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.

[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.]

[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.]
