topoftheclassKeiko was getting out of the pool when it happened. Her friends still swimming start choking their bodies turning gross shades of purple. Yusuke manages to pull himself halfway out of the pool and reaches for her. Scared more than anything else she presses back against the wall. Seeing for the first time a small humanoid creature pressed against his back. The creature grins at her and seems to start sinking into his skin. He moans in agony and she runs for the locker room.
Once inside she searches for a place to hide. Picking a shower stall she crouches down in the corner hoping that whatever they are they’ll just leave her alone. The door slams open and wheezing echoes off the ceramic tiled walls. The girl pulls her legs tight to her chest and tries to manage her breathing.
In the end, it doesn’t seem to matter as the curtain is ripped aside. Before her stands the very boy that begged for her help. Screaming she dodges around his arms and runs, searching for a way out. He corners her against a marble counter and he grins proudly, like he’d just broke the record for the 200m Freestyle medley. Gripping the counter, her knuckles white from the force as she cowers hoping that this small amount of purchase will keep him from dragging her away.
The monster laughs and lunges for her and she kicks out at it and it catches one of her ankles in its slimmy grip and she watches in horror as her skin starts taking on that same purple color, the discoloration crawling up her calf as he reaches for her shoulder. She kicks at him again with her free leg and tries to wrench the other free, but doesn’t succeed.
Kurama and Cutie seem to come from nowhere tackling the monster. Her leg drops but her skin is still changing.
[Keiko wakes with a start. Her pokémon are hovering at the foot of her bed as they have each night since the nightmares began. She isn't amused and less so knowing she won't be going back to sleep anytime soon. Apparently her hopes were misplaced the other night.
Moments later two texts go out.]
This is becoming a repetitive question but, is anyone awake?
Anyone in Goldenrod awake and hungry? I'd be happy to make some snacks to help pass time.

Date: 2013-10-18 02:44 am (UTC)I didn't think anyone else would be up.
[She pauses a moment a can of broth in her hand as she works out the next part. The can goes back into the cabinet as she speaks.]
Couldn't sleep?

Hey, can you had me the vanilla from the cabinet?

How long have you been up?

Eh... Hasn't been too long, I don't think. You're makin' snacks? Want help? Shizuru's said I'm pretty bad at cookin' but I sure can help you eat 'em.

Date: 2013-10-19 01:13 pm (UTC)It's a good thing he'd decided against smashing his 'Gear, because as it turns out, the person who sent out the text is Keiko, who also appears to be awake and looking for someone to talk to. Yusuke stares at the screen for a long moment, then sets the 'Gear aside and clambers out of bed to pull some jeans on. He has a feeling that half of everybody they know would give him shit for being so quick to go to her, but after waking up at Goddammit AM from a very unsettling dream where his Infernape turned into Sensui and then snapped his fucking neck, he doesn't much care what anyone would say or think about him for seeking out the company of the person he
has the dokis fortrusts most. His reservoir of fucks has been depleted; there are no fucks to be given here. Everybody can now feel free to form a line to kiss his ass.Once he's decent, Yusuke heads downstairs to the second floor of the Fighting Studio, with Hana the Mightyena groggily but ever-so-loyally following along on his heels. She's the first to enter the room when they reach the kitchen, trotting up to Keiko to say hello with perked ears and a gently wagging tail; Yusuke, on the other hand, pauses in the doorway, where he stands there squinting against the light in the kitchen and rubbing his eyes with the back of his hand. If his wrinkled shirt and his messy mop of hair aren't enough to tip her off to the fact that he hasn't been awake for terribly long, the thick, hoarse quality of his voice probably will.]
Hey.
Rough night?
Re: action;
Date: 2013-10-24 01:32 am (UTC)She's scared. What if the monster's still there, peeking over his shoulderdespite once more despite being awake? She can't face that, the possibility that her best friend is a drooling monster intent to finish his job, it sends shivers racing down her spine. Kneeling down she buries her face in Hana's shoulder buying another minute. When she finally looks up there's a tension in her expression that he probably isn't too familiar with where Keiko is concerned. She gives him a visual once over, searching for the slithering parasite. The fact that she can't see it only slightly eases her mind.]
Yeah. I had the weirdest dream.
Could you uh turn around for a moment I need to check something.
[Of course by weird she means terrifying. It isn't everyday you dream about parasitic demons turning your friends into monsters bent on killing you. Logically, she knew this was all just subconscious worries and scares playing out in one hell of a brutal whammy, but she couldn't quite quiet the voice that was telling her to make sure she was in the waking world. That the demons weren't playing a cruel game with her to make the torment last longer. Which was why she was going to poke him and see if he turned purple. It was a brilliantly stupid plan but the only one she could come up with considering how messed up her sleeping habits were of late.]
