Compulsive!Bricklayer!Caterpie!Aspect: I resent that remark!

Charizard!Basket: Hrm hrm. So, portal to Kanto, eh? So that our former hosts don't catch on to the chaos we're causing, we'll need code names for this operation.

-she thumbs through a dictionary-

Your code name is... "Streamer".

Charizard!Basket: Bah, all these dimensions of choice are bewildering, like used to be so simple... turn people into Charizard, set things on fire... now I have to pick nicknames and such complexity!

...Bonfire sounds nice though. Bonfire, Bon-fire, good-fire. Who doesn't love a good fire?

Charizard!Basket: Hmph. We will meet again, Brogress!

...in however many minutes.

-she turns to her desk and plays with a Uranium bomb-

Bonfire: Hey, "Brogress"? The mob is getting restless...

Outside

Insomniac!Mezzo: -swinging an umbrella grumpily-

I haven't slept since I was 5, but I might doze off if I have to keep standing around here...

Bonfire: Very well. But if we seem so resigned to never returning, we would do as well to leave them out of our missions anyways.

Bonfire: Oh no, you are going to let me watch!

-she flies through the portal-

The Sea of Trees

The portal drops both Noir and Bonfire off in the middle of the Sea of Trees. Noir looks around and rubs her hands, chuckling with a maniacal tone.

Noir: This place lingers with death and despair. The perfect place for the perfect crime~

She faces Bonfire and places two fingers on her nose.

Noir: Now watch this, my fire-forged friend~

Noir starts whistling as she conjures up a dated photo of Red.

Noir: He shall be my muse~

Noir sticks the portrait on a tree and places a finger on the corner of her lip.

Noir: Hmm~ I see! I see...! Now for the main part (This is gonna hurt). HNNNG

Noir rips off all the excess obscura that she's gained from eating too many cookies an throws it on the ground. Reverting back to her more slender form.

Noir: Ah~ It's good to get back into shape. Speaking of shapes...

Noir starts shaping the obscura ripped from her body in a humanoid shape.

Noir: A nip here, a tuck there... Pigmentation for the skin~ Colours for the clothes~ Dreaaaamy eyes~ Hmm~ Hmmm~ Hmm~... DONE!

Lying on the ground is an almost perfect replica of Old!Red pictured on the tree. However, the eyes are dull and the body is not moving... or breathing.

Noir: Feh. I hope that lot back there is happy with this body. They shouldn't be so gods-damned picky.

Dashedreams Badlands

An Absol with a card labelled PAULA ALPHA is sitting around looking for the new arrival.

The Sea of Trees

Noir puts her hands on her hips and pouts at Bonfire

Noir: You don't seem to be the type who's on the Auric spectrum at all, Bonnie Lass. You seem more of the fiery type.

Noir notices the body twitching as the mindscape becomes populated.

Noir: Oh this should be fun~ Having an entire city's worth of aspects trying to co-ordinate is a rather interesting social experiment indeed~

Dashedreams Badlands

Friendly Welcoming Absol: Hello there! I am the Friendly Welcoming Absol! I am here to help you settle in the City as well as give you a generalised tour of all the attractions Dashedreams has to offer~ First off, though, is getting you settled in at your allocated accommodation. AND DON'T FORGET, YOU'RE HERE FOREVER.

The Absol starts heading towards the city

Dashedreams Flat

-a Charizardish aspect enters a dark, cobwebbed apartment-

Bonfire: Tsk, I wasn't out THAT long grocery-shopping.

-she Embers the cobwebs to clear them out and illuminate the necromantic lighting-

-From one of the newly formed shadows, a pudgier version of a familiar squiddy lady jumps out. She is wearing a pair of silly Rattata ears-

Noir: Oh hey there Bonfire! I'm back from my holiday to Didney Worl

-Noir looks around the place, then leers back at Bonfire-

Noir: You really let the fuckin' place go, Bonfire. Tsk, don't you know how to clean?

Bonfire: I told you, I don't DO dishes!

...but the cobwebs weren't here this morning.

Now who would give our pad a Halloween makeover in November..?

-Suddenly the apartment flares up in an array of carnival lights and fireworks-

Mirthras: AHAHAHA! Mirthras welcomes you, dear mortals to his carinval OF THE DAMNED!

-The lady-looking magician cackles like a maniac and poofs behind Noir and Bonfire, wearing the garb of a fortune teller-

Bonfire: Oooh, fireworks!

Whaddya say, Noir, detonating pyrotechnics inside somebody's apartment totally excuses breaking, entering, and operating an unlicensed entertainment venue, amirite?

-Noir blinks and unfurls her tendrils-

Noir: Mirthras. Buddy. Can you tell me a) WHY the fuck you thought it was okay to break into our aparment while we were out and b) WHY you repurposed our apartment into a demonic fairground?

Mirthras: Well, you see, mortals...

The EVIL wizard Mirthras has just a wee little cashflow problem, on the order of, oh, let's say Ꝑ12,000 in debt to the Poképanese Mafia.

So since he had already used the money to build his evil carnival in your apartment- nice job on the eldrich feng-shui Noir, by the way- he decided to open it up to the public, to MONETIZE HIS ASSETS!

So step right up, mortals, and buy your tickets.... OF DOOM!

Noir: Mirthras, this is own own apartment. If you don't pick up yer kit and naff off, I'll make sure the Pokepanese Mafia finds you and takes your LEFT pinkie to go with your right!

-Mirthras makes a girlish squeal as he quickly hides his hands behind his back, gorwling at Noir-

Mirthras: FOOLS! How dare you disrupt my rights to awaken the ANCIENT SUMERIAN CARNIVAL GOD BONZO! You shall pay for your insolence!

-Mirthras conjures up a crystal ball and begins chanting-

Bonfire: -is paging through the apartment association bylaws for mentions of Sumerian deities-

Mirthras: SUBMARINUS JARATITUS Uhahahaha~ And this is just a TASTE of the spells I have been cooking up~ Mirthras is getting a lot of BUZZ from some PRE-TTY big magical universities right now~ I don't want to name drop - Hogwarts - is very interested! Hueha!

-The apartment is flooded with a strange, yellowish liquid-

Mirthras: SWIM MORTALS! SWIM UNDERWATER UNTIL YOU- Oh

-Noir looks around as her eyes widen and gare literal daggers towards Mirthras-

Mirthras: Oh... OH No.. That's... That's NOT water, is it? Oh...Mirthras is so very, VERY Sorry

Bonfire: -glares-

I DON'T SWIM!

Mirthras: All cards on the table, that was SUPPOSED to be water...

-Noir swims over towards a window and opens it. Allowing the liquid to quickly flush out of the apartment-

Mirthras: Allow me to express me most SINCERE apologies... by giving you an all-expenses-paid trip...

-he casts a green glowing Swirly Energy Thingy-

TO A DIABOLICAL REALM OF BUMPER CAR CARNAGE!

-Noir and Bonfire are conjured to some sort of figure eight race track where the two are placed in silly haunted bumper cars-

Noir: Wat

Mirthras: You have to collect 200... DIABOLICAL. DUCKS. OF DOOOOOOOM!

-A few greenish Ducklett figures appear on the track-

Mirthras: Now GO ALONG! BUMP YOUR PADDED CAR TO YOUR PADDED GRAVE AHAHAHAHAHAHA!

These are my machines of malaveloent mayhem! My hearses with curses! MY BUMPER SCARS!

Bonfire: -leers at Noir evilly-

All's fair in love and bumper cars.

-Noir flashes Bonfire an evil smirk. Tendrils waving around all flashy flashy like-

Noir: Get ready for the bumping... OF YOUR LIFE!

Mirthras: H-hey that was MIRTHRAS' Line!

-Noir schooms forwards and grabs all the Duckletts she can, using her tendrils to kinda cheat but not-

Bonfire: -drives straight at Noir-

BANZAI!

-They collide-

Mirthras: BONUS DUCKS!

-A bunch of golden Ducklett figures burst out of both of them-

Bonfire: MINE!

-As Bonfire snags a few of Noir's Ducketts, Noir white eyes turn red-

Noir: NOT ON MY WATCH, BONFIRE

-Noir turns around and smashes into Bonfire-

Mirthras: BONUS DUCKS!

Bonfire: Oh no, it's on now!

-she swings around to crash into Noir again-

Mirthras: BONUS DUCKS!

Noir: CRASH AND BURN!

-Noir crashes into her again-

Mirthras: BONUS DUCKS! (This is going to go on for a while, Mirthras can see it)

-And true to his word, the two continuously crash and bash into eachother, trying harder to knock eachother off the track rather than actually collecting Duckletts. That doesn't mean the Duckletts are not being collected however, as a previously unidentified third party is collecting the Duckletts during the mayhem-

Bonfire: OK, gloves come off!

-Bonfire glitches out of her bumper car, grabs the bumper car, and begins flailing it at Noir-

Mirthras: BON-BON-BONU-BON-BONUS DUCKS!

-Noir screeches to a halt and turns the ends of her 8 tendrils into bumper cars themselves, and begins flailing THESE at Bonfire-

Noir: TWO CAN PLAY AT THAT GAME

Mirthras: Blue Team loses!

Bonfire: Woo-hoo! In your face!

Mirthras: Red Team loses too!

Bonfire: WHAT?!

Mirthras: Green Wins!

-A blue haired man in adventure rags puches his hands in the air-

Rick: WOOO! EVERYTHING IS JUST COMIN' UP RICK NOW!

Bonfire: ...

Noir: ....

Rick: :3
