[event] Level...down?

[collectyourfriends]

 There's a green-and-yellow something streaking through the hallways, a massive trail of silver tinsel and the smell of static following in its wake.

 A few moments after that, there's the sound of someone yelling in the distance--a child. 

"No! No no no no no Sparks no stop!"

And sometimes Sparks does stop. 



And waits for that little voice to catch up.



And every time, every time, he stays until the tiny child almost gets to him before turning and snapping his teeth at their hands and arms, and then he's off again.

Frisk is getting tired of this. Frisk's getting tired. They're so cold, in just a pair of long shorts and a T-shirt that says You're Numero Articuno! (They don't get the irony.) They'd rather be playing out in the snow anyway, 'cause they've never got to before, but they can't, because Sparks is being an extra jerk.

They've already got a collection of bloody marks on their arm, lines that end in dots--the unique bite of the Electrike line. It looks really weird, and feels even weirder, all tingly with the aftereffects of electricity.

Not that any of that'll stop them. They're going to catch up to it and give it a good scolding for wrecking peoples' stuff--the tinsel, the wreathes, the candles, some of the doors. Naughty naughty.

//warning that uh yeah, if your character gets in sparks' way he will probably attack them. it won't be too damaging but it won't be particularly fun either :V

SHOCK

[collectyourfriends]

Sparks skids to a halt, just barely bumping the end of it with his nose. He takes a few steps back and growls at them through the tinsel in his mouth.

"Sparks, stop running! You!" The tiny child stops to point up at spear and their face, red eyes glittering in anger. "'M okay! But don't hit him!"

plz no yell.

[ponchohuman]

They immediately retract their previous step, allowing the child to pass. They shift at the child's anger, fringe falling over their eyes.

"Sorry. It surprised me.....I would not hit a monster on purpose." Doesn't mean they didn't come close. Their grip tightens around their spear in shame. But there are more pressing matters they should focus on.

"I'm Kalak." They raise a hand in greeting. "Are you alone?"

ur not their boss!!! they are bossless!!!!!!

[collectyourfriends]

"A what? It's a' Electrike," they correct sharply. They've got no idea what a 'Monster' is, not even that it's a part of the word Pokémon.

They shrug, unconcerned. Strange for such a tiny kid, probably not even half a decade old yet. "Dunno where Mom is. Or this place. Where are we?"

Meanwhile,



Sparks decides to use the conversation as a chance to fly off again.

child u are breaking my heart

[ponchohuman]

"Ah, my apologies," Electrike, a new name for a monster. Not a bad one though. Their eye darts to the rapidly retreating Pokemon. "Not much for conversation is he?"

They shrug, turning back to Frisk. "I have no idea where we are anyway child. I'd be more then happy to accompany you to your Mother however." Its not like they have anything better to do.

[collectyourfriends]

"It's not psychic," they say scornfully, watching him retreat. "Can't talk."

And they're going after him. They at least decide to walk, so the weird adult can keep up. "I can find her after I get Sparks. She prob'ly took me here for vacation," Frisk informs them matter-of-factly.

[ponchohuman]

"Oh? How unfortunate." [They follow along quietly, hands folded beneath their poncho. A monster who can't talk? Well thats going to make for a very one sided conversation! They suppose these "Electrikes" must have their own way of speaking somehow. ]


"Would you like some assistance in catching him? You have very....short legs..." [ That's not to insulting right? ]

[collectyourfriends]

"I'm a kid." Of course they've got shorter legs than this grown-up. "You can help if you want, but it'll probably bite you a lot. Testing."
