derailer | Reverie - Ingo Palace

You step down the stairs labeled Nimbasa Line, and see a train already pulled up to the platform. Only the first car has doors open for you to enter. The fog is thick in here... it's hard to even see the train in front of you.

[GOES IN]

The train is a standard modern subway car. Above the seats, where advertisements would normally be in a train, there are instead photographs of different scenes, although the fog makes it hard to see them. They depict different scenes of people and Pokemon.

[...its an imaginary train with no train god to strike me down

going to find the rings and fuckin do some acrobatics on those like a feral bb]

NO ONE CAN STOP YOU!!!

Your new Pokemon pal, Serperior, lets itself out of its own Pokeball in order to watch you with excitement, though, letting out a noise.

[flips down!! YEAH!! ARMS IN AIR!!

then pets the Serperior]

Hello there! Help me protect these two, alright?

Serperior nods firmly, confident in itself.

Nice...

[checks out the pics and

lol pokes the one of Ingo about to punch another kid]

Nice!

As you poke it, you understand something:

Neither of you were accepted easily by the other kids, but you were much more accommodating of their expectations. At first you were irritated that Emmet didn't follow your lead. But over time, you came to think that it was the rigid expectations that were in the wrong. Once you had that feeling of justification behind you, it became harder to handle anyone who spoke a negative opinion of Emmet... Being overly emotional can spill out this way, too.

[ HERE WE GO!! ]

[ He steps over and squints, trying to see if he can get a better look. ]

The scenes depicted in the pictures include:
- A child Ingo carrying Emmet on his back, while Emmet has scraped knees.
- A young adult Emmet entering an apartment while hiding a knife behind his back.
- A stylish woman between Ingo and Emmet, arms around their shoulders.
- Two elderly people who bear a familial resemblance to Ingo.
- A child Ingo pinning another child on the ground, drawing back his fist to punch him.
- A crew of uniformed Depot Agents saluting the camera, Ingo and Emmet at the front, and a large collection of Pokemon surrounding them.

[ . . .

His smile softens as he turns and sits, waiting for them to get to their stop. ]

I don't think I actually linked this anywhere so for posterity in the archive, the group arrives at Nimbasa City.

[let's goooo]

[does getting closer help? if they stay indistinct, though, she'll check to see if there's anything visible out the windows.]
