Welcome to Hex Maniac Quest.
https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?tags=hex%20maniac%20prison

You are Gurie Niamic, a cool beauty put in jail for crimes you did not commit over drama you do not deserve. You are holding onto that story despite the fact you almost tore a hole in reality twice in one day. Because surely the police would've brought it up in court if they knew all the other times this happened.

Fortunately for you, some idiot minister somewhere decided that Prisons were too much for their criminals, and now you are in Rose's Academy for the Apologetic, which is a school prison. This isn't to be mistaken for a Prison School, as there are no boobs. It's really weird and when you asked the principal why she said you had a active imagination. Also this is Orre and there are shadow pokemon still because of a sinister company... and you might be haunted?

To honor your dear father Roger "Rude" Niamic, you have formed a gang based on your dad's gang, Team Lazy (2)! As per your Criminal Constitution you have vowed to only use your potent ghost powers to avoid work, and never do anything you absolutely don't have to, and eat as many snacks as you can. You will work as hard as you can to be hardly working, that's on the motto, your dad made t-shirts one time.

You also have pokemon! This is a pokemon game. These include:

>Gremlin the Impidimp: A SHADOW POKEMON who seems to have no personallity, what little we see of it seems to be... pretty mean! Hes VERY loyal to Gurie, and almost ready to be purified! If only a purification machine or divine rock existed in prison

>Sandman the Sandygast: A self professed crime lord who swore featly to Gurie after she overpowered him in a astral battle somehow. Sandman seems really powerful! His Scorching Sands hit like a truck and because of their unique relationship Gurie can take his shovel and wade into battle herself! Just like that ninja.

>Jabberwocky the Trapinch: The only henchman Sandman had, hes spunky and unknown. Want's to be a dragon.


Friends:

>Carrie: A one armed upperclassman who admires your father. Has a lot of flying types, all of them are cute.. Seems to act tougher then she might be? You've never seen her fight. Likes movies.

>Tom: Tom isn't their real name. A perverted nerd who killed a man. Tom seems to be the smart one, probbably by process of elimination instead of actual skill. Got kidnapped by a crossdressing pervert.

>Sir Planchett: A crazy lady who isn't aware she's on your team. She thinks she's a knight who was appointed by Zacian to PERSONALLY save the world.

>Nimrah Diggory: Known as the nurse, warden nad biology teachy here with the alias Proffessor Noah. Secretly he's your adoptive uncle and works for your dad as one of his elite Number Ones, secretly secretly he's a ultra beast here with a bone to pick with the Aether Foundation. You arent actually sure why hes in the school.

You get your dumb beans and rice, even with the hot sauce. Even though Alolan hot sauce tastes weird.

It's not mere penny pinching that dictates your choice though. The simple fact of the matter is, the last time you met this woman, you did not even get to eat it.

Sunny Day, the Freshman Class leader, and the closest thing you have to this school to a mortal enemy/archrival. (Sure I mean, Archer's kind of annoying but he didnt shove lasagna in your face)

Granted you only had one conversation with Sunny but shes so... cheery! And insane...

AND SHE BOUGHT THE DONUTS WHAT THE HELL? You gawk at your rival, casually snacking on the alolan snacks. You know they are supposed to be called Malasadas or something but to you, they are donuts! And she got the whole box, and shes sharing then with those crazy minions of hers.

She meets your eyes and you can see her smile tense, or maybe you are projecting. However she waves at you, with that same lethal optimism she has before... and not the "so nice it hurts" kind. Its more "slasher smile."

"Hi Gurie~" She tilts her head. "How've you been? Popped any new holes into space time."

"Well... yes!" You nod, "I did in fact... why?" You smirk. "Did you want to see it?"

"I did!" She laughs. "I wanted to see you get in trouble so badly... but I have a job keeping weeds out of the garden." She tries to wink but since she has only one eye it doesn't really work.

"We are all weeds Sunny, it's a jail."

"I prefer dandelions to Roses in my garden, only one has thorns." She grins. "I bet you only like gravestones and bad poetry."

"I'll have you know my taste in poetry is phenomenal." You eye her guards. "Can we take this somewhere... private?"

She sputters, for once rattled. "What like a date?"

Now your sputtering.

Fucking Arceus. Rolled a crit success when voting for Gurie to be a sputtering mess. Can I get some support to add this to the Gurie canon? You have a chance of getting Gurie to kinda-maybe agree to take you on a date if you call it one, and it turns out she’s actually pretty cute if it happens.

I wanted Sunny Day to fit a unique position as Freshman leader, and the sunflower showcases her cheery position and her name.

More importantly, I wanted to warn you all that ghost types have good reason to fear grass types. They are ancient enemies.

Already voted, but I still remember her saying she wasn’t a pervert, she was just going to break some bones. She’s pretty hardcore under that sunny disposition.

If the crit vote doesn’t win, I hope the rumors of the “Sunshine General and her Phantom Princess” never stop swirling around the prison/school. The crack ship both participants are adamant doesn’t exist, and that only makes the rumor mill spin faster.

You sputter. "N-no! It's not a date! I am looking for information! Important secret information..." You press the tips of your index fingers together. "I mean... if you want to call it a date... I guess you can, I mean you seem pretty confident and I like the way you smile when implying you are going to hurt people... But... we can do that... after the secret meeting? Maybe?"

Sunny stares at you.

You stare back.

She keeps on staring at you until you start to blush and then she looks away. So you think you win. "Yeah... yeah okay! Secret meeting, that's fine! I am supposed to talk to the freshman! And well... you are a freshman..." She grabs a donut and gets up. "Follow me."

She takes you to a nearby hallway, and then a small crevice under the staircase in that hallway.

She grins at you, "So.... secret time! What do you want?"

You back up a bit. "Um... Sunny? You are a little..."

"Hmmm?" Sunny leans closer. "Little what?"

"...nevermind!" You fish for a pokeball, letting out Gremlin. "Look! Shadow pokemon! Huh! Weird right?"

"Im?" Gremlin stares blankly at Sunny who steps back from you, staring at Gremlin in confusion. "...How did you get this one?"

"Miror B? Isn't that how you got yours?" You raise a eyebrow as she shook her head.

"No, I gave this one to Miror B." She scratches her head. "Me and the rest of the Daylight Militia have been working with him to scrounge up Shadow pokemon to give to him. And then he hands them out to better people." She chuckles. "I guess that's you now huh." She flicks Gremlin's nose. "This one seems to be doing... well as well as any shadow pokemon can do."

You frown, squatting down to Sunny's level as she continues to boop your pokemon. "Wait Miror is in charge of pokemon distribution right? If he's not the one bringing in the Shadow pokemon... who is?"

Sunny shrugs. "That's for the detectives to figure out. Im sure the Perfects and others all have their theories. Maybe pokemon are just turning shadow because of dark magic. Maybe the Principal is bringing them in. Maybe theres a secret evil team thats smuggling them in. Or maybe it's not related to us at all. Our pokemon suppliers is Aether, and their rescues are filled with mistreated pokemon and excriminal "resues". Maybe they just dump the defective ones here in the prison, with the rest of us trash." She turns to you and grins. "I mean we all have our reasons we got thrown in here, maybe Gremlin does too."

"But..." You frown. "Isn't there a purification chamber? Holy stones? Why not use those? Why toss in perfectly good pokemon with thieves and gang leaders."

"Well maybe we aren't meant to get out either." She shrugs. "Maybe they don't have the psychic or shadow scouts to see that these are shadow pokemon and just consider nonrehabilitory." She chuckles. "Or maybe it's a giant conspiracy! Who's to say! Who's to say!"

Ah, now I see what was weirding me out. She’s indirectly calling herself trash and suggesting she doesn’t deserve to get out.

Yeah, I’ll stick with offering a hug out of confusion. I mean, we’ve nearly caused two world-ending calamities and we’re still fine. I’m not sure Gurie can “get” self-loathing for doing something wrong to the extent she’d call herself trash. But she can try and offer low-effort help.

You... aren't sure how to respond to that... so you simply don't.

"So..." You rub the back of your head. "Bayleef right? Isn't he a shadow pokemon or something? How come he's so cheery?"

She looks up at you surprised. "How did you know? Shadow pokemon are almost undetectable from normal pokemon, especially a shadow pokemon that was cured... is it a psychic thing?"

You look down, technically speaking Mimikyu was the one who told you... but you CAN use your dolls... so it wasn't REALLY a stretch. "Yeah! I just have cool powers like that, Hex Maniac thing you know how it is." You chuckle nervously. "Who else would know if a pokemon was... spirited?"

"...Wait is that a pun?"

"Maybe? Was it funny?" You press your fingers together as Sunny nods.

"Yeah! Pretty slick there ghosty... Okay! I can show you how to purify your Shadow pokemon... IF you do something for me?"

"No." You reject it immediately. "That's too open ended, you could make me work forever." You cross your arms in a scowl. "I HATE work."

"Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease! It won't be much! You just have to help me find some shadow pokemon and then I'll show you my secret and everyone wins." She grins. "Especially the shadow pokemon.~"
You notice her smile never leaves but it, relaxes. You keep seeing it curve upward... but never down.

Maybe she only does it when you are looking, maybe she simply shifts between positive and manical glee... maybe you are just bad at faces.

No need to tell her the Gurie method.
And we can always blackmail her for cake later (well uh, once we get actual blackmail material).

>>5577703
This isn’t the Tyrant Queen thread, so I will not be engaging in blackmail!

I will instead demand cake upfront as part of the payment because Gurie is apparently sustained on sugar and was a spoiled princess before prison turned her into a hardened gang leader.

>>5577708
>no blackmail
Aw but that's no fun
But fair enough about the immediate need for sugary sweets, that goes without saying.

>Tyrant Queen thread
We're the princess of a prison gang, so we're kinda the same deal? I guess?

>>5577716
I mean, blackmail is nice. I just struggle to wrap my head around Gurie having the patience for something that long-term rather than just beating people up with ghost powers or making demands.

Kind of, but I don’t think Gurie would want to be Queen Gurie. Queens have to actually rule the realm. Princesses just get to eat snacks and look cute.

You nod. "Okay... fine. For Gremlin... but I will need to use a doll of course, my hex mania is dollmancy. It needs dolls."

Sunny tilts her head. "Don't you just point and create portals at things?"

"Do you... want me to create a hole in reality?" Sunny shakes her head at this. "Then I will need the doll."

Sunny nods. "Okay that's fine. You need me to get one?"

Was that a option? Hmmm if so then... "No, I have a special one. But I will need cake."

"...cake?"

You nod enthusiastically. "For the ritual. It's a nonstarter, it can't be done without cake. Spirits need to be appeased... and they prefer to be appeased with strawberry."

"...Are you sure that it's not YOUR spirit you are trying to appease?" She waggles her eyebrows at you. Aggresively some may say!

"Wh-What no! That's... psh. What? Here I am trying to rescue a pokemon and you think I am just going to use it to solicit some sweets?" Your tummy rumbles at your excuses.

"...Are you hungry?" Sunny blinks as you look away.

"No... that was the... rumble of scientific triumph..." Your belly grumbles again.

Sunny looks down at her half eaten Malasada. "Do you... want my Malasada?"

I’m hesitant since it’s only half of one and I feel “ravenous boar” isn’t the look Gurie wants… but it’s here and we still need ritual cake later for the spirits like Mimikyu so I’m good with a compromise.

Everyone makes Gurie out to be a danger, but give her sweets and don’t make her do work and everything will be fine! More people need to realize this.

You take the donut and devour it, its gooey, its sweet, its squishy and it's food.

"Thanks." You smile as you pick Gremlin up. "Well... I have to go actually eat my breakfast before school! I'll see you later today!" You wave goodbye. "Don't forget the cake! It's INTEGRAL to this!"

The rest of your breakfast is not as good. Its missing something that Malsada had... was it... love?

Probably not, this food is just bland. Well I mean it IS prison and they have points, you suspect they are incentivized to make the food bland.

Of course you can't just eat food and feel sorry for yourself forever, the school won't let you. There are classes! Things to give you a REASON to pity yourself.
And why SHOULDNT you pity yourself, you've taken so, so many classes.

And today... is the worst class of all.

It was worse then math, worse then history, worse then public speaking.

It was manual labor! Labor!!! And not even the cool kind where you get to go outside and pick up trash and see if you can find a pokemon or some uneaten candy! It was more gravel pit nonsense! They want you to break ROCKS

You have pretty sure that you have made very clear your position on hard work. And you arent even going to get something cool at the end of this.

Never the less, and in no small part because they would drag you screaming if you tried anything, you go, glumly.

Its hot outside, the sun is beating down, and the overseer is this gruff asshole whose named "Sargent Boss" like hes in the millitary! What a loser.

Next to you, working on the same patch of rock. is some scraggly Galarian dude, hes jacked and chatty, and you do not care for one of those things.

"Hey there squirt." The hammer falls, crushing a boulder. "Can't help but see you aren't putting your A-game into it."

You struggle to lift the sledge hammer they gave you, Sargent looking over as he chews his tobacco.

I’m tempted to ask if we can use Sandman’s shovel (and indirectly use him) to split the rocks instead. It’s not as physical, but I assume we’d still be running around and swinging anyway so it’s not effortless either. But I’d rather complain first before pleading.

You pout. "I am not putting my A game because the game is DUMB! This is just work!' You drag the hammer to a rock. "I am a Princess! I mean a witch! I mean a normal girl?" You frown. "Whatever I am, it's NOT some floozy with a hammer!"

The man chuckles. "Yeah, I don't think anyone is. At the start at least." The hammer goes down and crushes the rock. "You find a peace to it though, there's no one to fail."

You lift your own hammer, swinging the rock down and feeling it BOUNCE, not off your grip but your shoulders strain from the blow. "Why even carry these things! Cant you hurt someone with these."

He nods. "You sure can, and so can your pokemon, and the rocks, and many other tools at a wanna be murders disposal." The man shrugs. "I assume they expected it to be a calculated risk, with all the power that pokemon posses, mere murder is... almost quaint? I've never seen someone bother with it."

You have, little Tom whose probably off doing something fun like writing a book report or something.

"Hmm... tell you what." Your coworker scratches his beard. "You know there are other community service options, it's all sweatshop work, boiler plates, stitching clothing, the nine yards... If you do a good job here, I bet I can get Sargent to transfer you somewhere else?"

"...Really? How?" You frown. "You are just a prisoner like me... and if you could do that, why are you still here."

He shrugs. "I like helping people, and this beats the stress of my old job. I do hard work, this gravel goes to a public park somewhere to make a sandbox... after some more grinding I hope, and no one dies or starves because I took a break." He smiles. "Consider it the privledge of being a old veteran."

I refuse to acknowledge this heresy of “work hard to relax” spiel he’s giving. Even if it were true, thinking or vocalizing it would be implying that Team Lazy is wrong. We’re not wrong, they’re the ones who are wrong!

Ahem. Sorry, bit of a tangent.

We’d get a lot more done if we could put our powers into shattering the rocks. Can’t make it too easy though or Sargent won’t think we’re learning the right lesson. Pretending we’re Planny swinging a sword to destroy all these rocks seems like an acceptable compromise.

Can we go another day with holes in reality from doing basic tasks?

>>5580265
To be fair the team lazy motto is to Work hard to Hardly Work, but it mostly means to put in a lot of effort to avoid work, not to put in a lot of short term effort for long term relaxation.

>>5580656
Ah, thanks for the correction. So what he’s saying is correct by the letter of the motto, just probably not the spirit. The most insidious type of heresy.

You grumble. Stitching clothes IS better, but you do hate sweating... "Fine, I make dolls so maybe that will be easier." You take out a pokeball and toss out Sandman. "I can use my Sandyghast right? Hes got a shovel."

Sandman wiggles his sandy nubs at you and pick the shovel up without listening to the man. Something something "Thats lethal" blah blah "I can not condone" yatta yatta "Harms way" yap yap "Oh my Arceus"

You point the shovel at the rock and it lifts in the air.

You focus as sand spins around you and the rock falls... but not all at one, piece by piece, like the sands of a hourglass.

"Done!" You turn to the man and smile. "Whatsyourname I did it! Now I get to make dolls and stuff right?"

"...I said you can do shirts, but... yeah that's good enough. My name is Rhodes by the way nice to meet you... lady."

"Oh my name is Gurie." You frown. "That name is familliar... are you from Galar?"

He nods. "I get that a lot, and yes I am from Galar." He chuckles. "And if your Gurie you must be the Niamic lady right... Are you... okay?" He frowns. "You aren't like... losing your soul right? From the shovel that is."

>>5581868
From what I see, it’s part of Sandyghast’s lore. Uses the shovel to lure in children and possess them.

We’re not a child, ergo we’re immune. Or maybe it’s because we’re terrifying and have even more terrifying backers. Who knows?

You shake your head. "I lose my soul every day I have to work." You sigh. "This is just a small price to pay..."

You are actually fine, because Sandman isnt stupid enough to try anything on you after how you catched it.

But that gives you a idea. "So... if I keep working... can I work on dolls instead?" You point at a rock and it explodes. "See? I can get this done really quickly."

Rhodes scratches his beard. "Alright... yeah! Sure."

You zap another boulder. "Done. Nap time."

"But you still have a hour..."

"I worked smart, I dont need to work hard anymore. You raise your arms and a bed of sand form around you as you lie down. "Here." You point the shovel and zap another rock. "I did your work too, now you can nap as well."

"...Well I suppose I don't have any work to do." He yawns. "Alright." He lies on a rock and rests.

"So... Gurie. Your the mob leader right?"

"I... wouldn't say a mob." You frown. "It's more a sorority of slackers."

"Oh I meant no offense, I was straight as a arrow and what I ended up doing was horrible anyway." He sighs. "I put a lot of people in danger for my own pride. Some hero huh."

"Hero?"

"Nevermind... What I wanted to ask you was... you have followers, followers you haven't even paid.... what does it mean, to be a leader?"

I like the sentiment but Gurie isn't deep enough to fully understand this

>>5582238
I chalked it up in my head as Gurie getting a serious question while still worked up but entering relax mode. A state of mind that wouldn’t last more than a couple minutes at most.

I wouldn’t think she’d consider it deep though. It’s just a question with one answer, followed by another one when she realizes “shit not everyone is me that’s pretty useless uhhhh why did dad do it then”.

Any coolness or deep thought in the answer is incidental, not intended.

You frown at the question. "Well how should I know? I just started this like... on tuesday. Before that I was just rotting in cells and before THAT I was you know... just Gurie." You shrug. "Not some leader of a prison gang or the mastermind behind the Reaper incursions or whatever they accused me of in prison. I ate food and played games in my room. Sometimes me and Piper goofed off, but I barely left my house. I didn't need to no one expected me to. My dad's from Team Lazy, I had a trust! I didn't even have to waste time in College."

"...Huh." You hear the frown in the voice, you turn to the man.

"What? You have a problem with improvising?"

"No... its just, your the daughter of a mob boss, and a snack empire... shouldn't there be expectations? Duties?" He turns to face you. "I mean... people were expecting things from you. How could you just... ignore all that."

You raise your eyebrow. "No one expected ANYTHING from me. I mean they probbably would've appreciated it, but Team Lazy isn't about just following my dad..." You think about it... and technically you guess it sort of is, I mean it is that for Carrie at least. "My Dad formed Team Lazy to get out of the rat race, this idea that just because something COULD be bigger it has to be... for instance, you know of Slacker Snappers right?"

He nods. "Those are your top sellers right? The cheese snack."

"Good... now who makes them?"

He frowns. "Your company does?"

"No... WHO makes them? Who actually invented the snack?"

"...Wouldn't it be... a bunch of people? With focus groups and the like?"

You shake your head. "Seven guys, John Smalls, his sister Sarah, Bob Jim, Mary Topp, my dad, and Gregor the Munchlax. John came up with the idea and did most of the work, Bob and Mary worked on packaging, my dad organized the taste tests and bought the equipment, and Sarah came up with all the flavors."

"And Gregor?"

You shrug. "He ate them all. Hes got a very discerning palette.... out of all of them only Mary and my Dad stayed with the company. Sure Gregor got bought out by the Poffin Network and now has a tv show but most of them just retired. Because they DID IT, they had a million dollar idea! They made the world a better place, or a place with slightly less bland food... and they didn't need to keep justifying their existence!" You wave a hand in the air. "We could've just kept paying them more, locking them into a contract so no one else could make our food, buy new factories, but for what? We could pay all our staff and pay them well, we had a rainy day fund... it was enough. We gave them the money they were due, and they went off to go paint or run food blogs. Our company doesn't NEED a heir, it doesn't need to go multinational, and if we do we can hire someone who is just into that."

"But all the workers are counting on you, what if the company goes under? What if profits slip?"

You shrug. "If profits slip we will find something else.... what were we talking about? Oh yeah leadership."

"So yeah... I didn't need to be a leader, for the company or the gang, it'd not be Team Lazy, sure they may need those roles but that didn't mean it had to be me. And I wasn't going to just take the role just cause I could... so I mostly slacked off and practiced different things."

"...Huh."

"But now I am in jail for being my father's daughter so I guess I am going to go be a leader, if your damned if you do damned if you don't... might as well do!" You toss Sandman back his shovel. "I'm sure I'll figure it out one day. I just have to keep on keeping on... right until I can stop."

The man doesnt say anything after that... and well that gives you more napping time so you just sleep until your hours up.

"Bye Rhodes! Don't forget to transfer me! I'll curse you if you don't!" You skip off to you your next class...

>Cooking! You should be good at this! I mean... your a snack heiress.
>History You are just going to sleep through this class!
>Nothing! Community Service is a double period class so... your free!
>Home room! Meaning you get to talk to Nimrah again!

Meanwhile....

"So... yes I believe Gurie Niamic is in the wrong class." Rhodes says to Sargent, who salutes stiffly.

"Sir, the work isn't meant to be pleasant sir, it's meant to keep them tired and in line sir." The Foreman frowns. "We've been having secret bases and halfbaked breakouts, we need to keep the scum busy."

"Now now." Rhodes shakes his head. "That's rather meanspirited. Think of it like this, you can just disable her pokemon, make her do it the hard way like we are expected to... or we can make a lot of kids happy with some new dolls." He pats the teacher on the shoulder. "And the point of prison is to pay your debt to society... wouldn't it be better if that debt was paid in a way society actually benefits? Less work for all of us."

The man scoffs. "When did you stop caring about less work sir? You ran us all ragged back in the day."

"And look at all the things we did... or didn't." Rhodes sighs, tossing the helmet back in his locker. "We wouldn't have a energy crisis if we just spend less energy, maybe we need to cut slack in some spots..." He shrugs. "And I don't want to get cursed."

The foreman nods. "Very well Mr. Rose! I'll inform the Principal of your suggestion."

The Rhodes Rose, former chairman of Macro Cosmos sighs. "Please, I'm hardly your boss still, just Rhodes is fine."

"Yes sir."

Rhodes frowns.

I liked the insight and character development on Gurie too.

Considering we're using the free period to rest, maybe we could go find bedbug and sleep with him n-not that way! Besides being the headmaster's son, he's also our cute bug from another reality.

Practicing our spooky is tempting, but I completely forgot we even had family other than our dad so I feel the need to talk to them.

You already had a good nap, and fortunate it is because... its time to see your family!

You head over to the front of the jail, the guards directing you to a little cubical with a glass screen... and right across from it...

"Piper!" You whisper to the microphone, all smiles. "How are you?"

"I'm doing great!" She giggles, petting the Sobble on her shoulder. "Probbably better then you. I caught my first pokemon!" She picks up the sobble, the bright blue gecko whimpering as it faces you. "I named her after you!"

"Aw you named her Gurie?"

"No!" She grins. "Her name is Butthead."

"Hey!" You pound your side of the desk. "That's very rude! What are you going to do if you get famous and they have to write articles about you and butthead winning a tournament?"

"Gloat!" She grins placing Sobble on her shoulder. "You seem..." She frowns a bit. "What's the word... Okay?"

"Should I not be?"

"...I mean... aren't you in prison?" She frowns. "You always had me and Suzie taking care of you... and dad, and Olga, and the rest of Dad's friends.... and Snooze!"

"Mmmmmmm..." Piper whistles looking away.

"P-piper... I'm good at magic, your supposed to say yes!" You lean forward. "Say yes sis your amazing."

"B-but Sis... you only use magic to get out of chores and cheat in games."

"It's not cheating, its advanced strategy."

"Sure but... what spells do you actually know."

"Um, first of all, all of them... I know the hiding snacks in a doll spell, the cool 'is someone cursed' doll moodring, I know how to curse perverts, and I know how to ask spirits to do my chores for me.... oh and I know how to accidentally rip open rifts in reality..."

"Sis that's only five spells! And one of them is a accident!"

"But they are the only spells I want!" You cross your arms.

"What about Bubblemancy! Channeler stuff! Sealing spirits away in dolls!" Your sister protested. "CLOSING rifts?"

"I closed one! I had to just punch the giant lizard and it went away! Can't I just keep punching him?"

"What if he DUCKS?"

You frown... you didn't really think about that. "Why... is there a lizard in the rifts anyway?"

"I don't knooooow." Piper slumps in her seat. "I'm not a hex maniac! I'm just spunky! Isn't that your job."

"Since when?"

"Since now!" You smirk at your sister. "And you can't stop me because you aren't in jail!" You stick your tongue out.

"Piper... if we don't know who that snake is, or why it's stuck in every rift I make... what if it's not... I don't know.... maybe it's just weird?" You wave a hand in the air. "I mean... look at me!

"...What was that last part?" Piper frowns. "You know what Suzie says about dating."

"I said psychopathic flower ladiers and nothing else. Look this isn't the point! If I'm framed! And Tom... you haven't met Tom but trust me, is just a stupid dork, and Planny is some loony knight... what if Snakey is just... a normal perverted ghost snake?"

"..." Piper sighs. "Why are you asking me? I'm like thirteen, it's YOUR snake, you go kiss it or whatever."

"Wh-wha? I don't want to kiss it! I just find it weird!"

"Gurie wants to kiss a ghost.~" Piper sings, mocking you with her really bad singing voice.

"So..." You kinda don't want to ask this, you are dreading the answer... but you need to. "How's the family?"

Piper winces. "Dad is.... upset."

You imagine being turned into a hostage wouldn't PLEASE him but... "At... me?"

Piper shrugs. "I mean not mainly you... but I think a little? I mean, you never paid attention in disguise class and look what happened."

"Uuuuuuugh why would I need a disguise if I can just phase through walls?"

"Why are you in PRISON if you can phase through walls?"

"They had a better hex maniac!" You groan remembering the detective, a full blown witch lady, probbably trained on Mount Pyre and everything. You have power but mostly in the way a grenade does. Little miss witchy shut you down and put a damn sealing charm on your head before you knew what hit you. Hell you are pretty sure you almost died... which is weird cause sealing charms don't do that...

"But that's just it Gurie! You always just think everything will just magically go your way because your so special! But it DIDN'T!"

You frown. "....Sorry..."

Piper sighs. "Look, I'm sure we will find a way to get you out. There has to be a ACTUAL Fabric Bomber out there... and if we catch em... or just come up with a really good scheme... we can get you out! As long as Captain Cardilos stays out of our way."

Cardilos? That Diet Detective Dork. "He's STILL bothering us?"

Piper nods. "Yeah! Suzie almost stabbed his eyes out yesterday... shes not taking this well."

You imagine. Your nanny is... possessive. I mean you are 20 years old and she's still family. And stabby.

"Listen... Sis..." You look around. "There's stuff going on here... a lot of things. I have my own Team Lazy, I raided a gang! I have done more this week then I have done in... years maybe?"

"But that sounds dangerous!" Piper matches your whisper. "What if you get yourself killed?"

"I don't think I will... I might have been a little arrogant back in the day but this is bigger then me.... And I think..." You sigh. "I think I may have to see how this plays out."

"Wh-why? What possible benefit is there in being in prison!"

"It's not just a prison! It's a school, and the only school I've bothered to pay attention to.... Look I may not need to be saved from this castle... but I COULD use help... Especially if the stakes are as high as I think they might be..."

Piper sighs. "Fine sis! Be stupid. What do you want."

You smile. "Did you bring any snacks?"

~~~~~~~~

You walk down the hallway, happily noming down your family size bag of Slacker Snappers... and its your favorite type! Happy Birthday flavor! And its YOUR birthday it was referring to even...

You nom the cake tasting sweets as you walk into the dance hall.

"I'm snack." You mumble through the crumbs, looking around for Miror B... odd... where is his theme music.

"Oh dear." A haggard whisper echos from behind you, the door slamming shut... as the Principal pushes the door closed. The click of her cane echoes, her Runegirus floating behind her, your signature glowing among its sprawl of letters. "I am afraid Mr. Bacholden is busy... Personal matters." The woman smiles. "Fortunately that gives US plenty of time to talk doesn't it?"

The woman reaches into her sleeve and pulls out a pokeball. "Now... why don't you send that doll of yours out and we can have a little battle?"

You look at the Principal, look at the door she is blocking... her powerful pokemon looming behind her... and you put 2 and 2 together.

Sure you may have a "important job", but you have not been lucky with authority before... So you bolt. You rush past the principal and feel her hand round the back of your shirt.

You focus and phase out of reality, running straight through the hallway.

As you run the door flies open, the stone shambling form of the Principals partner hot on your heels.

There is a whistle and the pokemon lighting the hallway turn to face you, the Litwicks lights brightening as you duck fire spins.

"Do not panic Miss Niamic." You hear the Principal behind you but you dont SEE her. "You are only making this harder for yourself."

You may not be able to beat the principal... not that you were planning to try.... but magical old women are still OLD women. Your joints still work! You run towards your dorms as fast as you can.

You hear the Runegirous roar and you jump down a corner of the room before its Mean Look could paralyze you.

Its minutes of hell, in no small part because of the litwicks fire but you make it into the tower, slamming the door shut as you pant and wheeze.

"Someone is excited." Warden Snicker says from the communal couch, looking up from his newspaper. "Someone may wonder what has you so nervous... especially when you should be in detention?" The man frowns.

"Umnothingbye!" You run up the stairs, and then you walk up the stairs... then crawl....

Then you hear the door slam open behind you and you start running again, locking the closet door and hiding in your secret base.

You curl up in a ball, the world spinning around you. You have burned all to many calories and you MAAAAAY be having a heart attack (Well you are probbably just really tired).

And for... what? Are you just going to sit in this room hiding forever? Are you hoping the-

You feel the room grow cold. The Runegrious is here.

You stay very still, the lights flickering off as the creature outside creates a clamor, things falling down in the closet... but it doesn't find you...

Slowly the light bulb flickers back on and the room becomes warm and you can finally, finally, breathe again.

-Principal will just FORGET about you? Are you just digging your grave here?

>Yes, you are going to hide here forever. Maybe your pokemon can go scrongue food for you.
>...No... your gonna have to tell a teacher before someone breaks the wall down and just throws you in solitary... at least even longer then you will already be.
>You know what you can do this you are going to esc-

The door swings open, you hear the click of a cane. The Principal smiles down at you.
"Lively girl... But this is a prison dear. You only had so many places to go."

The hag tisks. "Very rude though to make a old lady rush."

You feel your eyes water as the principal looks down on you and you... just lose it.

Tears form down your face as your breath hitches, you dare not protest because you know your voice would be warbly and weak.

Theres a scraping sound as the woman sits in a chair near your bed. "My my my. You put up such a front and yet... here you are now." She taps her cane on the ground. "Are you not meant to be a gang leader? This is hardly the strong front a leader needs."

Your eyes are swimming so you can not see your Principal through the tears, her shape whirls and distorts around you, yet her voice is even, if not crackly as always. You've barely talked to her, yet she doesnt seem to treat your little stint and break down with any more severity as she did you signing that contract way back at the start of your stay here...

So that's how she found you. Maybe.

You continue to sob. "I don't WANT to be a leader..." You hiccup a bit. "I just have to. Everyone wants me to be some princess of crime and I am just doing my best but I'm not a criminal in the first place!" You rub your eyes. "And now you want to kidnap my pokemon for sinister means!"

"Miss Niamic, I am the cop here, I am not sinister!"

"Yes you are!" You wail sniffling. "I read the internet! And you use ghosts and are weird! This school is weird! And dumb!"

"...Gurie, I have no intention of relinquishing you from your pokemon shadow or not."

"...But you just said shadow! Which means you KNOW Mimikyu is a shadow pokemon and that's suspicious!" You hug Mimikyu, your "Doll" choking from your squeezes. "Your part of some weird conspiracy!"

"Miss Niamic." The principal speaks with the same patience as your mother. which is reluctant and with gritted teeth. "You did a comedy sequence with your 'secret pokemon' in front of my employees. You even said it had every shadow move in existence... why would it NOT be a shadow pokemon?"

"But he's not!" You protest. "Hes just quirky."

"...Gurie being 'quirky' is not the excuse you think it is."

You pout. "See your being ominous again!"

The woman sighs. "This is so much easier in the military."

You sniffle. "Okay... I'm okay... we can fight now... right Mimikyu."

Mimikyu makes a few hack sounds but eventually it clears up, it nods eagerly.

"Well, no need to get too fancy here... lets do it the old fashioned way." She lifts a ball. "I'll only use one pokemon, and I only am curious of one pokemon from you so..."

Mimikyu walks forward as she lets go of her ball.

You point at the Purugly. "Mimikyu! Weaken the Purugly first!"

Mimikyu draws its staff and emmits a ghastly wail, Puruglys steps getting dizzy from the attack.

The Purugly draws its claws out, scraping them against the floor until they get sharp. The Pokemon teeters a bit but its eyes seem... bored more then thrown off.

Maybe its just hard to confuse? Maybe its mocking you?
