the opposite of amnesia. [misson]

[EVENT]

a quiet buzz from the loudspeaker...another...white noise is all that can be heard, until a harsh and static-filled message comes on:

"there are people coming...liza, there's an emergency exit in the back. i need to leave, or else they'll--" again, it goes silent.

the low growl turns into a snarl, as a zangoose reveals itself.

zangoose uses swords dance!
zangoose uses night slash on chandelure!

it guards the door diligently.

chatot is hit by ancientpower
chatot faints.

suddenly, the claydol is the victor and left isolated in the midst of a sandstorm and madness- bells ringing, lights flashing on and off in strobe. the sound of footsteps outside can be heard. a few feet away, there rests a small shelf, and although many items have broken in the storm, a single pistol remains.

tate & liza

[tate & liza]

honestly? liza hadn't expected margaret to be of much use, once the doors closed behind her. she ignores the message, focused instead on the zangoose before them. the chandelure deftly dodges the slash, glowing ominously.

chandelure dodges night slash
chandelure uses inferno ... on the computers. there's a hiss that fills the room, accompanied the acidic smell of burning as the ghost pokemon destroys the machinery.

the dark haze concealing her identity is gone, now, but in its place is a thick, acrid smoke. liza pulls her shirt up to cover half of her face, partly as a pseudo-mask and partly as a barrier between her lungs and the smoke.

on the other hand, now that the chatot is down, liza ducks behind a desk and ventures back into libra's mind. one of their many eyes lands on the shelf, and the claydol uses its not-insignificant power to bring the contents of the shelf toward it.

shards of glass and pieces of metal hover in the air, as if suspended from a string, and liza merely gives a small nudge with her mind before the pistol is sandwiched between libra's main body and one of its arms.

claydol uses teleport

the moment the levitating pokemon warps beside her, liza grabs the gun and -- hesitates.

(this isn't what she's supposed to do. this isn't what she wants to do.)

(it's what she must do.)

she fires at the zangoose, emptying the magazine in desperation, and uses it as an opportunity to return her chandelure to his pokeball before grabbing hold of her claydol, hard drive clenched in her other hand.

claydol uses teleport. again.

once libra is back in its pokeball, liza wastes no time in releasing her xatu once they're outside on the edge of a craggy cliff overlooking the entrance to meteor falls. she tucks the drive into her clothing, ignoring the press of metal against her sensitive flesh, and the pair take off into the sky.

EVENT

(i would have made this thread longer, but i don't actually see why liza would stick around a..hah.)

[EVENT]

...

margaret arrives inside with a vileplume at her side. a last attempt to try and disable the alarms. the smoke overtakes her and the slow burning of the technology in the laboratory clogs her lungs. and when the wreckage sections her off, margaret is left alone, fire slowly creeping towards her.

all she can hear is a zangoose growling and the crackling of fire.
