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.]

Floor 45!

So how do you know they're friendly? [[Rose is going to stop beside him, staring out the window a little but not getting too close to it. There's an extremely happy sounding Dragonite in the background because GUESS WHO CAN BE LET OUT OF HIS POKEBALL. Guile, of course, is ever present and seeking a little attention from John.]]

What if they phase through the window to get you?
tentacletrainer: (Why are you up in my grill yo?)

[personal profile] tentacletrainer 2012-12-09 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
They may not be ghosts, but we don't know what kind of creatures roam here, nor what they're capable of.

[[Yeah don't mind her just checking your forehead for a fever.]]

Sounds like you could use some water.

[Patrolling the stairs, Kazumi spots what seems to be a sick boy surrounded by ghosts! Transforming into her magical girl outfit, she runs over, calling out to him as she points her staff towards the pokemon]

Are you alright? Please, get back!

[good thing he's too close to them for her to want to risk firing her giant laser of doom, since clearly there is a misunderstanding here]
tentacletrainer: (Are you proud of yourself?)

[personal profile] tentacletrainer 2012-12-09 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmm... [[Letting her hand drop, she goes back to watching out the window.]]

You would. And you need some medicine.
tentacletrainer: (Why are you up in my grill yo?)

[personal profile] tentacletrainer 2012-12-09 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps, but we're in a new environment. We don't know how well you'll deal with the colds here, nor how bad they may or may not get. Plus you have a fever, and you know what happens when those get worse.
tentacletrainer: (Haha. Very funny.)

[personal profile] tentacletrainer 2012-12-09 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[[John. That doesn't work.]]

John. How warm is it in this room right now?
tentacletrainer: (Well it's all very simple really.)

[personal profile] tentacletrainer 2012-12-09 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I visited the infirmary earlier, and then had a fine selection to choose from. I'm sure there's something that can help with the fever.

Besides. You still need water.

[[This means she wants you to come with her, so she can take care of you.]]
tentacletrainer: (You truly amuse me.)

[personal profile] tentacletrainer 2012-12-09 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Correct. And you have the right to remain silent, but I won't hold anything you say against you. You're probably just delirious from the cold.
tentacletrainer: (I'll admit it. That was clever.)

[personal profile] tentacletrainer 2012-12-09 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[[No, she's not. She's going to exchange a look with Guile, though, and pretty soon there is a glowing pink pair of "hand cuffs" around his wrists.]]

Thank you, officer Guillemet. Much obliged.
tentacletrainer: (;))

[personal profile] tentacletrainer 2012-12-10 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
For a while, actually. I had just been saving it for a special occasion. [[Wink wink.]]

If you need further restraint, John here will do well. But you won't need that, right?
tentacletrainer: (Please. That was terrible.)

[personal profile] tentacletrainer 2012-12-10 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
[[Rose tries very, very hard not to laugh, but there's still an obvious snort of amusement at that.]]

Good good. Let's go.
chronomancer: (♒ oh so heavy)

[It's early enough in the day that Eridan assumes whatever's with John is not actually a Tower monster. Weird as hell as they are. The troll watches John for a moment, before venturing a little closer.]

...what are you doing?
chronomancer: (♒ of useless aggravation)

[personal profile] chronomancer 2012-12-10 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Training.

[Bitch, don't deadpan at him unless you're ready to face his deadpan. He deadpans death in face. He gives John a look that frankly puts his brain power in negative numbers. The lack of sunglasses lets John see the expression in full.]
