Warnings: none atm a. dream review
Perhaps you're passing through the Archives, or the living hall in Skull Town when you spot a Sneasel sitting at a table furiously scrawling out various drawings on paper. Mayaka's gloves have been set aside neatly beside her for now, because she finds it easier to hold onto the charcoal pencils using her bare claws. She's experienced some weird dreams from last month. Though she doesn't remember the exact details, she's been dutifully drawing out the images that lingered in her mind upon waking up. Now, it's time to try to make sense of them. On the table you'll find the following drawings:
1. What appears to be a spaceship, though Mayaka's drawn it to look more like a truck with four wheels underneath.
2. A primordial-looking fish creature. She has given it a pair of cute, anime-sized eyes to make it look more approachable.
3. A black cat with an extra pair of eyes on its stomach. More cat-like than Mimikyu at this point.
4. The drawing she's currently working on, and struggling to capture. She's trying to remember what the alien beings in the final big nightmare looked like, though the large and erratic shapes on paper may not look recognisable to anyone. Mayaka is finding it difficult because she doesn't have an image in mind to associate with what she saw in the nightmare.
She's too caught up with this to notice if someone were to approach...
b. how to deal with ghosts
If you're wandering around Bottlecap Bay, you'll find Mayaka outside her house in the Lum Berry housing area, rooted on the spot.
Her attention is focused on a small clay sculpture she's placed in the garden of her front porch. It's a little handmade ghost figurine with a hairbow on its head. While it might look strangely cute, the more you look at it, the more you'll notice that it's two eyes seem to be gazing directly at you with an unblinking Stare™.
This is the ghost that's been chasing her in her dreams, but she's too scared to get rid of it! (Also, the fact that it was a gift to her from Catrina doesn't help!)
The Sneasel is shaking a little, and it's not from the cold weather. She's standing a safe distance away from the figurine, muttering to herself: "It's just a doll... it's just a dolll..."
(Dolls are creepy too, though??)
c. wildcard!
for any other threads or ideas that come up!
no subject
"Chocolate chip is fine." Mayaka gets the less interesting bit out of the way with a curt answer, before diving into the real meat of the conversation.
"What's your experience with love, Dolly-chan?"
no subject
Oh dear...how to even tackle that question? Dolly was definitely mentally scrambling despite that placid expression. She's been a single wonder for a decent amount of time too and it didn't help her sibs before did act like bodyguards.
"To be fair with you, my older siblings were pretty protective, so never really had the chance for a romantic love just yet and that's okay. I'll definitely try and answer romance questions though."
no subject
"Did you have a crush, at least? What kind of person do you like?"
This Sneasel is not so much interested in getting advice on romance, it seems. She's just a little nosy!
no subject
Oh boy though...Curly ex Machina isn't here to save Dolly now!
"...I've always been into folks that were snarky with a side of stubborn but are also kind and caring that have a sense of humor. I tend to be attracted to those that enjoy spending plenty of quality time together."
