The ILEX Team

(Ajd. Sorry for the delay. It's now Night time: the infecteds are still roaming around outside, but in far less number than they were. Most of them have gone elsewhere in search of victims. Some ruckus can be heard outside from some infected that are fighting for a leftover from the fallen survivors. I do believe, since they're taking guarding shift, that you can use time skip if you want. As for Xander, he's just plain asleep and drooling on the floor for now. Concider this as a skip my turn)

The midnight had settled in, the grunts and snarls of the undead faint outside their barricades, the slightest sound of ripping flesh and slobbering jaws unnerving the Phanteon. His ethereal form was wispy, body translucent against the filtered moonlight that snaked it's way through the boarded windows. Faustus flexed his paws, tensing and relaxing his muscles. He was beginning to get bored, the bland, filthy walls of the building uninteresting and the beaten furniture around him barely of any amusement. He blinked a few times, shaking any excess debris off of his pelt before standing, turning towards the Eevee.

Gently padding over to him, Faustus quietly prodded at his side. "It's midnight," he mumbled, smiling. "It's your turn for the night shift." The Phanteon stretched one last time, sweeping away the piles of dust in the corner of the room. Circling the area three times, he laid down--grooming his ghostly fur. "Wake me at the first sign of trouble. There's still a few undead out there that are lingering." With a nod, he closed his eyes, but stayed awake. He was never one for sleeping, after all. His body only needed rest--not the dreams of Odette that plagued him.

His dreams where little. Maybe a few sounds or voices though those could of simply been that of the undead outside. Figures or shapes now gone. Whatever he had seen in his dreams was now being forgotten as a paw prodded his side. Eleroo's brown eyes peeled open feeling sticky and glossed over. The image of the room never really left is sight as though his eyes had never properly shut during his rest. "It's midnight, It's your turn for the night shift." He seemed tired, or at least bored to say the least.

The Eevee stood and stretched his tiny limps. "Alright." He mummbled slowly, hopping down from the barricade. His small paws barely made a sound if at all on the wooden floor of the house. He hopped into the windowsill and sit down in the same position as earlier. Though boards blocked most the view small gaps allowed Eleroo enough space to stare out into the dark moonlit area outside. "Wake me at the first sign of trouble. There's still a few undead out there that are lingering."

Its eyes fell to being only slits as he peered outside. Nothing really seemed to go threw his mind, ears only slightly quivering at the call of a loud undead. It was going to be a uneventful few hours but that was exactly what the Eevee was used to.
______

The space outside had grown brighter until it was all a pretty shade of blue. Now the detail of the shrubs and stones he had been looking at could be seen. Rising to his paws Eleroo gave each cramped leg a decent stretch before going over to Xander. His paw pressed against his wispy form, sinking slightly with each tap. "Your turn, last shift." Though as he said it sleep wasn't really what he was looking for. He was tired, maybe mentally from lack of stimulation. I need something to do.. The thought floated numbly through his head. He passed it off regardless and climbed back up to his perch and lied down. There wasn't really much he could do anyway. His eyes closed yet he didn't sleep at first, the image the room around him still clear. Eleroo dozed into a half-slumbering state as the light grew outside.

Xander's dreams weren't very clear, even to him. Most of them were blurrs of an old lifestyle, and some where remaining of other Pokémon's dreams he had eaten in the past. A consequence for the abuse of Dream Eater attack, perhaps? Anyway, it wasn't pleasant nor it was bad either. But that "neutrality" still bugger the Haunter, and it shown throught the constant mumbling and moving in his sleep. Everything stopped suddenly when he felt something.... warm pressing against his body. Xander opened his eyes, still groggy from the sleep, as the little Eleroo tells him he got the last shift. After he nodded to the Eevee, he stretched himself and yawned. He then looks by the window, to see that the first ray of the sun were already tainting the horizon with a pale blue color. Outside, nothing really interesting. Some limbs could be seen near the resting place of the infortunate souls that perished last night, as well as one or two infected bodies. At least, they won't trouble anyone anymore, thought Xander.

He looked back at his companions. Both seemed to sleep peacefully, at least they looked like. Xander tried to form a Shadow Ball in his hand. It worked, despite a little strain in his claw. Good, he was regaining his powers back. His headache seems to have faded from now. He didn't thought he was that tired, and shaked the claw so the Ball faded without actually being launched. He then post at the window, watching carefully to any movement he could spot outside.


After a while, Xander saw the Sun rise from the horizon. The forms and shapes of houses and whatnot outside were now clear. But Xander wasn't really paying attention. He got bored from looking outside, mostly because there wasn't anymore infected around, so he decided to fortify the barracade they created. Silently, to not wake up his companions, he was getting debrits from the crashed down roof, and was putting them against the door to make a pile. However, he was still looking at the window from time to time, just to make sure there wasn't anything to worry about. As he was moving stuff, he noticed that there was the hole in the wall Joshua made when he met him. Fortunately, it was hidden by a bush. That's why they didn't had troubles with it. But Xander noted that detail, and decided that as soon as the others will wake up, they're gonna have a meeting to decide what they're gonna do.

[OOC: Skip, please. Faustus is still kinda 'resting'. Anyone feel free to wake him up lol.]

Her pelt was fluffed up from irritation and cold. The Eevee marched out of the trees of Ilex with a nerve pounding in her head. It was dark, damp, and cold. What a horrible place to be trapped for the night. A lump of brush still clung to her pelt. "Why you little!" She snapped at it, shaking her pelt whilst her teeth came within whiskers length of the plant. It came loose and fell to the ground, and the Eevee kicking it away with one paw, grumbling loudly.

She looked about the Town around her. It was a mess. Shambles. A wreck. She sighed, "Fantastic." She continued to march through, disgusted by blood trails that seemed remotely fresh on the ground. There had to be someone worthwhile to her in this place, right? Or was it just another worthless town. Again. OR was that blood the only thing that could of been useful to her? The Eevee grumbles to herself, going over to a grassy spot and sitting down lightly to wash her face. This day was not starting out overly pleasant.
__________

His eyes blinked open slowly and he sank his face lower in his paws. The sun was coming up now and filtering into the room. It was considerably brighter then the last time he was awake and he could see Xander moving about, stacking more objects and furniture against the their barricade that he was resting upon. He watching the Haunter for a bit while he still looked to be asleep and when the ghost type stopped his blocking the Eevee finally rose to his paws and down to the floor.

Eleroo yawned and rubbed his eyes with one paw. After all the excitement the day before the Pokemon hadn't finished eating the food they had bothered to drag in here. His stomach growled for nourishment. Padding over to the food bags in the corner he grabbed one and lay facing Xander. Tearing open one of the packs of kibble and munched on it slowly. There wasn't much to say beside 'how was your watch' or 'what now'. His eyes drifted slowly to the Phanteon still laying in a sleeping position. "We should probably wake him."

Where am I...? Who am I...? What am I..? Why am I here..?

Her turquoise eyes snapped open, cautiously and steadily did she look around her surroundings. Uneasiness was in her chest, her mind was flat-out blank other than the questions that began to fill it. What exactly happened to her? Why is she here? Is there something going on that she did not know? What's her name?... At the moment, her mind was far too jumbled to make out what was her name. However, the area around her was completely unfamiliar, she was laid on a road that held the entrance to a dark, foreboding forest. What scared her the most was how the area made her chest feel heavy with anxiety, as if even with memory loss did her body remember how afraid she was. Was that the case? Either way, she has no idea what is going on. Slowly did she get up her eyes fixed on her small paws and delicate feet. Compared to the landscape, her white fur stood out and made her feel like an outsider. It came to her attention she was also wearing a dull, red scarf, battered from it's constant use. Delicately did she run her paw through it, the fabric giving her ease and peace.

Her name. What was it? She was now calm, taking in the situation that has been bestowed upon her. It was something pretty, her name was pretty. Who gave it to her? Why did she have it? Too many questions, they made her head pounded against her skull. However, she didn't know what to do here. Was there other people like her somewhere? It felt like for a long time she had never heard of anyone's voices, and rather that there is not a lot of people than there used to be. The area was quiet, yet she felt so many presences, foul ones at that. She floated around with her eyes constantly searching for someone, hoping they'll be the ones to give her answers. Someone, anyone would work. As long as she had her identity back. Though she felt like a completely new person, she wanted her old life back despite not knowing what it was. Her memories of the past, what defined her as a living, breathing person. Now she's like an empty doll.

The town she was in was a wreck, barely could she tell that it was once a town other than the piles of rummage and bricks that were once houses. What happened? There were blood trails fairly fresh on the ground, the strong smell of death and decay made her cringe. She shook her head, she'll find the answer. Soon.

Her prayers were answered when her gaze fell on a pile of brown -- but -- living fluff that was busily washing its face. A smile crept on her face in relief, but did she know this thing? Was this thing hostile? Kind? Quiet? The smile faded away just as quick as it came, the Togetic felt her chest tighten as she flew closer to the thing. It seemed clear that it wore a helmet, it was strange as it had rocks attached to it. Cautiously did she come to the brown fluff, her voice was hoarse, but clear enough to make out her question; "A-are you alright?" She asked, feeling awkward. Would this thing see her as weird? Creepy? She had no idea what to do, what was her name? Wouldn't this thing ask for her name?

Luca. My name is Luca.

But Luca did not introduce herself, nor did she ask the pile of brown fluff for her's either. It wasn't that she chose not to, but she felt like her throat constricted her from doing so, as if introductions would lead to something destructive.

Is this all a dream or not?

It was been a while since Xander was daydreaming, looking outside, thinking of nothing. He finally caught the little Eevee's movements when he waked up. Giving him a nod of the head, Xander simply said a sort "Mornin'" to Eleroo before looking outside again. He heard the Eevee searching throught the goods they have successfully brought over. The Haunter wondered if they should impose rationing to themselves. Who knows when they'll find edible food. He guessed that they could let it pass for only this first time, but he'll have to talk about that matter later. When the brown kit asked Xander if they should wake Faustus up, he looked at the other ghost Pokémon, before nodding. "Probably, yes. We have to come up with a plan on what we're gonna do next."

It was then that a sparkle of light hit the Haunter's face. He looked closely by the window. Something was moving outside. Hiding slightly away from the window, he only said:" Go wake Faustus up, we have movement outside" He tried to look more closely to the light source. Was it... an helmet, perhaps? Xander wasn't sure. Of course, he already saw other Pokémons with gears and stuff. Hell, he even saw not one, but TWO Pokémon wearing skulls as masks! While he was still looking, another Pokémon appeared. Xander was shocked by the whiteness of the newcommer. It was almost like.... it was an angel? Could there be more survivors, even after the slaughter of last night? Xander knew that sometimes, appearences can be deceiving, and those two newcommers could be infecteds. So, he guess their best options is to wait 'till something happens. That, or wait 'till they decide of something to do.

"We should probably wake him." As if on cue, the Phanteon's eyes opened, blinking a bit in a groggy daze before yawning. "Mornin'" he mumbles, getting to his paws. "Did I miss anything important?" his ears perked up as the Haunter looked out the window. "We have movement outside" Faustus curiously padded beside his fellow ghost-type, peering through the glass at the two figures distances away. "I'll go check them out or something, I need some fresh air anyways."

With a shrug, he phased through the wall with ease, body flickering into a single, faint, ghostly wisp of purple. The joys of being a ghost! he snickered a little, floating above the duo. Another Eevee (was there an overpopulation of the around here?) and a Togetic. Chuckling to himself, a mischievous smile crept up his muzzle as he revealed his form, levitating about two meters high in the air. Might as well have fun with these guys when he had the chance! "Ask not for whom the bell tolls!" Faustus bellowed, single eye glowing a bright red.

In a flash, he wisped his body to the other side of the duo, grinning. "It tolls for thee," And now to see if these Pokemon are still alive... A sudden, massive Shadow Ball formed within his mouth, and in minutes the Phanteon launched it at the two normal types, observing their reactions.

The Haunter agreed to waking their sleeping companion, "Go wake Faustus up," He says it with a hint of urgency but as the Eevee approached the Phanteon he seemed to of already been awake as he burst into life. "Mornin'" Taking one small step back in surprise he still manages to mutter back "Morning." No longer is he used to company or those little polite things you say to others now. "Did I miss anything important?" Xander continues, "We have movement outside," Causing Eleroo to shrug nonchalantly, "I guess that." His voice sounds tired.

Eleroo can't help but follow the purple Eeveelution as he approaches the window they had all peered through during the night and now gather at in the day. There was indeed something outside but all the small Eevee could catch was a flash of white. "I'll go check them out or something, I need some fresh air anyways." The brown furred one nods, watching with a bit of awe as the now known ghost type fazes through the wall like it didn't even exist. Now that's pretty cool. Carefully he climbed into the windowsill again, side-stepping as to not block Xander's view- Xander. He was a ghost, could he also fade through walls?

Blinking the distraction away Eleroo looks through the cracks to the outside world. He can see Faustus take to the air, floating and drifting like a giddy kid. I wonder what it's like to fly.. He's hovering over something and Eleroo's brown eyes slowly fall upon them..

The kit on the outside feels the hairs along her spine rise with irritation at a voice, "A-are you alright?" She looks to its direction seeing a fragile little Togetic floating in its place. Not even close to something she had hoped to find. "You shouldn't interrupt a lady during a bath." She groans, shifting her tail across the grass so that it may cover her paws. "But yes, Im alright. No monster is gonna put their filthy mitts on me." Turning her head from the Pokemon the Eevee doesn't know if she even wants to continue their conversation.

She wouldn't have to as a new voice joins them. "Ask not for whom the bell tolls!" Seek's blues eyes blink as her head tilts back to see whos calling, her helmet shifting awkwardly and near threatening to fall off. "It tolls for thee," The Pokemons form is still silhouetted due to the sun and moving too much for her to tell what it is. Her eyes focus just long enough to see the Shadow Ball it has created and now launched toward her. A small outward gasp and wide blue eyes tell of a feeling of familiarity as the Eevee stands her ground. Staring into the approaching ball of shadows her memories are vivid. This was an attack she has seen so many times before and knew how it worked.

Eleroo can feel his breath caught in his throat from the sight. He can't properly see her but he swears it is her. Pressing his nose hard against the boarded window he tried to see more but a Shadow Ball is all he can focus on. "NOOO!" Suddenly he was loud and squealing, his paws scratching and clawing at the wooden boards.

It came a whiskers length close to her before the Eevee ducked her face away, feeling the attack wisp and flow over her fur. It tugged and pulled her closer to the ground with an ethereal tinge, toppling the Eevee slightly before it could dissipate into the ground. She opened her eyes again, narrowed as she looked back to the sky. Catching the foreign Pokemons red gaze she knows its not him. A nerve of irritation pounds in her head. Getting firmly to her paws the Eevee shouts up to it, "You could of hurt someone like that you jerk!"

"You shouldn't interrupt a lady during a bath." She responded rather unamused, "But yes, Im alright. No monster is gonna put their filthy mitts on me." Monster? Luca blinked in awe and confusion. She was really brave despite being so small. Then again, Luca was about her size no? If it weren't for ability to fly, they would be around the same height. However, this made the Togetic rather saddened, she quietly wished she was that brave, otherwise this memory loss problem wouldn't be such a big deal. Before Luca could respond, a voice suddenly interrupts them. She looks up to the source, only to see a ghastly canid creature floating in the sky, it didn't even have wings! How was that possible? "Ask not for whom the bell tolls!" He proclaimed, "It tolls for thee." With that, a purple ball made of dark energy started flying towards them, was it her or did she just hear a muffled scream in the distance?

She did not move though, she glanced over at the Eevee was stood bravely against it, Luca wants to be brave too... She braced herself for the impact, but then plot twist; the ball did not affect them. The Togetic blinked open one eye in confusion, feeling a rather cool air overcome her rather than a shocking jolt. "You could of hurt someone like that you jerk!" The brown fluff next to her exclaimed. Luca felt surprise overcome her, the brown fluff's bravery saved them both! However, she was confused on the ball, was it just an illusion or was it because of some other reason that the move did not affect the Togetic?

Either way, she must take action between the war of words! "W-well that Shadow Ball didn't affect us," she stuttered, feeling her chest tighten with every word as her bravery began to crumble, "It's better than getting hit by an actual move right?" A small smile appeared at the Togetic's lips in hopes of bringing up the atmosphere.

A small, golden bipedal pokemon made its way down the path. She looked up, seeing the ruins of the town ahead. She sighed softly, continuing on into the town. She looked around, glancing at the rubble. Suddenly there was a loud voice, and something swooped overhead. She quickly went to hide, slightly scared by the sudden yell. She looked around, hearing more chattering in the distance. She saw the small canine thing fly around and back to the location of the voices. The small cow poked her head out, looking to the group of foreign looking pokemon. A Togetic, a Haunter, two Eevee and a... odd dog thing. She looked up at it again, then her eyebrows furrowed. She'd go fuck up some shit if they decided to try to attack her. Boldly, she stepped out and promptly walked over to the group.
"'Ello 'here, y'all. You folks bein' of the friendly type?" she said, her paw-hoof gripping together in a fist-like motion. She was ready to attack if they messed with her.

(OoC: Hfdkhgjkhsklgjdl Omg forgive me for this post it's terrible.)

"I'll go check them out or something, I need some fresh air anyways." The reaction of the ghostly eeveelution surprisede Xander at first, but he let him do what he wanted. After all, Ghosts Pokémons such as themselves have some adventages over the commoners, the most primordial of all in these apocalyptics times being able to phase into everything they could to hide from the infecteds. "Just be careful out there." was the only recommendation the Haunter could give to his ghost counterpart. As he floated throught the two unindentified Pokémons, he catched a glimpse of the awe that was in Eleroo's gaze. That make him smirks a little.

When he looked back at Fausuts, the smirk dissapeared from his face. What the heck he was doing there? Before he could react, he saw something he instantly recognised: A Shadow Ball, launched at the two other Pokémon. At the same time, the Little Eevee began to freneticaly scratching the barren window with his paws, shouting at the scene: "NOOOOOOOOO!!!!" The Shadow Ball went straight and hit both Pokémons, making the Haunter shout: "THE HELL HE THINKS HE'S DOING?!?!?!?"

Fading through the wall of Kurt's house, Xander promptly floated toward Faustus, as he saw that both newcommers were unharmed. Of course, a Shadow Ball, or any other Ghost attacks, wouldn't have harm them, since they were both Normal-type Pokémons (Or so he guessed). Midly irritated still, he shouted to Faustus:"The Hell is wrong with you Faustus??? You could have harm them!" He was frustrated enough that he didn't noticed another Pokémon coming to them.

Faustus couldn't believe the amount of bullshittery these survivors made.

"You could of hurt someone like that you jerk!" the Phanteon rolled his eye, dismissing his pre-evolution with a wave of his paw. When the Togetic stuttered, the ghost-type nods. "Look, I'm not a fucking ass to the point where I would use an actual fucking move, oh my Arceus." he scowled at the Eevee. "So chill your fucking tits lady, when you know damn well that the move I just used wouldn't have hurt you." he snorts. "Livings these days..." he grumbled under his breath, turning away to catch the sight of a...rather angry Xander floating towards them.

"The Hell is wrong with you Faustus??? You could have harm them!" the ghost-type grit his teeth and narrowed his eyes. What the hell were wrong with these Pokemon? "Oh my fucking god I'm calling bullshit." he spat. "Do you think that I'm STUPID enough to hurt them? Hey, guess the fuck what, there's a fucking REASON I chose a Shadow Ball, because I KNEW it wouldn't affect them. The fact that you're assuming my first intent was to harm them is just fucking insulting. Really. he snapped, slowly regaining his composure. "What the actual fuck is wrong with you guys, really. I come out to check if these two are living or not and you flip shits onto me. Not cool bro, not fucking cool." exhaling an exasperated sigh, he hears the sounds of footsteps and turns around.

"'Ello 'here, y'all. You folks bein' of the friendly type?" a Milktank. Faustus looked the female over, before shrugging and answering. "I dunno, ask them, since apparently I'm some inconsiderate jerk who intentionally tries to hurt others." he gives a shrug, beginning to pad away. "Why did O Fortuna have to stick me in with...these survivors anyways? The ones back in Stark were at least fun."

[OOC: aaaaand he's pissed.]

The sickly Eevee squeals with panic as he slams the boarded window with his shoulder. Pain shoots through his chest from the necklace hidden under his long furred main and his shoulder from impact. He wasn't worried for her safety, the attack was pointless. No, he was worried that it would irritate her to no end. "Don't!" He cries in vain. "THE HELL DOES HE THINK HE'S DOING?!?!?!?" Xander obviously feels the same, fazing through the wall to the outside immediately. "Dont leave me!" But the plea comes too late and the child is left alone in the house. Already he's panting from the effort and topples to the floor. There had to be a way out that wasn't the window or the door. The small Eevee runs about the room, whining in desperation as he looks for a way out.

There was cracks and scratches, a few tiny holes big enough for his paw but nothing large enough for the Eevee's entire body to slip through. Oh please let me out. He had to get out. He had to know if it was her. Stumbling over his own paws Eleroo falls to the ground. "Oof," The word comes without purpose and his ears fall forward over his face. Panic isn't going to help. About to stand small flecks of light catch his eye. Sunlight.. His view drifts over to the side and a hole can be seen, hidden on the outside by plant life. Wasting no time the weakened Eevee rushes out of it and just early enough to hear bits of a fight brewing, freezing before becoming visible.

The feeling of the attack made her fur itch. "W-well that Shadow Ball didn't affect us," Seek's eyes were blazing with anger, "That's because we aren't effective by Ghost moves. No duh. What Normal type didn't know that? "It's better than getting hit by an actual move right?" Was she kidding? "That was an actual move." This Togetic was useless to her. Too soft. This this, floaty JERK wasn't much better. "Just because we didn't get hurt doesn't make it not real." "Look, I'm not a fucking ass to the point where I would use an actual fucking move, oh my Arceus." Oh this guy. Tiny teeth clenched together hard in her mouth. "So chill your fucking tits lady, when you know damn well that the move I just used wouldn't have hurt you."

With lips drawn back she hissed at the Phanteon, "Maybe I knew it wouldn't cause I grew up with that but she sure didnt." With a quick flick of her head the Eevee gestures Luca. "Livings these days..." These days? THESE DAYS?! "Well you still shouldn't of shot at me you stupid idiot! When a Haunter came out of no where the yelling only continued. "The Hell is wrong with you Faustus??? You could have harmed them!" Faustus? The hell kind of name was Faustus?! The female Eevee's fur was completely fluffed up with angry and a growl rumbled loud in her throat.

The so called Faustus seemed to feel the same. "Oh my fucking god I'm calling bullshit." He was seething with anger just like she was! "Do you think that I'm STUPID enough to hurt them? Hey, guess the fuck what, there's a fucking REASON I chose a Shadow Ball, because I KNEW it wouldn't affect them. The fact that you're assuming my first intent was to harm them is just fucking insulting. Really. The hell was this guys problem? "But you STILL ATTACKED us with no WARNING. The hell was that for??" Her small claws curled in the soft dirt. To not attack him herself was a chore.

"What the actual fuck is wrong with you guys, really. I come out to check if these two are living or not and you flip shits onto me. Not cool bro, not fucking cool." Kicking onto her hind paws Seek points toward the Togetic floating close by. "This thing is white. White. Give it one glance and you can clearly see its clean. You think I'd let some disgusting beast next to me? NO. Geez, think!" With the high tension in the hair the heavy footsteps of an approaching Pokemon couldn't be picked up by the Eevee until it actually spoke. "'Ello 'here, y'all. You folks bein' of the friendly type?"

It was asking for the friendly type, and the floaty guy answers first. Really. "I dunno, ask them, since apparently I'm some inconsiderate jerk who intentionally tries to hurt others." WHAT. Was he kidding? You attacked us for no reason!" This was ridiculous. Completely ridiculous. Her head was literally spinning from yelling so much. "Why did O Fortuna have to stick me in with...these survivors anyways? The ones back in Stark were at least fun." She took the moment to to catch her breath, not bothering to respond.

Eleroo hadn't dared move while she yelled, knowing better then to even consider it. Taking the moment to compose himself the Eevee prepares himself mentally to enter the group. It sounded just like her. The voice, the attitude.. It had to be.. there was no way it wasn't.

Luca felt a frown come upon her face, newcomers came in; a ghost with two hands and another one of those fluffy things. Did they know her? Did she know them? The situation just grew worse with Luca's words; adding oil to the flame, she felt severely disappointed in herself. "Just because we didn't get hurt doesn't make it not real." The first Pokemon Luca met said, rather pissed off that the Togetic even dared to bother with this conversation. "Look, I'm not a fucking ass to the point where I would use an actual fucking move, oh my Arceus." The ghostly canid replied, also rather pissed off. Luca just fiddled with her hands as she listened to the conversation, feeling more and more disappointed in herself. Was she suppose to know something? Either way, the foul language was not helping, the constant arguing was going to lead to a bad ending. For some reason, the Togetic felt like this would end up worse than expected. "So chill your fucking tits lady, when you know damn well that the move I just used wouldn't have hurt you."

"Maybe I knew it wouldn't cause I grew up with that but she sure didn't." Luca flinched at the statement. She didn't know something. Of course she didn't know, she had no clue what was going on when she woke up. Luca couldn't possibly tell them she had memory loss now could she? They would take her as a madman! For now, the angel-like Pokemon shall carry the burden of her memory loss in hopes someone she found trustworthy to help her out. What caught her attention back into the conversation was when the ghastly canid groaned; "Why did O Fortuna have to stick me in with...these survivors anyways? The ones back in Stark were at least fun." Luca didn't know why, but it seemed to have touched her in a sensitive spot, making her a bit irritated. The Togetic felt as if she was bursting with anger, yet at the same time she didn't. Why was that? It was as if the body had remembered this situation. She felt the strong urge to slap the man, tell him to shut the hell up, and be grateful that he was even given company in the first place. Company? Luca thinks company is nice, but at the same time, she doesn't. What gives with her bipolar thought process?

Then again, she felt a tad bit more sorry for the other Pokemon that had just arrived. Though rather... eye-catching in coloration, it seems like she had arrived at the worst time possible and could possibly erupt more conflicts within this distant group. In the midst of this heated conversation, she slightly wished that she had the power to bring this group together and at the same time attempt to get back her memories into order.

Sunshine slightly flinched at the angry response.

"I dunno, ask them, since apparently I'm some inconsiderate jerk who intentionally tries to hurt others."

Sunshine watched as he turned around to walk away a bit muttering something. Her expression went into a nervous smile. She muttered to herself. "Seems like all th' guy was tryin' t' do was 'ave some fun." She shook her head a bit. Sunshine realized that she should probably introduce herself to break the silence. She straightened up and put on a grin.
"Howdy, y'all. 'm Sunshine~" she raised her paw and waved it a bit. "Nice t' meet ya folks~" she held her grin for a moment longer, looking to everyone to see how they would react.

(OoC: I'm glad this team moves so fast. |D But yeah, hi. :3)

Xander crossed his "arms" and tapped with one of his finger when the Eevee newcomer explained that they were attacked without warning. "Riiiiiight, Faustus. Way to go." The later response of Faustus aggraved Xander's now slowly-rising anger: "... And that the fuck is actually wrong with you Faustus? You went to check if they were infecteds, but you attacked them straight ahead. If it's "Checking if they are infecteds 101" for you, then we won't needs it again." With that said, the Haunter calmly float back to the house, exausted, clearly in mental pain, and swiping the tears from his face.

The conversation started to go astray, as the Haunter painfully remember the experience with the Arbok. The Ghost Eeveelution was starting to get as annoying as her. It was not good. Faustus then answered to YET ANOTHER survivor who just joined them. By the looks of it, the Miltank was surely a shiny, her golden colors confirming it. Sunshine... heh, what an appropriate name.

But Xander's train of toughts was brutally stopped when Faustus told about the Stark survivors. The Haunter's rage was so intence with that simple phrase that he couldn't hold it anymore: "Fun, you say, Faustus? FUN????? Look around you.... LOOK AROUND! IT'S THE FUCKING APOCALYPSE OUT THERE! YOU THINK IT'S FUN WHEN FELLOW SURVIVERS ARE BEING RIPPED APPART BY THOSE MONSTERS AND YOU CAN'T DO A FUCKING THING???? YOU THINK IT'S FUCKING FUN WHEN SURVIVORS KILLS EACHOTHERS OUT? YOU THINK IT'S FUN WHEN...WHEN.. (at this point, Xander begins to cry a little) ...WHEN YOUR TRAINER IS JUST.... MURDERED BY THOSE THINGS? YOU STILL *hiccup* THINK IT'S A MOTHERFUCKIN' GAME???? *He stopped, catching his breathe* If you still think it's just a game, then go. I'm not holding you to remain here, so go. Go *hiccup* search for your funnier friends. When you'll be done with your fun and you're eager to TRY TO FUCKING SURVIVE, you can come back.

 "This thing is white. White. Give it one glance and you can clearly see its clean. You think I'd let some disgusting beast next to me? NO. Geez, think!" the Phanteon simultaneously burst into a fit of made laughter, only stopped to catch his breath as he snickered. "So what? I've seen survivors pure as the moment they were born but they were infected all along. Besides, what about you?" he chuckles. "Pokemon usually don't know that they're infected until it gets to their head, y'know." Faustus found himself only laughing more, throat strained as he tried to regain his composure.

 "Fun, you say, Faustus? FUN????? Look around you.... LOOK AROUND! IT'S THE FUCKING APOCALYPSE OUT THERE! YOU THINK IT'S FUN WHEN FELLOW SURVIVERS ARE BEING RIPPED APPART BY THOSE MONSTERS AND YOU CAN'T DO A FUCKING THING???? YOU THINK IT'S FUCKING FUN WHEN SURVIVORS KILLS EACHOTHERS OUT?"

A grin erupts on the ghost's face, shrugging. "Now when did I ever say that? Chill bro, you're taking words and twisting them." he listened to the rest of the Haunter's speech, suppressing his urge to laugh. "You're letting to get to your head. The whole point is..." he glanced at the sky. "You have to get used to it, y'know? There isn't going to be a cure anytime soon, and there's going to be a whole lot more loss than you already have. You're not the only one who had friends and family murdered--most of the survivors you find will have a story just like your's. You've gotta accept that fact here, and have some fun." he looks back, chuckling with a grand smile. "If you don't have any fun, than what's the point in staying alive? When everyday may be your last, you might as well live it out the way you wanted, right? When you've lost everything you've held dear--might as well live out a life for them--like they would've wanted." he let a few moments pass, before turning away.

"When you'll be done with your fun and you're eager to TRY TO FUCKING SURVIVE, you can come back." he snorted, shrugging. "You have no right to judge the way I live--nor the right to decide where I can go, bro." the Phanteon comments, shrugging. "But I know when I'm not wanted." he eyed the Togetic, smiling a little before his body flickered and faded, melting into the Earth before vanishing.

But what the others couldn't see was that he was still there. Quietly, he travels through the soil, phasing into the darkness of the Normal-type's shadow. He leans to her ear, speaking quietly so only the Togetic can listen. "Can you hear me?" he mumbles, voice flowing like water. "The others can't hear me, nor see me. So tell me, what is your name?"

[OOC: he now dwells in Lucas's shadow.]

Panting through the yelling Eleroo can only listen as it goes on. More yelling and conversation all around but the female voice he wants has gone silent, no longer listening. That was like her, right? Faustus brings up several good points in his rant but then it goes downhill, "But I know when I'm not wanted." Holding his breathe the Eevee bursts from his hiding spot and stands stiffly as he watches the Phanteon vanish into thin air before him. Or, thick earth, as he melts into the ground. "But Koli!" But it is much too late and he is already gone. The eevee doesnt move, eyes wide.

Every strand of the females brown and cream fur is fluffed up with irritation to the point she should be a Jolteon. That voice makes her downed ears twitch. Though she is not facing him her voice is loud with her demand, "Eleroo! Come here." Her heart is beating like mad against her chest. That one act could make her look like an idiot in front of everyone or be the greatest thing she has ever said. Eleroo is still, wide eyed and finding it difficult to breathe. It was here. He was right! Slowly he creeps forward with shaky pawsteps until he is beside her and stands there for several moments before she finally turns. When her big blue eyes catch his Eleroo can no longer contain himself and lunges at her affectionately. "Eloise! He squeaks pushing her over.

For a few moments she allows him to nuzzle her with the most spirit he had had in a long time befor trashing. "You goob get off me, thats not my name anymore!" She presses a paw square in his forehead to push him away and the male knows that wasn't a good choice of action. Not her name? That didnt make sense! "But thats, thats your name.." She silences him with a swift "No," before getting to her paws, shaking her fur out and lightly pressing against him. "My name is Seek, now. Not that." Her voice is loud enough so everyone of the surrounding Pokemon can hear.

Staring toward Elo.. Seek's eyes Eleroo wants to say how much he missed her companionship and lead but holds his tongue. That is sap talk and there is no reason for that. Faustus was gone but Seek had appeared.. His insides were hurting knots from conflicting emotions. He didn't know what else to say now, there would be a time for them to catch up but that time was not now. To the side he see's the new voice belonged to a Miltank which he greets weakly, "Im Eleroo." Even though she would of already heard his name from the female Eevee.

Luca continued to float helplessly as she watched the heated conversation grew worse. Though the Milktank introduced herself as Sunshine, her mind was more focused on the Haunter that exploded at the ghost candid. Now that Luca thought about it, he seemed rather similar to those Eevees, was he some sort of new evolution? She pushed the thought away when the ghost replied on what seemed to be his farewell; "You have no right to judge the way I live--nor the right to decide where I can go, bro." He shrugged, letting silence fall into the group, "But I know when I'm not wanted." With that he faded into the earth, Luca unsure how to react. Did she even know him before all of this? If she did, wouldn't she be screaming for him to come back? Maybe it was best to stay silent in this situation.

However, her attention was soon taken by the two Eevees in what seemed to be a reunion. The Togetic smiled a bit at the scene, it must be nice to have a friend huh? She honestly had no one to depend on, and she was absolutely clueless on what was going on. The Haunter mentioned on surviving, was the world thrown into a mess where they now had to depend on survival skills? He even mentioned the betrayal of survivors, did something happen to him? Was Luca even suppose to know him? Nonetheless, from the reunion of Eevees, she caught on the names of Eleroo and Eloi- or rather Seek as she preferred. It saddened Luca a bit for her to change names, Elois was rather pretty. Though to be quite honest, the Happiness Pokemon found it ironic it would fit the rather crude-mouthed Eevee. Of course, she wasn't that bad mouthed; Luca is highly aware that she has good intentions.

In terms of introductions, what was left was just the Haunter and Luca. However, before she could speak, a voice flowing like water whispered into her ear "Can you hear me?" The Togetic's eyes went wide as she recognized this voice as the ghost candid from earlier. Didn't he disappear though? "The others can't hear me, nor see me. So tell me, what is your name?" She didn't understand the meaning of this, why hide himself from the others and go to her? Her heart pounded against her chest, she felt like she was bound under some sort of contract because of this secret, but at the same time, this could be rather helpful to her. Luca doesn't know what's going on, so perhaps it would be alright to ask him? However, she's currently in a crowd, she would look like a nutter if she suddenly talked to the ghost aloud. "M-my name is Luca," She said, introducing herself to the whole group including the ghost that whispered into her ear earlier, "I-I hope you treat me well..." A sudden pain hit her on her side as she said those words, as if her body knew something bad was going to happen. However, she brushed that off. It was better to deal with amnesia in a group, if she were alone, who knows what could happen?

Sunshine's expression faded a bit as the other pokemon yelled at each other. After they were done, the Eevee's had quarreled for a moment longer. Seriously, should the living be really so concerned with a new name or fighting each other when there were undead bastards around? But she supposed the two Eevee were youngin's. They reminded her an awful lot of the childrens she used to take care of back at the farm.... How she yearned to take care of the little ones of a group again. The Miltank smiled again as the more timid of the two Eevee introduced himself, and her grin grew as the Togetic introduced herself as well.

"Im Eleroo."
"M-my name is Luca, I-I hope you treat me well..."

Sunshine looked to the Togetic with friendly eyes. "Awh sugah, yer safe with us. Ah wouldn't in any way hurt ya 'r treat ya bad." She felt a sudden attachment towards the shy Eevee and the seemingly even more shy Togetic. The golden Miltank looked to the people who she had yet to learn the names of. The one who just disappeared was addressed as 'Faustus,' but she didn't suppose it would be of any more use since he had left. She looked over the others, then noticed she hadn't learned the name of the Haunter who just drove the dog creature away. Sunshine felt a bit unnerved, as this ghost looked... pretty scary. But Normal types weren't affected by ghosts, and she knew that; a Rollout would fuck shit up if she needed to fuck shit up. She decided that she would learn his name later if he introduced himself.

(OoC: @TK: Yeah, the posting is very... varied. It's just fine right now though. xD Thanks for the welcoming. <3
@Everyone: Sorry I posted so late, I've been really sick. Otherwise I would have jumped right on it. But here's my lame post. lol)

"M-my name is Luca. I-I hope you treat me well..." Faustus couldn't help but chuckle a little. Oh how cute. He mused, smiling as he watched the others converse. The female Eevee called herself 'Seek'. [color:d3e6=FF3333]What kind of name is "Seek"? He frowned a little. "Awh sugah, yer safe with us. Ah wouldn't in any way hurt ya 'r treat ya bad." He frowned even more, ears flicking at the voice. Says the stranger...what the hell's with the accent anyways? She sounds like she worked a farm for her whole life...wouldn't be surprised if she did.

Personal opinions aside, he sighed a little. "Awfully odd group of misfits we got here..." he mumbled, looking at the Togetic. He stared at the female, analyzing her thoroughly. "So, how come you ended up here in this dump? Got lost?"

Seek fluffed up her fur so it would fall back down neat and tidy once more. I'll wash up in a bit. She had been interrupted in the middle of her bath and no longer had a chance with all these Pokemon about conversing. Fantastic. "M-my name is Luca," She turned her blue eyes to the other Normal type. Its voice was weak with no command in it, but at least her name was normal. "I-I hope you treat me well..." The Eevee snickers to herself. Oh yes, thats exactly what you say during introductions! Her thick fluffy tail swishes for a moment behind here while the bright Miltank chimes in. "Awh sugah, yer safe with us. Ah wouldn't in any way hurt ya 'r treat ya bad."

Her joy is quickly cut off to be replaced with a groan. She was going to get annoying. Fast. Whatever. The kit turned to her friend, "Now, Eleroo, tell me," He had been all she wanted since they had been separated but now that they were back together she had another. "That 'friend' of yours that ditched us, what was he?" The male blinks his sore eyes and shakes his head. "I, dont know." He can not recall Faustus ever saying his species or anyone else saying it. The fact he fazed through a wall and could float told the child he was most likely a Ghost type but that didn't help him at all. "I dont think he ever said." Or had he just forgotten?

Rolling her blue eyes Seek's ears twitched with irritation. "Of course you dont. She sighed heavily knowing that like usual he was little use to her. Eleroo shies away from her disappointment while the female looks to those in the sky. "Ether of you know what he was?" Peaking his head up as well Eleroo can see Xander and Luca. Of the two the Huanter probably knew what he was. You were together when I arrived.

(OoC: Skip. I have nothing to go on, as Xander is not here. Sunshine really has nothing to say, no one addressed her.)
