    Muse A (Lunar-Peacle's character) is an artist who is struggling to find inspiration. Muse B (WainGuy's character) is also an artist, but one who prefers to keep their talent hidden. While exploring town/the city/(insert ideal location) one afternoon, Muse A stumbles upon Muse B's private studio. It takes some maneuvering and a lot of trespassing, but Muse A finds their way in. Once inside of the other artist's creative space, Muse A discovers the most amazing work they've ever seen. All of Muse B's pieces evoke a strong emotion in Muse A and they can't put their finger on why. Against their better judgment, Muse A hangs around the studio in hopes of meeting the artist. Muse B returns some time later, displeased to find Muse A. There's a reason why Muse B's work can touch Muse A as it does; Muse B has the unique ability to recreate their subject's memories in vivid detail, without knowing so much as a first name. Muse B can't turn it off, or choose what memories they create, good or bad. It's a power they've had since they were young and they don't want anyone to find out and exploit it. Frankly, Muse B finds their gift to be a burden.

    The setting is Altomore.
    The Venice of the Pokémon world,
    where the movie Heroes took place.

    Daniel came to slowly, a pounding headache throbbing fiercely between his ears. Oh sweet honey peach tea on a stick! This was something he really did not need! He grunted as he pushed himself up, he noted Aster and Kaylee sleeping at the end of his bed, Abby was sleeping beside him and Tony was sun bathing, lounging in the space between his bed and the sliding door that opened to a balcony.

    Abby cooed as she crawled into his lap, petting his cheeks in sympathy as she felt an echo of his pain. Gosh, he wished he didn't have these killer headaches. He leaned over and fumbled for his pills, his left hand cradling the Ralts. He grabbed a bottle and squinted at the label. Yep, that's the right one. He popped it open and dry swallowed two pills.

    "Gah, that's nasty," he shared, squinting at Abby who cooed again. He petted her on the head before he scooted off his bed. He needed to shower.

    Octavia Portillo // Tavia
    {Female} {24} {Nephelai, Linus, Leia, Fritz}

    As the sea breeze played about, a woman was staring at a blank canvas atop a rocking boat. Octavia was getting fed up. Even listening to music was unable to cook up a piece of art. She had been told by a handful of family and friends to take time off for a vacation, in hopes of getting some ideas.

    Whilst she kept most of her Pokémon in their respective Pokeballs, there was one exception. Nephelai was perched atop her mistress' easel, looking down to her with a sympathetic look in her eyes. The woman looked at the Swablu and stroked its face. "We'll be there soon, don't worry." It was all she said, as Octavia was running out of counters to her Pokémon's expression, thus having abruptly changed the subject.

    Packing up her canvas and easel, she took a look at the horizon, with Nephelai perching on her head. They were arriving at Altimare soon, their destination. The architecture was beautiful, as she had heard of. And she hoped that it would rekindle her inspiration.

    Daniel pulled on his jacket, the Diesel M15 Bomber jacket he loved, checking his pockets for his keys before he pulled on his canvas bag and walking out the door. His Pokémon were tucked away in their pokeballs on his belt, so everything he needed was on him. The door slammed causing him to flinch and swear when the door across from his swung open.

    "Howdy neighbour ol' pal!" cheered the ever cheerful Mrs Brighton.

    He grumbled, "Good morning. I will be leaving now." Swiftly locking his door and turning away from her.

    "But wait," she whined, thin and high, the sound grating against his ears and not helping his slowly subsiding headache, "we haven't talked in awhile!"

    "If only it could've gone on longer," he mumbled before he looked over his shoulder, "I don't have the time, goodbye Mrs Brighton!" He walked away quickly, ignoring her annoying voice as he sped down the stairs.

    Seriously, if he hadn't paid off his mortgage he'd move. Maybe he should save up and get another apartment somewhere else? But Mrs Brighton was just renting; maybe she'll move away! He couldn't wait for that day then, something else to look forward to.

    He avoided a lovey-dovey couple, making a small noise of disgust as they gave each other goo-goo eyes, and took a left, moving away from the busier canals. His hands itched so he went off looking for the ideal place to satisfy it.

    "Thank you, sir." She said as she paid the boat captain before she stepped down onto the jetty once the boat has been anchored.

    "You're welcome, miss. Enjoy your trip!" the captain merrily replied and waved at her as she walked down the jetty.

    Nephelai chirped happily as she viewed the surroundings, flapping around. Octavia smiled at her Pokémon as they walked along. As they reached the streets, she looked at the map she had brought along with her. "What do you say we go get something to eat first?"

    A cheerful chirp was the response she received from Nephelai. She strode along, admiring the architecture. The streets were merry, and people flocked around the canals. It was a typical city feeling, but there was something more to it. She noticed there were more social interactions between people in this city compared to the other cities she had been to, where the noises were from vehicles and tar roads.

    Smiling to herself, she looked around for a nearby place, a bakery or so, to get some food, for the trip had made her slightly hungry.

    He sat down, brushing at the leaves that littered the bench. This seemed like an ideal spot. He couldn't see the ocean or any canals so that was deep enough and there were barely any people walking around; it was quite isolated and it looked like a great place. He released his Pokémon and pulled out his sketchbook. He smiled as Aster and Kaylee sprawled in front of him, relaxing and bathing each other in the warmth of the sun while Abby chose to sit beside him, peering at his sketchpad.

    Tony huffed before bumping his snout on his head before he flopped down sun bathing. He was an affectionate crocodile although he loved being lazy.

    Daniel was glad that it was his day off from the museum, it would've sucked if he had had to drag himself to work with his headache pounding away.

    (You picked a really good place, I had to watch that movie again to make sure I get the feeling of it. And goodness, this is pathetically short)

    Octavia Portillo // Tavia
    {Female} {24} {Nephelai, Linus, Leia, Fritz}

    After purchasing a bun or two, she decided to go looking for her hotel. The baker had given her instructions as where she was going to head to. While walking down, Nephelai nibbled some of the bread from her, earning a playful scowl from Octavia. "Don't do that~!"

    However, the more she walked, the more she found herself in a labyrinth of alleyways. She was almost away from the noise of swishing canal water and the lively chatter of the townsfolk. Her Swablu was pretty quiet as well, looking around for probable exits. Octavia wheeled around to choose which path to take, and decided on the alley to the left, the bird Pokémon fluttering behind her.

    "I hope this works..."

    Daniel hummed, starring at his sketchpad. "Meh, that's enough for today," he stated, packing up his utensils and supplies. Tony had wandered off to the left of the small square, rubbing his scales against the building's rough brick walls, contentment obvious on his face. Aster and Kaylee were playing, Abby riding on top of Kaylee like a small knight. He smiled fondly at them.

    He stood up and stretched, his joints popping. "Okay guys, time to get on back."

    Tony rumbled, walking over and knocking his snout against his head before retreating back into his Pokéball. Daniel looked at the other three and saw that they were content to follow. "Alright ladies and young lad," he looked at Aster who preened, "forward march!"


    Kaylee wiggled in glee before she elegantly marched forward, head held high and proud. Aster was right on beside her, tail swaying in the air while little Abby just cheered in sheer joy. Gosh, these guys were adorable!

    The woman was getting as frustrated as she did, just a moment ago. The more turns she took, she seemed to get even more lost. "This is frustrating." she mumbled, as she moved on. A few steps after, she heard people talking and more footsteps. She had arrived at a square with a fountain. An elderly man standing outside a flower shop looked at her. "Hello, miss. May I help you?"

    Octavia blinked at the elderly man, before asking a question, against her better judgement on asking strangers all too quickly. "Do you know where this hotel is?" She pulled out a notepad with some writing of the hotel's name.

    Upon reading the notepad, she smiled brightly. "Why, yes." The man pointed out some directions to her. "Just head down the right alley and keep right all the way till you reach a small bridge. When you see a blue signboard with the name of the hotel, you have arrived."

    "Thank you very much, sir." Octavia nodded in gratitude, Nephelai chirping happily. She walked down the directions he had pointed out, somewhat a little uneasy.

    Daniel was relaxed, his Pokémon were happy, his headache was gone and so was that itch in his hand. Everything was good.

    He walked down the alley, hands in his pockets and keeping an eye on his Pokémon who were happily playing in front of him. He also had to make sure he didn't accidentally step on either of the cat Pokémon. Abby was the most cheerful, feeling the joy humming in the air.

    Daniel was actually mentally health due to the small emotional Pokémon, without her he would have suffered a lot more and gone completely off his rocker. He grateful for each of his Pokémon. Tony his first guardian, who grew up beside him and protected him from others that wished to harm him, regardless if they were human or Pokémon.

    He noticed a fluffy bird in the sky. He was puzzled, Swablu weren't common in Altamore unless someone overseas brought their's over... A tourist's maybe?

    Nephelai was still fluttering about and noticed a man with a few Pokémon from afar. Panicking, she dove back down to Octavia's side, earning a surprised look from her.

    The walk was silent, eeriely so. Octavia was starting to feel a little uneasy, and hence released two Pokémon from her arsenal.

    "Come on out, you guys." Out from the Pokeballs came Linus the Linoone and Leia the Leafeon. The both of them looked up at Octavia, as though questioning her on what was going on. Offering bits of her bread to the two Pokémon, the three of them continued their way through.

    Linus sniffed around as he walked in front of Octavia, while Leia kept watch behind her. The Swablu was once more perched on Octavia's head. The alleys seem to last forever, branching out into many more passages. Apparently, when a friend told her about this place, said friend forgot to mention about labyrinth-like alleys.

    He watched in astonishment as the fluffy bird dive bombed away. Huh, must be shy. He continued strolling, enjoying the quiet and peace. He scowled as he though about how the tranquility would soon be replaced by bustling people and chattering children. Ugh.

    Don't get him wrong, he didn't hate all people. Just most of them and he wasn't allowed to hate people at work since they were visiting the museum for history and all that.

    He wasn't really paying attention so he followed his Pokémon down the alleyways. Well they knew the way home anyway.

    Octavia's eyes studied the architecture once more, to distract herself from the endless walking she had to do, in a place she does not even know well. Nephelai took off into the air again to see if the hotel was nearby. She spotted the man again and dove back down towards Octavia's level.

    "Any longer?" Octavia asked, with a slight hopeful glimmer in her eyes, only to become crestfallen by Nephelai's shaking of her head. Sighing a little, she looked at her watch. It had been approximately two hours that she had been lost in the alley labyrinth.

    Leia was looking up at Octavia, before deciding to walk a little down the opposite direction. After greeting the shadows of the alley they left, she decided to make her way back down her original path.

    Daniel stopped, a pressure building behind his left eye. He sighed in resignation. This again. He knew soon someone - or it'd be him - would stumble into his path. Great, wonderful, fantastic! Just what he needed! (He hoped they understood it was all in complete sarcasm, if not then they needed to get their head and eyes checked . Sarcasm was dripping off of those words!)

    He called to his tiny group, seeing that they'd wandered off the path home. "Come on fellas, it's this way," he stated, tiredly.

    The group wilted, taking in his worsening appearance. And they were all doing so well earlier.

    Octavia was feeling more and more uneasy. All she wanted was to just get to her hotel and unload her things. Walking around aimlessly with her bags, she kept on. Almost all the enthusiasm on all the beautiful architecture and atmosphere of the city had been washed away by her feeling of exasperation at herself for getting lost.

    Leia nudged Octavia's leg and looked up towards her with a worried look. Forcing a smile, she petted the Leafeon affectionately.

    She sighed as she walked on, as Linus looked back towards her every so often to make sure she was following. Bringing out her Pokeballs, she called the two Pokémon back in.

    Daniel walked slowly, the throbbing in his eye getting worse. Aster and Kaylee walked closer to him, their warm bodies brushing against his legs. He wasn't looking as he stumbled around the corner only to hit someone.

    "Dammit!" He shouted in shock, his bag falling off his shoulder to thump onto the floor. He flailed before a well placed push sent against the building. There was a bright flash as the pain increased, whiting out his vision before the throbbing slowly dulled away.

    He blinked rapidly, sensing Aster in front of him, Kaylee pressed against him and Abby gripping onto his sleeve. "Shh, hey, it's okay," he soothed, reassuring them that he was alright. He pushed himself away from the building and looked at the person, scowling, "You'll have to excuse me. I wasn't quite right as rain."

    She was told by the florist to keep right until she reached the hotel. There was but only one way to turn. As she turn, she felt a force collide into her, as she dropped her bags and canvas. "Ahh!!" She gasped as she hit the ground.

    Nephelai looked over at the other person with a surprised chirp, flapping her way towards him curiously. Getting up to her feet, Octavia brushed dirt off her clothes with an exasperated sigh. At his words, she responded. "Right. Sorry that I didn't see you coming." The tone of her voice was at a thin line between being civil and being civil in dishing out pent up negative feelings at this particular person that she never knew. As such, she gathered her items and walked past him like nothing happened.

    His scowl deepened as the woman brushed past him, her Swablu still hover nearby. Definitely a tourist's pet and that woman was the tourist. He turned on his heel and called out to her, "Hey! Are you lost, tourist? I'm pretty sure I can help you if you want."

    He picked up his canvas bag, thanking Abby quietly as he studied the tourist.

    "I'm pretty sure I can help you if you want."

    Her footsteps froze at his words, as she turned back to the person who spoke. At long last, Arceus showered mercy on her. Sheepishly, she replied. "Yes, I'm..kind of lost...all I have been seeing for the last two hours were brick walls." Despite previous ill consequences of lowering her guard in front of stranger males on the street, she felt that it was safer to rope in his trust, for she was in a foreign city and there was absolutely no one else she knew.

    Nephelai happily pecked the male's cheek before perching back on Octavia's shoulder. Looking back at the cheerful bird, she smiled and responded. "Thank you, sir. If you don't mind, do you know where this place is?" She retrieved the same notepad and unfolded it for the other to see. Her eyes then traveled to the Ralts and Delcatty, and she gave them a small wave.
