Adarsa leaned forward a bit more, fingers reaching towards the goo- letting out a choked yelp as he was grabbed and yanked backwards. "Hey-" What sort of person thought they had the right to drag people around?
You know, I used to know someone who used the handle Starlitlovers to write online once.
At first, he felt pride- because of course? Who wouldn't know his name, dominion of both the Legend of Zelda tags and also his own original fics? But that wasn't what the woman had said-
And then it turned to a cold fear. This was someone who both knew him personally, and knew he wrote fic.
And then the woman kept talking. "F- Fancied?" He squawked, scrabbling to get to his feet and right himself and twist to look at her. Honestly- Who did she think she was?! "I am an author, and my writing-" Adarsa caught himself as he saw her face- bright and open. "... who even are you?"

A pidove fluttered down onto the windowsil- Oh, so it was an open window display. Adarsa just looked at the earrings, admiring them- and so did the pidove, because it leaned forward, grabbed the card in his beak- and flew off with the stolen goods. "H- Hey!" Adarsa cried, dropping Hydrangea (it's fine, they could fly) and running after the pidove. "Come back with that!"

He passed by another store, pausing to looking the windows. It was a jewelry store, everything a little gaudy, but brilliant and gleaming. The earrings were big, necklaces thick, a myriad of gemstones and colors. "These are nice, don't you think?" He murmured, eyes fixing on a rather lavish sapphire number. The woobat- Hydrangea- did not say anything, just seeming to purr softly.

Adars sighed, tucking the little woobat to his chest, and kept walking. There was a weird fountain, twisted and mangled, the water running clear... but everything it touched stained black. Adarsa... gave it a berth. "So... which way are the baths?" He asked. The woobat did not answer, staring out at the world. Or maybe not. Adarsa wasn't sure it had... eyes. He squished the thing a little more, and kept walking. ENTERING THE TALL GRASS!

The bat did literally nothing in his hands. It just... existed, somehow content with being held. Adarsa squished it, gently. It was terrily soft, and eeped upon the squishing. "You... You don't know what you're doing, do you?"
Eeep!
Adarsa sighed, and still didn't let go of the woobat. "Well, I... You are kind of cute."

What also didn't belong was the blue fluff that flied directly into his face. Adarsa squawked, swatting at it like it was a buzzy fly. "What- hey!" He said, glaring at the... thing. It just sort of hovered, bumbling around in a circle. Adarsa slowly relaxed. The bat... had no idea what was going on. Slowly, he reached out to grab it. The bat squeaked, like a toy.

There were, for some reason, a LOT of antique stores. Which wasn't a problem! Adarsa liked antiques shopping- it was his favorite hobby. But... not when he was covered in dust and mud. He sniffed, disdainfully, and then coughed. It was so dusty. He walked a bit further, to... more stores. Including a... bootyique? Adarsa squinted. That didn't... feel like it belonged.

He was in the western section of Disneyland again. Everything was dusty- in his clothes, in his feet, in his hair. It was just.... all dust. It was kind of remarkable, honestly, how dusty and gross it was. Programmed to be Most Dusty.
Adarsa huffed a sigh, pausing to shake everything out of his hair, which was a good five pounds of just dust. This... was terrible. He was going to need a bath, after this. He needed a bath now, honestly. Maybe once he logged out even. He was just going to feel dusty forever.
So, Adarsa hurried down the street, looking for a bathhouse, or spa, or something. ENTERING THE TALL GRASS!

The packed stone slammed into the struggling ninetales- who screamed, a terrible inhuman sound- before it just seemed to collapse. Some of the corruption fell into the earth like thick oil, while other traced dissolved into the air like fragments of twilight.
Adarsa had flinched, tucked further back behind the cat girl and her billowing cloak, only shakily allowing himself to breathe when she asked him a question. He peered around her, blinking at the black remnants. "Is- is that-" He was struggling to get words out. "Did you kill it?" He asked, easing a bit closer to the... ooze.
It was brackish, not quite hissing but certainly affecting the grass around it, seeping into a little pit. The grass nearby withered and blackened, twisting and growing brittle. Ada reached towards it, the blades turning into dust as soon as his fingers touched it. "What- how is it doing this?"

"Oh- ah- Oh God-" Adarsa could only stare upwards, into the steaming maw of the whatever the fuck it was- eyes wide as it lunged, his vision fading to only teeth-
And something cold wound itself away his forearm, yanking hard enough to both drag him out of the way of immediate danger, and nearly pull his arm from the socket. Even he had the good sense to scrabble away on his hands and knees, staggering to his feet once he wasn't within instant biting range. "Wh- what-" Adarsa swallowed hard, trying to catch his breath.
At the mention of him being a new player- he'd, somehow, already forgotten this was still a video game, and not just some murdery fever dream- Adarsa finally glanced over. It was... a pretty cat girl, wearing knight's armor and holding a fucking spear. So maybe it was just a chaotic fever dream. Maybe he was just laid up in bed, some sort of plague or parasite or bad seafood cooking his brain into sludge.
But that wasn't reason to be senseless. So, naturally, he moved to put himself behind the cat girl, who had a weapon and maybe knew what she was doing.
The beast snarled, breath hissing between its teeth, paws shifting underneath its weight. It barked, jaws snapping together crushingly, rabid-like drool starting to poor, ichor-black, from its maw. It blinked, red eyes rippling down its back- and then it lunged, claws aimed right for Tuesday.

Adarsa's trail of misery continued. He'd wanted to go to a shrine, to pray for health or whatever and a string of better luck- and instead had ended up- here. The Everworld, so said the big floaty text. There didn't seem to be anyone else around, so... he might as well look, right?
He was inspecting one of the statues when SETA spoke, Adarsa jumping and sending the statue wobbling, and golden mask spilling to the ground. "Um, I- well, I- I'd love to help out-" He said, breaking not eye contact with the ominous guy to duck, and swipe up the golden mask.
"After all, who wouldn't want to help this-" Oh, fuck him, honestly? "- uhh, this duck?" He said, turning the mask around to show it to SETA, as if the figure needed to be shown what a duck was.
SETA leveled another question. "Um, why would they want to be alive instead of stuck in this dreary place?" Adarsa countered, cocking his head at the ghost. Man. Guy. "Are you saying you'd rather them be dead? Geeze."

Adarsa had found a nice little quiet spot in Briarbane to sit, and look at his pokemon. The dunsparce, who he'd opted to name Dahlia, and the little snom, who would probably be Orchid, just to match. "Aren't you both cute?" He cooed, looking at the little ones- And what a good deal he'd gotten! He felt a twinge of concern for the pumpkaboo- but they had probably gone to a trainer who loved them, right? And who wouldn't love a pumpkaboo?
But- He reached out, petting the dunsparce, who chirred and pressed up into his hand.
"Hi there! Welcome to the Catching Tutorial!" Adarsa jumped, glancing up at the bird- thing- floating by his head. "Be sure to work with your partner to catch the-"
"Partner?" Adarsa asked, now oblivious to what the bird was saying, turning to see who his partner could be. The only person really around seemed to be a man a ways down the road, jogging towards where he was. He.. was pretty. He was really pretty, shirtless and tattooed. Adarsa sighed.
"Catch the- Catch the- Catch the- Catch the- Catch the-"
Adarsa got to his feet, recalling his pokemon and walked away from the bird, towards the beautiful man jogging towards him. "Hey- um," Daringly- maybe a little cheekily- he jogged to intercept, and went to catch the extremely handsome- was he a model? In real life?- man's arm. "Are- Are you my partner?" He asked, smiling a bit and looking up at Kazuki from under his lashes.

First of all, no, Adarsa did not like the cinder-whatever he'd been traded. You'd think that would turn him off from wild trading, and you would be only half right. He'd gone back to the wanted boards, but he had been methodical about it. He looked only at the ones that were offering something, and wanted "anything" in response. It- it had taken a few hours until someone had put up something he wanted, and then he pounced.
SECONDLY, it wasn't weird what he was trading for. There was a cute little caterpillar, who just screamed potential. And- and shut up, about the other one. He didn't have to defend his choices to anyone, least of all nosy little onlookers who watched him type up his trade request.
It- it was the face. The dunsparce had a sad little face, and Adarsa didn't have a choice. Was he a little sad to give away the cute pumpkin? Yes, but he also saw a clump of roughly a thousand of them in the field, so, if he was super heartbroken later he could just. Get a new one.

Adarsa finally whirled, looking at the creature. "Listen! I don't need some- some sentient halloween decor following me around! There are PLENTY of other people you can haunt. Get!" He ordered, gesturing a reasonable and moderate amount.
The trick-or-treat bucket did not leave- it instead ducked, pressing its weirdly fluffy little head into Adarsa's open hand, falling still and less mocking. Adarsa blinked at it, and very tentatively, scratched its head.
The pumpkin started to purr.

Something popped up in front of him, and Adarsa screamed. The floating pumpkin also screamed, but it quickly turned into a chittering sort of laugh. Adarsa stared at it. The- the pumpkin was laughing at him. "S- Stop it! Get out of here! Shoo!" He tried, waving his hands dismissively at the thing.
It did not actually shoo, and drifted after him, making mocking little "shoo!" noises behind his back.
