NIGHT ONE - START

You dream of falling into the endless sea of the unmade...

All I can do for you... is to let you hit the ground.

And so they did.

A... "Decidueye" opened their eyes to a sudden crash, and yet, they felt no pain. Confused, they pushed themselves off the grass, landing on their talons and trying to look around. This, unfortunately, only led to more confusion - for what they found was... a certainly surreal sight.

The branches of trees were their roots, the rivers were flying through the air, and the clouds acted as the dirt below. The sky was a magenta-ish pink; no sun, moon, or stars to be seen.

"... What is this place?" The perplexed Pokemon asked themselves out loud... "Wait, what?" Lifting their feathered hands up to their face, bewilderment only skyrocketed in their mind. They held their beak shut, and tried to speak again; "Hello?" It did not open, yet the voice that seemed to be theirs was clear. "What is... Why am I able to..."

Still so concerned with the situation, they hastily looked around their surroundings. They called out, "Artemis? Cassidy?" Twirling around, their eyes darted to everywhere possible - but their friends were nowhere to be found in this place. "Oh, oh no..." Now, it's panic which takes over the Pokemon's body, sending them into a frantic state.

A simple shuffle in the bushes takes their immediate attention; "What are you!?" They hop into an offensive stance, aimed and ready to fire at the exact place the sound came from.

Whoever you are, maybe try calming them down before they hit you.

( @askghostishdreamers Griffin -> Keldeo )

Griffin gazed down silently at Keldeo. "... You're strong. Too strong, maybe..." Unfortunate memories flickered in their mind, making them concerned about if the one in front of them had gone through the same. They tilted their head. "Mythical... How long have you lived for? How long did you train for...?"

*Keldeo clenched their teeth and shuffled a bit at the Deciueye’s words. It seems like they had hit a bit of a sore subject for them.*

Keldeo: I’d appreciate if you kept any speculation about my worthiness as a legendary to yourself.

*However, upon looking into this young Pokémon’s eyes, they saw something…familiar. An emotion that they had felt once before. Keldeo took a deep breath to calm themselves. Their expression softened as they studied the young one.*

Keldeo: My apologies… it seems that you were not making that comment out of malice.

As for your question, I am roughly 300 years old. I had been raised by the Swords since I was nearly a year old, and trained since I was around five. However, I didn’t begin my transition into a legendary until I was a teenager.

Would you believe that I am still a mere young adult when compared to other legendaries?

[ @askghostishdreamers (Gardevoir) Griffin @ Taffy ]

Griffin approaches Taffy and her hole from behind. They got on their knees to get closer to Taffy's level, then patted the ground a bit, hoping the noise would take her attention.

Once she saw them, they then made a movement with their hands, as if pretending to dig with a shovel. They then pointed at Taffy, and tilted their head curiously.

[ It seems they're asking about how Taffy is able to dig? ]

*Taffy used her psychic abilities to show the Gardevoir her shovel before returning to her work.*

Taffy: Being a psychic type helps too! Makes it less physically demanding for me. Anyways, you wanna join? You can keep any bones or treasure we find! I’m looking for something specific!

[ @ask-theguard ] ??? the Smeargle:

"A Decidueye of both past and present... now how did you manage that?" the tired looking Smeargle pondered aloud as they got uncomfortably close before backing up. "You don't have to answer that.. a better question is how do you plan to be able to get into that laptop when it eventually dies? Or have you managed to befriend a Rotom?" they ask with a tilt of their head.

Griffin, seeing the Smeargle come so close and ask that question, had to fight muscle memory's urges to simply kick it away. But to attack creatures you have not even an ounce of knowledge on isn't a smart choice; so they simply waited, and breathed out a sigh of relief once the Smeargle backed away. They didn't dare give any response to that initial question, for their own sake.

The new question was much less concerning.

"The laptop isn't showing the battery percentage on the startup screen, like it normally would. That means I don't know how long I have until it possibly dies out, so I'd have to constantly assume I don't have much time." Griffin opens the laptop again, and starts typing things on it - things you can't quite see - whilst continuing. "That's only if it actually even needs one in a place like... this." You can hear a tinge of disgust when they said that, which is fair. "Places have endless possibilities, and I don't know which possibilities are constants in this specific place. Maybe laptops don't need battery here, who knows. It'd certainly make my task easier."

"But, if it does die... I don't know what else I'd do," they admitted, "Simple as that. Maybe I'll look around for something else that could help me."

Silvan @ Griffin: Silvan looked at Griffin from side to side, and looked perplexed. They had never seen a Pokemon like him before. And so, they decided to straight up ask; "I don't recognise the kind of Pokemon you are. Erm... what exactly are you?"

"...?" Griffin was confused by this little Eevee's ability to walk up to a 7-foot tall, unknown Pokemon, and ask them a question that could easily get them killed if said to the wrong person. Safe to say that their instinctive offensive stance became somewhat askew in response. Still, though they didn't want to assume anything in a world that isn't like theirs, the Eevee wasn't particularly threatening to them. Their straightforwardness would certainly be an odd choice for some sort of bait, too, so...

"... I'm a Decidueye," Griffin answered. They paused for a moment - should they say what they were made of? They weren't certain on if it was obvious, and if the Eevee even knew what a "Hisuian Decidueye" was... But thinking it over, Griffin just guessed saying the rest of the truth won't mean much. "Specifically," they continued, "I'm a hybrid of the Alolan and Hisuian variants... That's all."

(@thelotuslava) Chrysaor@Griffin: the red Quilava looks at Griffin with interest, "Wow, you look neat! Kinda like the Decidueye from my home AND like the ones I've heard about from elsewhere. Is it possible to be a mix of the two? Do you know how you ended up looking like both of them?"

Griffin's body looked like it froze in place for a second, before it took a step back, away from Chrysaor.

"..."

Oh dear. This Quilava seemed to pose no threat - would it be good to answer them at all? Would that be worth it? Or would Griffin be better off running? Attacking should be the last resort...

The thoughts in their head were hard to line up into cohesive words and sentences. Faintly, one could've heard an ethereal sound akin to mumbling, muttering, whispering and all the like. None of them seemed comprehensible for the listener, though. Griffin looked as if they were staring off into space for a good while.

But they tried to force some words out.

"... Not. Not naturally. If it. Was like that. I would.

I would.

I would... be... ... ...

... and... I...

read... through...

through... ... ...

... ... ..."

... eventually, Griffin gave up on speaking. They glumly walked away from Chrysaor.

... Far off, you can see them shakily collapse on the ground.

NIGHT 1 - h i m ?

It's been a good while of searching, but Griffin hasn't found anyone or anything. It didn't help that this world had an... odd scent. It was nauseating, and it slowly grew worse over time. Griffin didn't notice it at first, but it's strong enough now that it's hard to not think about it.

Still, Griffin had other priorities. They needed to find someone else. Anyone they knew, just anyone. Even...

... Griffin was truly getting a bit desperate. They didn't deeply know why, but they just really needed to have someone around - especially in an unfamiliar place like this. They could definitely manage by their lonesome.

At some point, Griffin had to lean on a tree to take a quick rest. Their head was essentially throbbing because of the scent now. How does it even get that bad...? Griffin felt as if they wanted to retch, even though they... couldn't exactly do that. Honestly, they thought they were going to pass out soon. Odd, why was that...?

Griffin was thinking hard about this dilemma, until they caught something familiar in the corner of their eye.

Griffin, overtaken by their acknowledgement of this item, immediately sprinted over to pick it up and take a closer look at it. Their ailments were quickly swept to the side, which may have not been a good idea.

... They were right. This was his laptop. Griffin wondered why it was even here. What was the point?

But another realization came to them; Did this mean that he was confirmed to be here? What other possibilities could there be?

They opened the laptop, only to be greeted with the startup screen asking for a password.

Griffin did not know his password.

They mentally sighed before closing the laptop, and holding it close. He won't exactly be happy if it gets damaged, and it probably wouldn't be good if it ran out of battery. There weren't any chargers here... why would there be?

It seems their illness has weakened a fair amount now that they've found this laptop, but it's still lingering... Griffin should get going.
