Unreality Pokeblog RP || Pokemon / Bloodborne crossover || Pelipper mail is on, magic anons are off

[the-celestial-clinic]

I believe I should introduce myself more formally, now that I know a little more about my situation.

I am Iosefka. I run a clinic in Yharnam, but given that I am not present there at the moment, I am looking for ways I may return home.

At least, however, these strange creatures scattered about the land aren't quite beasts. I have learned that they are dubbed "Pokemon", as I've been asking around this town for more information.

...I suppose I will introduce myself here as well. I am also Iosefka

Be more precise for the audience, at the very least.

Very well. But you may know me as Fauxsefka, as you all have so lovingly bestowed this sobriquet upon me. I am a part of the Choir, and I seek Ascension to be one amongst the Great Ones.

My Pokemon

Haven [Audino, F]

Fauxsefka's Pokemon

Parasite [Snivy, M]

Emissary [Elgyem, F]

[the-celestial-clinic]

would you lick an amygdala's skull? what would it take for you to?

...No, I believe there would be... an uncountable amount of diseases upon it.

I would lick it if it meant I could ascend.

[the-celestial-clinic]

So, uh. Thoughts on patient consent? Y'all have a code of ethics in Yharnam?

....if you had a disabled patient, and a non-disabled patient. Would you prioritize one life over the other?

//OOC: hi so since i'm not like, a medical expert nor a medical ethics expert, i feel a bit too timid to answer this question ;w; sorry!

[the-celestial-clinic]

girl that's not ascension that's just torture

Well, perhaps it takes some torture to reach ascension. Besides, how do you know what that dream was?

It was torture, I assure you.

[the-celestial-clinic]

Musharna mail! A nightmare. 

You don’t know where you are, or when you woke up. Time exists on a continuum and you are only privy to this moment, nothing more. 

You’re strapped down to a table, blindfolded and gagged, more a lump than a person. It’s cold and numb and the numbness is the worst part, if you could only manage to see a sliver of light or even press your fingernail against your thumb, you’d have some sensation to work with. But there’s nothing. 

“No eyes to see evil, no voice to cry suffering,” rasps a voice, and smooth fingernails trace their way down your cheek. You shudder, involuntarily trying to shift away, but nothing. 

The blindfold feels slightly looser now. As if there’s more room now. As if your eyes have simply vanished— which is impossible, your captor has to be getting to your head or maybe it’s drugs. Probably drugs. 

“No touch to cause harm,” and now there’s a razor thin line of something so cold it burns, traced along your upper leg. Is it poison? You can’t feel it. No, you can, there’s something like stone creeping up your body from the edge of the scratch like scales. You can’t stop it. What were you trying to stop? Why?

“No heart,” the voice rasps, “to feel the end!”

You open your eyes to a world with the inverse of color, where light is dark. You step forward. 

The thing has the inverse of a face, blank and pale like a mask waiting to be worn.  You reach out to it. You know what must be done. 

Oh gods

Is this ascension? What a terrible and painful and beautiful thing...

Of course you would think it "beautiful." Is this what you wanted to do to my patients?

More or less.

[gotta-pet-em-all]

What was the biggest red flag from your ex that you ignored? I'll start, mine was that she shut down the conversation any time I tried to talk about my childhood in the cult and said "hey, you're here now, and that's what matters"

[the-celestial-clinic]

Well, I had an ex. And good riddance, too. She betrayed the Church and left us behind— honestly, I was blind to not see that coming sooner.

You had a girlfriend?

Why do you act so shocked? It's not that big of a deal.

[lumenflowered]

The real red flag here is that you consider leaving a cult to be a red flag, Fauxsefka.

[gotta-pet-em-all]

I hope she's doing well, wherever she is now. I'm sorry that she abandoned you. I know it hurts. But sometimes there is a moment when you have the barest fragment of a chance to leave with nothing but the clothes on your back. So I can't fault her for running, even if she left you behind. Because she left everything behind, not just you.

[the-celestial-clinic]

Well, you—

...You...

I... wasn't expecting that.

Hmph.

...Sometimes I find it almost difficult to fault her, too. I think I'm still clouded by that foolish infatuation of mine. But at the same time, the Church has never loved me more for refusing to follow in her footsteps.

Well. I suppose I must thank you at the very least for being somewhat more considerate than Miss Lady Maria.

[gotta-pet-em-all]

The Church has been manipulating you and trying to cut you off from any life outside of them. They are the umbilical cord wrapped loosely around your neck.

I'm not going to continue this conversation any further. I am laying down this boundary and if you break it I will block you. But please take some time to imagine just how easily they could turn on you, without hesitation.

[the-celestial-clinic]

Your unsettling imagery does not daunt me.

But fine. If you wish to cease this discussion, that is fine.

I wasn't expecting that.

[the-celestial-clinic]

The vials contain a special form of blood that's tailored to cause a very specific type of transformation. Fauxsefka, you might want to study this and learn how to reproduce it yourself. It could endear the people of your new world to you a bit more, if you were able to produce this for people who need it.

However, I would advise against either of you injecting it yourself, as the formula will have no effect on you.

Damn it! This close to making a discovery, only to discover that it will have no effect on me?

That sounds... suspicious.

I suppose I'll take whatever I can get, to support the other members of the Church.

[the-celestial-clinic]

What in the names of the Great Ones just happened.

You... won a trainer battle, according to Cheren?

What did he say his name was? N? What a strange name. Ugh, Parasite nearly faltered, too.

Confined by Pokeballs... I was under the assumption Haven liked it in there, though... Perhaps I misinterpreted.

Or perhaps I did not. Haven still does not seem to mind.

Hm. Cheren said he wanted to become... Champion, did he. That seems like an awfully prestigious title for a child to be bestowed. Regardless, I am quite interested in this... gym challenge that he seeks to participate in. Striaton Gym, he said— I believe strength will aid me quite well.

Don't let it get to your head...

Who do you think I am?

[swiftbluelightning]

...N is in a... complicated position. Try to be understanding.

[the-celestial-clinic]

I... see. I will do my best. If nothing else, he... seems polite.

Him? Polite?

Then again, my standards may have been lowered.

[the-celestial-clinic]

Pelipper mail for N!

A year's supply of estrogen, in injectable form. The vials may appear somewhat familiar to Yharnam clinicians.

I'm afraid you just missed him. Why on earth did you want to send him... these, though? What is even inside?

[the-celestial-clinic]

Ah— Excuse me, what in Yharnam

I thought you enjoyed state-sanctioned violence?

I wasn't aware some people had the ability to understand Pokemon, though...

[the-fluffiest-trainer]

There are other people in this world who can understand pokemon? I thought I was the only one, because it's my special talent as a pony from Equestria. I've never heard of any human here who can talk to pokemon!

...Also hi. I don't think we've spoken before, I just saw your post come across my dash and I just have to know more. I hope you both are safe from the state-sanctioned violence. That sounds far more like a Yharnam thing than a here thing.

[the-celestial-clinic]

Ah, hello. Your special talent as a...?

I might as well not question that.

Yes. This young man came up to us and introduced himself as N— I suppose he took an interest to Fauxsefka's Pokemon, for he challenged her to a battle without warning. The two are still in the midst of battling, though I think Fauxsefka is beginning to gain an edge...

[the-celestial-clinic]

[the-celestial-clinic]

is fauxsefka going to be the next cults georg. maria's bad enough-

The next cults what?

[lumenflowered]

...I will not be explaining this one.

[the-celestial-clinic]

Do you happen to know anyone who could? I am... mildly concerned.

[lumenflowered]

There is an individual referred to as "Spiders Georg" best known for being an outlier in their field. Specifically, for... well, consuming more spiders than the average person, to the point that the 'average' of how many spiders consumed is considerably skilled.

I have in the past been referred to as "Cults Georg" because of my past involvement with several organizations that could, charitably, be referred to as cults. I can only assume that this anonymous coward is implying that you could be involved in multiple cults as well.

[the-celestial-clinic]

...Ah. I believe you have just explained it, but thank you regardless.

What is a cult.

.......Well, that may explain some things.

Don't you patronize me.

I am not, though I am not certain if I am the best-equipped to explain what a cult is.

[cxsmictxy]

A "cult", in the modern sense of the word, is a highly exclusive and controlling social group revolving around a charismatic leader. They are not always religious in nature but they certainly CAN be, as the Healing Church was, with the leader claiming a direct connection to the divine in some way and acting as a mediator between their followers and the divine.

Any religious movement will have cult-like tendencies, but not every religious movement is a cult.

[the-celestial-clinic]

Okay, then. Why is there a specific word for this?
