015; [text/action for goldenrod pokécenter]

[there are a few unusual things about this here transmission: first, Sora's sending out a few text messages. they're... not exactly his first choice for communicating; he prefers being able to see someone's face when he's talking to them. that and he's painfully slow with hunting and pecking on a keyboard. he's got a good reason for going the text route today, though.]

Is everybody okay? I know all kinds of weird stuff's happened, and I want to make sure nobody's hurt.

[-- and unusual thing number two. though Sora is not much of a typist, he does at least try to make his texts grammatically correct. oh screw it, typing with one hand is annoying.]

let me know soon. also if you guys have any empty bottles hang on to them. or give them to me and i'll hold them for you. ive got an idea

if you find my stuff please be careful with dartanian_

[shortly after mashing the "send" button, Sora tosses his 'gear in front of him on the bed and sighs. tries to sigh. Bell waddles over to to where the 'gear hit the covers and turns it over and over with her tiny arm stubs, prii'ing happily to herself. feel free to make a video call, though you may be chatting with a Togepi at first.]

[if you happen to enter the pokécenter in Goldenrod, you might hear Sora arguing feebly with a nurse and basically being the worst patient ever.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Yeah!

[he tries to straighten up and perk up a bit, o-ow.]

What do you wanna do? This is my first time here so.

Mine too-- [ oh, she saw that, Sora. Have a little tug to encourage him to lean on her a little more. ] But we could always grab something to eat back in the Center. Are they making you stay there overnight?

[he responds to that encouragement all too easily, leaning a bit more of his weight on her.]

I don't wanna go back. And-- they didn't say, actually. How long does it take to heal cracked ribs?

Usually months. The agency always told us to be careful because of that. [ the additional weight isn't much, so she adjusts readily enough. ] I think it depends on how badly they're cracked, though.

... [ frowns slightly. ] And how'd you even crack your ribs, anyway?

I don't remember. Nurse Joy said I probably fell from somewhere high up or got in a fight or something.

[and because he's about 100 percent comfortable around, Rise, he steps back momentarily to go ahead and lifts the shirt of his Totodile jammies to show her. that's definitely a very distinct boot print.]

I feel sorry for whoever I landed on.

...!

[ oh what the hell ]

It looks more like someone landed on you!

[what the Vanitas is more like it :|]

I guess that could've happened, too. I have no idea.

[ she's tracing along the shape veeeeeery carefully with a finger ]

... Sora, this looks deliberate.

It does? But why would...

[he hasn't made any enemies in Johto has he? none that he's really aware of, at least.]

No idea. But whoever did it is going to regret it if I ever--

[ calm down, Rise. Idol Rage is not necessary. ]

[he drops his shirt and reaches up to pat Rise on the arm.]

Hey, it's okay! It's not that bad.

[ IT'S A BOOT IMPRINT. ]

... ... [ breeeeaaathe. ]

Ugh, what happened these past few days?

[... at least it looks like it was a very stylish boot?!]

I dunno... I just remember a lot of really weird dreams.

Me too.

[ ... a lot of which centered around her Shadow, for some weird reason. ]

If everybody's having them then they have to be connected somehow.

That's what I'm thinking... it's weird, though, it's just bits and pieces. And I think you were in one of them. Or maybe two...

... You know? I think you were in one of mine, too.

[ ... well, see, there's proof right now. ] Do you remember anything about it?

... I remember hugging you.

[ yeah, someone went up a Social Link Rank. ]

... Aha, somehow... I feel like there's a huge weight off my shoulders when I remember that dream.

[it's hard to forget Rise hugs!]

It makes me really happy when I think about it.

... Wait, so you dreamed that, too?

Yeah, or something like it. It's a little weird, huh?

Maybe we hugged sometime in the three days we lost!

Well, it's not like that's impossible. But if that's true, then we've worked out one piece of the puzzle!

If that's true, then maybe those dreams are hints at what happened. And then...
