    The Mute and The Quiet

    “One of the reasons I came back up is because I was hungry, and I still don’t know where the best places to eat are. I don’t have… a lot of money, but I do have enough, I think.”

    Natasha nodded in understanding and gave a soft smile. She put a finger to her temple and closed her eyes, giving an exaggerated but clear symbol for "I'm thinking". Then she opened her eyes and nodded. Melissa would notice her eyes seemed to be sparkling with a sudden childish excitement. Natasha then typed away on her watch, having to restart a few times because of her haste, before showing Melissa a message.

    "There is a newer place I have wanted to try. Will you go with me?"

    Natasha then led Melissa over to a taxi and, after some trouble, set the location for them. There was a short trip where Natasha was, as always, silent but she kept giving Melissa an occasional look as though trying to let her know it was okay to speak if she wanted.

    Eventually they reached their destination. A restaurant called "Eating For Two". As they approached it Natasha pointed out a sign near the door that seemed to establish some "rules" for the place.

    Customers must come in a least a pair
    Customers must each order at least one item
    No refund and no take home boxes
    Serious eaters only

    If Melissa looked towards Natasha she would see a determined, and excited, look on her face. She looked over to Melissa and gave a firm nod before stepping inside.

    The interior was softly lit but seemed rather cozy. All the tables had cushioned chairs in front of them and each of the tables were spaced out with plenty of room between them. They only saw one other duo there but they were at the far end and it was hard to make out what they were eating. Though even a brief glance could tell them that there was a lot of food between them.

    An employee approached them and smiled widely. "Ah, Natasha yes? I see you got someone to come with you this time, very good. Sit wherever you would like someone will be with you shortly." They then looked at Melissa and she could have sworn they had a doubtful expression before they turned and walked off towards what was presumably the kitchen.

    Fen and Kelsey One-Two Punch

    "Thank you for the match."

    Adonis seemed to be quite literally wobbling as he raised a fist up in the air towards Fen. "No problem....I went easy on you this time after all....next time I'll...I'll..." then he toppled over. A couple other boxers came into the ring and dragged him off towards a bench before approaching the ring again. Clearly wanting to use it next.

    Kelsey gestured at Fen to follow her out of the ring. "Glad you liked it! Yeah it's pretty fun to knock that guy around isn't it?" She paused. "Well I guess you mean in general, not that. But gotta admit he's a lot more fun to hit than a punching bag."

    She stretched a bit before looking around. "It's a pretty slow day here. Wasn't any events planned or anything so we sorta have the run of things. If you wanna get back into the ring in a bit, or try something else out, you just let me know okay?"

    Kelsey seemed to think something over then, "if you wanna leave too that's fine. Just make sure to hit the shower first....Not that I'm saying you smell or anything, you smell just fine! I, uh, assume that is." She gave an awkward laugh.

    youtube keeps throwing random music with very low view counts at me and you're coming with for this journey

     

    It's rare that I enjoy when songs do that thing where they have long stretches they slow down/barely do anything and this is no exception

    I'd like this more if it was shorter but I feel something also would be lost but I don't care enough about the song for that so I will rate it as I feel and I feel its still 8/10 cause the first few minutes were real good

    Shiki listened silently as they drove while Brian and Carmen answered. Only after they both had finished speaking did they say anything. First they answered Brian's own question.

    "Relationship Values are generally hidden numbers that reflect how much party members, npcs, or love interests like you. These values can be altered by various means included but not limited to choices made, events, gift giving, and actions during combat."

    Once more Shiki grew silent for a few moments as they took a turn. "We are glad to know that the value is raising. Bonds between people is sure to help when more difficult entities begin to appear." More silence, another turn. "Be careful not to raise it too high and trigger the confession event." Another brief silence and another turn. "Unless that is your goal."

    The next silence was longer and, as Shiki took another turn, the duo might realize something.

    They had been driving in circles this entire time. If asked why Shiki would simply reply, "we were not asked to go anywhere in specific."

    ---

    Eventually they would arrive at whatever destination they wanted and, before the first of them got out, Shiki would tell them that they would not be messaging tomorrow, "unless a world ending calamity falls on us" and to make sure to have a nice day.

    Team BQN

    The marshy area around the statue was wet as expected. For those who knew about marshes it might seem odd that only a patch of the route was like this and the rest, while windy, seemed to be perfectly normal. Even the areas on the outskirts of the marsh was dry and allowed for easy passage around it if desired. There were plenty of Pokemon that made this marsh their home but notably many of them didn't get too close to the statue in the middle. Only several types of Psychic Pokemon stayed near it and as anyone got closer they would have some idea why.

    Once they got within a couple dozen feet of the vaguely squid-shaped statue they would hear a ringing in their ears. If they got closer the ringing seemed to grow louder. Despite this they felt an odd compulsion to get closer still to the statue. Something about it drew anyone who got close's interest until they felt a strong urge to touch the statue.

    Any Pokemon they happened to have with them shied away from it once within ten feet even if their trainer got closer. Yet at that distance the statue started to feel important. They had to get closer. They had to find out what it was.

    They had to know what this whispering voice in the back of their head was saying.

    Alright glad you liked it heh heh, okay I won't post extended versions next time Pokémon Clover has a pretty good OST I dig their soundtracks.

    Here is another one of my favorites:

     

    I like this a bit better than the previous one, and doesn't feel it overstays its welcome, 8/10

    Chris managed to slice into the skeleton's knee pretty easily. He cut through one of the knees before the skeleton even realized he was there. With only one leg to keep it standing the undead began to topple to the side. However before fully falling it did attempt to swing its sword down at Chris on the way to the ground.

    The other nearby skeleton seemed to realize Chris was there and raised its blade and began to approach him. While the three on the outer ends were just now realizing that there were living creatures moving around at all. They looked away from the stationary illusion and turned their eye-less gaze towards the group.

    The wrapped undead in the coffin raised its left arm as Lana swung her axe. The axe blade bit into the creature's hand and cut deep into it but the undead didn't react nor did anything come out of the wound. It pushed back on the axe with strength at least comparable to Lana's own and pushed her a few steps away as it stepped out of the coffin and swung its other arm like a club at Lana's own head.

     

    Spoiler

    Pretty simple overall yet nothing big to explain but here's a Map anyway.

    "s-sorry,"

    "I'm...I'm okay." Cym said. "You humans really are heavy aren't you?" She managed to get herself up and then had to duck down to pick her sword back up as well. "I'm just glad he didn't grab me I don't think I could take being swung like that. What ARE you guys made of?"

    While the two of them got back to their feet and regained their bearings Lindow was had made his move.

    Keres wasn't entirely sure what Lindow's look had meant but she hoped that he was expecting her to yank him up like that. His landing wasn't the most graceful but at the very least Lucas wasn't able to get to him. Had the lycan struck she couldn't be sure he would have gotten out of there without injury.

    Unfortunately Lucas was able to double back around with ease and was already heading back for them. Which put him on course for the two mages in the back. Pan had released his spell once he realized Lucas wasn't fighting it but he wasn't quite fast enough to cast another right away so as Lucas jumped over Lindow with ease and went towards Keres it was all up to her to respond.

    She focused as best she could the water that she had gathered up in front of her and launched it in a geyser coming from her hands right a the center of the lycan's considerable mass.

    The geyster struck him and pushed him back but Keres gasped out as she struggled against his weight and strength. Instead of blasting him away she mostly succeeded at stopping him midair and the lupine man managed to break free from the geyser and dove off to the side. Which ended up putting him closer to where Pan stood instead.

    Over at the edge of the forest Madelyn struggled to pool enough magic energy together to fix up Reinaan's wounds enough to keep him from bleeding out right then and there.
