Old AU muse reawoken with a fresh coat of paint!

[corruptedsouls]

I... feel strange...

[That's understandable, Toby. Seeing as you were written quite a while ago, I had to do some updating, polishing, and cleaning to get you in a better spot. You lost all of your game memories from Witches Reign, unfortunately, but it's not something that can be helped.]

...Oh... is that... why...

[Yes, that's why.]

...I remember... a blue Moltres...

Why...?

[That's... not a Moltres you're remembering, Toby.]

Then... what is it...?

[Oh, I'm sure you'll find out when he shows up. I sincerely doubt Marco is going to let this go without tearing me a new something.]

...Hm...

Comments

[frustrates]

... So his name is Marco, and your name is Tobias?

These muns and their theme naming. It's fucking embarrassing.

[says the girl who named her pokemon after herself.]

[corruptedsouls]

[You really don't have a leg to stand on there, April.]

Um... she didn't name him... I don't think...

[frustrates]

... Well then I just made an ass out of you and me.

[corruptedsouls]

I think... it was just you...

[So nice, Toby. But really, he doesn't actually understand the full meaning of what he's saying, so...]

[frustrates]

(Wow. Is he rude or just an idiot?)

[She stares and then ... a slow clap.]

Right, because you don't even need my help becoming an ass.

[corruptedsouls]

...I don't think... I'm supposed to be one, though...


[April's Point






Tobias' Head.]

[frustrates]

.....

(It's official. This boy has the IQ of a Snorlax.)

[corruptedsouls]

[Oh, are we doing the silent thing now? Okay.

He will just stare at you then.]

[frustrates]

["That look... it's so intriguing!"]

[frustrates]

[... Just kidding. This is no place for a pokemon battle, is it?]

You got a staring problem or something?

[corruptedsouls]

[Blinkblink, headtilt.]

...Where are your Pokemon?

[frustrates]

[....well this mood suddenly got awkward.]

... I left them with my mom in Hearthome for a while. Um. Other business.

[corruptedsouls]

Oh. I see...

[There is no real visible reaction to that. ...but come to think of it, this kid doesn't have any Pokeballs on his belt. Where the fuck are his Pokemon?]

[frustrates]

[yeah what's up with that. I mean, there ... MIGHT be people who don't have any, but wow, how do you get through life. You're a 10 years old grown ass adult!]

... So are you even a pokemon trainer?

[corruptedsouls]

...I used to be...

[Hey April, how do you like his irises SUDDENLY GLITCHING OUT AND GLOWING FOR A SECOND while he has this creepy ass dark expression?]

[frustrates]

Yeah, you look kinda like this guy Ern- GAH!

[DA FUQ

she reflexively flings her pokedex at his face.]

... ...

[WHY DID SHE FLING HER POKEDEX AT HIS FACE]

[corruptedsouls]

[WHY DID YOU FLING YOUR POKEDEX AT HIS FACE. It beans him right in the head and he recoils a little. His eyes are completely normal now. Did you just imagine that? You so crazy, April.]

Ow...

[frustrates]

[...ahem]

NICKI, scan for Neural Upset Zone.

[and now she's talking to her pokedex. Sooooo crazy.]

[frustrates]

[the pokedex, now at the ground at Tobias's feet... answers back?!]

Understood! Actually, I already have a readout, but this method of collecting data is not ideal, so please be more careful when operating NICKI in the future~

[.... April just looks at it dumbly .... ]

Uh. Sorry.

[frustrates]

[... ping!]

You are forgiven! Please wait...

Data is incomplete. Estimated Potential NUZ is at 86%.

"Estimated Potential?" Ugh, where's the manual for this thing...

[corruptedsouls]

[Um, he's standing right here guys.]

...what are you talking about?

[frustrates]

Uh.

Well I hate to break it to you, but it kinda looks like you're the first human to be affected by a Neural Upset Zone. A patient zero...

[come to think of it, maybe she'd better pull her scarf up over her nose and face. She doesn't know what causes these yet, but fuck getting airborne viruses if that's the case. Her voice is muffled as it rests over her face.]

You should really go see a Professor.

[corruptedsouls]

....No. I can't.

[And he suddenly looks very, very uncomfortable.]

[frustrates]

[and she suddenly looks very, very suspicious.]

Why not?

[corruptedsouls]

Because... they'll try to kill me again...

[He seems dead serious there, April.]

They... they did last time... I can't...

[Oh shit. GJ, there go his eyes again. And you're the one who started it, so Mun is not helping.]
