Letter 7 // [Cherrygrove/event]

[pwndby_pillow]

[The video starts and Mary is seen in the main part of Cherrygrove's poke'mon center.

She's shaking and crying, doubtlessly terrified of the events going on around her. Everything is pixelated including her poke'mon which are sitting beside her, frozen in their diffrent states.I-I went back to Ch-cherrygrove with Jack

[action] Just fyi, you are awesome for playing Mary

[oldestfriend]

[A hand suddenly comes to rest on Mary's shoulder and Dee gives a small smile, as if they're friends.]

It's alright. Things are strange now, but they'll get better.

I'm Dee.

[action] Why thanks! And you play an awesome Death.

[pwndby_pillow]

[Mary jumps and looks up at the other.

Dee?]

Dee.

...What do you mean 'they'll get better'? When?!

[action] Fft, thanks! I'm working on her. C8

[oldestfriend]

[Ignoring the hysteria, Dee crouches down and wraps her arms around the other woman.]

Eventually. It's a pattern. Suns always rise and then set. Bad things happen, sometimes, and so do good ones.

You just have to be patient, and wait.

[She gives her best reassuring smile.]

I'll wait with you, if it would help.

[action] And because Mary is supposed to be dead, she likes you for some reason.

[pwndby_pillow]

[Mary didn't understand it but...this woman had a familiar feel about her. Though she didn't know why, she hugged back.]

Y-yes...if you would for a bit.

Thank you. I don't want to be alone.

[action] Death gets that a lot |D

[oldestfriend]

Oh, Mary. You're never alone.

[In a manner more maternal than anything, she pecks her on the top of her head before standing up, trying to help Mary as well.]

C'mon. We can go get coffee.

[action] Even if she was smothered to death? 8D

[pwndby_pillow]

[Mary stands and follows her. It was strange...but she felt like she could...trust this woman.]

[action] Of course~ 8D

[oldestfriend]

[The whole town is in a strange state right now, but at least some things should still be the same- taste is what she's aiming for. She guides Mary to a familiar cafe, humming a small tune to herself.]

What sort of coffee do you like? I'll pay.

[action] <33

[pwndby_pillow]

I'm usually one to drink tea...but any sweetened coffee will do fine.

Are you sure? I have money dear.

[action]

[oldestfriend]

I'm not the one who was crying. [Smiles.] Don't worry about it.

[action]

[pwndby_pillow]

I-I'm sorry.

[She sniffles, wipeing her eyes.]

Thank you.

[action]

[oldestfriend]

It's no problem. It's been tough for you. All of us, I think.

[She holds the door open for Mary, taking in a deep breath of the coffee smell.]

[action]

[pwndby_pillow]

[Mary steps inside first.]

[action]

[oldestfriend]

[Having been here before everything went crazy, Dee knows kind of what might fit Mary's tastes. She makes the order before smiling at Mary and holding her hand.]

So. Besides this place getting the worst make over in possibly the history of ever, how's life been treating you?

[action]

[pwndby_pillow]

[Mary just manages a small smile.]

Better then what they used to be...

I don't feel as terrible as I did and...I adopted a son.

[Sort of. Jack is like a son to her and it makes her feel better as she can't have children.]

[action]

[oldestfriend]

See? Things aren't so bad.

[She looks up as two cups are handed over. Nodding to the cashier- near emotionless even with pixels- she hands one to Mary.]

You'll have to tell me all about him, then. It's always nice to add to a family.

[action]

[pwndby_pillow]

[Mary greatfully takes the coffee from the other and nods.]

About Jack?

[She thinks of where to start exactly. He had such a big personality and was so full of himself at times.]
