PISCES NEW MOON

VHS MIXTAPE - 90 MINUTES 

NEW AGE DRONE FOR TROUBLED SUMMERS INTO NEW BEGINNINGS 

I was motivated by my one of my best friends and closest collaborators @kenaim to start putting out my own mix tapes so my first one will be based on our new moon that happens this upcoming weekend. (Which also happens to be his birthday!) A lot of gnarliness has sort of abounded this summer and I have a lot to say in this piece. It’s going to be a doozy. It’s limited to 6 copies. It comes with some secret extras too. <3 

The cobblestone streets of Ecruteak were filled with a thick mist that swirled through the air, concealing hordes of young children and their pokemon who had been decked out in spooky costumes for the night of Halloween. Amongst the children walked a strange, cloaked figure - the only determining feature a shining, cheshire cat smile. Upon tall heels the figure strolled through the streets and alleyways, never once letting that smile fade, and occasionally giving passersby a glimpse of his dark mask of which the white coverings of his eyeholes reflected under the street lamps. Every so often, the figure produced a purple pumpkin bucket from his cloak - a ridiculous and cheap thing, but filled with delicious candies. And tonight, the mysterious person was being generous. With strange psychic abilities he'd drop several pieces of candy into the bucket of each passing child, and always with a polite bow. One would have never guessed that such a character was scared out of his wits.

When he was finally alone in a dark alleyway, Will sighed and let the hood of the cloak slide down from his head. Eyes moving down to the bucket of candy, he removed a piece of delicious miltank chocolate and unwrapped it, devouring it in a single bite.. At least such a taste was comforting. Otherwise, the darkness of the old city and the chill in the air sent shivers down the Psychic's spine. But - he'd come with a purpose. It was Halloween. It was time to unleash his wrath on the Gym Leader of Ecruteak. The boy giggled to himself.

"Ahhh...Morty," he said aloud to himself, "this year's gonna be good indeed...."

After the momentary break, Will strolled back out from the dark and continued on his way, the heels of his boots clacking upon stone as he walked. Continuing towards the gym, memories passed through the Elite's mind. As a child, Will had spent two large chunks of time living in Ecruteak with separate foster families. Since he and Morty were around the same age, it came as no surprise that they'd become quick friends. Of course, from the time they'd met, Will had trembled in fear in the presence of the other's ghostly acquaintances. Though many people were afraid of the paranormal, Will's fear of ghosts had originally be debilitating, and while living in Ecruteak it seemed that mention of them was all around him. After a long period of exposing himself to the horrible, horrible pokemon with the help of his foster parents, Will had overcome about ten percent of that fear. And that's about where it remained up to the present day. There was something about being tied to ancient psychic abilities that brought along with it a horribly instinctual fear of things like ghosts, the dark....even bugs. Such a terrible curse it was!

Still, Morty had always been important to the Psychic. He was kind, intelligent, and even possessed a special psychic ability of his own. Will had been able to bond with Morty through that. Of course, it didn't stop the Elite from desiring to spook his friend in revenge for all the time of being exposed to those damn ghost-types. Unfortunately, it seemed that few things seemed to spook Morty.

Will finally approached the Pokemon Gym of Ecruteak City and stealthily snuck in with a group of children, although the stealthiness of such an act could be arguable due to Will's tall height over the children - height that was being provided by five inch heels. The difference between being 5'6" and 5'11" was absolutely astounding, and the Psychic wasn't used to it. Obviously walking into a large establishment with a group of children would have brought attention to himself. But without saying a word, the violette had pulled the dark hood back over his head and had stepped easily into the gym's door. From then on, the deep fog and darkness within the building provided excellent concealment. Careful not to bump into anyone, Will levitated across platforms in order to get to his target. 

All within the gym were the voices of children, having come to collect candy from the various trainers within. It always seemed that Johto, with its old traditions and ancient history, had been very into folklore, and Halloween seemed to be a huge event across the entire region. It wasn't surprising for the gyms of Johto to be open for trick-or-treaters, as even the Plateau was often visited by families who could fly to the location. The cheer in the air brought a soft smile to Will's face.

After much searching through the darkness, the Psychic caught sight of his target. Quietly, he snuck around behind the other, careful to keep himself floating in the security of the gym's fog. With a little mental wiggling, Will created a stream between his mind and the mind of his friend.

How unfortunate, he spoke into the connection between thoughts as clearly as if he'd spoken aloud, that your time has to come right now. 

Trying to withhold his chuckles, Will used his ability to levitate to get a bit closer to Morty without having to place a heeled boot onto the platform.

It's time to go - are you ready to join your friends in the afterlife? Are you ready to become...one of them?
