46th Transformation [drawpad | backdated to the 3rd]

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy is no stranger to waking up in different cities after the bi-annual crazy weekends. But this is the first time he's woken up in the middle of the woods. At least he's got Henry here with him! And after discovering that the 'gears are useless except for the drawpad, they've got a message to send out. Henry gets the stylus first.]








[And it's at this point that Envy takes over.]







--ACTION--

[With all the pictures sent out, Envy looks around. Nothing but trees as far as he can see, and a lake full of pixelated Gyarados somewhere to the east. He doesn't even know where they are...it might be that Lake of Rage place on the map, but without the GPS he doesn't know if it actually is. There might be a hundred lakes in the middle of nowhere, for all he knows. He turns to Henry.]

Let's keep moving, before those things come after us again.

[WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED THAT BIDOOF COULD BE SO SCARY? They weren't hard to beat in a battle, but there were way too damn many of them around here.]

Comments

Yeah...I almost found him--I found the hole h'd gone down. But when I jumped down it, I wound up in Johto.

_{[He wasn't too keen on going right back to that scene after a couple years of easy living in happy shiny pokemans land.]}

[action]

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy wouldn't blame him for not wanting to go back to that.]

Well if he ever shows up here, let me know. If he wants to go after you, he'll have to go through me first.

[action]

[no_ufo_ending]

If he shows up here, I'll kill him. I don't care if we can't die here. I'll find a way.

[action 1/2]

[exeggutorhead]

[That catches Envy by surprise, and it shows.]

[action 2/2]

[exeggutorhead]

[But that surprise is followed up by a very approving look, and a nod. +5 respect points for Henry.]

If there's one thing I know, it's that anything can be killed. There's always a way.

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Henry doesn't meet Envy's eyes. Or really comment on the subject. He doesn't know he's won some brownie points, he just knows what he has to do or some horrible deathgod will come and destroy the world and then there will be no more cereal.]}

Do you think this place is starting to fall apart?

[exeggutorhead]

[The change of subject catches Envy off guard, but it only takes him a second to catch on. After all, they've been dealing with the glitches all day.]

Because of everything screwing up?

[He considers it.]

If it is, it started a long time ago. This kind of thing happened about a month after I got here, except it was worse. Everything...the whole world went dark and blocky that time. [He doesn't know the word for pixels.]

[Ahead of them, the woods open and the lake shore finally comes into view; they're separated from it by what's practically a marsh, with smaller trees sprouting here and there. Lucky whines and lifts his feet high to keep them out of the mud as much as he can.]

[no_ufo_ending]

Yeah...that's why. I wonder if maybe he does show up and this place is all...weird. He really could be killed.

_{[As he explained, he nodded solumly. He'd been told the horrors of the Missing No days. It was long before his time, several long Halloweens ago. Henry tenses up when they come upon the marsh. It was probably full of terrible mud people.]}

Around...or through?

[exeggutorhead]

If he showed up and got to keep his powers, I have some questions for him before you kill him.

[Because that would just. Not be fair.]

Arou...

[Envy trails off mid-word as a loud chattering, like dozens of buck-teeth clacking together, sounds from the undergrowth behind them. And to the left. And to the right.]

Or through. Yes. Through. Let's go!

[no_ufo_ending]

<sub>[Henry shakes his head. He didn't want anybody to get close enough to Walter to ask him ANYTHING.]

[He's unable to voice this because he's cut off by hellish chattering. He looks over his shoulder with wide eyes.]</sub>

Okay! Through! Through, FruitLoops! Go, boy!
