015; [text/action for goldenrod pokécenter]

[keychained]

[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.]

Not yet; I slept through breakfast.

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Okay~! Food's on me this time.

[action]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Really? Thanks, Rise! I'm starving...

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

I figured! Especially if you skipped a meal. [ up we go, little bro. ]

[action]

[he smiles slightly once he's standing up again, just resting for a quick second. yeah, he's kind of a mess right now and inhaling is a chore, but he's not alone. he probably wouldn't have been able to handle being injured if Rise weren't there to help him out.]

[ she's not straying from his side, that's for sure. Let the nurses glare if they must. For now, she just focuses on guiding him at a sedate pace, not anything to get the heart pumping. ]

[and, after a few minutes of lurching along:]

I feel like a little old man.

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

[ she laughs a little at that, shaking her head. ] You're nowhere near wrinkly enough.

[action]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[... to that, Sora reaches up and pinches the skin around his cheek and eye, scrunching the rest of his face up. how's that for wrinkles?]

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

...

[ completely straight-faced. ] You look like an onion.

[action]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[... don't laugh Sora, oh god don't lau-- ow ow ow ow ow owwww-- yeah that laughter was totally worth it, though.]

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

[ oh god she's trying NOT to kill you, bro-- ]

... Oh right, probably shouldn't do that. Are you okay?

[action]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Yup--

[wheeeeze.]

Yup, I'm good! I needed a laugh.

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

And your ribs need a break. [ though she can't help but smile. ]

[action]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[PUN INTENDED? Sora's laughing again anyway.]

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

[ totally not intended, oh god Sora don't die-- ]

[action]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[no dying here; he just carefully wraps an arm around his front as he recomposes himself.]

You know... this is pretty much the last thing I was expecting when I fell asleep three days ago, but... m'glad I'm not here alone.

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

That makes two of us. I still don't know what exactly happened, but...

[ if anything, she's certain something important happened with Sora. ]

I meant what I said. I'm sticking with you, Sora, no matter what.

[action]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[... Sora pauses, and stops lumbering along to rest his head on Rise's shoulder, closing his eyes and looking quite content. just gonna rest here for a second.]

M'gonna stay with you, too.

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

[ Rise lightly rests her cheek on Sora's head (THE SPIKES THE SPIKES), holding still to let him do that. ]

Think they'll mind me camping out at the Center if they keep you there?

[action]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[don't poke an eye out, Rise!]

If they do I'll just be even more trouble than I have been until they let you stay.

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

[ she's being careful!! ]

They've got a point about you resting, though. Cracked ribs are pretty serious.

[action]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

I know, I know... I just hate being cooped up. I don't want to get in bed until I'm ready to sleep.

[he is tired, though. it's not easy getting comfortable.]

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know. [ she smiles encouragingly. ] Company should help.

[action]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Do I get a bedtime story?
