Phobias could be a funny thing, sometimes (if by "funny" what you mean is "terrifying"). You could think you had yours totally under control, until something new happened and it all came back to hit you at once.
And the problem with entomophobia in particular was that, well, bugs in Johto weren't like bugs in Japan. They were bigger, much bigger. They were far more intelligent. They were far more dangerous.
And on that Friday afternoon, in the woods just south of Violet City, they were mad.
( In case anyone was wondering how Chie responded to Tarantulas's old bug event, here's the post I intended to put up that weekend. Closed to responses, but I just wanted to share it anyway. )
... And then Chie locked herself in her hotel room for a week.
[OOC: This wasn't recorded with the gear or anything, so there's no need for anyone to tag, because seriously, three weeks backdated? There are limits, Shay. But I just couldn't get the scene out of my head, so I wanted to at least finally share it.
And just to let everyone know: Chie will have an egg post up tomorrow morning/midday, for everybody who responded to the OOC post from a while back! Castmates, I'm assuming she hitched a ride with Souji et al on his way back through Violet to Goldenrod, because if I have to make another catch-up post with her I'm probably going to cry.]
