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.]

[... 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?

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

[ pffft ] Do you want one?

[action]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Sure! If you want to tell one.

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

I don't mind! I don't think I've ever done it before, but I'll give it a shot.

[action]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

How 'bout if I tell you a story, too? My mom always used to read a bunch of storybooks to me as a kid.

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Sure! I'd like that.

[action]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Okay!

[... and another pause as he thinks about something with a very slight pout.]

Mm... Actually, can we just get some takeout, Rise?

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Mm? I was planning on it, so yeah.

[action]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Okay.

[yeah he really is a little old man, isn't he? Sora won't ever admit it, but ambling along like a zombie while keeping his upper half as still as possible is pretty tiring.]

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

[ she's looking out for you, O Injured One. Hence why she's stopping at the nearest restaurant. ]

Does this one look good to you?
