Pokemaids XXVI.5

[23:42]	GMOwen	INTRO: It is some vague number of days after the totally not terrorist actions of our heroes. However, these actions have seemed to have made precisely no impact on the world at large! Whatever could this mean for the GLORIOUS REVOLUTION?
[23:42]	GMOwen	INTRO: Probably not all that much in the long run since that revolution business hasn't really started either.
[23:44]	GMOwen	Also it is super-early morning right now in an nondescript portion of the Poke-world, far away from the truck "accident" so no one is any the wiser.  Like, 3 AM early.  Isn't that still night?
[23:45]	MissDri	[Sopmething like that.]
[23:46]	GMOwen	[Sopthing indeed!]
[23:46]	Marina	is busy THINKING! She is a smart woman who thinks of great things!
[23:47]	Marina	is currently thinking because she can't sleep. She thinks of the GLORIOUS REVOLUTION. It's not very glorious...
[23:47]	MissD	Hehe~ You're still up too?
[23:47]	MissD	floats behind Marina.
[23:48]	GMOwen	[The moon is waxing past its half-crescent. Luminous, not not quite bright.]
[23:49]	Marina	"Oh, woah, you again. Hey kid."
[23:49]	Marina	flicks Missy's hair playfully.
[23:50]	MissD	eye's glow red in contrast to her dark body during this time at night, it's almost mesmerizing to people who've not seen one before.
[23:51]	Marina	"Yeah, no. Ain't been sleepin' much these days. Hangin' around everyone's got me all wound tight I guess."
[23:52]	MissD	Aww... I can help you sleep you know~
[23:52]	Marina	"Heh, yeah, bet you'd looove that if I'd let ya, you little minx."
[23:53]	Marina	"I'm onto you ghosts, you know; I'm sharp! Can't pull one over on me!"
[23:53]	Marina	is CONFIDENCE!
[23:53]	MissD	ehh?... I was just going to use hypnosis...
[23:53]	MissD	tilt's her head in a slight confusion.
[23:56]	Marina	"Well, yeah, but that's just what they SAY."
[23:56]	MissD	Wellll...~...
[23:56]	MissD	What did you expect us ghosts to do~?
[23:57]	Marina	"I dunno. Ghost stuff."
[23:58]	Marina	dismisses the details.
[23:58]	MissD	Like taking over your body~?
[23:58]	MissD	puts both of her hands on Marina's shoulder, as if t she was going to do something.
[23:59]	Marina	actually gets rather testy and slaps her away before putting some distance between them.
[23:59]	MissD	Awww.
[23:59]	Marina	"Don't."
[23:59]	MissD	frowns but that's barely visible during these wee hours.
[23:59]	Marina	actually sounds serious.
[00:01]	Marina	stops sounding serious again.
[00:01]	Marina	"Oh, gee, sorry 'bout that. Just... Ahh, never mind. Long story."
[00:01]	MissD	hmmm.. ok~
[00:01]	MissD	I won't ask.
[00:02]	MissD	Well... where ~are~ the others anywho?
[00:02]	Marina	is fine with that. She doesn't ask about Missy's "long stories" either.
[00:03]	Marina	"Sleepin' or something like that. They're back there, don't worry, they're big girls."
[00:05]	MissD	B-but I'm the big sister.....I think?.. they sorta look up to me.
[00:05]	Marina	shrugs.
[00:06]	Marina	"Girl I ain't keepin' track of that, I ain't got NO clue who's supposed to be who with us."
[00:06]	Marina	"All I do is say, hey let's do that, and they're like, okay cool."
[00:08]	MissD	Anyway~..up for a walk?
[00:08]	Marina	"Okay. Cool."
[00:10]	MissD	Say...
[00:10]	MissD	Ever thought about being a ghost?
[00:10]	Marina	just this very second now thinks abut being a ghost.
[00:11]	Marina	"Mmm..."
[00:12]	Marina	"Nah. Ain't got time to die. Maybe some other day."
[00:13]	MissD	But what if you're already dead?
[00:14]	Marina	"Well then... I guess I won't have to think about it then, 'cause I'll already be dead."
[00:14]	Marina	"I mean, that's what you do when you die, right?"
[00:14]	MissD	I think?~
[00:14]	MissD	It's been so long~
[00:17]	Marina	"Meh, doesn't matter to me. Got too much living to do still."
[00:17]	MissD	Eh.. it's not so bad being dead you know~?
[00:18]	Marina	"Nope."
[00:18]	Marina	does not in fact know whether or not it's so bad!
[00:20]	MissD	Well I can~
[00:20]	MissD	You don't really get hungry~ Or need to sleep! ...though.
[00:20]	MissD	stops floating for a moment and thinks about it..
[00:21]	MissD	...I still sleep anyway because it's such a haaaardd habit to break.
[00:23]	Marina	"Bet it's cause you hang out with all us not dead people all the time."
[00:23]	Marina	"We're rubbin' off on you or somethin'."
[00:25]	Marina	looks up at the moon and wonders if she really SHOULD be sleeping more... She always feels like sleeping is a waste of time.
[00:25]	MissD	giggles.
[00:25]	MissD	Only one thing I rub off~
[00:26]	MissD	Oooh.. I need to stop that.. I left that place a long time agoo... darn it.
[00:27]	Marina	"Ehh, the past is only as bad as you make it, or somethin' like that."
[00:28]	Marina	"Don't believe it myself, but... ahh, I dunno, maybe you will."
[00:29]	MissD	That's true...huh...
[00:30]	Marina	needs to stop thinking about the past, because it sucks! The present is full of opportunity!
[00:30]	Marina	goes back to thinking about good ways to stick it to the man.
[00:32]	MissD	[As MissD travels through the forest with Marina they past a thick growth sprawling away and around shaping up what seems to be a "Forest tunnel" of sorts It gets hard to see and traverse through. MissD turns back to look at Marina, her eyes still glowing bright red.]
[00:33]	Marina	can't see hardly anything with her sunglasses on, but her sunglasses make her think better! Or something.
[00:35]	MissD	Heree~
[00:35]	MissD	grabs Marina's hand.
[00:35]	MissD	I'll guide~
[00:36]	Marina	nods and goes back to thinking out loud a little.
[00:36]	Marina	"Okaaay, so, truck job, kinda nobody cared."
[00:37]	MissD	You know...
[00:37]	MissD	We could of sold those pokeballs for money...
[00:37]	MissD	thinks about as if it was some bad hindsight.
[00:38]	Marina	bops Missy on the head.
[00:38]	Marina	"No, stupid, cause then they just USE 'em!"
[00:39]	Marina	"Ahh, man, this revolution stuff is tougher than I thought..."
[00:39]	MissD	Oww...
[00:40]	MissD	[Marina felt something soft and felt-like.. it wasn't on MissD before... right?]
[00:41]	Marina	pays such a thing no mind for now; she's too annoyed at the thought of giving Pokeballs back to THE MAN.
[00:42]	Marina	"You got any good ideas, Missy? Somethin' that'll really make them humans get the big picture?"
[00:42]	MissD	[As they reach near the end of the tunnel, Marina may have notice that it might not be MissD she's walking next to and holding her hand anymore. The silhouette is completely different now.]
[00:42]	MissD	Hmmm...blow up a building~?
[00:43]	Marina	"Ehh... dunno..."
[00:43]	Marina	"Wait... dang it, are you behind me or in front of me?"
[00:44]	Marina	squints through her glasses and is a little confused.
[00:44]	MissD	...I'm in front of you... why?~
[00:44]	Marina	"Ahh hell, hang on..."
[00:45]	Marina	takes her glasses off to get a better look.
[00:46]	Marina	nods. Yup. Another random spook. Man, what is UP with all these random spooks all the time?
[00:46]	MissD	Ghost got your tongue~?
[00:47]	Marina	"Yeah, lemme take care 'o that."
[00:48]	Marina	grips the hand of the "random spook" that snuck in between Missy and herself and ICE PUNCHES that loser outta here!
[00:49]	MissD	is sent flying with a loud kyahhh!~ and pomf noise as she lands on some branches near by.
[00:50]	MissD	Hey! What the hell was that for you idiot?
[00:50]	Marina	dusts her hands off. That sure was easy.
[00:51]	Marina	"Ahh, sorry bout the noise. Some ghosty thing snuck up between us. I got 'em though."
[00:51]	Marina	"Wait... and dang it, did you go invisible or something on me?"
[00:51]	Marina	looks around. Where'd Missy go?
[00:52]	Marina	"Thought you said you were in front of me."
[00:52]	MissD	No..
[00:52]	MissD	I'm right here.
[00:52]	MissD	waves.
[00:52]	Marina	"Ehh? Why're you over there?"
[00:53]	Marina	still can't see her properly yet.
[00:53]	MissD	Uhm.. because you punched me?
[00:54]	Marina	"No, I told you, that was some punk ghost trying to be funny. Unless I punched it your way?"
[00:55]	Marina	rubs her eyes. Maybe she's a little sleepier than she thought...
[00:55]	MissD	No no.. I was pretty sure that Ice Punch belonged to you..
[00:55]	MissD	[They finally get out into the open and its now a full moonlit night/morning.. kinda odd really...]
[00:56]	Marina	"Wait... what now? That was you? That SO wasn't you."
[00:58]	MissD	...what are you so surprised about?...
[00:58]	MissD	I'm me... I thought I wasm e..
[00:58]	Marina	keeps taking her sunglasses on and off. This moonlight is really messing with things...
[00:58]	MissD	Unless I wasn't me.. and then the other me was me taking over me... while being me at the time.
[00:59]	Marina	"Ahhh dude, this is getting weird... So I punched a DIFFERENT you?"
[01:00]	Marina	"Like, how many yous are there? Is that one you, or is it a different you?"
[01:00]	MissD	No no.. me is me.
[01:00]	Marina	points to Missy.
[01:00]	MissD	I don't see why Me would be any different..
[01:01]	Marina	"Cause I'm looking at you right now, and, like, it's not you."
[01:03]	MissD	...well.. do I?
[01:03]	MissD	I feel the same..
[01:03]	MissD	looks at herself, it looks the same.. to her at least.
[01:04]	Marina	snaps her fingers.
[01:04]	Marina	"That's it, it's the hat!"
[01:04]	MissD	Eh?.. what hat?
[01:05]	MissD	looks up, she doesn't see a hat.
[01:06]	Marina	"No, the hat that the other-you is wearing."
[01:06]	Marina	"Unless, but wait... Who's other-you again?"
[01:06]	MissD	What do you mean?...
[01:07]	Marina	rubs her forehead.
[01:07]	Marina	"Nwwahhh, hang on..."
[01:08]	Marina	walks over to a nearby stream and plunges her head into the ice-cold water.
[01:08]	Marina	walks back, head slightly clearer.
[01:08]	MissD	...is it that hot out here?...
[01:08]	Marina	"Okay, thinking straight now."
[01:09]	Marina	"You... still look different. Yeah, okay, I'm not seein' things."
[01:10]	Marina	"Ummm... Here, do this:"
[01:10]	MissD	..ok?
[01:10]	Marina	pats the top of her own head.
[01:10]	MissD	...ohh.
[01:10]	MissD	does so.
[01:11]	MissD	feels something nice and soft.. oooh.. she gropes it a few time, giggling in the process.
[01:11]	MissD	Hehe.. it is wait.. wait.. I couldn't have....
[01:12]	Marina	"Yeah, see? Thought I was seein' things at first."
[01:13]	MissD	...where's that stream you dipped your head at?..
[01:13]	MissD	I wanna see for myself.
[01:14]	Marina	"Just follow the wet footprints; it's around."
[01:15]	MissD	follows, and sees the stream in a few moment.. she looks down at the slow flowing stream.. a moment of silence hits her then a gleeful squee.
[01:15]	MissD	Hiiiiiiieeeeee!!!!!
[01:16]	Marina	just sits down for a bit. Clear head or not she's still confused.
[01:16]	Marina	"Ehh? Whazzat?"
[01:17]	MissD	....oh... so.. that's what that stone was...hehehe~
[01:19]	Marina	follows the wet footprints; what's she so excited about?
[01:22]	MissD	I evolved! hehehe~
[01:22]	MissD	turns around, joyful of course at her new change.
[01:23]	Marina	scratches her head.
[01:23]	Marina	"Wait, but don't... I thought Mis... Huh?"
[01:24]	Marina	is back to being confused and questioning reality again.
[01:24]	MissD	Yeah!... wait.. you didn't know we can evolve~?
[01:25]	MissD	doesn't look that much different other than she wears a witch's hat and has an odd and skimpy outfit.
[01:27]	Marina	"Well... Missi's sure weren't evolving back when I was on the Circuit, I know that much."
[01:28]	Marina	"Unless y'all learned in the last... however many years it's been?"
[01:28]	Marina	"Ten, fifteen? I forget..."
[01:29]	MissD	..Oh.. about two years back when they f--oo.. so.. thats why my employer wanted me to.. "Change"...
[01:30]	Marina	"Dang... Must be getting old."
[01:31]	MissD	I wouldn't worry about it too much.
[01:32]	Marina	sighs.
[01:33]	Marina	"Kids these days..."
[01:34]	MissD	hugs Marina, ..wait.. did MissD gain some size too~?
[01:36]	Marina	hugs back. Feels like some size, yeah~
[01:36]	Marina	"Heh... One less kid now, I guess~"
[01:36]	MissD	Ehh.. I still feel the same~
[01:37]	MissD	Anyway~.. let's get back before the others realized that we're gone.
[01:38]	Marina	looks at her wat-POKEMANS DON'T WEAR WATCHES.
[01:38]	Marina	"It's like four in the morning. I don't think that's a problem."
[01:40]	MissD	WEll then.. what do you wanna do now~?
[01:40]	Marina	readjusts her sunglasses.
[01:41]	Marina	"Something that doesn't involve me questioning my eyeballs."
[01:41]	Marina	"Because that was really trippy."
[01:42]	MissD	hmm.... we could always spook some humans~
[01:43]	Marina	:|
[01:43]	Marina	"You, like, ALWAYS say that, Missy."
[01:44]	MissD	Ok..
[01:44]	MissD	We can kill them then.
[01:44]	MissD	Is that better~?
[01:45]	Marina	:|
[01:46]	Marina	"I'm, ahh, just gonna go to bed. Think I've been burning the candle too short for the last ever."
[01:47]	MissD	Ok~
[01:47]	MissD	clings on to Marina.
[01:47]	MissD	Onward my trusty steed~
[01:48]	Marina	flops down on her stomach and wiggles into her shell (however that works). Yaay steed!
