2nd Note [Action x2]

[notepad_necromancer]

[Friday - Mausoleum]
[The trek through the caves and the mine had been a mostly silent one, save for the sightings of wild Pokémon. After her accidental post to the network last week, Eucliwood had tried to fall back away from the city. She'd never ventured into the Old City back when she'd lived in Union, and so the ruins of the old city she'd stumbled across were quite new to her. Once there, she'd followed her Duskull companion and ended up in the mausoleum.

That's where she spent the day. Eu didn't disturb anything, although she wandered around, reading what she could. Maybe she'd find something about her original family, although she doubted it. Any kind of clues as to who she really was or to control her powers would have been greatly welcomed. While that didn't happen, she did find something else. A new companion. A Misdreavus. Unlike Yoruno's mischievous nature, this one was...better, although she seemed to hold herself with an air of superiority. No one was perfect, though.

For the remainder of the day, Eucliwood can be found wandering around the Mausoleum and parts of the Old City nearby. She won't flee if someone approaches, but she'll make no move to initiate contact, either.]


[Saturday Evening - Union City]
[After her relatively uneventful exploration of the Old City and Mausoleum, Eucliwood went to make her way back the way she came. Unfortunately for her, she didn't quite remember which direction the caves had been, and she ended up lost.

Wandering aimlessly, she found some semblance of a path. She didn't know where it led, but when she stopped, she realized she was in the one place she didn't want to be. Union City. She didn't panic, although she was frightened. There were so many people here. People she might accidentally hurt.

Dressed as she was, she'd draw attention to herself if she traveled during the day. So she did her best to find an out of the way spot to sit down and keep to herself until evening, where she felt more comfortable traveling. Provided the city hadn't changed much in her absence, finding her way back out wouldn't be an issue.

Feel free to spot her sitting up against a wall somewhere, or walking through the city once it starts getting dark. During the day, her Pokémon won't be following her, but at night, they will be.]

Comments

[somnambulatory]

Oh... all right.

Um... what's your name?

[notepad_necromancer]

Eucliwood.

[somnambulatory]

Eucliwood.

[Just repeating that out loud to make sure she's saying it right. It's a bit of a strange name.]

I'm Jinxie.

[notepad_necromancer]

[Eu nods to confirm that yes, Jinxie was pronouncing it correctly.]

I see.

[Is it obvious that Eu isn't exactly a very social person yet?]

[somnambulatory]

Um...

[And Jinxie is kind of awkward!]

[notepad_necromancer]

Problem?

[somnambulatory]

No... I'm sorry.

[notepad_necromancer]

Why are you apologizing?

[somnambulatory]

I wasn't sure what else to say.

[notepad_necromancer]

Oh.

[There's one of those moments of awkward silence, before she starts scribbling another note.]

Don't lose your Pokémon.

[And speaking of Pokémon, Jinxie might suddenly find Eu's Duskull over her shoulder, letting out a creepy little giggle.]

[somnambulatory]

Eep!

[Jinxie makes a surprised squeaking sound at that, not having noticed the Duskull moving over next to her.]

I-I'll try to remember that.

[notepad_necromancer]

[Eucliwood actually has to try not to crack a smile at that. Yoruno really could be a handful.]

Don't mind him.

[somnambulatory]

[And out comes her own Duskull from around the other side, also laughing.]

It's okay, I'm used to it.

[notepad_necromancer]

[Eu looks at it for a moment, before returning her attention to Jinxie.]

Yours is the same?

[somnambulatory]

He likes to play tricks.

[notepad_necromancer]

Yoruno does too.

[somnambulatory]

I bet they could be good friends.

[notepad_necromancer]

[Friends. Eucliwood's expression flickers for a moment. For just that brief second, she looked...lonely. Friends were something she's always wanted.]

That's possible.

[somnambulatory]

...I think we could be, too. If you'd want to.

[notepad_necromancer]

[Eucliwood pauses at that for a moment. Did she...really just offer to be friends with her? She felt a pang of guilt. She really did want friends, even if it was just one. But what would happen when she found out about Eu's power?

Would she think she was dangerous? Would she abandon her like her parents?

All these questions swirled around like a storm in her mind.]

[somnambulatory]

I-I'm sorry... that was probably too forward of me. We've only just met and all.

[notepad_necromancer]

[Eu just shakes her head slowly. There was no need for her to apologize.]

It's fine.

[somnambulatory]

...Would you like to come in for some tea, then?

[notepad_necromancer]

[Tea. How long had it been since Eu had actually been able to sit down and have tea? She pondered over it for a moment. She could always head back out of the city later.]

Tea would be fine.

[somnambulatory]

I'm sure Papa won't mind. Bring Yoruno too.
