(Thats a fragment of a larger investigateable item, not something to investigate in and of itself)

(Ah, then use it on Wrex to make it Ghost / Dark for Sami)

[Taricus]

Nah, save it for later to use on Galore for Rags when it evolves.

Nah, save it for later to use on Galore for Rags when it evolves.

RP

Stormy sat in her room, concentrating a new portrait-a blackened setting sun, over a wine dark sea, a horrible storm poised to strike the shore-foreboding and declamatory, morose and relentless. It was a vision she believed would soon come to pass. Recent events would cause her to question why she continued to do this, so close to the end...but she never stopped, all the same.

She had slid the note under Dr. Rags door before retiring the previous night, knowing the good doctor had been busy at the moment.

Susan

Can you meet me in my room when you have the chance? We should talk in private. You're the only one I trust with this.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Susan arrived fairly early the next morning, knocking on Stormy's door quietly. "It's me. Just letting you know before I came in," she said. After waiting a few seconds, she headed inside, leaving Core outside to guard. Llewyn had said she wanted a private talk, after all; the Geodude could watch out for other people and warn them. She closed the door after her and approached Stormy tentatively, not really knowing what to say. Instead, she settled for putting a hand on he elementalist's shoulder.

[Dwarmin]

Stormy nodded and smiled slightly, her usual boisterous self subdued and quiet. She took an envelope from her dresser and handed it to Susan.

"...to put it simply, things are going to happen around me soon-I'm going to be at the center of something big. I'm not sure how big, or what exactly...but if something happens to me, I need you to make sure my family gets this. There's something in here for you as well, but do try to constrain your curiosity. This is insurance."

With that, she began painting once more, strokes materializing into form and function. Now one could see two figures, on the beach...were they fighting? Embracing? It was hard to say, at this point.

"Now...you know Alex is gone...or, I'm not sure exactly where...but he gave me the Blue Orb for safe keeping. I didn't know how to come out and say it. There's...a part of him left in here. Or maybe I'm not well. Either way, I just need to make sure you knew this is a very important thing to me-it's all I have left of...whatever we had. So I don't want it to be damaged, do you understand? We should be careful with it. It'll be hard for me to even part with it, but I know it's not healthy to keep a secret like this from my friends." She said hesitantly-as if fighting the urge to scream, or cry. A great deal of pressured emotions threatened just underneath the skin.

Stormy leaned over and lifted a canvas cover off of the orb, shining in its usual azure brilliance.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Susan put the envelope into an inside coat pocket, to keep it safe from prying eyes. Later she would find a better hiding spot for it. She looked over at the orb. I see... the worst happened, then. She leaned over and hugged Stormy from behind. "I'm sorry, Llewyn. If you need to cry, or talk, or even just hit something... I'm right here. And I'll keep the orb safe. I promise."

[Dwarmin]

Stormy embraced her new old friend, wondering-in her deepest, darkest thoughts-if somehow becoming close to Susan, the doctor would now suffer the same fate...lost to the tides.

Though Stormy had certainly cried enough recently, the tears spilled again, soaking into her friends shoulder.

It was the passing of innocence that hurt her so, and the tears were pure and clean-these sort that would never come again, not in this world, or any other. It was not her first love, but it was her first loss, and if her life proved true and long, she would in time harden to the world, and loss, and all that came with it...but for now, she just weathered the pain and regret as well as any young woman could. She was glad to have a friend by her side.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Susan didn't say anything... just held Stormy close and let her cry, stroking her hair as she did.

Locking forum turns now!

[KujiUn]

Edro, SC, your funeral is a free action. Feel free to pick something else, but know the deadline is tomorrow morning, when Weird starts writing the forum turn.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Kuji, two questions:

Doug not going to do anything?
And do I have enough Pokemon for a second 'caught' level?

[KujiUn]

Doug did something. His forum turn post was before the Mission Complete junk.

And WHOOPS. Looks like you do. I'd do a formal announcement, with all the caps and all, but I think you already know. I'll just update my front post with the additional level for you.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Ah. I see it now. OK, I'll level up Rags. Thanks, Kuij. ^^^
