty, or perhaps just a morbid curiosity, to figure out who had been at who's throat and who's goat had gotten got. He keep a keen eye on the ground for telltale signs for what might have been at work. Hours spent grinding for the Valedictorian title during the back to school had imprinted him a partial familiarity with the pokedex and it's more nuanced factoids, but it had failed to give him a full understanding of pokeprints and clawmarks. So as he spent his time hunched over, one hand with a pokegear out flipping through his pokedex app and it's various entries, the other braced against the dirt is some borderline gorilla like pose, he found himself jumping a bit as the snap of a twig alerted him to another's presence. "Ayo." He called out, not bothering to look up. "Mind your step, this is an active crime scene and I haven't had a chance to get the caution tape up."

Mismatched eyes — ruby and sapphire — fall upon what to her looks like a bandana-clad wannabe detective. Oh… Hadn’t she met him before? Probably in some event or another, right? "What crime? Huh?" It’s then that her gaze shifts to the trees, noticing what orioncayge is referring to: the footprints, the blood, the torn fur… Damn, something had been having one hell of a time out here, huh? She whistles, almost as if she were impressed. "Damn, that’s one hell of a scene. Out here in the Timberlands? My bets are on a murderous Mr Mime." Tuesday loves a mystery. She’s invested now.

Orion would pause, realizing he'd just rhymed for no reason, before shaking his head and continuing a bit. "There's two sets of tracks, but both of them look quadrupedal." His finger would point to one set, then swoosh over to another. "You can tell they're different cause of the paw shapes and the position of the uh...not thumb claw but you know what I'm on about eh?" Pausing, he would take a moment to pantomime some distorted fucked up clawlike apendage with his thumb. Finally, he would turn back to look at his guest, his gaze narrowing a bit. She looked familiar in a way that was hard to place. Where had they met? Speed dating? School Days? The barbeque at moms place? It was like an itch in his brain he couldn't quite scratch. "Names Orion by the way." Standing up, he would stretch his arms upwards before offering her a hand to shake. "And whoever got whoever, they went that way." He would point down a brambly patch of underbrush that had been opened up with the thrashing of the fight. "You wanna check it out with me? Never know what creepy bullshit this place can throw at you, for all I know it's some fucked up Zombie Nidoran."

Admittedly, neither has she. And… like… the thought of a Mr Mime running on all fours? Fucking creepy. They're already creepy as hell as they are, honestly. She does listen to him explanations, though, and he is right: whatever had left those footprints definitely was no mime. "You mean dew claws? I have cats" She shrugs, nonchalant. Cats that probably want a snack right about now. "Sure, count me in. I’m Tuesday." When she takes his hand, the handshake is much firmer than what one would likely expect from a petite blonde catgirl – firm, practised, and utterly professional. Once she lets go, her attention turns back to their crime scene. "Tell me about it, I’ve run into the weirdest shit around here… It’s mostly bloodthirsty Duckletts, though." She’s seen a lot of those. "Looks like they went that way." Down towards where the fog is much much denser...

Scratching his chin he would take a few ambling steps forward, closer to the trail and the fog before pausing. He'd been down this rabbithole once before, getting lost in the woods in cursed fog with nothing but that nasty fucking lantern to lead him like a cursed moth to it over and over again. There could be anything in that fog, a horde of zombies with gnashing teeth, some brutal corropted amalgamation of 27 different ghost type pokemon, a Yanma. The possibilities were as frightful as they were infinite. He could feel the trepidation in his heart, a light shiver traveled down his spine, but he took a deep breath and thought to himself. Bro, you cannot be a cringe ass bitch in front of the catgirl. That's not cool. A cocky grin bloomed across his face as the ancient words of power fueled him. Turning back to the woman, he would motion for her to follow along. "Careful cause the fog gets thick and can play tricks on your mind. Keep a hand on your balls just incase things go south." He would rest a hand at his waist where he kept his motherfucking strap (of pokeballs) on him at all times, ready to bust out his problem solvers and fuck someone's day up.

Once. Twice. Three times. "...What’s a Yanma?" They say curiosity killed the cat. Clearly, Tuesday, dweller of the Timberlands as she often is, has never encountered the demons that haunt Orion. She does know these woods, though, and because she does she knows just how bad the fog’s tricks can be. When she looks at the mists that coat the forest, her eyes narrow – not with fear or concern, but as if searching for something. "Good point. There’s a bunch of Munna in the area too… Their Dream Mist mixes with the fog and will put you to sleep right away." She would know, she caught one of them. It’s what got her an invite to join The Creed. Funny how all that feels as if it had been ages ago now… "Alright, Orion, let’s go! The more time we spend standing around, the farther away they’ll get." Tuesday gives him a confident smirk, and it's then that she steps forward – fearless. The marks of a fight remain prevalent on the trees that surround them, scratches upon trees coming in company of dripping crimson liquid. Is there some wild pokémon in this area that she’s yet to face? Did someone’s battle go poorly? Is there corruption in the timberlands? "...it’s like a damn slasher movie."

Orion would lazily flick out a pokeball into the air the red dragonfly pokemon would emerge announced by a flash of red and the drone of it's beating wings. "Meet Argus, my trusty scout drone." "GREETINGS." The bug droned in a stoic tone, had Tuesday not opted to hear pokemon voices she would hear a single C Sharp tone. "Argos see if you can get us a bugs eye view from up top, don't let anything get the drop on us eh?" He would ask/command his pokemon. "Activating Patrol Protocol" The bug would drone once more, this time it would be two F tones. "As for Dream mists and the like, I wouldn't be surprised. I've had some fucking weird encounters here, not sure if Munna got me or if it was scary monster." He would take point on the trail, his bug flitting overhead with speed and grace as it worked wide winding circles in a patrol path. "And you're right, this is definitely a lot gorier than I would have anticipated for a Nintendo Licensed Game, like if this was a bootleg fan project or something I could see this and a lot of other shit making sense, but this is supposed to be kid friendly! What were the devs thinking?" The walk was slightly perilous, as it wasn't a beaten path there were many a root and loose rock that threatened to cause a trip and scraped ankle, or a rolled ankle or two. Either way, finally the ass beating path seemed to lead to a massive tree that towered above everything else nearby, at its base was a massive nook that seemed to lead to some underground pathway/tunnel system of some sort. "Jesus christ, talk about a rabbit hole..."
