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.]

[She giggles.] Well, as long as you're not mad...

I don't think I could be mad at anyone aside from those freaky-ass Pokémon right now, hehe...

[She laughs.] Always good to know I'm above soul-stealing insects~ [Very much a joke.]

Well, yeah, of course. Why wouldn't you be?

. . . Honestly, I don't have an answer for that one.

Hehe, exactly. [Winking.]

[Midori giggles.] Oh! By the way, I don't think we've been introduced, have we?

Oh.. uh, no. I guess not. My bad. My name's Yosuke - Yosuke Hanamura.

[She grins and poses a little for the camera.] Midori Komaki, known online as Dolly!

[. . . Yosuke seems the type to know cosplay idols, if you feel like having him recognize her.]

[Oh, he recognizes it. Look of surprise!]

Dolly? Seriously?

[OH, CUE THE GLEE.]

You know me?

[Nodding.]

How wouldn't I!? I just - I didn't realize--

[Midori giggles and beams.]

I love meeting fans!~ [She gives a thumbs up.] And it's totally fine you didn't recognize me right away~

[And he approves of meeting any sort of idols, so he grins.] I probably would've if I hadn't, you know, just woken up from a four-day coma.

Well, that and the whole "different worlds" thing makes it kind of confusing sometimes. Hehe...

[Midori nods.] Totally understandable!

And, yeah, you're right! A few people know who I am, so I guess at least a couple of us are from the same world?

Uh-huh. I don't know how many there are, but I know there's a pretty decent chunk of us. Some of them are friends from back home for me... but I dunno about the others. Like, I only know a little bit about the ones I've met.

Maybe we should make a broadcast with some details to see if we could find everyone?

Maybe... but how would we really know? I mean, there's a lot of people here from Japan. But like, different ones.

Well... We could ask more specific questions! Like, what year is it where you come from, or if there's a Junes in their hometown, or what TV shows they like! Little things tend to vary the most!

Oh-- yeah, huh. I guess that would work. Especially with Junes locations opening up all over. Even the small towns are getting them now.

There's one down the street from my school! It's great if we need an easy place to hang out after class~

Yeah, it's pretty good for stuff like that. I, uh... actually work at the one in my town, so I spend a lot of time there.

Oh! What's the pay like? I think ours might be hiring...

[She pauses.] Not that it's much of an issue right now, huh? [Cue the giggles!]

Uh, it's okay, I guess? I mean, it's not terrible. It pays better than a lot of smaller businesses.

[He pauses, letting out a little laugh as well.] Yeah, I guess here it doesn't matter that much. Though working in the Department store in Goldenrod's pretty similar a lot of the time, hehe.

Thanks! All I really do for money right now is cosplay commissions...

You work in Goldenrod? Is it really the shopping center everyone says it is?
