skillspanner | 009 ☀ Action for Ecruteak

[There was no peaceful waking up. It wasn't the slow process of getting to enjoy a good slumber, groggily waking up, rolling over, stretching. No, it was just the opposite.]

[It was completely abrupt, the way his eyelids fluttered open, followed by immediately sitting upright.]

Wh--what the--- arrrgh!

[Despite days of sleep, Yosuke felt weak. He felt tired, as if he could collapse, and he didn't recognize his current surrounding. His eyes were bloodshot and his head was throbbing, so much so that he could only lean forward to grab his head. All of this was enough for him to even ignore the fact that his shirt still managed to be soaked with Jiraiya's saliva. Never a break from that, ever.]

[It hurt to think, memories of all those dreams still so fresh in his mind. Not cool. Definitely not cool.]

[A while after waking up - and being filled in on everything that happened, Yosuke turns on the video. He looks weak - pale, tired - his eyes are bloodshot and there are dark circles under them. He's lacking his usual energy, only offering a weak smile, but still sounding surprisingly sullen, given his normal demeanor.]

I - well, hey, I guess. I just kinda got filled in on everything that's been going on. So I guess I wanted to know... uh, how many people are still like this? You know, totally not conscious? There was a lot to start - that I know, but ugh...

Dammit, just when you think this place is kind of okay...

Me and Rise -- we're both okay now. The centre's still gonna be closed a bit longer too. Not that it's really important with all this other stuff going on. But we'll all be back in Goldenrod soon too, I guess.

[He falls quiet, hesitating for a second - almost as if he's got something else to say, but instead, he just cuts communication.]

You better not, or I'll beat the shit out of you if you do. ['cause yeah, threatening the life of his friend is totally better than saying he was scurred shitless :Ib]

Dude, that's pretty much the worst threat ever. You know, since you kind of do that to me for breathing most of the time.

Dammit, Yosuke just--- [Kanji shakes his head. non, he is not getting into it tonight with you. HE WILL BE THE BIGGER AND BETTER MAN THIS TIME!!!!]

Dude, chill - it's cool. [Lets out a very weak laugh.] I needed to get one bad joke in, okay?

[aaaaand there goes his "be the better man" mantra :I o-oopsie] Cool? Watchin' that shit wasn't funny man! Do you-- you don't even know how hard that was, dammit? And here you are cracking lame ass jokes!! [he exhales loudly.] But whatever--

[He's kind of cranky and still all screwed up from all of this, so it kind of sets him off.] Dude! You think this was easy for me? I'm the one who had to deal with it, and then wake up to find out what's been going on this whole time? I'm not friggin' cool with this crap either, you know!

[So worked up he forgets to mention the whole "joking to make things feel normal" part.]

Yeah, well you haven't had to go through shit like this before! At least you woke up from it, so that's all that matters.

[He lets out a quiet sigh, averting his eyes from the camera.] Yeah. Guess that's all that's really important right now anyways.

Yeah... just-- don't look at those things again, got it?

Dude, believe me. I don't plan on looking at those thing ever again, if I can help it.

Good.

[He goes quiet for a second; he's obviously pretty out of it right now.]

Sorry, dude.

Yeah--just... look get some sleep or eat or-- do whatever it is you do, alright? Get to feelin' better, rescue senpai, and then come back safely.

Actually... well, Souji's here. But yeah-- thanks man. I [He hesitates; that's right... he's not even teasing Kanji over how incredibly sappy that was.] I'll do that.

[And another pause.] How're you holding up with all the Pokémon over there, anyways?

[Good, because this sounds incredibly homo-homo. He nods, and drops the conversation at that.]

I've been holdin' up alright. They're not that bad actually.

I guess they've taken a liking to you or something. That's not a bad deal, at least.

Heh, yeah. Thankfully I only had to make a few dolls for a couple of them so they wouldn't tear the place down again.

I guess that's one way to use your talents, huh? Good thing I decided to take Jiraiya with me though... he probably would've ate them all.

Yeah-- if he did then you would've owed me money for new material.

Now I'm glad I decided to take him.

Remind me to never leave my stuff in the open around that thing.

Pretty much, yeah. Maybe one day I'll remember that too.

What stuff did it eat that belonged to you?

Aside from all my food most of the time? Uh... he's tried to get my shoes, pretty much all my clothes. I think he tried to eat his own Pokéball once, too.

[(UNSURE)] What kind of--man that thing needs help.
