009 ☀ Action for Ecruteak | Video (Backdated to 6/20)

[skillspanner]

[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.]

[craftingrebel]

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

[video]

[skillspanner]

Now I'm glad I decided to take him.

[video]

[craftingrebel]

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

[video]

[skillspanner]

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

[video]

[craftingrebel]

What stuff did it eat that belonged to you?

[video]

[skillspanner]

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.

[video]

[craftingrebel]

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

[video]

[skillspanner]

I think it's too dumb to be helped.

[video]

[craftingrebel]

Dude.... it can't be that dumb.

[video]

[skillspanner]

You wanna try training him for a while?

[video]

[craftingrebel]

[. . . . and he's thinkinggggggg. ]

Alright, I'll give it a try. But if that thing eats anything of mine he's goin' right back to you, got it?

[video]

[skillspanner]

Yeah, no doubt, man. It's not like I'd really wish the wrath of Jiraiya's appetite on you anyways.

[video]

[craftingrebel]

Good to know...

[video]

[skillspanner]

Hey, don't look so worried, man.

[video]

[craftingrebel]

I'm tryin'. I just don't want this to turn into another I have to remake everything again.

[video]

[skillspanner]

Dude, just keep it out of reach. He doesn't really climb on anything anyways.

[video]

[craftingrebel]

He doesn't? I'll try to keep that in mind then. Thanks, senpai.

[video]

[skillspanner]

Even if he did, it'd probably take him three days. [Laughs.]

[video]

[craftingrebel]

Man really? I know it's a slowbro or whatever-- but damn.

[video]

[skillspanner]

He's definitely got that name for a reason.

[video]

[craftingrebel]

[head rub.] You know, he probably does cool shit when we're not watching him...

[video]

[skillspanner]

Somehow, I doubt that. I think even Souji would vouch for that.

[video]

[craftingrebel]

So you know how it acts in it's pokéball?

[video]

[skillspanner]

He rarely stays in his Pokéball.

[video]

[craftingrebel]

Oh... Uh--
