welcome to calamity! we are an au pokemon site based in hoenn. we do not have canons so you can pick them as your fcs! we have a short one hundred word word count. and you get to also pick your own starter! calamity is going to focus on providing users with a good and stable plot line to follow. this helps each character progress and some might even have a play in affecting the plot! we hope you enjoy your time here and if you have any questions don't be afraid to ask.
hey guys! we've finally hit our three month mark! let's stay strong. the activity check and gala have ended, if your character has been archived and you need them back please pm one of the admins! unfortunately, noods has steped down from his admin position. make sure you say your goodbyes here!

too busy to dance. yeah right. most likely had no one to dance with. it was evident when she constantly stepped on his toes. this was very similar to prom night all those years ago. he couldn't help but chuckle at her failed attempt.
cass calls out, but it was already too late. the mask's gone over the side and slowly fell to its demise. she questions his intentions, but he simply shrugged his shoulders.
"i'm sick and tired of us sneaking around," he said. he ran a hand through his hair before pulling away from her, stepping back to let the air clear.
"i want to be with you."
silenced echoed through the air as he spoke. he breathed a sigh and looked away, letting her gather up her thoughts. he stared into the ballroom where the people were dancing. oh how they would revolt if they knew. but he was willing to take the risk.

she feels bad when she starts stepping on his toes. luckily he's unperturbed by the sloppy steps. but his laugh, although welcoming, makes her blush. "i don't even know why i'm dancing with you." she snorts and looks to the side. they slowly stop after a while.
"believe me rory, i am too." she sighs. rory pulls away from her, running a hand through his hair in frustration. her hands fall from his shoulders, leaving them utterly empty and cold. the silence that lingers between them is heavier than it was before. it's awhile before she can finally speak again, to find the right words for this situation.
"we're already together. but the only thing between us is magma and aqua..." she drifts off. the only thing between them is their loyalty. if either teams got wind of this, they'd throw a fit. her position would be severely compromised. but then...there's that small option in the back of her mind. it was always an option, but she knows that she wouldn't leave. rory wouldn't, either.
there are so many problems that plague their relationship; the problem with magma and aqua, julius, their past, everything just haunted them. it lingered over them, watching but never leaving. it just sits back and watches as the relationship crumbles.
he kept quiet as she spoke. he doesn't want to interrupt her with his thoughts. he wasn't even too sure what he thought about the situation. he was sick of it, sure, but would he leave aqua? maybe. he's done more than the old leader has. maybe it's time to quit while he's ahead.
"let's just run," he suggested. he turned back to look at her, grabbing her hands as he smiled at her. "leave everything behind."
a crazy idea, but it might be one he was willing to do. but it would require both of them to leave their teams and their lives. rory wasn't sure if cass would be able to do that.

their relationship is toxic. that's the stance she took before, and that's the stance she takes now. they fight constantly, their connection and trust is badly damaged but cass finds herself coming back to rory again. the universe must love to torture them, because every time they seem to be happy together something else seems to tear them apart.
cass looks at him in surprise when he takes her hands and offers to run away. it's tempting...oh so very tempting. she supposes that there's nothing stopping them now bar their loyalty. they could just live out a life together, without anything to bother them. they can be normal. she takes a deep breathe, her body slumping in defeat because she doesn't know if she can truly leave magma one day.
"i-i can't..." cass says, "i love you, but i can't. i'm sorry." it hurts to think about it. it hurts even more to say it to rory. she turns away from him. she can't bear to look at the disappointment on his face. so instead she looks at the ocean, and tries to capture in her mind of what might be the last time she'll ever be able to be with rory.
i can't. and just as easy as that his heart sunk to the ground. the first idea he was actually keen on doing and it was already shot down. he can't say he wasn't expecting it, but he was just hoping she'd at least try. disappointment was a feeling rory was all too familiar with.
his hands felt the cold breeze as she let go of his, soon turning away from him. his hands quickly found comfort in his pockets. he just stared at her back for a bit, not knowing what to say next. he was at a lost for words. he also wasn't too sure what the next step in their relationship was.
"i... hope you enjoy the party."
his voice was raspy and weak as he turned away, walking back into the ballroom where he'd get lost in a crowd. he doesn't know what to do anymore.

cass puts leaves her hands on the cold marble ledge. she shivers. it's a sharp contrast to rory's warm hands. before she never felt the cold breeze but now everything feels like it's changed. and it's all her fault.
she doesn't say anything as they part. her chest hurts too much to say anything. rory weakly tells her to enjoy the party and leaves. the air feels utterly empty of his presence, and cass is left wondering whether she actually made the right choice or not.
her eyes draw across the scene in front of her, observing the brush of waves across the coast before she decides that it's finally time to go. with a heavy heart she walks back into the ball. it's nearly time to start the negotiations. she realizes with surprise that everything's more serious now. it's not a game anymore, like she always thought. now cass has to focus all of her efforts into magma.
