_{[Hello Johto! I suppose you're all fairly used to people getting their souls stolen by now huh? Well, Miguel isn't the most technology-savvy person on earth so he is blissfully unaware of what Shedinjas can do.]

[Which is why he dragged along Tulio to a nearby Route in order to look at them because Miguel is friend to all the animals Pokémons.]

[For the sake of why-the-hell-not he's also recording this, which basically means he turned on the 'gear and handed it to his Gabite. Said Landshark is for the record handling the 'gear fairly awkwardly, having no hands and all that.]

[What you can see at the moment is Miguel, dragging Tulio by his sleeve, and approaching a Shedinja. Whoops.}

I don't trust them. They're CREEPY.

Oh but come one Tulio! Just one look! We've never seen these things before!

Oooh no. You're on your own, buddy.

_{[Aaaand while Tulio linefaces at a reasonable distance from the Shedinja, Miguel sneaks closer to it. And startles it. And as it flees, you all can guess what happens.]

[There's a pretty sickening thud as Miguel's lifeless body hits the ground, and the feed cuts out as the upset Gabite scrambles to his trainer]}_{(ooc: Blue is Tulio, Red is Miguel. Tags will come from Tulio (and a bewildered Gabite))}

_{[Hooray, bonding.]}

Yeah. Yeah, you're right. _{[He stands to just ... regard Miguel. Despite appearances he's not too heavy, which is a good thing, but he'll definitely still need Envy's help to manage this, so he looks at him with a gesture all 'a little help, maybe?']

[And, also ... voice goes much more hesitating at this. He doesn't really want to talk about it but he needs the info.]

[Their souls ... seriously...]}

So this- thing-- how many did it happen to?

[Envy just nods and moves to help carry Miguel. He really doesn't feel like being difficult at all right now.]

I don't know, there's been Gear messages about it all day. Nanao was the first I saw; I sent Xerxes and Juliet to get her.

After that, I was just looking for you guys. [And France, who he hadn't found or seen, much to his sudden terrified revelation. But he holds that back for now because he can't just drop Miguel and run off.]

_{[Seriously. If you do that, Tulio will be strangling you.]

[But -- yeah. Tulio chews on his bottom lip while heaving Miguel up, grabbing him by the arms and just lifting as well as he can. Heavy bastard.]}

How, uh, how is she? Do you know?

_{[Wow, Tulio cares for people. He sounds genuinely wary, asking, like he doesn't really want to know. Sinking in, this is. Slowly.]}

[Once Tulio has Miguel's arms, Envy goes to lift his legs so that they can start carrying him back into town. As they walk, Envy stays alert, looking around for any more of those damn bugs.]

I don't know, they haven't gotten back yet. But she fell when it got her, and I think she was injured...the Center should be able to fix that, though.

[He thinks. He hopes.]

Miguel didn't get hurt, right?

_{[Tulio is mirroring that, keeping an eye out for the ghost bugs even as he's got most of his attention either on Miguel or Envy, as he talks. And Tulio is paying attention.]}

No, I don't think so, with the rain ... _{[The ground's pretty soft, so it shouldn't be too bad. Clears his throat, frowns lightly.]} He's been through worse. Well, aside from the whole soul-thing, but that's a minor setback.
