A new ghost in town

[lolighostgirl]

Characters: [ou] Perona and You.
Setting: Room 1-19, Floor 48, and Cafeteria
Format: Either
Summary: Perona arrives and she can't summon her ghosts... why?! She starts out in her room and makes her way downstairs.

[Room 1-19]

[After Perona had woken up, she put on her goth lolita attire. She knelled down to her trunk and began to search for something. The search turned out to be her tossing stuff aside Whatever she was looking for, she was either desperate or in denial.]

No... No... NO. They better have brought it. Those heartless insensitive people.

[Floor 48]

[As she explored the tower, she stopped in the graveyard room. It wasn't like Thriller Bark, so creepy and yet empty. Perona leaned herself near a tombstone before she sat down. She extended her arm out like she was about to grab something. Instead she tried to summon her ghosts and of course her attempts has failed. Her hand slowly closed to a fist raged at this. Not only they have taken away from her home but most of her powers too?! This wasn't acceptable.]

[Cafeteria]

[Here's Perona trying to consume oatmeal because that's what they gave her. Watch her make a face every time she eats it including tongue hanging out following a tantrum. Seriously, how do people eat this stuff?]

Comments

yes and yes! i just got off hiatus in route a few days ago but yes, it need to happen.

[ghostytrainer]

[Oh good, she's still moving. So chances are...not paralykiss. Though damn is she pissed. Oh boy. His body is as ready as it can be.]

Err.. yeah, he does. Sorry about that! I like to let him get a little fresh air while I'm working. I try to keep an eye on him but I didn't think there was anybody else on this floor so I kinda just...yeah. [He rubs at the back of his head.] He's just a prankster, that's all. You know how ghosts are!

[Hope John doesn't mind personal space invasion because Perona raises herself to get close to his face, barely touching his nose. Her index finger presses on his chest.]

Well, some people enjoy their time in places like these so don't think you can just let something you can't control loose like that! Even with cute--

[She pauses when the word 'ghosts' registers. She takes a step back, no fear but more amusing.]

That ugly thing is a ghost?

excellleeeennnttttt ouo

[ghostytrainer]

[Wow holy shit this is up close and personal. Good thing John has a relatively small personal bubble. Despite the fact that his eyes are wide as saucers, it doesn't seem to be the personal space invasion that he minds, but rather the anger.]

[But really that's understandable. He's not sure exactly what Slimer did to her but he can guess.]

Err...yes? Well, okay. He's not a dead person ghost, he's a ghost type Pokemon but yeah. That's what he is.

[He's not sure if this is a good or a bad thing...he's hoping good.]

[lolighostgirl]

[She's not sure who or what Pokemon is. It's not human and it's a ghost. Perona paints her lips with a smirk. Perona extends her arm out to John. She does this quickly so it looks like her hand penetrates into his body, like she just dig her hand into him. In this case, probably just above his stomach. He can't feel it but it sure looks like it. Freaky huh. Hopefully his other pokemon friends will try not to be hasty.]

I wouldn't move if I were you unless you want your ribcage ripped out.

sorry about the delay orz

[ghostytrainer]

[John freezes, breath catching in his chest and wondering just how in the world it has come to this. Dammit, Slimer. This is pretty much your fault, he's sure. See if he lets you eat his dreams tonight you ungrateful ghost.]

[While it's clear that neither of John's remaining ghosty companions are okay with this turn of events, neither one of them makes a move towards the loli. The Litwick merely moves closet to John, cuddling up next to his neck. Behind the boy, the Dusknoir's single eye narrows, fixing Perona with the steeliest glare he can muster. One of his gigantic hands curls into a tight fist. He's not making a move yet, but he's clearly prepared to should it come to it or if he can find an opening. He may be ridiculously protective of his master, but he's not the hasty type. He knows that making a real move here would be incredibly foolish.]

U-uhh...

[What did he do to deserve this......]

lol same here orz ;;

[lolighostgirl]

[Fear was always the best troll affect. Perona smirked when she saw the rest of the cute companions came to a halt. She moved the arm, which pierced John, in a circular motion to make it more realistic. Was she going for something else in there? Who knows.

She looked up to see if the prankster ghost came out. When she didn't see him, it was time to make it come out.]

Slimer was it? You better come out too if you don't want me to pull this guy's inside out.

[ghostytrainer]

[John's heart almost stops at that. He can't reach his pokeballs without moving, and she explicitly said that moving would result in loss of ribcage. And John kind of likes that where it is.]

He...he can't--

[John is cut off as one of the pokeballs on his belt snaps open of its own accord, releasing a blinding flash of white light which quickly reveals a frowning Slimer. His eyes glint dangerously, glowing red as he stares down the pink-haired Lolita.]

[Prankstery jackass though he may be, Slimer's actually pretty fond of his trainer. Unfortunately, he's more reckless than Elliot the Dusknoir, and one of his disembodied hands flies to Perona's neck without warning.]

Haaauuunt.

Slimer don't, stop! Let her go!

[lolighostgirl]

[One of the nice things of being a ghost was that everyone and everything could pass her. This time she wasn't scared as before. Long as her mind is cool, that hand of Haunters could pass through her and it does.

The Ghost Princess grinned as if she had already won victory.]

You should of listened to him. Take care of him on the afterlife.

[That said, Perona jerked her arm up from within John which does absolutely nothing, but John and his ghosts doesn't know about that.]

[ghostytrainer]

Ahhh!!!

[John throws his hands up in front of his face for unfathomable reasons. Seriously, John. What were you expecting that to do? Not that it...really matters because apparently nothing happened.]

[There's a good thirty seconds where both trainer and ghosts look completely and utterly baffled before realizing they've all been punk'd.]

I...what? My rib cage. [He starts feeling his own chest with both hands. There is a distinct feeling of rib cage in there...which is good but at the same time what?] What just happened?

[lolighostgirl]

[Perona blinked innocently before she removed her hand away from John and spread them out with palms facing him.]

I can't really do it~ <3

[All she said. Yep, you've been Punk'd.]

[ghostytrainer]

You...oh. Well.

[Critical hit to the prankster's gambit!]

Good for me then! Erm... [He scratches at his cheek.] So does that mean you're not actually mad? Because I really am sorry about him. And Slimer is too, aren't you dude? [He shoots a very pointed glare at the ghost in question, who grumbles and sighs but eventually gives something that at least kind of sounds like a very short apology in Haunter-speak.]

[lolighostgirl]

Haraharaharahara~

[She had to let out her laughter. The faces and reactions, so priceless. Her laughter died down finally after John's question.]

I can still go through people but I can't pull anything out. I'll forgive you guys but--[Dramatic index finger!] only if I can borrow those ghosts time to time. You're lucky I'm forgivable because you got ghosts.

[ghostytrainer]

Err... [He gives his ghostly entourage a nervous glance.] Well I don't really mind letting people borrow my Pokemon but...I don't even know your name. Or anything about you at all really.

[lolighostgirl]

[At first it looked like she was about to fall over. Oh right, introductions... She hasn't done it in a while, living in a pirate ship and all. Still, people should know who she is!]

I'm Ghost Princess, Perona. One of the Mysterious Four of Thriller Bark. [She was pleased to say.] But I suppose you don't know much since you're not from the Grand Line.

[ghostytrainer]

Uh...nope! I surely am not from...whatever that place is. But it's nice to meet you, your majesty.

[Sarcasm or sincerity? Probably a combo of both.]

Though uh...if you're a ghost princess, how did Slimer manage to scare you so badly?

[Now that was definitely meant to be a jab.]

[lolighostgirl]

He caught me off guard!

[Perona immediately barked. Don't give her a reason to make him fall on his knees.]

I-I thought he was some kind of monster in this place, and I've never seen ugly ghosts like that!

[ghostytrainer]

[]

Eheh...well you wouldn't be the first one to make that mistake. So I guess I can't really blame you for that.

[lolighostgirl]

[Pff, sorry Haunter.]

Exactly! [At least they're on the same page.] Aren't you going to tell me your name? On second thought, Ghost-san is better.

[ghostytrainer]

[No you're not, don't lie. See if he agrees to do anything you tell him to after this, Princess.]

Oh! [John smacks his forehead.] Right! I never did return the favor did I, my bad. [But can you really blame him?] Well you can call me Ghost-san if you want, but my name is really John Egbert.

[John, Ghost. Close enough.]

[lolighostgirl]

[She'll give him a sweet or something.]

Ghost-san it is. [Or Mr. Ghost.]

[ghostytrainer]

[Wow he can so not be bought off by sweets.]

[Not entirely.]

Hehe, works for me! [Better than "hey you" or something.] So...Princess of the Ghosts, huh? So how does that work exactly?

[lolighostgirl]

[Why not? Sweets are the best with hot chocolate!

...and this is the part where she just floats away to a tombstone and sits right there.]

I ate a Horo Horo devil fruit that makes me a hollow. I used to summon hollows easily but something happened here. [She looks away with a small puff of cheeks. Not able to do that at least stinks.]

[ghostytrainer]

Devil Fruit...?

[He trails off, quirking a brow and looking contemplative. The word sounds oddly familiar to him, but for the life of him, he can't remember where he heard it.]

[lolighostgirl]

[Le sigh. Why aren't you all from the Grand Line like normal people?]

It's a fruit from the sea. If you eat it, it grants you a certain power and takes away the ability to swim. That's why it's called a Devil Fruit.

[ghostytrainer]

No no, it's not that. Well, I mean I didn't know what it did but that's not why I asked. I am pretty sure I've heard the word before...but I can't remember where now. It was somebody I was talking to in Johto...ah! [You can almost see the lightbulb go off in his head.] Smoker!
