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 poke an eye out, Rise!]

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

[ she's being careful!! ]

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

[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.]

[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?

[action]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Yeah, it's perfect!

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

[ in we go! It's a bit crowded, but Rise is shooting anyone who comes too close a LOOK. Yeah, there will be no bumping here. ]

[action]

[Sora wants to feel useful! he'll go fetch some napkins and silverware while they wait for their order-- and if anybody comments on the pajamas he's saving up a pout that will bring down the heavens.]

Wait here, okay?

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Wait-- Sora, are you sure--?

[action]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Yup! I've got this.

[Sora, away!]

[action]

[ WATCHING HIM LIKE A HAWK ]

[action]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[but, but big sis, they're just napkins and forks! he's totally got this, as long as there aren't any stampeding pokémon or small children.]

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

[ precisely what big sis is watching for. We don't need another accident-- except she's got to look away to go get the food. ]

[action]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[awww, Rise, he can be left to his own devices for a few minutes! right? see, look, he's even carrying everything over without incident. he'll even tactfully sidestep a little kid chasing around a baby Eevee.]

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

[ excellent work, Sora. She's proud of you! ]

Good job! Ready to go?

[action]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[one day he's defending the World from the darkness; the next day he's defending silverware and his ribs from children... but he has about the same level of triumph for both! that's the power of the... fork?]

Nothin' to it! Let's head back.
