[The mud splashes her and, if Brooklyn doesn't know it yet, she might realize soon that she's made a terrible mistake.

Starchild sets her smoothie down. Slowly and gently. She then advances towards Brookie with a calm but dangerous look on her face. She's ignoring Winston entirely as she locks eyes with the Mudbray.

You have no idea who you're fucking with, do you Brookie?]

[yousayyes]

[Brooklyn Supreme is not intimidated. The concept is far beyond her. For in order to feel such an emotion, she must first view another living creature as capable enough of holding enough power over her to be worth considering as a threat. Currently, she is living a life unfettered by such a fear.]

[Winston, meanwhile, is very worried about how this confrontation will turn out, for Brookie, for this clefairy, for its trainer, for the bystanders... and, distantly, for himself. But he could live with it turning out badly for himself.]

[He motions for the Pokéball in his pocket, slowly moving his hand into place so he can press the button to call her back inside of it if need be.]

...come on, Brook. Let's just back down from-

[Before he can even finish that sentence, Brookie throws down the gauntlet. ...well, she spits mud at Starchild's face. But metaphorically, a gauntlet was thrown.]

[As soon as that happens, without giving a second thought, Winston presses the button to call her back into the ball- ...but now guess who's the poor sap suddenly left all alone to deal with the very angry level 100 clefairy by himself? I'll give you a hint: his name rhymes with Princeton.]

1/2

[ghoststanning]

[Oh.

Oh you're going there are you, Brookie? You want to die that badly?

Starchild starts laughing, but it's not a happy laugh. It's a cruel laugh of someone she's about to murder and she's excited to see the life drain from their eyes.

She puts her hands together, and produces an orb of purely dark energy. She continues laughing as the orb gets bigger and bigger. She doesn't care that Winston put away Brookie, he's the one who's caring for that jerk so he deserves to suffer.]

[ghoststanning]

[Just when she's about to throw her Shadow Ball, a voice comes crying out.]

Starchild what are you doing!

[Ray was just going to check in on his child when holy shit why is she using an attack???

He runs up to stand between Starchild and Winston - unfortunately he's too focused on saving this man from getting murdered that he didn't get a good look at him yet.

Starchild pouts and poofs away her Shadow Ball. Ray seems satisfied by this and goes to scold her.]

Look, I know you're proud of how strong you are, but you can't solve all your problems by fighting people!

[Starchild makes a squeaky sound, and whether Ray can understand her or he's just filling in the blanks is a Mystery.]

I know you're upset, but that's still no excuse! I want you to apologize to this man.

[She pouts and turns away from Ray.

... Winston might want to say something because otherwise this might take awhile.]

[yousayyes]

[Ray's interference comes as a pleasant surprise to Winston, for a number of reasons- not the least of which being that he's just been saved from getting hit by a nasty-looking ball of death coming from a cantankerous clefairy. ...that would've been a pretty embarrassing way to go for somebody that's fought and survived so many malicious gods and near-apocalyptic threats to the universe.]

[Of course, Ray was always there with him to save the day in the past, so it only feels fitting that he'd be the one to step in here. ...but more than that, Winston's relieved to finally see a familiar face in a place like this.]

[...even if it looks like Ray hasn't caught up to that just yet.]

...kids sure can be a handful, huh, Ray?

[ghoststanning]

[Ray doesn't look at Winston just yet; still distracted by his unruly child.]

Tell me about it. I adore Starchild but I wish she'd just understand-

[Wait.

He knows that voice.

Ray whips around and stares in shock at Winston for almost a minute.]

Winston?!

[HOLY SHIT.]

[yousayyes]

[He laughs a little at Ray's reaction, giving him a warm smile.]

Yeah- might be hard to tell under all the glop, but it's me.

Sorry about... Starchild, by the way. I've got my own little troublemaker on my hands- [Winston turns Brookie's Pokéball around in his hand, showing it to Ray.] ...I don't think she meant any harm, though. Just can't help herself from making a mess of things.

[ghoststanning]

[Ray's eyes shine and he immediately clings to Winston, not minding the mud at all.]

Winston! I missed you so much!

I'm so sorry Starchild almost killed you! [He turns back to Clefairy.] You better apologize now, young lady, or else you won't be getting any deserve this week!

[Starchild, still pouting, turns and makes a squeaky sound to Winston that almost sounds like an "I'm sorry".]

[yousayyes]

[Winston winces a bit when clung to at first, nervous about the mud rubbing off on Ray-]

[...however, after the initial shock, he quickly eases into the embrace, wrapping his arms around Ray to hug him back. When he pulls away to scold Starchild, Winston still keeps a hand on his shoulder, staring softly at him with a hopeful look in his eyes.]

Might've been just a day or two, but I was starting to get a little lonely, myself... You see Pete or Egon around here, too?
