Don't look at me

With a gentle sigh, he nodded, content knowing and after that, there would be no conversation between the two that night.

“GOD FUCKIN’ EEEHGHGH” The Tyrantum yelled as the Gogoat’s horns made contact with her face. She threw herself out of the way, steadying herself and swinging her gun over her shoulder, making the kill shot. Perhaps trying to kill the large Goat pokemon with a knife wasn’t the wisest of choices on Beth’s part, but she’d never admit that out loud. For now, the real concern was the crimson red liquid dripping down her face in large streams, and the pounding headache in the front of her head. She’d often forget she isn’t quite as durable… or well anywhere close to as durable as she was in pokemon form, but luckily her human form could take a hit much harder than a normal human could. Beth took off one of her gloves and carefully touched her nose, but swiftly retracted her hand and winced when she felt the singing pain upon contact. Looking at her fingertips, they were covered with her own warm blood, she could tell right away her nose was really fucked up, and her face was coooovered in blood. “ehhh grate.” Grumbling under her breath as she contemplated what to do, feeling a little dizzy from the blood and well getting smacked in the face by a 6 foot pokemon. This wasn’t good, and she didn’t like her options either. She could call… someone… for help. or she could put something on her face and attempt to walk back to the city with all the catches she had made, both options she wasn’t overly fond of… so why not just complain of social media instead. Beth took out her phone and typed something in about getting hit in the face, making it sound a lot less. bad.. than it really was. Deep down kind of hoping someone she knew would notice and head out to help without her having to ask, but lets be real.. While she was distracted though, she hardly notice the shadow looming over her, by the time she did a large paw swinging at her from behind, smacking her in the side of the head. The the dinosaurs ears were ring as she slowly she faded out of consciousness while being dragged through the forest by her feet, her blood painting the grass.

His heart sank as his head jerked back, while the sound of a loud slap echoed in the now silent room. His face stung… Ruth stared at the floor, mouth gaped open, only looking up in time to see the door to his apartment shut. He’d gone too far that time. His mind was reeling, he did the one thing he swore he never would, how could he be so insensitive? Ruth paced the room, before allowing himself to fall onto the sofa, hands covering his face. He took a heavy breath, feeling sick to his stomach, it was over… He’d ruined it all, the woman he’d whispered the three most powerful words he knew to after a long day, the woman he’d nuzzle into when a cold breeze would sweep in through the window, the woman who’d listen to him complain about work, she was gone and it was his fault. all his fault. “How could I be so stupid.” He yelled at himself while his eyes welled up with tears. He didn’t mean it but he knew it couldn’t take it back, what was done was done and he couldn’t help but feel… cold inside, like something was missing. He slipped his hands off his face and stared at them, then placing one on his stinging cheek. The monster hiccuped while the tears raced down his face, staining his vest with dark splotches. This was probably the closest he’d ever be to touching his loves hand again.

He could breath again. The large sharks sat alone on his balcony, watching the sunset over the sparkling ocean. His people were safe, his friends were safe, Cyllage was safe again, safe from the demons that were hunting the region for half of the year. Honestly he hadn’t realized till that moment of quietly sitting there just how much of a toll the whole event took on him. With a sigh, he sunk down into his chair, his face still feeling heavy despite his inner joy. He almost didn’t notice how low the corners of his mouth were, it’d been so long since he’d smiled properly it became normal to him to have that constant serious frown… He ran his hands over his face and sighed, but that sigh slowly turned into a quiet laugh. He almost felt like he was cracking away false skin away while he felt his cheeks finally turn up into an ear to ear toothy grin. Bruce bellowed out his loud, bubbly laugh. This is who he is, and he couldn’t help but laugh even louder when he thought about all the months he’d been so serious. His eyes stung as large tears streamed down his face, dripping off his chin onto his shirt, happy tears, tears that let out all the emotions he couldn’t show over the 6 months of hell. Finally, he breathed out and stopped laughing and instead hiccuped out a weaker laugh while his smile stayed plastered on his face “We’re safe again...” He said to himself, content and smiling again after what felt like forever.

As that happens, right before the laser reaches Ethel, it flicks off and the lights begin to flicker. The room is filled with silence before cables can be heard snapping and the blades hanging over Ethel fall-- right before hitting him, the light bulb pops and the lights go out.

Rilo is dropped onto a conveyor belt covered in trash, the room is completely dark, the floor couldn’t be seen from the conveyor belt-- or the walls. As he got up, the belt begins moving and a loud CHOMP can be heard behind him. For only a second Rilo glances back to see a large mouth like disposal with fire spitting out from inside. Rilo begins running, but soon after the speed kicks up on the belt and the trash pile begins to get higher

Barney is sitting around a small table on an old theatre stage with three other Monokuma’s sitting on each side left on the table (the rest of the students are sitting in the audience). A old flickering spot light flashes on over Barney and a single gun can be seen on the table. From here, one of the momokumas pick up the gun, remove 7 bullets and places it down on the table then spins it. The gun points to Barney, and he shakily picks up the pistol and holds it to his head. Swallows, and pulls the trigger-- but nothing happens. He lets out a big sigh of relief before the old spot light hanging over him, falls and crushes him and the rest of the table.

The screen comes back on with a large plate of freshly cut meats sitting out behind delly display glass. On the glass in front of the cuts of meat, a there 's a small label that says “Bethst Cuts”

Tommy gently clenched the thick stack of papers in his hands he has been slaving over part of the previous night and all of that day. For the past 24 hours he had been living off of coffee and crackers, his hair was disheveled and he could feel the headache of sleep depravity slowly sinking in. Who would have thought working with a stack of papers all day could be so time consuming and tiring. Today was far from over though, Tommy had big plans he had to get done before he could go home. That said, with a bright sleepy smile he handed in his paper work in, doubled checked for anything he had missed (Didn't want surprise over-due work), and when he found none he let out a satisfied sigh and headed for the door. Slipping on his jacket and waving goodbye to everyone, Tommy could barely contain his excitement. He has a goofy smile on his face and a little skip in his step, it was weird getting out of work this early but he needed to before the shop closed tonight, he really had to go tonight. It was around a 10 minute walk, which wasn't to bad for how big Lumiouse was, and he has about 20 minutes before it closed for the night. He already had which one he wanted picked out, actually he’d been looking for awhile now in different shops for the perfect one. That weekend Aroha and Tommy had plans to go to Ambrette Town for a small vacation. He would most likely be spending most of his time on the dock watching Aroha swim, but he didn’t mind, it was nice seeing her so happy. Tommy couldn’t swim that well himself, being a rock and steel type he was surprisingly heavy even in human form and just sinks, he usually needs a couple floaties to keep him at the surface. Sometimes he would sit in the water in his pokemon form to cool himself down or just relax a bit, only thing was they had to keep an eye out for any of the towns scientists trying to catch either of them. Retracing some memories and going over some expectations for the next trip Tommy couldn't help but smile more. Thats where they meet after all, when they were much younger, being a little older Tommy remembered a bit more than his girlfriend. His owner use to bring him down to the Aquarium where they worked part time, and while he was working Tommy would go play outside with Aroha, who still lived there at the time. They couldn't do much back then, Tommy would run up and down the dock well Aroha swam back and forth, occasionally splashing him with water. After his owners revived Beth though, without any warning or any time to say goodbye, they left for Snowbelle. Honestly, he never thought he would see her again, but when he did he could have never been happier. Kinda weird though, not seeing someone for so long then when you do again you can just… tell it’s them some how, despite how much they've changed. It was like, he seen her and instantly knew who she was, but it took nearly a week before it really hit him and once he brought it up it was like some adorable dinosaur reunion. Tommy snapped out of his memories when he realized he had finally reached his destination, he must have been walking faster than he thought because it only seemed to take half the time he expected. With a deep breath and a slightly nervous, but excited smile Tommy pushed open the door to the small jewelry shop. It was almost time to make another special memory and he only needed one last piece to put it all together. Aroha belongs to, @colatechi

Day 1. His morning started pretty normal, other than his horrible headache- or, well no that was pretty normal to. Major had slumped out of bed still half asleep, he had only got about five hours of sleep, but that was his own fault for staying out so late. It took him a few tries to get the bathroom door open before almost falling in, balancing was a lost cause at this time of the morning. Holding himself up against the counter, Major looked at himself in the mirror. He didn’t even remember putting on his pajamas last night, but even so he did a horrible job at it. The blue and white striped top must of fell off in his sleep, leaving only the matching shorts still on. He let out a small embarrassed huff, only glad he lived alone. Looking back up, he began cleaning up for the day, he had work this afternoon and was still on call. As he brushed his hair back Major recalled the events of last night, it was blurry but he did remember meeting a lady named Cel, and by golly was she pretty. Well Major thought to himself, he splashed some water on his face and then dried it off with a pink towel. When he looked back at himself again, he smiled for a moment… That smile grew even wider when he heard his phone go off. Did he give her his number last night and he didn’t remember? The chance was slim but it was there and he flew into the living room and grabbed his cell- his smile quickly disappearing again. “One new message from Kaillen” He was needed in the badlands asap. Major sighed, and rubbed his face, got his hopes up again haha. Day 3. He seen her again! He really seen her again! Major was down in a rut that night, and was going to the lame, very empty Colmarean bar. Before he could sit down though he was greeted by a toothy grin and a head of pink hair he recognized from the other night. His spirits were instantly lifted and whatever he was upset about was pushed to the back of his mind. For the first time in a long time Major didn’t drink, instead the two went out to the docks and talked for a couple hours. Now he was just getting to his apartment , waving goodbye and closing the buildings door. Once he got to his own apartment, he leaned back against the door and let out a long sigh and ran one of his hands over his face. He stayed out too late tonight, but he didn’t regret it at all. Nothing could ruin his good mood right now, not even remembering he had work that morning. Day 7. Major slumped into the office to grab his jacket and some info on the report he was about to deal with. His hair was still wet and his face a light shade of pink, with a big frown across it. It was Sunday, Majors day off. The day before he had made plans with Cel for the first time to go swimming in the ocean. Never in his life has Major just gone out and done something with a girl that was just “hanging out” and he was more than excited. It was only an hour in when Major heard his phone going off on the shore, and quickly paused whatever they might have been doing to go check it. Major calmly flicked on the screen and immediately lost his smile. “One new message from Kaillen” Again? Now? Letting out a defeated sigh he explained the situation to Cel. There was something going on in the badlands again, and since Major was the only near by ranger at the moment he needed to take care of it. Before he excited the city though, Cel called him out, still in her swimsuit. She gave him her number and told him to call whenever he was free again, so she could see if she had any free time to. Smiling again, Major nodded and headed off to work, seeming a little more distracted and clumsy than usual. Day 10. Midnight? Yeah it was midnight… like 12:30 or something. He couldn’t sleep at all, Majors mind had been racing all day since he found out he was getting a real day off for once. It was nice to know he will get a break from work, honestly all the fighting was making him sore, but that wasn’t what was on his mind. Only 3 days earlier Cel said he should text her whenever he was off again so they could hang out without being interrupted. He has been staring at her opened contacts for awhile now, trying to think of the right way to word his text. “hey i got the day off, wanna hang out tomorrow?” No.. no no that was to direct… “i have a day off tomorrow, you free?” That just sounded desperate…. Major sighed and pulled his comforter over his head and just went with the flow the best he could and typed. “hey its major, sorry its late but i just found out i’ll have the day off today. i know its short notice but if your free would you want to hang out again?” Day 11. It was 10 pm, and Major practically danced into his apartment. He has a big dumb goofy smile plastered on his face and his cheeks were bright red. All day he spent with Cel and just five minutes ago both went home, he was able to contain his happiness for the time being but now that he was home and alone he could sing and dance all he wanted. Putting his phone down on the bed side table, Major changed into his blue and white striped pajamas and flopped into bed, pulling the pillow over his face. Even though he was exhausted, he didn’t want to sleep at all. The two of them spent the day in Lumiouse together, then went back to Colmarean around 6. The whole day was a blast and not a single thing seemed to go wrong, he could have never asked for more. Majors little schoolgirl fit was quickly interrupted by his phone going off. He turned his head to look at it with an instant look of disappointment. It was probably Kaillen again, reminding him that he had to work the next morning or something. With a defeated groan, he forced himself to pick up the phone, that exhaustion just now hitting him, but yet again he was woken up when he flicked on the screen. “One new message from Cel, Hey today was pretty great, we should do it again sometime hun” Quickly rolling over and holding his phone up over his head and started typing a reply, whiting a couple seconds before sending. “that would be nice, whenever your free tell me and I’ll see if I can get time off !” Major hugged his phone and laid their, letting out a deep relaxed sigh this time. He had a crush on her, that was pretty obvious at this point (He probably had it since day one) but he had never felt like this about a girl before. Like he actually got to know her and it wasn’t some lame meeting at the bar and a dumb date the next day, it was like they were actually friends. In that case though, Major wouldn’t say anything. Being her friend was enough as it is, he wouldn’t want to ruin that like he did with every good relationship, by trying to… make a move…. maybe…… Aw geez what is he going to do... -- Cel belongs to, @flenja

“Have you ever wished on a shooting star before, Riko?” “You don’t really believe in that kinda do you?” “What reason do I have not to?” It was the middle of June, Keyah and Riko had gone to Cyllage to go to the beach but the two of them lost track of time. Before they realized it it was 9:30 pm, and they just barely missed the last bus of the day, and their only safe way to get all the way home. Luckily, a local officer spotted them well he was biking home and stopped to ask who they were. Explaining their situation, he offered shared the idea that they camp out at the beach till the next morning. The weather was nice and they could set up around the building where he lives, just to be safe. After a brief phone call home, the two agreed and all three went to set up the tent. The officer gave them some blankets and snacks for the night and left them be. “Well, I think I have before… Maybe, when I was a lot younger.” “Oh Really? And did your wish come true?” The stare’s looked so clear against the dark blue sky, that plus the relaxing sound of the water almost made it looked like some scene out of some cheesy romance movie. Er-- but it wasn’t, it was just impromptu camp out with his best friend. Thats it, thats all. “I guess, but I’d call it more good luck than anything. I don’t really believe in miracles” “Is that so? Why did you make a wish then?” “I- I was younger… It was like a glimpse of hope I guess” “Well, what did you wish for then?” Staring at the stars was almost enchanting, it was impossible to count them all, so many other worlds spinning around them. He couldn’t help but daydream about going so far as to discover one of those worlds well the starred, Keyah would be better by then so they could go together. But he quickly snapped that day dream in half with his logic, he was just a nobody after all, he wouldn’t ever achieve something that big… Maybe Keyah would though, maybe. She always had that something, he couldn’t explain it but it just felt like someday she would something amazing. Or, maybe she already has. “I- I can’t tell you that!” “But why not, you said you don’t believe in it so whats the problem?” “Well uh. I can’t just- You… still believe so I don’t want to ruin that for you” “If you say so-” “Have you ever made a wish?” Later when the two got cold they pulled out one of the blankets left for them, and some marshmallows. They leaned on one another, both a little sleepy but neither really wanted to go to bed yet. It was only a little chilly, the breeze from the water wasn’t as strong as it was earlier that day surprisingly. The officer even helped them start a fire to keep them warm, just as long as they promise to put it out before they went to sleep. They each took one of the sticks of drift wood they found well getting set up and stuck the sugary puff balls on the end and held them carefully over the fire. “Yes I have! Not to long ago actually.” “Huh, When?” “I was at your house, we fell asleep on the sofa and I woke up around midnight, happened looked out the window, and seen a shooting star!” Both of them were pointing out all the constellations they could see, and counting all the bigger stars that seemed to shine brighter than the rest (Losing count a lot though). At some point, Riko complimenting her on how her smile could outshine any of the stars, without even noticing at first till’ she giggled. And for the next ten minutes Riko was a flustered mess. “And then you made a wish?” “Mhmm” “And did it come true?” “Not yet, I just need to give it time.” As they watched the stars, just their luck the happen to spot one shoot across the sky. It almost started Riko how fast Keyahs eyes lit up before clapping her hands together, closing her eyes and saying the age old nursery rhyme and then going quiet. Well she did the cute little “wishing ritual” Riko secretly copied her, only saying the rhyme in his head, and making sure he finished before her. When she did finish, she gave Riko a huge smile and the two of them laughed for no real reason. “What… did you wish for?” When the two finished goofing around, they rushed to put out the fire, seeing they had burnt up their marshmallows well they were distracted and it was almost dripping onto the blanket. Riko sprinted over the the water and filled up a bucket, then wabbled back with it, splashing all the water onto the fire, being very careful not to get Keyah wet. After that the both of them decided to crawl into the tent and just talk for a bit, sharing some of their own past memories of shooting stars. They both never even noticed when they fell asleep. “Hahahaa” “Wha-” “You said it yourself, I can’t tell you that, then it won’t come true!” Little did they realize, tomorrow was Sunday. -- Keyah belongs to, @colatechi

The delighted laughs and little squeals are like music to his ears. His beautiful baby girl was growing up so fast. Just last night she came running to him with a look of absolute joy. She has lost a tooth! One of the top middle ones and now there was a big gap in her proud toothy smile, that somehow made it even more adorable than before. Rory would tell her stories about the Tooth Flabébé, how they took little kids lost teeth well they slept leaving a little present under their pillow for the following morning. He had never seen Breezy run to bed so fast. Gently placing her tooth under her pillow and getting snug under the blanket. After playing her a song and kissing her forehead, he left the room and shut the door, immediately after scurrying over to Hans for help. Surprisingly, it didn’t take much to convince Hans to sneak into Breezys room and replace her tooth with a dollar and a piece of taffy. The Shedinja would have done it himself, but him being far less sneaky and very clumsy it was probably for the best to get a full fledge ghost to do it for him. The last thing he wanted was to see her disappointed face, finding out the tooth Flabébé was just a fairy tail. That next morning Rory was woken up by Breezy, repeating papa over and over again well shaking him. He peeked open one eye seeing her still in her purple and yellow nightgown. She had an ear to ear grin on her face, the small gap in her teeth made her whistle a little when she spoke. “Papa, Papa wake up! Look!” As he sat up the little Driftloon held out the money and piece of candy he had asked Hans to leave under her pillow. “Look what the Tooth Flabébé left for me! Can I eat it now?” Rory smiled and placed his hand over hers and poked her nose gently with the other. “Lets eat breakfast, kay?” She replied with a nod and happily tugged on his hand towards the kitchen where Hans and Ani sat waiting for them. --- Breeze @rainyanxiety

It was time, the true lesson of her power. She was going to do it. The one thing she could never do on her own before. Now that her two best friends seemed to be oh so busy with reading or trying to be cool, Stella was on her own when it came to transportation. Of course she had other people to turn to, but she didn’t want to ask for help. She REALLY hated asking for help. The blind bat stood strong, facing the gate to rout 4. It took some asking around to figure out what gate was the right gate, but she was finally here. This was it, she was going to give Alim a surprise visit, and maybe even Sam if she was in right now Santalune still to. With one big step she began her walk threw the gate, being very careful to not let the gate guard see she wasn't a trainer. She started slow, before going off into a sprint before anyone could stop her, just barely missing the wall. Here she was. The traturouse maze that was rout 4. Shes heard horror stories about this place… Tall scary men walking around with huge scissors, vicious pokemon lurking in the grass, and never ending tall hedge mazes littering the whole aria. She could hear it too, the snipping of those blood stained scissors, the cries of deadly wild pokemon, and strangely even water almost like some odd waterfall! She was ready, after all of her training she was truly ready. Letting out a battle cry, Stella threw herself at the dangers ahead, never once thinking about turning back. It sounded like a battle being fought around her. Skidding followed by a yell and a crash. The crumbling of poisonous plants under her feet, she even had to fight her way through the thick walls of the maze to get away from the deadly scissors. Even threw all that, Stella never showed a wink of fear. Before she left the rout, she remembered one last thing. After some feeling around she found herself a flower. Despite the horrible things she had heard, apparently rout 4 had surprisingly wonderful flowers. The young girl proudly entered the town with a huge smile on her face, made her way to Alim’s house by memory, and loudly knocked on the door. A couple of second later, Alim found herself looking at a dirt and leaf covered Stella with a bad sunburn, holding out a trembling Flabébé sitting on a red flower. “I heard you’re better now, so I came to see you! All by my self!”
