2nd pokeball [open + event]
Characters: John Egbert, some ghost pokemon, and YOU!!
Setting: floor 45, floor 40
Format: Action
Summary: John's feeling a little under the weather but he's not going to let that get in the way of exploring and some mild training!
Warnings: None yet
>Floor 45 (early afternoon)
[There are a lot of things that John misses about Johto but one of the things near the top of the list is flying. There's just something about soaring thousands of feet in the air on the back of an Altaria or a Golurk that's really just amazing. And this floor, with its glass walls and high altitude, is about the closest he can get to replicating that.]
[He'll be in here for a few hours, accompanied by his Dusknoir and Litwick. He's not really doing much, just staring out the walls, taking a few pictures and videos with his Pokegear, and occasionally... talking to the dead things that slither around outside. Or trying to, anyway, he's not really sure that they can hear him. Every so often he sneezes, causing the Dusknoir to hand him a tissue, or coughs loudly. John has never had the best of luck with colds, and it seems that the lack of heat in the tower has already taken a toll on him.]
[Or perhaps it's something a little nastier than that...really, who can say?]
>Floor 40 (evening)
[Later on, John can be found a few floors down in the storage room, still accompanied by his Dusknoir and Litwick, the latter of which is proving to be very useful on this dark floor. The trio isn't attempting to store anything, but rather they appear to be hunting Shadow Blobs and Imps in the corners of the room.]
Chandel, night sh-- [A coughing fit prevents him from actually finishing the command. Seems his cold has gotten a little worse already...maybe taking it easy was a good idea after all. Oh well. Luckily, the Litwick seems to have understood what he was getting at.] Y-yeah... [Hack.] Just like that, good job. Just keep at it, you have this. Ughh... [Sniffle.]
[They'll be here until night falls and the stronger monsters come out to play. Unfortunately, Chandel isn't really strong enough to play with the big boys just yet And John really should get to bed so this cold doesn't get any worse than it already is.]

hehehe glad i could provide
[Wow, now that it was becoming a bit clearer, Kazumi felt kind of silly!]
Well, I just thought uh... they might be the monsters that were hurting you?
no subject
[He lets go of the Dusknoir's arm, moving to stand beside it instead, beaming at Kazumi.]
Sorry about that. Elliot can be a little over prote--ah..ah-- [Just as he sneezes, the Dusknoir catches his nose in a tissue. Where on earth he's hiding these things, we'll never know but it sure is a handy trick. John blows his nose before continuing.] Thanks...
Anyway, I appreciate the concern, but these monsters are actually mine!
no subject
Oh, wow! So they're like, your friends?
no subject
Yes, exactly! They won't hurt me. Or anyone else, for that matter.
[Unless he tells them to, that is.]
no subject
[She looks over at the litwik, before realizing she hasn't introduced herself]
Ah, I'm Kazumi, by the way! It's nice to meet you.
no subject
no subject
Wow, so you made friends with ghosts?
no subject
[He's rather proud of it. It's one of the few ones he named that wasn't a movie reference...]
But yes, you could say that. They are actually ghost type Pokemon though, so it's not like I have the sixth sense or cool ghost powers or anything like that.
[But man he wishes he did.]
no subject
[The obvious question]
no subject
[He's trying to explain, he really is.]
Like they aren't dead people. They actually hatched out of eggs, as little sense as that undoubtedly makes.
no subject
That's pretty weird, John.
no subject
[There are lots of weird things in Johto. Lots. Eventually you just stop questioning why you can't go up those perfectly climbable-looking ledges.]
Anyway, I have been meaning to ask, are you a cosplayer or something?
[He knew a cosplayer once. She wore cool outfits like this.]
no subject
no subject
[He's just going by the hat. John, no...]
no subject
Um, sort of! It's not exactly like in anime, but we use our magical powers to fight witches and protect people from their curses!
no subject

no subject
[He chuckles before turning his head away to cough into his elbow for a minute.]
In any case, I still really appreciate that you were willing to help me like that, even if I wasn't actually in any danger.
no subject
[Kazumi frowns a bit, worried by the coughing]
Mm, well that's fine. Though are you okay? You sound a little sick...
no subject
Yeah, I think it's just the weather getting to me. Err...the lack of AC. No biggie.
