“Huh?”

Todd blinks as he lowers his camera, glancing to the side only to come nose-to-bright-red-nose with--

“Mime Jr.??” he exclaims, hopping to his feet from where he’s been positioned for the past few minutes, flat on his stomach for the perfect angle of a now-forgotten robin pecking through the clover.

He’s been looking for a Mime Jr. for weeks! Could this be James’s lost partner? A quick glance around reveals no trainer hurrying over to claim the little Pokemon, which is a pretty sure sign-- Todd’s only met a few wild Pokemon in the time he’s been here, and the chances of a whole new Mime Jr. appearing when James’s is still lost seem slim.

...then again, the chances of the right Pokemon showing up just when Todd’s decided to take a break from searching for it seem pretty low, too.

“Sorry for jumping up like that, Mime Jr. I hope I didn’t startle you.”

He snaps a quick photo, peeking around his camera to make sure he hasn’t spooked the Pokemon too badly.

“I know someone who’ll be even more surprised to see you than I am-- would you mind if I brought you to him? I have a feeling you two might already be friends.”

@shutter-snap​

Mime Jr. doesn’t remember falling out of the sky, but it’s definitely down on the ground now. It doesn’t see James or any of the others, nor hear any familiar voices calling out like usual.

But after walking a bit, it sees a human it doesn’t know, holding an item that he’s pointing in front of him while it makes a click sound. It’s seen something like that before, but it doesn’t know what it does.

It sidles up to him and raises its arms in front of its face, pretending to hold the same object, pointing dutifully at the same thing he is. “Mi! Mime!” It makes short little noises, imitating the ‘click’ sound.

valsharesses​:

✖ ———— The straight forward approach has always been her favorite. But as the boy struggles to break his gaze, a sly smile dawns on her face, and she knows exactly how to amuse herself this time.

The Valsharess laughs, circling a little around Todd, careful to keep her monstrous gait as humanlike as possible. “A shame indeed,” she replies, keeping her tone cordial, before her smile broadens into something wider, mischievous. “The cellar is no secret to me,” she says, barely restraining her natural instinct to call him male, or jaluk. “The eyes of a goddess see all, and the bowels of this castle are no exception.”

She places a hand against her cheek, and tilts her head to one side. “Perhaps I could do you a favor and take you there. But surely you know that one good turn expects another.”

Again, Todd feels a prickle of uncertainty as the woman begins to move-- there’s something off here that he just can’t seem to put his finger on. He doesn’t outright ignore it this time, but he can’t understand it, either, so he promises himself that he’ll stay on guard and gently pushes the feeling away.

“Really?” Todd lights up. Maybe the strange air about her is the air of mystery-- he’s pretty sure that “goddess” remark isn’t meant to be taken literally, but there’s certainly something otherworldly about her. Caution, he reminds himself, but he’s already too intrigued to even consider leaving now.

“That would be great-- thank you so much!” The real favor will be giving him the time to get to know her better on their trip down.

“What did you have in mind?”

#excellent >:) ! #// #valsharesses 02 #valsharesses

[shutter-snap]

“Eva!” She has startled him, but can anyone really blame him for being a little jumpy after recent events?

“Thanks-- you look really great too!” She does, but he’s mostly just relieved to see her still alive and well. Out of the many gruesome images the stranger planted in his mind that day, the photograph of Evangeline hurt has resurfaced time and time again in his thoughts and nightmares. He has to actively restrain himself from pulling her in for a tight hug.

“I’m--” Shaken would be an understatement. He’s had his perception of the world and its cruelties turned on its head in the span of a few conversations, and if he’s honest, even touching base with Eva hasn’t done much to settle him. Beyond showing him that she was physically alright, his friend hadn’t exactly answered many of his urgent, breathless questions.

“I’ll be okay. It’ll take more than that to keep me down!” It’s not exactly a lie, but the ever-present warmth and energy in his voice comes across as a little hollow this time.

“Trying to. ...you are too, right?” ...up to a point; she’s risked revealing herself to attend the event tonight. It’s hardly relevant that he’s done the exact same thing.

“It’s-- really nice to see you here. I’m glad you’re out enjoying yourself even after all of that. I kind of wish you had told me you were coming, though-- I could have helped make sure it was safe. ...you know you can trust me, right? I might not be as strong as you, but I can help. I’m serious.”

@shutter-snap​

“You look nice,” Hopefully she hasn’t startled him when approaching silently beside him. She’s been watching the crowd, but she briefly spares Todd a glance, smiling with her eyes before those same gaze are back on the crowd. 

“How are you feeling?”

She feels it’s been a moment since she last saw Todd. The last time….THE last time she saw him, he had so many questions. He had been worried for her when he should have been worried for himself after that interaction. When she had gotten that text she knew he was targeted. 

She’s still sorry for putting him in danger like that. 

“Are you staying safe?”

#fhhdkfhds if t.odd doesnt find out who she is he's almost certainly going to ask to take photos of the v.alsharess soon #my stats page under the 'photographed' section: #'a threatening stranger!' .......... 'a super cool awesome beautiful creepy stranger who's totally a different person!' #;dash comm

[shutter-snap]

“Oh, uh--” Todd assumes, at first, that his explorations have taken him somewhere off-limits, and that this woman is either a rule-maker or a rule-follower dutiful enough to go out of her way to ensure that everyone else is following the rules, too. He’s ready with an excuse almost immediately-- he doesn’t like to make a habit of trespassing, but he doesn’t like being told where he can and can’t go, either.

But his words die on his tongue the instant he gets a better look at the stranger. He’s only met one other person in the city of her kind, and the memory of those encounters has him freezing up in terror. ...but that passes quickly enough-- the two strange women share a few basic features and characteristics, and that’s all.

After all, while the threatening stranger he met before was pretty, she was far too horrifying to consider attractive in any sense. This woman, though...

This woman, while unsettling in her own right, is perhaps the most beautiful person Todd’s ever seen in his life.

He stares, stupidly, unable to either look away or shake the sense of unease twisting in his chest; she’s stunning, but the more he looks at her, the more nervous he becomes. He tells himself he’s still reeling from mistaking her for the person who tracked him, watched him, cut him open threatened him before, and does his best to ignore the odd feeling of wrongness lurking in the back of his mind.

“It just seemed like a shame to stay in the ballroom all night when there’s all of this to explore.”

“Besides, I could say the same about you,” he says with a light, teasing warmth. He appears almost starstruck as he looks into her eyes. “You must find something interesting about all these old hallways to be way out here-- are you looking for the secret cellar, too?”

✖ ———— She’s going to have fun with this one. She recognizes that face from afar, and keeping to the crowd, waits and watches. For the inevitable moment when he leaves the ballroom proper, which is when she’ll excuse herself to follow suit. Down twisting stone corridors until there is no one left to bother them– which is when she’ll cut the young man off at his pass with a smile.

“You’re going to miss all the festivities,” she says…

( Which is all the better for her. She needed a toy to take her mind off the stress, and you’re perfect, @shutter-snap​. )

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you,” Todd says with a hint of genuine concern when the stranger beside him reacts rather... extremely to what he can only assume was the click of his shutter.

Force of habit...?

“Hey, it’s okay, really! It was my fault-- I didn’t mean to sneak up next to you like that, I just didn’t want to scare it away.” He gestures with a jerk of his head towards the creature she’s noticed, too. Despite having stunning wings, it seems to almost be floating in the air before them, held aloft by something other than the beating of those beautiful wings.

The creature seems a little startled now, though, drifting further from the pair. But perhaps that’s just as well; Todd’s already gotten his photos, and he’s not convinced he’s adequately comforted the poor kid next to him.

“Yeah! That’s right-- so don’t worry, I’m not going to try to take your picture unless you want me to.” Todd speaks lightly, warmly, lowering the offending camera as he turns to face the stranger more fully.

“That is a really cool mask you’ve got on, though. I keep wondering whether I should get one myself, or try one of the ones the pixies keep trying to hand me...”

“My name’s Todd. ...sorry again for scaring you. You, uh-- don’t seem to be a fan of cameras, but do you like dances and masquerades and all this stuff?” And more to the point, can Todd get her to relax and enjoy the ball again after the inadvertent embarrassment he’s caused?

the view certainly was worth the excited chatter she’d heard before making her way up here. though she’d declined to dance amongst the clouds ( quite literally, as it turned out ), xion was content to lean over the edge of the castle’s battlement and admire the view of the city from up so high. even if she wasn’t particularly excited about being in the city she could still admire the view, she supposed.

she is so absorbed in the scene below her ( it reminded her of the clocktower, how high she was and how small everything else seemed, how insignificant ) that she doesn’t notice that she’s joined by someone until she hears the CLICK of a camera. it startles her out of her reverie and she instinctively covers her face, forgetting momentarily that she not only doesn’t have one at the moment but that she’s also wearing a full face mask.

❝ ah, sorry! ❞ she says after a moment, realizing that the camera was not pointed at her at all, but rather at a nearby creature that she can’t name. ❝ force of habit… ! ❞ she bows slightly in apology. eager to avert the attention from her blunder, she stammers, ❝ do you, uh, usually take photos of creatures? ❞

don’t mind her, she’s camera shy @shutter-snap​

“Oh--”

Todd likes to think he doesn’t get flustered very easily in any situation, be it facing down dangerous river rapids or navigating the even more treacherous waters of socialization, but he can’t help but find himself at a momentary loss when he’s approached by an impressive, charming stranger the second he’s stepped through the door.

“Hey,” he says, staring wide-eyed as he gets his bearings. He’s flattered, and it shows a little in the hint of shyness coloring his smile as he nods.

“That’d be great! Just give me one second to...” Todd trails off, slipping his camera off his neck to tuck it safely into an outer pocket of his jacket. It’s compact enough to fit without causing too much of an awkward lump, and while he almost certainly won’t need it out with his hands otherwise occupied in a fancy couple’s dance, it’s second nature to keep it somewhere easily accessible.

“I’m Todd, by the way-- thanks for the dance.”

Feeling a little more confident and a little less caught off guard, Todd beams at the other man and offers his hand.

“Lead the way.” After all, this guy seems very much at home among all the dazzling decorations and classy couture of the ballroom.

@shutter-snap liked for a starter!

Donovan has been dancing all night, in and out alone and with strangers alike. He's having the time of his life. He hasn't felt this good since... well, since he died, obviously. Even if this feeling only lasts for the night, he'll cherish this evening forever, he thinks– even if he also knows that it'll hurt in more ways than one when he inevitably goes back to before.

Regardless, he's taking a break at the moment, when he spots someone enter the ballroom, someone familiar. Granted, they only met once, and for a short time, but there's no mistaking Todd and his strange contraption, always hung around his neck. He's even dressed up for the occasion, donning a suit and bowtie. Donovan finds himself staring. He shakes himself out of his thoughts, and decides to approach. Todd won't recognize him, not in this new form and not with his considerably-more-fancy-than-his-normal-armor outfit, but that's not in Donovan's mind at the moment. They can start fresh, can't they?

"Hello there," he says. "May I steal your first dance of the evening, stranger?"

berserkgened​:

       they took the human’s silence for confirmation, though they felt as if there were something…lost in translation. he seemed more despondent and disappointed than anything else, and mewtwo didn’t understand that reaction. even more baffling was the reaction after that to their name - and an obvious mistake about the relationship  between mew and themself. it could all have been a ploy, of course - attempting to lure them into a sense of safety through sheer ignorance, but…even they had difficulty believing that, now. his excitement reminded them too much of ash’s friend - goh - to pin any malicious intention to him

       - - but even the best of intentions sometimes led to very dark and dangerous outcomes. ( over twenty years ago a man’s quest to bring back his beloved daughter had resulted in the creation of a living weapon beyond anything humanity had known - and he’d died for it. )

       “ i am. and…not evolution as you are thinking of. i was cloned from them, and my creators attempted to manufacture a creature more powerful than mew. likening it to evolution is not wholly inaccurate. only unnatural. ” they stayed silent for another long moment, before the man continued to speak of deliberately seeking mew out - which made them uncomfortable for several reasons. “ i am aware of mew here; they now live with me in this place. should any harm come to them, i will know of it. ” a warning to be sure, but this time it carried less of the feeling of a threat and more of a defensive statement. mew and mewtwo were connected, now - and would protect one another if need be.

       they weren’t expecting him to answer truthfully- or really, at all. that hesitance would have made it all the more obvious that their initial suspicions had been correct, and they had been right to be wary and uneasy. instead, this all sounded…benign. yes, he mentioned research and documenting - but in the way of pokemon professors, individuals who (from their understanding) assisted new pokemon trainers. none of it sounded particularly sinister, and yet again they were reminded of goh - who stated that he wished to train all pokemon in order to learn about them. it sounded strikingly similar to his motivations, actually.

       at the next question, they paused once more. did they not want to be known? or did they just not want to be used and trapped? the two statements often meant the same thing…but not always. was he really as naïve as he seemed to be?  …mewtwo could remedy that very easily, if that were the case.. “ …i do not want certain humans to know of me. i have spent decades erasing evidence of my existence - only for my efforts to become useless in this place. ” well. that wasn’t entirely spirale’s doing; they had chosen to remain known in ryme as well. erasing an entire city’s memory had been within their power at the time, but…that meowth had been right all those years ago. erasing memories and running from the past didn’t guarantee a better life. just a safer one. an empty one.

        “ … very well. if you wish simply to learn about me, then i will educate you. ” this time, there was no tense air to their voice or demeanor; just a neutral offer and a stoic expression.

The way Mewtwo describes its creation could be neutral, but it also sheds some light on the decidedly negative way in which it spoke before about research and labs. If it was made by scientists, but now distrusts them, then something must have happened to shape that low opinion. ...no wonder it reacted to Todd as it did.

“I would never hurt Mew— or anyone.” Todd’s almost affronted that Mewtwo would suggest he might, but he makes sure to keep any suggestion of that reaction out of his tone when he speaks. His statement is gentle, firm, and carries the unspoken message of “and that includes you.”

This is all so... troubling. Todd’s heard vague mentions of Pokemon poachers, of course, and has witnessed Team Rocket’s cruelty firsthand, but he can’t imagine what Mewtwo could have been through that would have driven it into such a reclusive life. He wants to make a vow right then and there to do whatever he can to help Mewtwo stay hidden, or to defend the Pokemon should those “certain” humans find it here on the island-- but he’s still not sure he’s earned Mewtwo’s trust enough for a bold statement like that to offer any real reassurance.

But they’re making progress, quickly and steadily; despite describing mere moments ago how it’s worked to stay unknown, Mewtwo is now freely offering to teach Todd about itself. He’s excited, but not for the reasons he usually is when given the chance to learn more about a new kind of Pokemon; rather than view this as an opportunity to study Mewtwo as a new species, Todd is grateful to be able to understand the Pokemon better as an individual, and hopefully better understand how to help it, too.

“Thanks, Mewtwo,” he says with as much genuineness as he can. This seems like a big step, and he wants his new acquaintance to know that he’s taking things seriously, and appreciates the trust it’s putting in him.

“Uh-- whatever you want to tell me. And again, I promise I won’t tell anyone else about you, no matter what!”
