Mimikyu

Lonely Ghost,
Tatters the Mimikyu, Female Fae, Shadow Flight?

Laboratory Logs:

-When our trackers identified a doubleworlder nearby, the last thing we expected when we went towards it was an abandoned building.
-Along the way, we had encountered a merchant who realized where we were going and urged us not to go, telling us there was a dangerous beast inside.
-We insisted we were fine and continued going on.
-Little did we know that the “beast” would be our doubleworlder.
-When we entered the building, which we quickly realized was an old store, the doors slammed behind us.
-We then spotted what appeared to be a tiny yellow fae dragon, scampering out of sight.
-I called out to the fae, trying to convince her to come out. We only wanted to talk, I said. We meant no harm.
-The fae then stepped out of her hiding place. She approached us, but her movements were... uncanny. Ragdoll-like.
-Their neck bent a bit too far backwards. Their feet did not walk on the ground so much as slide awkwardly across it.
-Then I suddenly saw the fae, or, rather, creature, for what she was.
-The creature was simply wearing a fae costume.
-A poorly made one, too. How was I convinced the creature was actually a real dragon?
-“Leave... now!” the creature had said. When I asked why, she had responded, “Me... monster!” before shadowy claws formed from underneath the costume and started lashing out at us.
-We ran away, the door swinging open for us.
-How kind.
-When the scientists had caught their breath, I asked who was willing to go back. Unsurprisingly, I was the only one who was.

-I packed a few important supplies for my next encounter with the creature:
—Scanners of all sorts that would hopefully help me identify what the creature was
—A baseball bat for self defense
—Gummy worms in case I got snacky

-Like last time, the door slammed shut when I entered the abandoned mart and the creature demanded I leave.
-Before she could continue, I pulled up a scanner, meant to identify otherworldly beasts, and turned it on.
-The scanner blinked on, but it didn’t register the creature as anything extraplanar.
-The creature watched, probably confused, as I dumped everything out of my backpack, turning on scanner after scanner.
-None worked until I turned on the one for spirits. The creature registered.
-I yelled in excitement, “A ghost! You’re a ghost!”
-“...Yeah?” the creature said. “You... could... have... asked.”
-...Oh.
-I can’t believe I embarrassed myself in front of the first ghost I ever met.
-Picking up the multitude of scanners cluttering the floor, I started packing up my things, when the ghost asked “Food?”
-I realized she was pointing at my gummy worms.
-For a moment, I considered lying and telling the ghost that they weren’t actually food just so I could have all the gummy worms to myself, but my desire to befriend this ghost overrided my selfish desire to hoard my candy to myself.
-I opened the gummy worm bag and held it open for the ghost.
-The ghost grabbed a large handful and dragged them under her costume. I grabbed a few worms and then left the rest for the ghost, who eagerly grabbed the rest of it.
-The ten seconds of my life spent eating gummy worms with a ghost is probably the greatest moment of my life.

-I left afterwards, promising to bring more candy. I was supposed to ask the usual questions, but I wanted to take it slow; the ghost was still a bit uneasy around me.
-My researcher team were very happy to see me alive, to which I laughed in their faces and said, “You guys told me bringing gummy worms everywhere was a waste of space! Look at me now!”
-They were very confused so I had to explain the whole story to them.
