HE KILLED HER! SHE'S DEAD!

[brb sobbing uncontrollably.]

MYSTIC MAYAAAAAAA!

[Action? Yeah, not possible. She ran off as soon as she "saw it happen", and now she's crying on the top floor of the Sprout Tower, in some obscure corner.]

[Now, sleep deprivation miiight be getting to Shelly, but he can tell this will result in no good.

He has to do something, though.]

Calm down. Nothing happened to her. You were just having a nightmare. [... He hopes Maya Fey DIDN'T just suddenly die or boy, that would be awkward.]

[voice] oh man. I'm sorry

[mysticpearly]

Y-YOU GET AWAY FROM ME! [you can't tell if she's angry or scared or a very unhealthy mix of both, although she visibly scoots backward toward the wall a little.]

[voice] No, I'm sorry ;_;

[shellderkillder]

[Oh Lord. He's not sure if it's the fact that this all came from a blunder of his or the fact that she's just a child that's making him care much more than he normally would, but in either case. it's quite uncomfortable.]

Pearl, please. I'm not going to hurt you or Maya Fey.

You're lying, Mr. de Killer!

YOU'VE BEEN LYING ALL ALONG!

[voice]

[mysticpearly]

S-She's not!

IT WAS MR. DE KILLER, MISS TRUCY. He tells everyone his name is Mr. Doe but he tried to kill her back home and he did it this time!

Except Mystic Maya, 'cause...

[SOB.]

'CAUSE SHE'S ALREADY DEAD! [Renewed burst of tears.]

[newhero]

Hello?

[ever since waking up, Sora'd been wandering about what to him is a Violet City devoid of people, pokémon, any smidge of an opportunity for him to find a friend and light to hang on to. somewhere in the darkness, though, Sora keeps thinking he hears someone calling out to him, so he's immediately reaching out to find them in whatever direction he thinks they're coming from, both yelling into the emptiness and into his pokégear.]

Are you out there? Hey! Answer me!

[mysticpearly]

S-Sora? I'm here...

[newhero]

[a long pause. was that a voice he'd just heard? Sora can't tell where it's coming from, and when he taps the pokégear, its only response is a lot of white noise and a distorted screen.]

Who was that? Where are you? I can't...

[mysticpearly]

Sora, it's me! Pearl.

[totesaladder]

[OHGOD WHAT]

P-Pearly! I'm okay! I'm right here!

[video]

[mysticpearly]

[The fact that so many people have been telling her she's living a nightmare right now is actually to Maya's disadvantage: Pearly thinks Maya's coming back to haunt her. So you hear redoubled sobbing. She's covering her ears and squeezing her eyes shut.]

Go away go away go away go away...

[video]

[totesaladder]

Pearly!

[Maya's voice is a bit frantic, and she shakes her gear in an attempt to reach her cousin through her nightmares. She wants to know where Pearl is, so she can gather her into her arms and hug her and tell her that everything is okay, just like... just like Mia used to with her. But she can't, and she feels so helpless.]

Pearly, don't cry! It's me! I'm alive, I'm alive!

[video]

[mysticpearly]

Don't say that! [She has no idea what to believe right now.]
