I've got a headache that won't quit, so I'll be heading to bed.  However, I can do the judging tomorrow.

"Well, if Runaway senses anything, we may as well follow," Trak nodded.

Runaway, relieved to finally be given the initiative to investigate, started pulling Trak in the direction of the woods.

I don't kill mice.  I trap them and release them outside where they belong.  The cats had a mouse cornered in the bedroom once.  I shooed the cats away and let the mouse crawl onto my hand, which it then proceeded to climb my arm and up onto my head.  So, I had a mouse on my head.

As they made their way out of town and down the road, Runaway clutched Trak's wrist tighter.  He sensed something, though he couldn't put into words exactly what.  He sensed trouble, something wrong.  The air smelled different, and each step brought them closer to the utter wrongness.

Trak glanced down after she almost tripped over Runaway, who was pressed up against her. "What's wrong?"

Runaway didn't respond.  He merely pointed to the forest.

You're not going to kill off Hypnoker, are you, Wily?  He's got potential. :c  We can rehabilitate him and have that go horribly wrong.  I have extra Quick Balls! 8D

Just read Pickman's Model and The Thing on the Doorstep.  My Lovecraft reading list so far:

The Dunwich Horror
Call of Cthulhu
Herbert West- Reanimator
Cool Air
Dagon
The Colour Out of Space
The Beast in the Cave
Hypnos
Pickman's Model
The Thing on the Doorstep


I need to finish reading The Shadow Over Innsmouth and I need to read The Haunter of the Dark.  Thankfully, most are short stories and the longer ones are novellas, so I can read through them in about a day or two.  I can also find them all online, which makes things easier.

The Dunwich Horror was great and still remains my favorite.  I definitely recommend starting with that one, as Lovecraft wrote it as more of a serial and it has a more pulpy prose.  Herbert West- Reanimator was also a good one, and it absolutely nothing like the schlock of the movie.  I enjoyed Pickman's Model, and it was quite... weird.

"Can't you give him a call or something?" Trak suggested as they made their way to the edge of town. "I mean, Twoey could help, but he hasn't been feeling right, either.  I had him out earlier, but he wanted to just stay in his ball and sleep."

Runaway was holding onto Trak's wrist with both hands, his spoons in one back shorts pocket.  They clinked together as they walked, Runaway reading the dazed expressions of those they passed.  The silence and the staring, with the Jynx's low hum and an eerily-warm wind didn't help the wrongness of the town.  It wasn't that there was anything truly bizarre, or foreign, but everything seemed just slightly off.  The air smelled off, the dead eyes of those they passed, the wind...  Runaway shuddered.  He didn't like it.  He didn't like it one bit.

Runaway tugged on Trak's coat and pointed to the outskirts. "S'il vous plaît. S'il vous plaît laissez-moi regarder. Je peux vous aider. Je peux lire cette bille." Please.  Please let me look.  I can help.  I can read that bead.

Trak shook her head. "No.  We'll go and look around, but you're not exerting yourself.  Your health is more important."

Runaway bowed his head and nodded slowly, though he kept throwing uneasy glances at the outskirts.

"Runaway wants to look around where we found that bead," Trak nodded to the Alakazam. "It's too creepy here, and I don't think we'll be of much use until we figure out what's going on.  I don't want Runaway to try and read anyone's mind today."

Stepping backward to get a look around the corner, Trak saw a couple standing on the sidewalk, staring blankly at the crossing light.  Some ways down the road, another person was walking their Pokemon... only they weren't walking.  They were just standing there, their eyes focused on some distant horizon.

Runaway sniffed the air, looking around.  He took hold of Trak's coat and sidled next to her. "Je n'aime pas cette ..." I don't like this...

Standing outside the Pokemon Center, Runaway threw another furtive glance to the outskirts of town.  He seemed on edge, as there was something decidedly... wrong.

Trak picked up on her Alakazam's unease. "Hey..." she shushed Shiva's humming with one hand and pointed upward with the other.  There was no traffic, no idle conversation of pedestrians... "Do you hear that?"

Trak watched the Jynx concentrate.  Runaway, however, was casting furtive glances to the edge of town.  He didn't touch the bead, as Trak kept it out of reach, mainly for his own well-being.  The Alakazam didn't need any more stress added to an already-stressed-out brain.

"Well," Trak handed the bead to Sakura, "what Runaway usually does is read a psychic imprint.  It's hard to explain, but if someone handles an object, they leave behind a trace.  Skin fragments, prints, and a psychic residue.  Runaway can read that residue and determine what it came from.  He can't say exactly what happened, but he can tell you who might be involved."

Trak and Sakura arrived in Fallarbor Town, after a very quick stop on Route 113, where they found Zoroark's hair bead, but no sign of the Pokemon or Joe.  A brief investigation found no obvious signs of a struggle, but they could have missed something.  Had Runaway been in a better state of mind, he could have helped look for any clues. 

Trak recalled St. Elmo, and then released Runaway. "I just don't get it.  People don't up and disappear like this.  And that hair bead doesn't come off easily."

Just got the kids upstairs.  This whole "you don't have to sleep, you just have to be in bed" ploy works.

Yes.  Yes they should.  It would give me another reason to drop the cash on a Wii U.

Dark chocolate.

And they're removing the giant pile of snow from my parking space!  Yay!  I don't need to pile it on my neighbor's car now!  Too bad it couldn't have been moved earlier, but my neighbor was parked there.  Now my neighbor's friends will be able to use my space again!

*readies baseball bat* Should be fun.

*whips out a bunch of puzzle games*

Looks like I'd better start practicing!  If it's anything like Sega Swirl, then I should be able to rack up rares in no time.
