Lily smiled broadly at Rose, such a loyal treasure. Definitely a keeper, too bad she changed into something unhuman.
"Of course, darling," she said to Steph. "I will do what I can to make your stay comfortable here."

When Gaia spoke she turned to her last gorgeous darling and she nodded at the words. "The capture was awful," she admitted, putting a hand on her chest. "They were so rough with you and I told them off about it. That's not how to treat agents, I agree. And you are correct, Gaia; we need to understand you better. You are a new species and Steph and Rose only recently transformed. So now you're with me, I will take care of you and when you are ready to join agents again you can leave."

Two darlings who understood it, just Steph seemed to be distrusting. But that was okay; Lily was certain Steph would soon enjoy herself here as well.

Agent Morrison led the way to a place where vampires often hung out and Ethan followed. While a stake was of course an affective way to pierce the heart, he carried a handheld crossbow with blessed, silver-tipped darts. According to the others, this weapon worked best when dealing with vampires from a distance, and he had been practising with it. In a holster he carried a stake for close-combat.
Of course it had to be confirmed these were vampires and Morrison used a heatgun to check their body heat.

"They are vampires allright," he said as he looked at the screen. Their body temperature was unmistakingly different from humans. He aimed his small crossbow and fired the first shot; Ethan followed suit and aimed at the other vampire.

Purple

Purple?
Yes indeed, the prompt is purple.

For this contest I invite you to create something with the colour purple. A character wearing purple clothes, a purple scenery, arts and crafts with purple paper, etc. It doesn't have to be completely purple, as long as it is predominantly purple.

Also, make sure to check the contest rules, because this time I have added a challenge.

What is the benefit of the challenge?
Artists that accepted the challenge will be eligible for an honourable mention that will be shown alongside the winner.

There isn't always a challenge, so make sure to check the contest rules every time.

MF&P #5 - Sleep

---

I always loved to watch you sleep.

Every night, when you drifted off, I would stay up to watch you sleep. Each morning, before you rose, I would get up to watch you sleep. You looked so peaceful, lying there so still and composed. I would creep around on the tips of my toes, trying my hardest not to make a sound. You were so beautiful when you were sleeping, I never had the heart to wake you.

Until I did.

And then you saw me.

And then you started to scream.

Michael followed Eros and put a hand on his head. "Hey, it's okay. You don't have to leave. We're not angry, just surprised to hear this." He glanced briefly at Niccia - he had seen her reaction to Darkrai, but she didn't seem in need of comforting, whereas Eros felt really bad about himself right now. "I'm glad you came out of hiding so we could meet," he assured him. "And I would like to introduce you to my Pokémon, if you agree."
Maybe not Missy for the first introduction, she could startle Eros with her enthusiasm, but Saruya was motherly and Lytse kind, and he was certain both would love to meet him.
As he thought about it he glanced around to locate them, and it didn't take him long to spot them.

"I do welcome the rest," Diel admitted with a laugh. "And you should have seen him in the hospital, trying his best to act like a human who definitely had been in hospitals before. I think he managed well enough, and he slipped away when they wanted him to fill in some forms."

Bear blocked the Brick Break by crossing his arms, although that didn't shield him entirely from the blow. This was exciting! He did notice Benny hovering above the field, but assumed him to spectate. Who wouldn't want to spectate his awesome moves?
"You're going down!" he said - in a normal battle he would have growled it, but there was a happy edge to his voice.
He ran forward in an attempt to catch Carrish and do a Seismic Toss by pounding her into the ground.

"That is settled then," Sea said. "I'll make a pool. Can you harden the walls, brother, so the water won't seep into the ground or become muddy?"
Like all siblings they had had their fights in the past and would have more in the future, but they were brothers and got along most of the time. Thankfully today was such a day.

Lytse tried to imagine how that must have been. As a companion of a human he had been in official institutions several times and he knew the love humans had for signing forms and other paperwork. It seemed like a hassle, but all humans did it so it must be something they enjoy, right?

"Wow, that is amazing," Mindy said in response to Xapher's explanation. "I'm truly honoured to meet you three," she then said to the Lake Trio. There were so many questions she could ask that she didn't even know where to start. How did the others do this seemingly so casual? Talking to Mythical and Legendary Pokémon. Looking at professor Bansing, he had the same body language as he had when talking to colleagues. How did he do that?
"You must have seen the world change quite a bit," she finally said as she turned her attention to the Lake Trio in front of her.

"It went well," Nethan said. "No feelings are hurt and she won't hate you if you two are just friends. And if you want my suggestion, don't date a child, like Niccia does. Young humans are confusing. I may not have met a lot of humans, but looking at the few I did, the older ones are much better capable of having a conversation. I once met a seventy-year-old woman and I suppose she was wise for human standards. That is what you should aim to date, if you fancy dating humans."

"Indeed," Ilios said. "Ho-oh is intimately involved with colour and light."
It was impossible to say how Arceus felt about the suggestion, as always he didn't show what he was thinking.

"That is one of my Pokémon, yes," Andy said. "My first actually. We met when he was eating from my honey sandwich."
The smile on his face when he thought back to that was full of warmth. Meeting the Caterpie had been one of the best things that had happened in his life.

One thing I like about this RP is imagining how Pokémon would perceive normal human things. I'm writing the next post and Lytse is assuming humans like paperwork, because they do it all the time.

Edit: also, Nethan should definitely start a relationship consultancy. The way he is of service to Gavin shows he knows what he is talking about.
