"I dare you to ride on one of these... what are they called?" He said as he gestured to a massive rollercoaster nearby.
Brow furrowed, she followed Wes's gaze to the roller coaster. She craned her neck upward to stare at it, before side-eyeing him. "Bold of you to assume I'm going to be tall enough for that," she said flatly. She reached down and tightened the jacket around her waist, before walking for the monstrous contraption.
"Do you want me to come with you, Doll?" Dorien called after her affectionately.
With an angrier sigh, she forced a loving grin and looked over her shoulder. "No thanks! I'm a big girl. You can watch~"
Some more guaranteed alone time, even if it was on a roller coaster, was better than none.
Dorien didn't say anything in response. Instead, he simply waved. As he did, his eyes slowly but surely wandered to the operator box that was right next to the ride. Nobody was around to operate it, but it somehow worked anyway.
Say the word, and I'll go. I know what you're thinking.
No, he
wasn't thinking that. Well, at first he wasn't. Now...well. His mind was going elsewhere.
This would be an opportunity. But he wasn't sure if it was one he wanted to take. As he watched her get on the ride with ease, he silently fought with himself, and the Envy god in his head.
He had a mission. She had what he wanted. She had
everything he wanted. And he fucking loved her so much...as much as he wanted to bash her head in. As much as he wanted to watch the life drain out of her eyes, so he could covet everything she had. It would be so easy.
This would be so easy.
His shoulders deflated, and he inconspicuously reached into his jacket pocket and thumbed the specialty ball he'd had hidden on him. His expression didn't waver, nor was his body language any more telling, as he pressed the release on it.
And he felt Inviderus's presence leave him.
Odette looked bored as she leaned over the safety bar that sat across her lap. These rinky-dink fair rollercoasters were nothing special, although
this one was bigger than any others she'd seen. She had to wonder if it was any safer? She supposed this was a multiverse game where nobody was supposed to die, so, hopefully the host took that into account.
The train angled upward for its typical hike toward the first big drop of the ride, which lead into a loop. She almost felt a yawn coming on as she watched the scenery below her. This might have been relaxing if she wasn't still coming down from that earlier fit, or if her knuckles and elbows still didn't sting so ba--
BANG. POP. SKKREEEET.
It all happened in an instant. The noise was deafening, as the operator box next to the rollercoaster exploded into sparks before exploding with a medium sized
boom. Odette's eyes widened as she watched it nearly disintegrate, as the cart reached the summit of the drop.
An expletive was barely out of her mouth before the safety bar popped open.
All conscious thought shut off, and as the train threw itself over the edge, Odette tore one of the bandages off her knuckles with such force, the bleeding began again.
"
Manifest, Odile!" she screamed as she threw herself out of the cart, and hurdled toward the ground.
The train hit the loop as a blinding flash of maroon light exploded from her pocket, and a grotesque and gargantuan dragon, comprised of what looked to be only jagged branches and sticks, came to form underneath Odette before she could hit the ground. The dragon soared upward toward the sky with a deafening shriek, before looping away from the ride and gliding back down to Earth. As it landed, with Odette clinging for dear life onto it's neck, it roared again.
"
S-somebody's fucking dead. I’m gon-na kill somebody," Odette hollered, her voice carrying despite the stammer. Her body shook with a mixture of delayed panic, and anger, as she clung to her Pokemon's neck with every last drop of strength she had left in her body. Her eyes blazed, just like dragon's.
"
Do you hear me? DEAD."
