twenty-fourth form; waking up sore {Accidental Video/Action for Ecruteak Inn}

Alakazaaaam...

Kiyone gently runs a three-fingered hand over his unstirring mistress’ bandaged head, delicately trying to probe into her mind, but upon being blocked once again by a mysterious barrier, he sighs and gets up, wandering over to the window. Shinrai moves closer to Nanao’s unmoving form and squeaks as the elder Pokemon throws wide the curtains, letting beams of summer sunlight flood the room, gilding everything inside with a welcome warmth.

Ri? Rioluuuu.

Kiyone looks back over his shoulder at the baby ‘Mon, and smiles gently. It had not been an easy time for the youngest member of Nanao’s party, but the Riolu was nothing if not resilient. Even if he couldn’t walk. After Envy’s Pokemon had brought them into Ecruteak, Shinrai had tearfully explained what had happened to them, and to say they were unhappy was an understatement.

Aaaala. Kazam.

Shinrai smiled back, and threw his arms into the air, giggling. The noise woke Hanatarou, who had been curled up atop a nearby chair, and she stretched, before slithering off the chair and flowing like a furry river up onto the bed, and nuzzled the young Riolu, and he giggled again. Then he stopped, and cocked his head to the side.

Lu?

{There’s a deep, pained-sounding groan coming from somewhere to the left of the ‘Gear, and the sound of shifting sheets.}

wh-where am I.... s’too bright... {A whimper, more rustling sounds, and then a yelp, and a thud.}

O-owwwww.... {There’s a sob, and then the camera finally moves, and Nanao comes into view, far too pale, wrapped in bedsheets, and with bandages wrapped around her head.}

I - I feel sick...

{OOC: Nanao is awake! But she’s also suffering the side effects of a severe concussion, so any ‘Gear replies will be rather nonsensical. She’s in a room at the Ecruteak Inn, so if you’re in the building, feel free to have your characters drop by.}

It does if you've grown up with it.

{And trying to push herself up - help please!}

_{[Hm. He doesn't see that at first but then OH OH OH oh right yes he can help, sort of? He grabs her by a shoulder sort of unsurely but does help her up.]}

{Leaning on him because asdfgj still so tired.}

Thanks.

Yeah, no problem.

_{[... okay, and now what.]}

You uh, gonna be okay?

{This is her head in the crook of your neck, Tulio. She exhales, and her eyes flutter shut.}

I hope so.

...what happened to me?

_{[OH. GOD. WAIT. Why is she so close all of a sudden, Tulio is never close to people, how do I physical contact that isn't with Miguel or random one night stands??]

[... seriously, that kind of contact is so weirdly intimate and he has no idea what to do with it. ...so he does nothing.]}

... you started screaming. And then you collapsed.

{Because she's tired :C and oh good, you're not moving. So she just. Stays there. Even if things suddenly got awkward(er).}

Uhm. I'm... sorry?

_{[Sob. Yes. Very awkward. But he's resigning himself to his fate and just sighs.]}

Of course you are.

{She's breathing deep and even, just enjoying the fact that he hasn't dropped her like a hot potato.}

That's not all, is it?

All what?

_{[He's ... not really sure where to look now so he's just going to look at the ceiling. Why is your face in his shoulder.]}

The last thing I remember was walking along the road in the sunshine... And now I'm in Ecruteak. Something happened.

{Because it's comfy! And she's still sleeepyyyy}

_{[Oh. OH. He makes a small groany sound and rubs at his face.]}

Don't tell me you don't remember the bugs...

{Can you feel the face that she is pulling. It is a confused and vaguely concerned face.}

What bugs?

The only soul-stealing bugs around? With hole in their backs? Really creepy bugs?

_{[He's just going to grab her by the shoulders and move her back so he can LOOK AT HER. How can you forget something like that?]}

{LOOKING BACK and she is so confused.}

I have no idea of what you're talking about, Tulio! I've never heard of such a thing.

_{[... mouth slightly open for a moment here-]}

Well guess what? Me neither until I came to this place! You can ask anyone, they were everywhere. And that is what happened to you.

{Wait hey calm down asdfghj}

I believe you - but then why don't I remember them? What happened to me?!

You got your soul sucked out! And then you probably got stuck in nightmare-land just like the others!

_{[..Tulio calm down don't make her faint again]}

{What.}

Okay, no. Stop right there, and back track a little.

What happened to my soul.

{BOY YOU BEST WATCH YO STEP. This is canonical territory.}

_{[WELL HE DOESN'T KNOW THAT. ...but he is a little taken aback by her sudden intensity and falters for a moment, before he starts gesturing vaguely again.]}

Well I'm just assuming that's what happened to yours. Everyone else said they were trapped in a nightmare world or something while their souls were caged inside hollow insects.

{This is her serious face ~~let's hope she doesn't faint into his chest halfway through~~}

Let me get this straight. Some kind of bug - and it would have to be a Pokemon, wouldn't it - pulled my soul out of my body and into another plane.

That's completely ridiculous.

Oh don't you think I know that?! But this ENTIRE WORLD is ridiculous, so it's still true!

_{[He's just about pulling his hair at this point.]}

Just- I- ARGH- check that Gear of yours if you don't believe me, there are plenty of videos of the whole thing!

Fine, I will then!

{BRB, grabbing the 'Gear - why was it floating behind her ohwait Kiyone - and flicking it on to stare at the past week's feeds.}

{And her eyes go wider and wider, and all the colour drains out of her face.}

{Until she finally reaches her own feed.}

{The sound of her own screaming rises tinnily from the speakers, and she just stares dumbstruck at the screen, tears blurring her eyes.}

I - I don't...

{Good luck trying to get some sense back into her. And he's going to have to pry the 'Gear out of her hands because she doesn't know what to believe any more.}

_{[... good job, Tulio. Clearly you are the best at dealing with traumatized women. Maybe you should just stay out of this for good.]

[He groans and drags a hand over his face before he looks up at her and sort of ... gingerly touches her shoulder.]}

See, I told you.
