Monday, Week Six. Zack to Recette

[zackthekiller]

[Ping! Recette gets a private message from Zack late Monday morning.]

Hey, Recette. It's Zack.

I found another pokemon in the shop. Probably Eliza's.

Come get it.

[Recette opens the door to her room slightly to check who it is, and once she see's it's Zack open's it completely.]

Welcome to my room!

[ She probably doesn't have as much stuff as you, but she has a considerable amount of things scattered around. Notes bearing the descriptions of each item are haphazardly stuck onto each item. Sans the now hidden Kiss note of course. Though being jammed under her bed where Dragon's more or less made his lair probably isn't the best spot. Slinky opens an eye to look at who's at the door and oh hey it's bandage dude. The Tepig cares for all of five seconds before going back to trying to sleep on the end of the bed.]

[zackthekiller]

[Yup, this is a Zack.]

[He's followed in by Crown, who makes little deerling noises in greeting.]

[Zack hands the pokeball over to Recette.] Here you go, kid. Good luck breaking the news to whatever's in this thing.

[buylowsellhigh]

Heya Crown!

[Crown's getting petted now. Dragon pokes his head out from under the bed to see who it is, and wanders over to greet the two. Slinky.... has the decency to acknowledge Zack at least, but is paying more attention to Crown and the pokeball he has.]

Ah... thanks.

[Recette fiddles with Pokeball looking like she has something to say, but decides to put it off to let the pokemon out.
It's a Pidgey.]

Hello?

[Blade... does not seem happy when he realizes that's not Eliza who sent him out.. and promptly starts flapping his wings as he uses Agility.]

W-wait wait wait wait-

[Thankfully another Slinky situation is avoided, as Slinky hops off the bed to diffuse the situation. Dragon pokes his head out from under the bed to see whats going on.]

[zackthekiller]

[Awh yeah. Pets. Do you have any foods, though? Because Crown would love you forever if you did.]

No prob.

[Okay, Zack has never seen a live pidgey before in his life and- HOLY FUCK IT'S ANGRY!]

Gah! HEY! WE'RE NOT GOING TO HURT YOU OR ANYTHING!

[Crown joins in the pokemon pep talk. The last thing we need is Eliza's friends getting torn up by a bird.]

[buylowsellhigh]

[Blade hesitates at both Crown AND Slinky stepping in for these people. After a tense moment he stops attacking, or well, preparing to.]

Why does this happen every time I send one out?

[What is her luck???]

[zackthekiller]

Uh... Maybe because they were expecting Eliza?

[Great, now they have to explain what happened to her.]

[buylowsellhigh]

[Blade cocks his head at the mention of Eliza's name.]

Yeah... that makes sense.

[Time to do some more soul-crushing explaining. Recette crouches down to get on Blade's level.]

So um... I... this isn't really easy to break to you even after doing it once already, but... Eliza is dead.

[Blade freezes at this and looks to Slinky and Crown for confirmation. Slinky looks away but offers an affirming noise.]

[zackthekiller]

Yeah... We tried to find her killer, but...

[Crown nods and hangs his head.]
