William Leslie had been waiting for this moment for weeks. That damned hypno and the priest had been added to the laundry list of people that were doing everything in their power to keep him away from his fiance.. In hindsight, he should have seen in coming. A demure girl like Ariel, he had come on much too strong. A proper lady must be wooed and won over. Not bowled over like he had done. Now that he was settling into his new form, his mind was much clearer and he could focus more on her. Which was why, when the hypno had left, he’d come and set up another trick room in her tent. She would enter and there would be laid out a romantic dinner scene, a pcinic by the seaside. Sure, the food might not be real, but he was confident in his abilities to make it feel real enough. He could practically hum in excitement as he adjusted the illusion, making sure that the horizon was just the right amount of disorienting so that once she walked in, she would not be able to immediately walk out. She would have to hear him out, to be with him. It was a perfect plan. Or it would have been if Ariel had actually been the first person to walk into her tent. |

((oh my god I'm laughing too hard excuse me--)) Eric had been making a point of spending as much time as he could with Ariel. With all of the problems that had arisen, it made it absolutely imperative that he'd had his wits about him, and keep an eye on her. When he was working or drilling or running errands, he tried to spare 'Mum to keep an eye on her, and for as many evenings as he could he came back to visit her, even if for a little bit. There was always the worry that he was being overbearing, but she'd not said anything about it being a bad thing yet, and he always tried to make sure that his 'overprotectiveness' didn't infringe on any freedoms. And so, it was another evening, he was looking around for her. "Awiel--?" He walked into the tent, the smile on his face dropping to disbelief and confusion at the world he had just entered. There was sand beneath his feet, and the sight and sound of the ocean was so unexpectedly close and there that it was all that he could do but boggle at what he was seeing. And on the beach in Ariel's tent was a picnic... and a man. |

William turned at the sound of footsteps, ready to greet Ariel with a smile, and an apology, and lovely dinner. But what greeted him wiped the smile off his face as fast as possible. "You." There were paragraphs worth of hatred crammed into that one single word. He of course recognized the intruder. This was the little rat that kept sniffing around his Ariel. A little boy that Ariel no doubt was just humoring (Bless her too kind heart.) "What are you doing here? Get out!" |

Chills ran up and down his spine at that one word, and it felt as if the warmth of the real daylight he'd just left had simply drained away from him. He gritted his teeth, his face growing stormy as he came over the realization that this must be him, the one who tried to hurt his Ariel. "You get out! You don't belong here!" He charged without thinking, across sand and through the picnic, fist raised and heart beating fast. |

William didn't move. He didn't fear fists anymore. As a ghost, he couldn't be hurt by fists and touches. "Ha! Pathetic." He sneered. "You're the one who doesn't belong, you little rat." The illusion changed slightly, the calm sea turning grey and turbulent as the wind picked up. "You're the one who's been ruining everything." He felt the rage build up in him. He'd seen this, child, this pathetic little boy actually dare to lay hands on his Ariel. |

His hand passed right through the ghost- the air where the man was supposed to be was chilly, and his heart skipped a beat in panic. With his momentum, he'd stumbled right on passed him, and turned around to stare at him wide eyed. "Ha! Pathetic." He didn't have control here. He couldn't even hit the man. Suddenly, Eric felt a lot more frightened. It was pathetic. "You're the one who doesn't belong, you little rat." The scenery was changing, and instinct told him that he should have been fleeing. The wind pulled at his hair and his clothes, and he wanted to run off along with it. But he kept his feet firm in the sand, trying not to let the fear show plainly on his face, instead glaring back at the ghost, using his anger fuel his determination. This phantom of a man had hurt Ariel. And he would continue to do so if nothing was done about it. "You're the one who's been ruining everything." It was ironic, some part of his mind said, how it was completely the other way around. "Me? Me?!" Words. Words were all he could throw at the ghost. "You're dead! You don't belong here. You don't belong in this world. You don't belong with Ariel! Move goddamn fucking on-! You're sucking the life out of her, making her unhappy, don't you fucking see that?!" |

The wind continued to pick up as William glared at his riva- He cut himself off before he could finish the thought. There was no way this child could be a rival to him. "You're the one making her unhappy! You're the one trying to tie her down to this pathetic world, this useless war. She could move past that, She could be greater! You're the one taking advantage of her goodwill, taking advantage of her pity for you, and you DARE blame me?!" |

He actually had to lift a hand to push the hair out of his eyes, the look on his face shifting from anger to some sort of mix of disgust and pity. Eric couldn't believe the words coming out of this deceased lunatic's mouth. Words began to come easier. "Greater? The afterlife, you mean?! You haven't even moved on, you deranged coward, stuck in your flappy limbo! You're a frweak, a frweak of nature you know-- Yo' taking her away from efferybody she luffs, efferyone she cares about." He was already beginning to feel out of breath, and the gusts of wind weren't helping. He paused for only a fraction of a second to wet his lips again. "Yo' cwazy! Yo' cwazy and impatient, you demented, flaky scwewball! haff you effen ashked Awiel if she wanted to live? Couldn't you wait a fucking few decades?! Back the hell off!" |

Every word was like a poke between the eyes, not painful, but annoying, over and over again. Then the lisp began and the annoyance intensified to the point where every word of Eric's made him want to wipe the little creature off the face of the earth. "Shut up. Shut up. Shut up! SHUT UP!" He cried out, letting the wind pick up till it was practically a full on storm. "You don't know anything about her. I've seen her mind and this is what she wants! What she's always wanted! Of course you barely know her, could barely understand her, you little, pathetic, useless child." His control was slipping on the illusion with his fury as the beach began to fade into the church he was referring to. He saw into her mind, and she dreamt of a wedding. Of a marriage, and here he was, ready and willing to wed her. To be with her forever. It was even better than her dreams, in fact. This version didn't include that lisping little brat, and Will, unlike Eric, could promise her much more than 'till death do us part'. |

He did quiet for a moment, because he felt like he was going to be pulled off his feet. He could barely hear a word out of the ghost's mouth over the roar of the gale in his ears, but then the imagery faltered, the beach giving way to an altar. He glanced around wildly, eyes wide in surprise. Was any of this even real? It couldn't be. "It'th fake..." He said quietly, and then looked up suddenly at will, eyebrows furrowing. "Yo' fake! You don't luff her, yo' obseshed! You po', po' soul..." His words trailed off. Was there any reasoning with this being? |

"You? Pitying me?! You don't understand a thing. I love her more than you ever could!" The illusion collapsed under his fury and lack of focus as fury completely clouded his mind. He took a step forward only to find with the illusion gone, he no longer had steps, no longer had words. "Yamask." He hissed, smoke curling around his mouth as he prepared to use his will-o-wisp and burn this rat to the ground. |

He took a step back when their surroundings dropped away to the familiar tent he was used to-- Leslie's form had changed too, and he found himself staring at a pokemon. His eyes widened as he realized it was attacking him-- his hand dug into his coat for his pokeball, but the dial would have delayed him, he wouldn't have opened it on time. Between fight or flee, he finally let himself flee-- there was nothing he could have done otherwise. Eric felt two times safer as soon as he'd stepped out of the tent, but he kept going, hoping to find someone or a group of people. |

As the little coward ran from the tent, William let the flames lick around his mouth as he watched the tent flaps flutter in the wake of the escape. Pathetic. He'd be sure to show this to Ariel when he met her, to show her how the little rat would never be enough for her. Now of course, he had to restore his illusion somehow, to try and refocus himself. Meanwhile outside, Ariel was heading back from her shift in the mess, ready to relax in her tent when she saw Eric streak past. "Eric?" Was he training? He didn't often do it at this time, or here. |

The boy skidded to a stop at the familiar blond blurr and her voice, panting unsteadily more from fear than anything else. He paused, and then backtacked a few steps to pull her into a hug, forcing himself to relax. "Ah, fuck," he muttered, attempting to pull deep breaths of air. "That-- that Leslie g--" he swallowed to wet his mouth. "guy's some seriously messed up shit--" |

Ariel hugged him back tightly, happy to see him, until he uttered the ghost's name and she paled. "Leslie? What happened? Are you okay?" The fear and worry tumbled from her lips as she she pulled away to look him over. She rushed her hands over his arms as if to make sure he truly was uninjured. |
