2nd Sketch [Action - Ecruteak]

[colorofdeath]

Who: Mei Misaki & You
Where: Ecruteak City
When: August 18th

Summary: Mei has encountered a ghost from the not-so-distant past.



[Mei had more or less adjusted to the creatures known as Pokémon, as well as most of her new surroundings. Background music included. Even the festival had been like a flashback to normalcy, little ghosts excluded. The excitement over the festival had even made her feel nostalgic, and she only wished her sister could've been here to experience it with her.

...what she never expected was to find herself face to face with a phantom that looked just like her. That smile was undoubtedly hers, but she was completely silent. How, though? Mei knew very well she'd died.]

Misaki...

[Mei can be found nervously wandering about town, trying to evade the ghostly image of her sister, unsure what to make of it. It's...nice to be able to see even just a phantom of her, but it feels...wrong.]

Comments

[usedgravity]

O, oh... did something happen between you two before?

[colorofdeath]

[Mei glances away, clearly uncomfortable with that question.]

Not...really.

[usedgravity]

[Ochako will just... pretend she believes that then, since it obviously bothers her.]

Hmm, well... if she's not saying anything, maybe she's here to listen?

[colorofdeath]

Listen to what?

[Even if it really was Misaki, she isn't sure what she'd say.]

[usedgravity]

Well, I mean... anything you might have wished you'd had a chance to say to her?

[colorofdeath]

...

[Mei opens her mouth as if to say something, but remains silent. There's so much she wanted to be able to do, so much she'd wanted to be able to say. It wasn't fair that she had to die like that.]

[usedgravity]

[Looks like she was right but... maybe it had been better if she hadn't said anything about it? At the very least, it obviously was pretty personal]

I, uh... guess I should leave you to that, huh? Sorry to just butt in like this...

[colorofdeath]

[There's a pause, but she nods. Mei's not angry by any means. Not at Ochako, anyway.]

It's fine. I'll...figure it out. [There's an unspoken 'thanks' there.]

[usedgravity]

Well... I hope it works out for you?

You can call me any time if you need anything else, okay? My name's Ochako Uraraka.

[colorofdeath]

[Mei just nods again. She doesn't know how it'll work out, but she probably should deal with it at some point.]

I'm Mei Misaki.

[usedgravity]

It's nice to meet you, Mei! Hopefully we can hang out some other time.

[She'll wave and... leave her to her ghost? It seems like she'll be fine anyway.]
