For @rcvnance from here:
Though he'd not outright agreed to see her manor, she'd already begun walking... So capricious. In spite of himself, curiosity proved more potent than caution.
As he followed what he perceived of her silhouette, he found himself unable to focus on her surroundings for a moment. Disorientation sunk its claws in.
He blinked, coming to a stop as her hand raised... Old stone had replaced the dirt path once below their feet. What was surely tall trees flanking them revealed themselves as pillars, wrought iron...
"What...?"
Arc, his Spritzee, peeked out from under his lapel, glancing to and fro with nearly as much confusion.
"No, this is... A dream?" His voice faltered, feebly trying to convince himself. A hand reached gingerly towards a stone statue closeby... The light, rough texture of the surface against his fingers caused his breath to deepen further "Illusions of this caliber... Could they truly exist?"
A smile graces C's lips as she watches the doctor attempt to make sense of the trip in much the same way as most of her visitors have. In truth, who could blame them in their disbelief? A manor appearing where there should be no such space or secrecy was an impossible thing... but the kind of place ghosts would call home is a place of dozens of impossibilities. She can only hope her friend will be able to cope quickly. There was a whole tour to attend to, after all!
"I assure you these grounds are no more illusion than I am, and I would hope you have faith enough in my existence to warrant following me here in the first place."
She moves around Bonnefey ( patting his shoulder as she passes him by ) to pull him forward with a single hand. The imposing gate closes slowly behind the pair, uttering no sound despite its size and apparent age.
"We should start with the house, I would think. I find it easiest to answer questions about a place I was born, rather than ones I am still learning about."
As she escorts him to the doorstep of her manor home, the nature of this land being a reserve become readily noticeable; pods of drifloon and drifblim float lazily overhead, and all manner of small ghost pokemon dart about the grass and shrubbery that outline the house's perimeter. They take notice, sharp eyes taking in the unknown visitor, but make no move to approach the doctor. Not yet.

♡ and they were roommates!
|| 😳 Oh my god, they were roommates,,,,,,,,,,,,
ketsuzoku:
Ah, J. Another letter that will now be subconsciously associated with an entity. Sordward wonders if by the end, the whole alphabet really will be completed like a pack of Unown. He’ll just have to wait and see.
“Wonderful to meet you, J!” He greets the Banette with a proper smile. Nothing snarky or smug like it usually would be; just a genuine show of friendliness. “I am Sordward! Or, if you’d prefer, Edward works all the same.”
Sordward offers a laugh as he pats J’s head in tandem to C’s commentary. J sure seemed affectionate, though he can’t help but wonder what kind of a handful he would be, with what C implied.
“Ah, but can the same not be said for many of our fellow Ghost-types?” He’s reminded of Galatine and the antics those two get into when he or his sibling aren’t keeping a watchful eye; perhaps it’s something instinctive in Ghost-types to cause mischief.
“I’d say being a handful is just part of the fun of befriending such wonderful creatures, wouldn’t you say?”
LITTLE CLAWS MOVE upwards to Edward’s hands in a bid to have him keep petting ( though it wasn’t as if J thought he needed enticing; his fur was fleecy enough to do that on its own ). C meets Edward’s comment with a smile, one slender finger moving to tap at the tip of her nose.
❝Quite right, indeed! One must have a sense of humor when keeping ghosts as company... some kinds more than others! Here’s to hoping yours doesn’t make off with all the sewing pins, hm?❞
J chuckles at that, wagging his tail to pointedly displace one of said pins onto the stone beneath him ( which C promptly picks up and deposits in one of her shawl’s pockets with a sigh ).
❝I can only imagine what sort of games yours favors.❞
ketsuzoku:
“As well as ever!”
He didn’t fully understand her line of work, exactly. Not that he was the type to pry into those sorts of details over text, and with how minimal their face-to-face contact had been, there simply hadn’t been any time to catch up proper. That being said, he doubts she knows much on his work either, so he simple thinks of it as something that isn’t too pressing a subject right now.
With greetings over, Sordward continues speaking with a warm smile in tow.
“Gigs and shows have been a little slow, admittedly, but that comes with the earlier months I find.” Now the later months in Summer and Autumn… that’s when the shows really picked up into tours and the like. Then he’ll be away far more and he won’t be able to enjoy his usual home life, but that’s depressing and he’s not about to mention that.
“Hopefully you’ll have a marvelous time in Galar! You might even bump into my sibling if you’re lucky; I think you two would get along rather well!”
He pauses, and a realization hits as he coos over J once more.
“I say, I don’t recall if I’ve met this handsome little fellow yet!”
THE MOMENT ATTENTION shifts to the Banette in question, J’s fur fluffs up in what was unmistakably pride. C regards the display with a shake of her head and an affectionate exhale, reaching down to pat the top of his head.
❝I do recall him hiding away during our first meeting... This is my partner, J! He’s a helpful little friend, here with me through thick and thin~ Isn’t that right?❞
Her gaze turns down to her pokemon, who snickers quietly as he meets her gaze.
‹❝You askin’ me rhetorical questions for the spectacle, Girly? Ey, you heard him call me handsome? Man’s got taste. Tell him I won’t curse him too bad!❞›
C, rolling her eyes at his response, looks back to Sordward.
❝He’s quite the affectionate haunt, provided you can stand him being a handful about it, at times.❞
bonnefey:
What a mysterious woman… In truth, he’d only met one or two Hex Maniacs in his life, so he couldn’t help but tilt his head in puzzlement as he raised a curled finger to his chin. Perhaps talking in riddles was part of the job?
“…I’m sorry, you said you could take me there now? I’m afraid I do not quite follow. But if it means I get to see how you perform your work, I would be more than happy to see right this moment, should you have me.”
C ONLY OFFERS a cryptic little smile at the doctor’s confusion before turning on her heel and casting a glance back over her shoulder, one hand lifting to beckon him to follow.
❝Come along, then~! This way, this way!❞
And so, she walks off, avoiding any marked path and striding in no particular direction ( though her lack of direction is likely unknown to her company ). It’s once the two enter the shade of trees that her promise comes to pass, and C brushes a few branches aside to reveal a large silver gate.
A gate that was certainly not there before.
C, naturally, doesn’t seem to regard the impossibility of it all, producing a matching silver key from under her cloak and using it to open the gate before reaching back to lead Bonnefey through the dark entrance.
... And just as soon as everything had been dark, their surroundings light back up to reveal a sizeable old manor, surrounded on all sides by grounds that were equally out of place. C gestures widely, glancing over the idly-moving groups of ghost pokemon that call the place home.
❝Welcome to my home and reserve, mon pote~ Though you will find I am far from living alone.❞
ketsuzoku:
Ah! He knows that voice and face anywhere!
Sordward is in no way slow to show his delight at C’s presence with a wave and arms open to offer a hug.
“Well well well, if it isn’t my favorite letter of the alphabet! Fancy seeing you around– I swear I thought I’d never see you face-to-face after so long!”
AH, WHAT A warm reunion this has turned out to be! While their first meeting had been a more than rocky start, maintained contact over the phone numbers exchanged...
Well, truthfully, it had worked out more than C had ever thought to expect, and while she wasn’t typically one for physical affection, she moves in to accept the hug all the same ( a gentle contact, though not a shy one ). As she steps back from the embrace, she grins, a hand reaching down to graze the head of her Banette as he lingers at her side.
❝Mm, indeed! I trust you’ve been well? Work has a way of keeping me moving around and around... but how lucky I am to be led back here once more! I’m quite eager to get back to exploring. I haven’t yet gotten to see all there is to see, after all!❞
@meteormashed
Continued from X
THE WOMAN WAVES a dismissive hand at the apologies, already kneeling so an already moving J can scoop gentle armfuls of fallen berries into a large, sturdy-looking crochet bag.
❝Oh, no no, please don’t worry about it for another moment! Little accidents like this happen to the best of us, yes? Too many others would sooner walk right past. It’s no trouble; we’re in no hurry to get anywhere. Right, mon petit problème?❞
Her gaze turns to her Banette, who simply deposits another bundle of berries with a little grin. Seemingly satisfied with the ‘response’, the woman nods, standing back up as the last of the berries are tucked safely away.
❝Lead the way~! We’ll see to it that there’s no more bruised berries than necessary.❞
touyatiredforthis:
Hearing her response in place of a name, he couldn’t help but loosen up at the rather funny coincidence. Touya turns around to better face the Hex Maniac with a puzzled grin.
“C, huh… Y’know, you’re the second person I’ve evah met that’s just gone by one letter. You aren’t gonna use my hometown as some part of a weird self-righteous takeovah, are ya?“
He lets out a little disdainful laugh, though it wasn’t directed towards N.
"It’s a little town anyway. Nuvema. Population like 100 at best, y'know? Got a little place here in Nimbasa these days.”
WHAT A... LOADED few sentences he started with. The woman can only blink, somewhat blindsided... but thankfully, he carries on, eliminating the need to get into all of that ( though her curiosity remains peaked ). Shaking her head, she offers an airy chuckle.
❝I don’t have any such ‘takeovers’ on my to-do list, no worries~! It’s simply a matter of... nostalgia, you could say? The town I grew up near was not a big one, either. I have something of a soft spot for quieter places.❞
She pauses, pale fingers moving to brush a few unruly stray hairs back into place.
❝Nimbasa, however... I have been there before, once or twice! I have yet to explore it all, but I have seen a musical or two. Have you attended one before?❞
bonnefey:
He shakes his head, ever pleased at hearing her explanation.
“Indeed, I’ve only ever heard secondhand, in passing from you. Is it in Kalos? I’m certain I can take a long weekend there…”
HOW CARELESS OF her! Her palm collides gently with the side of her head before falling and politely folding itself with the other. Donning a smile that was only a tad apologetic, C tilts her head from side to side, contemplative.
❝You could say that, yes~ However, I think you’ll find that getting there is far simpler than flying out... or perhaps more complicated to some. We’ll see where you fall on that spectrum, hmm?❞
An arm extends, gesturing widely to the side of herself.
❝It... you could say it is a wanderer much like I am. Don’t worry too much about the hows and whys. Just know that you can find my home from anywhere, if you really wish to. I could lead you there now; it isn’t far.❞
Is this duo likeable?
You are a likable person (67.86%).

You are a somewhat likable person (52.14%).

How do you need to be loved?
till the end of forever
you need to be loved unconditionally. you need to be reminded that love is not temporary, that you deserve it. that those who love you will not leave. you need to be loved the way angels love humanity. or how devils love angels. you need to be loved in greatness, in fullness, you need to be loved hard and fierce. loud, shout it to the ends of the earth, your love won’t leave. you need to be loved when nothing else will be. you need to realize you are worthy even through the end.

bonnefey:
There’s a moment of pause as he got a good look at the piece of paper, dumbfounded by the contents… But after, thoroughly charmed by it.
“Ahah! I confess, I had expected something rather mysterious, but this one… Well, they just care a lot about you, don’t they? ‘Keeper…’ I still have yet to see this place of yours. I would imagine your friends are quite happy there.”
THE CHUCKLE SHE offers is a quiet, airy sort of sound that carries in the air as she deposits the drawing back under her cloak ( after a quick, fond glance down at it ).
❝The odd and the ominous is often all the general public get to see of them. Striking to see such normalcy, isn’t it? Yes, I do think it’s safe for me to say they care for me, and I return that care twofold! Such sweet little haunts, once you get to know them~❞
She smiles dreamily at the thought of home, swaying her arms for a moment or two in silence... Stopping rather abruptly in the next moment.
❝That reminds me! Have I really not invited you over to the reserve yet?? I would be pleased to show you how happy they are firsthand!❞
@bonnefey replied to this post:
"Do you have any examples? You have me quite curious."
THE HEX MANIAC beams at the question, tenting her hands in delight.
❝I do, as a matter of fact~! I received a gift the other day that would work perfectly. Here, please do take a look!❞
She reaches under her cloak to retrieve a folded piece of paper, on which is a crayon drawing depicting a scribbly rendition of C and a vaguely Pikachu-esque shape ( presumably a Mimikyu, all things considered ), the two surrounded by trees and music notes. The drawing is labeled in childlike scrawl: ‘ME’ and ‘KEEPER’, respectively.
