I am tired of my own thoughts.

     There are some situations one wishes they could forget. There are other situations one wishes everyone would forget. 

     It had been a hot day. The stifling heat was the sort that occupied your mind and pushed all thoughts but those of it into the farthest corners. It was the kind that warmed in your lungs and stuck uncomfortably in the back of your neck. For Kura, it was the type of heat that made you forget to bring your key when you went out to buy ice cream. 

     “Damn this.” She cursed between breaths as she attempted to climb up the side of her house. At this point, she had managed to grab a hold of the edge of her roof so she was dangling a mere six inches above the ground. “I hate-” Kura groaned and tried to pull herself up. Her arms trembled. Letting go of the roof, she landed with a thud. “Why.” Placing her palms on her cheek, she dragged her hands down with frustration. She glanced then at the neighboring house, at the convenient smooth-topped wall around it and the nearness of it to her own roof. Looking around her, she inhaled. She stared at the wall and ran. 

     Leaping at the wall, Kura managed to hook her leg around the other side to pull herself up. She hopped onto the roof of the other house just as the owner opened the door to get her mail. At the sound, Raphaela looked up and found a stranger balanced on her rooftop.

     “Uh.” The sound stretched on. “Um.” The sound was replaced. “Well.” Kura managed a word. “It isn’t what it looks like, I swear!” Kura managed a sentence.

     Trainers are a hardy kind of being, they must be. Traversing down many dirt paths up mountains and through forest, they travel across regions adapting to the rugged camping lifestyle. The life of a trainer is cast, among many, with a rose-colored tint. It is the life of a traveler romanticized and yearned for. It is the embodiment of the emotion rising when gazing out through a window at the hilltops surrounding and blocking the view of beyond. And so many youths grasp at the life of adventurer, of trainer, and travel down the beaten paths still brimming with promise and whimsy.

     And with so many adventurers searching for their own fantastical journey, it is not a wonder that they meet. Some cross paths as ships do, flashing bright smiles before continuing on their way. Others meet like Slowpokes and Shellders do, and if one knows the evolution they are familiar with the change brought on when two such beings meet.

     Their meeting had been, though surely ordinary compared to others, particularly unusual. It begins with rain.

     A hard rain. The kind of rain that prods at your skin with the intention to anger until your skin is numb and, you are almost certain, bruising. Alyx had, by some great stroke of luck, managed to find an old gazebo just down the pathway. Tall grass surrounded the structure, poking through the cracks planted by age that held the stone steps. Vines clothed the gazebo but the dark of the night and rain kept Alyx from seeing to what extent. Extending her hand to the seat, she recoiled at the gooey mush that met her skin. 

     Reaching into her belt’s pouch, she took out two pokeballs. The first pokemon was an Ampharos whose tail began to illuminate the area. The other was a Bisharp. With nothing else to do but wait for the storm to end, Alyx had every intention of cleaning the gazebo, at least enough so that she could sleep without worry.

     It is here that the meeting began with a wavering blue-ish flame poking out in the dark. The slow methodical approach through the sheet of rain that continued to ever pour was disconcerting. Alyx paused and the Bisharp stopped cutting away at the vines, turning instead to get between Alyx and the flame. Any words the other could have shouted were lost to the storm. She could have shouted ‘Who are you?’ or simply ‘Hey!’ and maybe she did but the other would not have known. 

     Slowly, the flame approached Ampharos’s circle of light and through the rain a figure emerged, a lady whose face was covered by clinging strands of hair followed by a Lampent. Perhaps, there was fear, just a small shiver running up and down through Alyx’s spine. Lampent was a known Pokemon, yes, but the other looked more like a phantom than a trainer. And the other stopped, in the downpour, just before the shadows ended.

     Alyx stepped forward. “Hey, what are yo-”

     “A ghost.” The words were spoken just above the noise of the rain causing Alyx to falter in surprise. Before any inquiry could be thrown, the other spoke again but with a smile and a raising of her head. “Did I look like one? Sorry for the scare, but the rain and everything made it just perfect.” 

     “I’m Kura.” She continued, walking towards the gazebo. Taking a seat in a spot cleared of plants, she laughed, flashing the other a grin. “If you don’t mind, I’ll be resting here for the night as well.”

Ari was determined to find something of import–anything, really. A part of him was sure that there wasn’t much of anything to find, but he had to do something. If he didn’t, he thought he might go crazy. So, for what felt like the thousandth time, Ari left the Inn and headed for the most obvious landmark: the signpost. There was a girl already standing there, considering it. Nothing too strange; after all, they were all looking for something, here. He was about to pass her by like all the others, when she called out to him.

Ari blinked.

Usually (Usually? What ‘usually?’ Not like he could remember), such a straightforward attempt at conversation would have seemed suspicious. And yet, somehow, Ari couldn’t bring himself to distrust that wide smile. It seemed too genuine to be fake.

What harm could it do, talking to her? Maybe she’d have some thoughts on their situation. Some more information. Something. So, Ari tried to respond in kind: “All right, then–friend it is!” And if the joy was a little forced, well, who cared?

“What’re you doing out here?” He glanced at the signpost behind her. “Thinking about heading…home?” The word tasted strange in his mouth, and he wasn’t entirely sure it was solely because of his memory issues.

     The command had been selfish, an imposition of a friendship that had been born simply from convenience. He had been there when she needed a distraction and so a distraction he was made out to be. Kura was not sure what kind of person she could be said to be but she was sure it would not be selfless. Already, standing in front of the signpost she had felt two things very strongly about herself: 1. that she was a coward and 2. she was the kind who did not want to think about it. And so that made her twice a coward, at least in her book. The selfishness, something she had already suspected, came partly from the cowardice and mostly from her wants. She did not want to be left alone with her thoughts so she wanted a distraction, a friend, someone. So when she bowed and said, with a smile, “My name is Kura, please take care of me~” (as she felt this was something people used to say around her hometown) she was thinking of adding despicable to her list of growing traits. But the conversation continued.

       Her smile faltered with his question, her shoulders sinking. “Ahh, I was.” Kura replied after a breath then stretched as she turned away from the signpost towards the valley. “But I thought a walk would be much less vexing.” She took a few steps forward before glancing over her shoulder. “Shall we?”

fleur knew she couldnt get into anymore fights, because the last time she did,         she ended up making slate worry too much over her. she remembered how         his face had scrunched up as he vehemently denied her claim, but she         remembered his worried yelling as he tried to tear the fight apart. she knew         she was strong, and he did, too, but the male had easily taken down someone         fleur had lost to time and time again, so slate was adamant about avoiding         fighting him. 

        she sighed, walking into the inn with a natural scowl. she was itching for a fight,         but she guessed she would have to make due with not fighting. sadly. what a         bummer. she heard someone exclaim something loudly, and she turned to see         a girl mourning over something. she walked over swiftly, sitting down in front         of her with a smile, lacing her fingers together and putting her head atop of it. 

                                        ‘ mind if i take this seat ? ‘

[relincuo-blog]

     The footsteps sounded poking at Kura’s curiosity but she refused to lift her head until she was certain they did not belong to someone who would simply get food then leave. Besides, the table was comforting in a way. When the footsteps became the sound of shifting wood, Kura raised her head to find someone else looking at her. Lips parted but then reunited in a smile. It was unusual for someone else to start a conversation with her and she was grateful. “I don’t mind at all!”

     Kura sat up, folding her hands onto her lap. The other girl was rather small in an adorable way, though Kura’s impression of the other was being formed after several hours of glancing at tall, massive-muscled warriors and brawlers and so the petite form was amplified in comparison. “I’d be happy to share a seat. I don’t think I’ve had much for company or conversation since I arrived here. How has it been for you?”

                         pale fingers ghost across the pages of a book, one that seems vaguely familiar to him, bur he can’t tell where. perhaps from the childhood he can’t remember anymore. but how would he know? after all, he can’t remember it at all.  he doesn’t really mind though. what he does know is that everything from the past he can’t remember is gone now. why would he want to reopen wounds by trying to regain those memories? he knows what were most important to him, people and a certain thing he used to do, and that was all he needed.

he doesn’t need the rest of them. a fresh piece of paper is exactly what slate needs. but at the moment, he really can’t do anything with a sundown curfew, so he chooses to head to the highest floor of the inn and read books. and that he did. he’s been there since roughly midday, and now that the sun was setting and people were returning to the lower floors of the inn, the stack of books piled high by the comfortable chair he was sitting in.

at the sound of a woman’s voice, he turns his head slowly to face where it came from, tilting his head slightly to the side. thick, messy bangs shadow one eye when he does this, yet returns back to normal once he straightens his back again. “i…don’t really mind…too much” he points to the chair across from him, as if signalling for her to ‘take a seat’. “sit. if you want, of course. and i can understand. it’s loud down there.” he just shrugs, and continues to read.

     With his permission, Kura steps lightly in. The circular set up, at least of the lounge, would have felt warm if it had been filled with people and some airy chatter. Instead, it was empty save for the two, the books, and the rising noise that drifted up from the floorboards. She plops down into the chair with a foof due to the air in the cushions meeting suddenly with her weight. Kura blinks, straightening up in the seat and then slouching into it. It was definitely a seat she could fall asleep in. A hum vibrates on her lips as she adjusts her position so she wasn’t quite sitting in the seat as much as she was curled up on it. When she is about as comfortable as she imagines she could be, Kura glances over to him. 

      “It is a sad situation so anger and despair are both appropriate responses but I can’t quite work myself up to join them.” Kura lays her head down on the arm of the sofa chair. “Somehow the noise is amplified if you aren’t in the thick of it all shouting with them.” She lifts her head then. “But! Enough of that talk. Let’s see...You’ve collected a lot of books. Have you been here long or are you a particularly fast reader?”

     Kura reaches out to the signpost, the bases of her fingers pressing firmly onto the wood. It did not feel magical for all the trouble it was causing but it was. Her features shift into a frown and she raises her head to look at the arrow pointing her home. The sign looms above her and she drops her hand to cross her arms, weight leaning comfortably to her right. “To go home or not? Gods you are annoying, you know?” Perhaps, she was talking just for the sake of it as her only known audience was the sign but hearing her own voice was better than nothing. 

      The others were distant, the ones who had awoken in the same situation she had. Many had found people to cry to or grow enraged with, piling their emotions upon one another. She regretted not joining in, enduring the noise then would have been better than the quiet she had now. Kura folds her hands behind her back and turns away from the sign with the intention of returning to the inn. She stops finding someone else behind her. There is a moment of surprise, a breath and widened eyes, then she smiles. Clapping her hands together, Kura’s voice almost seems to be lifting into a song. “Hello there! Befriend me!”

    Kura sighs as she twirl her spoon in the murky brown liquid that had once been her hot coffee. It had grown cold with the day, not forgotten but largely ignored. As the anger had faded from the other inn residents, many had decided to promptly move onto denial. So the tavern had emptied after breakfast and stayed that way throughout lunch, with only a few strangers wandering in to eat before returning to their rooms. It would be a lie to say that Kura was not the least bit interested in returning home but she did not know who to return as. The fear of her meeting her family was about equal to her desire to. She stirs the liquid once more and sighs again.

      The clinking of her spoon against the interior rim of the mug is all that breaks the quiet of the tavern floor. Kura frowns and glares down at her coffee. “It’s so damn empty!” She exclaims before placing her head on the table. “Is this how a puppy feels when everyone leaves?”

     The wooden railing was cold beneath Kura’s palm. It curved into the mold of her hand and brushed beneath her palm smooth like sand. She held it loosely and focused on the soft pat of her feet as she climbed the stairs. The sound was a gentle tapping like an impatient fingertip on a paper stack and so it was swalloed by the cries and protests of the people below. The tavern held brewing arguments and bubbling voices that threatened to spill beyond the doors. Above the bar, the inn’s rooms housed fervid whispers and whimpering cries that swelled and shrank in volume. Confronted with either gloom or anger, both being too loud, too taxing, Kura chose to venture upwards to the quieter floor.

        She was not alone. Upon reaching the top of the stairs, she found the back of a stranger. The floor opened up to an airy lounge with bookshelves lining the walls and padded seats, chairs it seemed you could sink into, meeting in the middle and there the other person was. Someone else had settled into the room before her and Kura paused, fingertips just barely ghosting the edge of the railing. It was here she was to decide who she was. With no memory of others, she could not say if she was good or bad, quiet or loud. It bothered her, this not knowing, and she felt anything she would do would betray who she had been. She did not know the right answer so she would guess. 

        Though improper, this stranger would be her first test. Kura decided this as she patted the sides of her cheeks lightly and eased her lips into a smile. “I wasn’t expecting anyone else to be here.” She called, leaning a bit to her side as if peering at him from behind a door. “I hope you don’t mind if I join you. I wanted to put some distance between myself and everything below.”

[wordsnquotes]

I just think life is meaningless altogether, most of the time. Yes, there is beauty in the moment, but beyond that? People come and go and you can never count on anyone, and life is just life; a mystery, and ultimately meaningless. The meaning is in the creation, and the creation is a human construct; and people just make up stuff in order to get through life.

René Vernor, Anything Is Possible (via wordsnquotes)
