three ≈ [dream]

[cascadetomboy.livejournal.com]

[You know, Misty only gets focus on her dreams when she's drowning, so this is a little bit preferable. And it isn't in a void with weird green smoke; it's pretty nice. It's underwater!

You can still breathe, don't worry. You can swim around in this vibrant ocean, checking out all of the sweet sea-life. Sea-life as in water Pokémon. All of them are here somewhere, even if it isn't regionally accurate, because she'd know all of them regardless. They're all very friendly too, and happy.

If you swim around for a little while more, there will be a red-haired young girl swimming in a cute bathing-suit, laughing joyfully with an Azumarill at her side.]

To sate you bloodlust?

[Oh now she remembers you fully and you look really scared. Misty swims a little farther down and looks concerned.]

Austria, what's wrong?

apparently

[She's still shivering, completely terrified. She opens her mouth to try to explain but can't seem to form the words. A Mantine swims by and she jumps, giving a bit of a startled scream, and cowers behind the rock again.]

[Whoa, what scared her- oh it was a Mantine. She's not getting this.]

Are the Pokémon startling you?

[pluckmygstring.livejournal.com]

K-Kind of...

[It's more like being underwater with creatures that resemble marine animals swimming around scare her senseless because she has a phobia, but talking that much to articulate that isn't possible. She shivers and clings to the rock.]

... Anything I can help out with?

Oh, okay! I'll see what I can do, um... [Looks around. There is nothing but sea all around.]

We can try swimming up to the top?

[pluckmygstring.livejournal.com]

W-Worth a shot.

[Holds her hand out to Austria.]

Here. So we can both keep track of each other.

[pluckmygstring.livejournal.com]

[Takes her hand, her grip possibly a bit too tight.]

A-Alright.

[cascadetomboy.livejournal.com]

[Smiles gently, and then looks up determinedly.]

Let's go! [starts swimming upwards.]

[She continues holding tightly to Misty's hand, her other arm and legs working at full force. She needs to get to the surface as soon as possible before her phobia makes her pass out from terror.]
