ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Tangent: -looks around the room, not quite sure what to say-

Basket: -sticks her neck into the obsidian door, unable to see in the darkness-

<Hello?>

-Has finally reached the room-

-Notices that everyone except Crewe is standing around with their eyes closed with a hand on Tagg-

-Sighs, and wonders if concentration will actually help with my current state of tiredness-

Crewe chuckles a little, shaking her head.

"Oh, I doubt you can do that, Tagg."

Silent thinks for a moment.

"Yeah, Crewe and now that I mention it perhaps if we go to her room... Luke, do you know where it is?"

I'm...sure I'll get used to it, somewhere down the line. Well if it's any consolation so we're not burning...so much daylight...I suppose, my name is Jeremy.

Nice to meet you. Sorry it couldn't be under better, or at least more sensible, circumstances.

Rex: U-umm...hi, Crewe...

-Walks over to Crewe-

Come on, we've been through worse things than this before.

-Grabs Crewe's arm-

We'll be able to get through this, together.

Cynical!Tagg: What kind of sentimental drivel is that?

"Yeah, it's this way, come on."

-I lead Katie to Crewe's room, finding the door slightly a-jar.-

"Hope we're not too late..." *Pushes the door open.* "Hey guys, what's going-"

-I stop upon seeing parctically everyone in the group lying on the floor, unconscious.-

"O_O"

Stratus: <Oh no...>

Woolly: <What's happened?!>

Guardé: <This doesn't look good...>

Chord: *To Comet.* <You can't tell me that this isn't weird.>

Comet: <It is a bit...Not anything I'm not used to, though.>

Chord: <...What.>

Crewe turns to Rex, smiling a little.

"Hi, Rex... You seem to have dragged most of the gang in here, Tagg. ... Plus one."

She startles as Tagg grabs her arm, scrambling to her feet. Minerva takes a step forward as if to stop him, then halts. Battler and Trainer exchange worried looks.

"Please let go," she says after a pause, taking a deep breath.

Don't lose your temper. Not again. Not here. This place'll completely collapse if you do...

A scuffling sound greets Basket from inside the room, and the eyes reappear briefly before disappearing again.

"Out of sight," a soft voice tells her.

Katie: -looks around- Wha-? -spots Pentigan, and goes over to ask him what's going on-

-to Jeremy- Yeah, You'll get used to it. Hopefully.

Maekrite -comes by the door — <What happened here?> — looks around, sniffs — <This is so weird...>

"Uhm... you really mean the not that weird part, Comet?" Silent asks, sweatdropping.

Silent frowns at Pentigan as he sees Katie go ask him, then turns to Luke.

"Anybody mentioned anything to you, guys?"

Helios: -Notices everyone- <Oh hey guys!>

-Tilts head-

<What's going on?>

Limna: -Starts explaining-

Crewe's Mindscape

-Lets go-

Cynical!Tagg: You should know better than that, dumbass. We're not a fan of being touched either.

Rex: *smiles back, feeling a little more at ease*

You entering very soon, yes Pentigan?

Basket: -wanders further in- <Out of sight? Me or you?>

Crewe takes a step back, nearly falling as she steps on an Ultra ball.

"Thank you."

She hesitates, glancing at her aspects.

"Please... I think Minerva probably already said this, but you should go."

There are more shuffling sounds from inside the room.

"Told to stay out of sight."

Basket: <Poor girl...>

-Basket drops a Pecha Berry into the darkness-

Nope. But my best guess is that Tagg has used some Aura mumbo-jumbo to invade Crewe's mindscape.

Pentigan, we'll need you in the mindscape network very soon...

-looks around, a bit unsettled by the Mindscape-

This is so weird...we're actually in someone's head.

Is Pryce in here?

-Looks at the door-

What's behind that door?

Cynical!Tagg: Probably something evil, nothing's good about ominous black doors.

<Has decided to no longer question how all of this is possible and simply assumes it's some kind of hallucination>

So, I'm in someone's mind and we're going to help her. Dare I ask...how?

-All of us listen to Helios explain.-

Stratus: <...Mindscape?> *Looks confused.* <Huh?>

Chord: <Pfft! Sounds like a load of old rubbish to me.>

Woolly: <Is something like that even possible?>

Comet: <Oh, it is.>

-All of us turn to Comet.-

"Huh? You know about this?"

Comet: *Nods.* <You see, a Mindscape is manifestation of all of your innermost thoughts, and is populated with manifestations of your personality.>

Guardé: <Manifestations? What are those?>

Comet: <Well...think of it as if part of you personality lived as a seperate human or Pokémon from you, like say...Chord's mean streak.>

Chord: <HEY!>

Comet: <Sorry. First thing I could come up with.>

Chord: *Crosses legs.* <Hmph.>

"So...everyone's gone into Crewe's mindscape to help her deal with the problems she's been having?"

Comet: <That's what I've been told. Hopefully they shouldn't have too much trouble finding the source of the problem, then tend to be hard to miss.>

Stratus: <Oh! So they should be out soon...I hope.>

There's a brief silence inside the dark room, then suddenly the brown eyes appear right in front of Basket, looking at her curiously. Suddenly they disappear and a brief pressure encloses around Basket's neck as small arms give her a brief, awkward hug. Then there are more scuffling sounds and the Pecha berry disappears.

Crewe glances at Anom. "Not that I know of, but apparently there's some weird stuff down the right side of the hall."

Battler and Trainer exchange glances and shudder at this, but make no noise.

Crewe turns back to Tagg.

"Nothing anyone would recognize as evil."

"More like adorable..."

"Shut up, Trainer!"
