OOC: ^______^ Heh, calm down Mika, you're forgetting the beauty of Fire Emblem! The beauty is that you can pair up whomever your little heart desires in your own game! I for one prefer Lethe to be paired with Ranulf (I always thought her and Mordecai were better as friends). We all have different tastes in pairings (evidenced by certain people in the Pokemon Anime section here... o.o), like I can't stand Ike and Elincia together for some reason, (even though their pairing is practically spoon-fed to you in the game XP) don't ask why I don't like them though because I don't really know myself. ^^;

Anyway... um... I guess I could post as the doctor again. ^^ Kogenta didn't ever post yesterday, so Alter and I can't really say much.


"Dr. Kipling! Ted? Ted will you wake up?!" a shrill voice shouted loudly. Dr. Kipling, who had been working non-stop for quite some time, popped his head up from sleeping on a pile of patient's files. He was in a patient's room and while the patient was sleeping too, this was not exactly what the doctor was supposed to be doing.

"Eh...?" he answered groggily, his eyes slowly adjusting to the light, "M... Mary?"

Nurse Mary's hands were on her hips, Kyoko's bottle in her right hand, "Sleeping on the job?! Ted don't make me report that!"

Dr. Kipling shook his head and bit and got up, looking a bit more awake. He put out his hand for Mary to give him the medicine, "Sorry... this is the first time I've had to work so long without breaks."

"Well get it into gear mister! If any of the high-level staff catches you sleeping like I just did it will be your head!" she snapped, practically throwing the bottle into his hand, and turning on her heel to leave. Dr. Kipling followed her with his eyes for a moment, mentally kicking himself for falling asleep like that. "By the way," Mary added as she walked, "I want to go to Shorella's for dinner. Don't fall asleep while we eat!"

"No ma'am!" the doctor said, feeling a good deal happier, and he hummed to himself as he strode up to Kyoko's room. He opened the door, and then walked up to the two girls.

He held out the bottle, and looked at Kyoko, "Here you go. It's been a pleasure." After handing her the bottle, he nodded to them both and strode out, his mind on things other than Kyoko, bottles, or broken bones.

OOC: Oh I forgot!! Yay to Charon for entering the art contest with her Torchic piccy! I think it's very good! I wish her picture luck in the contest.

"Thank you," Chain replied quietly to Valen and Reina, though soft pulses of suspicion continued to work through his mind. It was then that he noticed the odd behavior of the two other trainers. The actions were subtle and relatively innocent, but nonetheless abnormal. Standing a short distance away from the others, the edge of Chain's eye briefly caught some form of movement above Valen's bed. Chain's gaze instantly darted toward the suspect area, only to be greeted by empty space.

With us discussing this type of information, I'd rather not risk the intrusion of another being, even if isn't certain . . . Reaching for a Pokeball at his side, Chain paused before shaking his head slightly. No, having Sneasel send out random attacks wouldn't be helpful either--especially knowing her. Deliberately lowering his hand, Chain slowly turned his gaze from the apparently unoccupied area toward the other trainers within the room, continuing his dialogue in an apparently undisturbed tone.

"In any case, being that I've shared the truth of my information with you, I was hoping that you might be inclined to do the same." After a brief moment, Chain asked, a slight sincerity entering his voice, "What really happened?"
 
-OoC-

Can't post Kyoko til Charon's exams are done being evil. -spats at them madly- But as the board is like... dead... ( which makes Mika sad. ;.; ) Mika is posting Shuppy. :3

I also got off my lazy bum and finished Kyoko's full char sheet (Never finished it. xD) so I'll edit that later. -is a lazy bum- o-o

I've also decided to distinquish my pokemon's speech (And in this case, seperate paragraphs) in different colored fonts so that I don't make my head hurt. ^^;;;;;; Sorry for the inconvienience.

Finally, so there is no chance of me having to repeat myself, the Vincent Fan Club I'm referring to in my sig is not, I repeat, not, a fan club to the WaiWai Vincent. I'm referring to Vinny-poo from Final Fantasy 7. n.n


-IC-

Shuppy giggled quietly, inaudible to the naked ear. She was enjoying this entirely too much. Watching Chain squirm lightly with his inability to locate her invisible position was more enjoyable than, to her, winning a tournament would be. All three of the children seemed to sense her but couldn't see her and as they discussed their various situations, there was an uneasy feeling about them that they either couldn't explain or they couldn't locate the source of that feeling. But this is getting interesting. The boy on the bed, Valen I think.... He's very bothered by that other boy.... and that girl... She's the one who insulted Kyo-chan earlier as well as that twit Rosairie... If it wouldn't blow my cover, I'd shoot a nice big Shadow Ball towards her eye.... yes that would be enjoyable... Smirking a bit broader, she continued to watch the conversation unfold, forcefully adding more tension to the room then was already there.
 
OOC:

Whoa, I need to post here more often. o.o;;

Like, my badness.



IC:



Avery rolled her eyes as Cona began rambling about evil corporations; just like old times. Well, if you counted a few hours ago old times. Avery then proceeded to fold her arms as Cona continued, stating she would also like to eat something at the moment. Of course, she also said that she wouldn't mind going with JJ to get his phone fixed. That certainly saved Avery from a moral dilema, or whatever those things were called.

"Yeah.. we could all just go to that electronics shop and get JJ's phone fixed. By the time it's done, our Pokemon will be healed and we can get something to eat then. Is that okay with.." Avery trailed off as she was about to address JJ, because she had just turned to the boy and realized that he had.. fainted. And fallen to the floor. While she had been talking. And she hadn't noticed at all. In fact, she had missed the blonde's episode entirely, and it seemed that he was waking up from whatever had happened to him.. while she wasn't paying attention.

"JJ! Dude, are you okay!? If you're pulling some kind of joke, then it isn't funny!" Avery snapped, although the worry in her voice was plain. Duh, it's hard not to get worried when someone just spontaneously faints like that. Overall, though, she hoped this wasn't going to attract a huge crowd.. she could already feel eyes laying on the three of them.
 
OOc-

No worries Plushie, I feel the same way too.^^;;

Ic-

"Jeffery!! Gah!"as if arguing where to go and not splitting up was enough. Cona turned around and gasped as JJ fainted on the floor, the girl suppressed the urge to scream, deciding that it was better to approach the boy to check if he was....still alive.

"See! Like I said!! I knew something like this was bound to happen!!"she turned to Avery with a frantic expression on her face, if not for the current predicament, she would have said it in a 'I told you so' tone. Proceeding to face Jeffery again, Cona bit her lip whilst placing her hat back onto her head wondering how was she supposed to check if some guy who just fainted because of evil spirits was okay. The numerous stares directed towards them weren't helping one bit. If one would have even considered to call a nurse...

Slowly sitting down beside the blonde trainer the girl's hand couldn't help but shake as she placed it on his forehead."If you're still breathing, just move or something. If you're dead, please, please don't move."she mumbled ready to jump back if anything were to happen.
 
{ooc| Page 30, dedicated to all things green!

Yay, my exams are nearly over. All I've got left is History... (darn you, Weimar Republic!) and IT, which can honestly be bluffed it's way through. Like.... 'what does the page down button do?' ¬¬;}

Rosairie's thoughts had been on Reina and Valen, for some reason. She didn't like either of them. She didn't trsut either of them. Yet... she trused those crazy chanting monks even less, and if those two were against them, she was on their side. That still didn't mean they were-
She glanced up, as Kyoko began to mumble in japanese.
"Sweetie, I don't..." Rosairie began, but Kyoko was already muttering again.
"Kyoko!" Rosairie snapped, slightly harsher than she usually would. "I'm not running a way, and I won't let you run away either!"

The girl clenched her teeth and exhaled loudly, while Silence leapt off the chair to hide. He didn't like it when Rosairie ot angry. "I'm not running away. I used to run awya all the time. Or...like... use money to get out of a bad situation. I wanna... I don't know, I want to fight, I guess. Does that make sense?" she paused, and glanced at Silence. He quivered as her gaze felll on him, and Rosairie's expression softened.
"I'm sory, I didn't mean to snap.. I was just... frustrated...." se muttered, half to her jolteon, half to her friend. "Especially at that darned Valen! And his silly little girlfriend too!"

She bent down and scooped up Silence, cradelling him against her chest. He purred softly.

She blinked lightly, tilting her head, "So... you'd stop me from leaving?" Scoffing softly, she shook her head, "This is bothersome...but you got a point. Anyways, I'm gunna go give this to Valen-sempai." She folded the note five times horizontally before folding it once in half. Taking her pen once more, she scribbled the WaiWai logo on the front, "Ugh... I can't draw worth crap... He'll probably think some three year old drew it...." Shaking her head, she looked up towards Rosairie as she retied her shoes, "He's next door, right?" She slipped off the side of the bed, shaking lightly but eventually straightened herself out, "Mmm? Nee-chan, aren't you coming?" She blinked again, smiling sweetly, "It's okay Nee-chan, I get... yelled at alot so I'm used to it." Giggling sweetly, she tugged at the girl's arm lightly, "Come on come on! We can go throw a water balloon or something at Valen-sempai and that meanie Reina!"
 
For a moment, Rosairie looked like she would say no. She didn't like any of the people that habited next door. Still, what had she just said? That she wouldn't run away again? Well, avoiding those stuck-up pigs with bad fashion sense counted as fleeing, so she would just have to accompany Kyoko!
Rosairie smiled. "'Course I'll come with."
She put Silence back on the floor, and the little jolteon stared up at her with his blank eyes. "C'mon, me darling, it won't take long." she assured him, and Silence trotted along almost amiaby.
Rosairie grinned, despite herself. "Or even better, custard balloons!"
Rosairie giggled to herself, and strolled out the room.
 
"Custard balloons with whipped cream on the side!" She echoed the older trainer, scampering out the door towards the other and after she knocked once, quite quietly and waited only two seconds before raising her foot and sharply but smoothly (And most importanntly, accurately) kicked the door right open with a bang. The little scowl she'd set on her face for the duration of the kick faded into her sweet, almost sickenly sweet even though the smile wasn't forced or faked at all, little grin as she raised a hand in greeting... and began to flap it almost wildly

"Hallo!" Crossing over Chain, she poked him lightly, "Hoooooooooooow are you? Thanks muchly for saving me earlier." She bowed hyperactively, "I really appreciated it!" Turning towards Reina, she darted over to the girl, clasping her hands behind her back as she swayed lightly from side to side, "Reina-nee-chan! Is your hand any better? Did a meanie doctor hurt it?" Nodding, and obviously without waiting for any response, she tottered over to Valen but before she said anything, she pounced to the ground and peered under the bed, pranced over to the closet and looked in there then finally peered inside the bathroom before returning to Valen's beside, schooching up onto the edge of it, "Well, I looked, you know? And Vinny-sama isn't here so here!" She handed him the heart covered letter, "If you promise to give that to him I'll see if I can't smuggle you in a milk shake of some sort. Also..." She reached forward, gently patting his head, "Is your head okie? You looked like it really hurt." she nodded, her face saddening lightly, "And because I was an idiot and all, you hadta wait... I'm sorry." Slipping back to the floor, she pattered back over to Rosairie, happily giggling towards the other girl, "O-k-ie! I'm done here so unless you three need anything from me..." She trailed off, looking back towards them expenctently.

As Kyoko's Shuppet increased its aura, Chain felt himself stiffen. There's definately another presence in the room . . . And, I'm beginning to tire of tolerating it. Palming a Pokeball, Chain prepared to release Scyther, musing silently, "If there's anything here, maybe Scyther will be able to find it with Detect. It isn't certain . . . but, at least it's better than doing nothing."

It was then that the door burst open, revealing Rosairie and an unnaturally cheerful Kyoko. Though he automatically flinched slightly as the pink-haired took it upon herself to poke him, Chain--somewhat stunned by Kyoko's oddly positive demeanor--could find nothing to say in reply. Thus, closing his hand about Scyther's Pokeball, he simply continued to observe Kyoko's antics, slight apprehension crossing his features. I doubt this will go over well . . . The tension was bad enough earlier. I wonder how Reina and Valen with respond to this . . . ?
 
Chain was not the only one to react to the change in the Shuppet's aura, nor the only one to reach for a pokéball. When the emanations strengthened, all doubt about their phantom eavesdropper was blown away, now he was positive that there was one in the room, in fact, he felt like he could more or less pin-point it on his own, and a Stun Spore from Smaelaugh would certainly have given him the upper hand, but before he had the time to unleash his Venonat, the door was opened once more, making way for an appartition that quite easily left the ghost pokémon as a second priority;

Calm down...don't do anything violent...Valen told himself, forcefully maintaining his calm expression even as he was experiencing an increasing loathing towards this pathetic little upstart who had barged into the room and was now rushing about in the sickeingly hyper kind of manner that always gave Valen a strong urge to kick something small and fluffy-looking as hard as he could. And had the room not been so crowded and Valen not been feeling so strangely benevolent, the pat on the head and the heart-covered letter that Kyoko proceeded to shove onto the boy would surely had been like begging for a death sentence as far as the girl was concerned. She was like all of Kachiko's bad sides rolled up into one and then amplified ten-fold, and the thought of Kyoko being Rosairie's sister began to seem all the more plausible for Valen.

"Actually...I do." the boy said in a would-be friendly voice, a vicious urge from the back of his mind readily springing into action, "Two things, in fact. First off..." he hurled the envelope straight back to Kyoko in a fairly hard manner, "Go hand that letter over yourself. I am not the errand boy of anyone concerned, least of all you. And secondly..." he pulled out Smaelaugh's pokéball from beneath his covers and whispered a hurried command to the pokémon inside before dropping the object on the floor, the Venonat immediately springing into action and releasing a cloud of Stun Spores over the invisible Shuppet.

"I was just wondering if that belonged to you." the boy finished in a completely innocent voice, nodding towards the silhouette of the ghost pokémon which had become visible as an empty space in the thick spore cloud and leaning back a bit, wondering how the girl was going to react to this. If the little brat wanted to play with the big boys, Valen decided for himself, then she had better have more in store than a ridiculously over-sweet demeanor and heart-covered envelopes. Valen had never tolerated being patronized or made a fool of, and annoying little girls doing both were certainly not an exception to that rule.

The fully wide and open eyes of the blonde male were staring straight at the ceiling. Hundreds of tiles all making it up, and all extremely bright...like...like as if the sun was there, in that very room.
JJ closed his eyes for an exceptionally long blink, before opening them, in an attempt to be certain of completely vivid vision, and nothing blurry or multiplying. The bright light seemed to have been the light attatched to the ceiling to provide neccecary sight in that room.
He shuddered for a moment as he felt something warm move along his forehead, moving his eyes around, he saw the fugure of a young person....who appeared to be female, wearing some sort of chefs hat on her head.

''Uuuuuhhhhhh....'' He moaned while raising one of his own hands up and resting it on the side of his head, he has suddenly gained a terrible headache.

''Wha....what happened?'' JJ said questioningly. He mind began to race, why was he on the floor, what floor was he even on, where was he, how had this headache come on so suddenly, or...was it always there......and why did he have the distinct instinct
to run away from this place...
run away and never come back?
 

Reina
-----------------

As Reina noticed both Valen and Chain reach for their pokeballs, she repressed the urge to reach for her own. None of her pokemon were in any condition to battle after that fight with the robed men, and would most likely just get in the way. Plus, she was fairly confident that Chain and Valen could handle whatever was floating above them.

However, to Reina's discomfort, there popped in Kyoko, followed by Rosairie, and the way in which they came in was so... annoying. Reina couldn't help but throw out a look of anger and surprise. What were they doing here? Couldn't they just go on their way? Why must they perpetuate the agony of everyone involved? Some people just went looking for trouble.

Reina just watched in silence as Kyoko tossed an odd, heart covered message to Valen and proceed to pat him on the head. The look on Valen's face, the letter with the little hearts, and the patting would have looked quite humorous had it not been for the fact that Reina disliked Kyoko and pretty much everything about how she acted. Not to mention she was practically making fun of Valen, who wasn't doing anything really to the girl, and so he didn't deserve any of it.

As Reina suspected he would, Valen retorted Kyoko's attempt at stunning him by throwing the letter back, and sending a Stun Spore up to the ghost pokemon above them.

It was then that Reina remembered the Shuppet, and then wondered how much it had heard. It didn't matter though, Kyoko and Rosairie probably weren't that interested in that stuff, they probably wanted to go have some shopping time at a mall or something.

Reina was then giving the two girls a look that clearly said: Well? What are you going to say to that?

However, before Reina had the chance to hear what was about to be said, a nurse pushed her way past the girls and over to the redhead. "Excuse me! My goodness... why are there so many people in here? Visiting hours are practically up, you lot should clear out," she said in a shrill voice. She looked around 40 or so in age, her hair was wrapped up tightly in a bun, and she was slightly overweight. She also noticed Shuppy.

"My stars! What on Earth is this all about?! Whoever's pokemon that is, return it now! And you," she turned to Valen, "Return your Venonat! This is not a battle room, this is a resting room! Where is Reina?"

Reina stepped forward, "Uh, that's me."

"Well, I am to place a splint on your hand, come here!" she barked to Reina, grabbing the girl's forearm and yanking her over to her. She had a side pack with supplies and a special aluminum finger splint that she strapped effectively onto Reina's hand. Reina proceeded to frown and sigh as the woman fussed over her, and was glad to see that she was done quite fast. At least some staff here didn't look as inexperienced as Dr. Kipling.

When she was finished, she turned around briskly, and waddled out, with a final word to all of them, "Visiting hours. Over. Everyone out so that the boy can get some sleep!" She shut the door behind her.

Reina glared a little as the woman left. She hoped that Kyoko, Rosairie, and Chain would hurry up so that she could have a minute alone with Valen. She had to thank him for something he had done earlier that day.
 
{ooc| LMAO! Mel! Shopping time at a mall... priceless.... I which we had Malls in England, we've got to traipse up and down high streets if we want new clothes. xP}

Rosairie pursed her lips, as Valen threw Kyoko's letter straight back at the girl. She hated him so much. She wasn't sure where Kyoko's brightness had suddenly sprung from, but it was definetly better than seeing her fainting and feeble, like she was an hour or so ago.
Then that 'Smelly' pokemon appeared, out of nowhere, and cast a stun spore, revealing Kyoko's Shuppy - it all happened so fast. Rosairie was faintly aware of Silence growling beside her, but her eyes were fixed on the humans. For a moment, the atmosphere in there could have been cut with a knife.
Rosairie grabbed Kyoko's arm out of fear for the girl; all Rosairie could do was stare at Valen with an increasing hatred, while Silence snarled at her feet. The little jolteon wasn't stupid, or disturbed, or any of those other things strangers constantly claimed he was. He knew a threatening situation when he saw one, and-

Then, suddenly, a nurse bustled in, busied herself with Reina for a bit, and exited - which, Rosairie had to admit, did sort of ruin the situation.
She was about to apologise and drag Kyoko away, but Silence had watched enough.
He could sense that terrible, malicious aura radiating from Valen and Reina. His expression was calm, but Silence could feel his hatred - it was like a horrible, nasty stench, that hung in the air like a warning. Could Rosairie and Kyoko not msell it? Of course not. If they could they would have....fled by now....
Silence stepped away from his trainer, the snarl that thrummed in his throat getting gradually louder. His lip pulled back, revealing white pointed teeth. His eyes narrowed, his fur bristled and his back arched, sparks of electricity dancing on his coat. He padded forward.

Rosairie watched her pokemon caiously. "Silence, leave it." she snapped.
 
-OoC-
Mel, I second Charon's lol. xD That was hillarious.


-IC-

Kyoko's first reaction was to just quite simply backhand Valen across the face for being so rude and obnoxious. This she would've done had he not called out that horrid bug pokemon and cast stun spore on the vent. Thankfully, Shuppy had avoided it but the green dust had left a sillouette that was much too clear to be missed where she'd been. Tightening her fist, she quickly swallowed her anger before looking up at the vent with a sweet little smile, "Shuppy. Can you please please PLEASE come down here?"

The Shuppet sneezed about five times before complying and floating to Kyoko's arm, tilting its head at her shyly. Why wasn't Kyoko screaming bloody murder at her? Here, she'd just gone off, might she add, again, without her trainer's premission and she was getting... a smile? <Nya? What's going on Kyoko? Why aren't you killing me-> She was cut off by a sharp bonk to the head that barely smarted but the message behind it was clear. That bonk hadn't been a punishment, more of a reprimand. "Shuppy-CHAN you need to stay ON my head mmkays? Otherwise you'll get me into trouble and then you gotta go deal with Daddy's Gengar... If you have a good reason, just run it by me first kay?"

<Ah... Um... Good point.> She nodded her figmentive head repeatedly, quickly catching onto Kyoko's hints, <Running off to learn information that others won't share with you bad... I should just stay on my trainer's head like a good little Shuppet.>

Kyoko nodded, returning the pokemon to its ball, "I'll deal with you more later." However, the moment she looked towards Valen, even smiling as she was, her eyes told him a completely different story as she once more crossed back over to him, breaking Rosairie's grip on her arm without so much as a second thought. Pattering across the floor, she handed the letter back to him, "No. You're his son at least in some sort of way. You know where he is, you know what he does and I don't have time to go running around looking for him, ya see? I got stuff I need to do, gotta talk a bit with Nee-chan, but you, you're stuck here in this bed at least overnight and I doubt your father would leave you here alone. So please, give it to him, mmkay?" Leaving it in his unwilling hands, she turned towards the door and leaned down to gently stroke Silence's head, "Si... let's go kay? Just let it go like Nee-chan said too." Standing back up, she took Rosairie's elbow and dragged her out of the room, "Neeeeee-chan! We should go to the Pokemon Center, shouldn't we?"

She couldn't help but smirk as she pattered down the hallway. She knew very well that Valen was no idiot. If his brain was functioning, he would've understood that though her tone had been pleasent, her words were nothing near it. Hopefully she'd pushed as many buttons as she could, as she'd tried to insult every inch that she could... and hopefully it had worked.
 
OOC: Like, woah...Kyoko is really bent on pushing Valen down the evil path, isn't she? o.o This should be interesting...

IC:

If looks could have killed, Kyoko would surely had been dead thrice over by now with the way Valen was looking at her, and were it not for the nurse's interference, the boy would probably done something violent, even by his own standards. Despite having obviously aimed to provoke Valen, Kyoko had probably not expected a reaction of such proportions as the one which was raging within Valen's mind; not his usual passive dislike for the world in general, not even the active loathing he reserved for people like Rosairie. No, it went deeper than that, a far darker, far more primeval urge from deep within his mind, and it took all of Valen's willpower to keep him from obeying the urges it gave him. Granted, there weren't very many useful objects in his environment, but the bed seemed to have a few adjustment features, yes, those hinges could surely be used to crush her detestable little fingers, the door had potential for such too. That nightstand was too unveildy, but perhaps a drawer could be dislodged for use as a blunt weapon? The window certainly had its uses as well, provided that he could break it. Yes, that repulsively pretend-sweet little face was definitely begging for a sharp glass shard or three...for a moment, all Valen found himself knowing for sure was that he wanted to hurt Kyoko, not just psychically by words and behaviour, but physically, to harm and maim this obnoxious squirt of a girl in front of him until she was ready to plead for death to put an end to it, to completely strip her of that false sense of security and worth, make her understand just how little her pathetic concerns and life really meant to him. At first, the boy found these urges both frightening and strangely appealing at the same, truly indescisive about which path to follow, but when that overweight old nurse with her strict authoritan manner barged in and began hurling command right and left, Valen finally snapped out of it, once again finding himself slightly frightened by what thoughts he was capable of having, and so relieved that he had been sidetracked from them that he didn't bother to phrase a snappish remark for the nurse.

"Return, Smaelaugh." he said simply, pointing the pokéball at his Venonat and returning the bug pokémon to his original place before clipping the object back onto his belt, "And what are you still staring at?" he snapped at Rosairie who had not been quite quick enough at vacating the room, "Shouldn't you be out clinging to that little adoptive sister of yours or shopping or whatever it is that girls with lots of money and no brains do to pass the time?" Valen's words were of course nothing more than the usual insult, but his eyes seemed to tell a completely different story; Get away... he said in his mind, his hand clenching into a fist around the envelope and quickly crumpling it, Get away before I do something we'll both regret...

{ooc| Also, there is a reason why Silence can 'sense' strong negative emotions - he was badly neglected as a kit, locked up in the dark where he couldn't see or hear anything. He developed... alternative senses. It does happen! *was watching animal planet* Dogs can be specially trained to detect the tiny chemical imbalences in a human's brain which lead to fits/strokes/etc, and most dogs can 'detect' moodswing sin their owner before they happen. Yay.}

Rosairie's forehead creased in fear, as Kyoko bounded out the room. She wanted to folow, but Silence was fixed to the spot, his teeth still bared.
"Si?" Rosairie repeated, almost anxiously.
The jolteon turned, slowly. He stared at her for a moment, before padding in the direction of the door.

Just as Rosairie was turning to leave, Valen spoke up again. And his words. They hurt. She clenched her eyes shut, as if trying to block out his words.
"Don't say that," she pleaded, "Don't say that when you don't even know me!" she struggled to meet Valen's hatefull, murderous gaze - but she did, somehow. "I don't want money. All I ever wanted was to make people feel better. To be nice to people!" For a moment, Rosairie's eyes flashed to Silence. "You, Valen, are a spitefull, selfish, vicious man. And I. Saved. Your. Life." She glared straight back at him, despite the feebleness of her words, before scooping up Silence and exiting the room. She smiled to herself as she lefted. That'll really hurt his ego... she thought, with an unpleasant sort of satisfaction.

The second she was outside, Rosairie slumped against the wall. She opened her arms and let her Jolteon jump to the floor. He skidded to a halt, and turned to stare cautiously up at his trainer.
The girl groaned loudly.
 
OOC: Yeah, I don't think Kyoko realizes how dangerous Valen is (actually, I don't think anybody really does... perhaps not even Valen). ^-^; By the way, your post creeped me out Alter. Just thought you should know that. XD

And Rosaire!! She let out her own secret!! Reina's not going to be happy about that... o.o

And yay for cool doggies that can sense stuff! Though, it's not cool if they can do it for reasons like Silence. ;_;


Reina
------------------

She thought her jaw would drop. How could she?! How could she tell Valen that right now?! Surely he would make the connection between the time he was out cold and what Rosairie was saying.... Rosairie sure was doing a poor job at being nice when she did things like that. Granted, Reina wasn't all that nice to her, but to say something like that to someone who has already gotten so angry... hadn't they done enough? Reina saw the way Valen had been staring at Kyoko, and it was a look that was nowhere near furious; it was much angrier. She wondered why such weak people like Kyoko and Rosairie could still act so brave in front of it. Though, just because they acted brave didn't mean that they felt that way.

What did they think? That by acting as if Valen was some messenger boy that they would somehow make things right? No... the way Kyoko had acted was more one of teasing revenge or something like that. Oh who cared what it was?! It was stupid, and were it not for the two girls' rapid departure after their comments, Reina would have laid a punch or two on them, regardless of the fact that her punching hand was bandaged. She'd break a bone or two to prove a point.

Reina suddenly wondered to herself... would Valen think that she had purposely kept Rosairie's secret from him? Would he know of the promise she had made to her? She would have to explain her role in this, and she wouldn't lie about any of it. She was an honest person by default, and she regretted ever having kept it this long. She found herself looking at Chain suddenly.

"Thanks for the info earlier Chain, but... I think perhaps you should go," she said to the boy gruffly, though she was sure the boy would have the sense to hightail it out of the room by now.

She looked over to Valen, her expression quite serious, and wondering what to say she found herself saying nothing. She then tried to gather her thoughts and took a deep breath, "This has just not been your day... has it? I... I'm sorry. I have to apologize for two things. The first is for letting Rosairie help me bandage you up, and the second is for not telling you that she helped me before she blurted it out like an idiot. I never wanted to keep it from you, if that's what you were thinking, I was planning on telling you about it after Chain and those annoying twits left. She acts like she was the only one to help you, like you would have died if not for her. I was the one that got there first, she just came rushing over and butt in. I was dizzy, hurting and sick to my stomach, and concerned about your arm... so I didn't care who it was that helped me. I should have turned her away, I should have just gotten someone else to help me. Then she got all serious and told me not to tell you, because she didn't want you to think you owed her anything. I just wanted her to go away, so I said I wouldn't say anything. I knew you'd find out somehow, considering Cespenar and Kachiko both saw her help, so it wasn't a big concern. Once we got here though, and I came to my senses, I realized that I had no alliegance to Rosairie, and so I decided that once you were awake, I'd get it over with and tell you. I don't like keeping secrets, and I certainly don't like keeping secrets from a friend."

Was the word 'friend' too strong? She suddenly felt a bit nervous. She had really liked the prospect of her and Valen being friends... but if he didn't trust her after this then she would respect his wishes.

OOC: Hm... that was really long. .___.

Heh, looks like I succeeded, then. xD But yeah, I've actually been told that I write downright scary stuff sometimes. Like that phony newspaper column about why the cane should still be used as a disciplinary method in schools. Apparently (And this is what the people who read it told me) the only stylistic difference I had from a grouchy old headmaster was the sloppiness of my pargraphing. There's a really nasty person somewhere inside me, yes there is. o.o But yeah, Valen doesn't quite realize his own evil side, at least...not yet. >D Now what did I mean by that? Not telling of course, that would be a spoiler. Nyuk, nyuk, I love saying that. xD

Incidentally, I've finally got some trades done! W00T! ^0^ I now have a Charmander, a Treecko, a Poliwag, and a whole bunch of Eevees. I'd have an Elekid too, but Arty went and got the eggs mixed up so I got my own Spheal egg back instead. <.< Oh well, at least it has Rock Slide and Earthquake for all the good it will do it. xD

Anyways,

IC:

Look who's talking... Valen thought angrily at Rosairie's remark, that doe-eyed hypocrite wasn't really in any position to demand such treatment considering the way she had stamped him the very moment they met. And what was with her falling back onto pleading and looking sad again?! Why couldn't she rage and fight even once in her pathetic life?! Why was she so bent on deprieving him of even that tiny satisfication?! Being nice to people, as if, had she not just barged in with her little miniature clone to make fun of him during one of his few weak moments? How dare that insolent brat stand there and make such bald-faced lies?! The boy would surely have exploded into a fierce stream of counter-arguments had it not been for Rosairie's final words.

Saved? he echoed in his mind, feeling very much like someone had just dumped a bucket of ice cold water over him, saved by...Rosairie? She had never-no, she couldn't possibly have...not her of all people...the boy turned his attention to Reina, fiercely maintaining a faint hope of hearing her say that nothing like that had ever happened and that Rosairie was just making things up, but no, Valen had never been good at optimism, and the expression on Reina's face had already explained the essential truth before her words did.

'This has just not been your day...has it?' those were surely the truest words he had heard on the whole day. Not only had he been forced back into sociality by circumstances, made to endure the presence of so many people who repulsed him, faced treaths from some hooded freak, beatings from an Aggron, and harassment from these nightmare 'visions' in his sleep, but now this; he was...indebted to one of the people on this earth that he loathed most, and not only that, but the only one of these people whom he trusted and respected turned out to have been involved in hiding things from him. It was all just...so much. For a moment, the boy just stared at the covers of his bed with a slight tinge of pain breaching through the mask of indeference he always wore as an expression, unable to come to terms with how he should deal with this situation. Namely, what should he think about Reina? On one hand, he felt betrayed and dissapointed by how much her decision resembled those of the people he hated so much; Slythe and Lori in particular and the Team Viper administration in general. But on the other hand, Reina's motives for hiding these things seemed different from the others', she wasn't doing it because she wanted to control or decieve him, but becase she was afraid of his reaction. Wasn't that...kind of how he felt about speaking of his Viper background? If he condemned Reina for what she had done, wouldn't that be like condemning himself? Then again, didn't he deserve to be condemned? It was all very confusing and hard to handle at once, and the boy found himself wishing that he at least had Seirini to speak with, the Arbok was the only one to truly know his background and personality, both for better and for worse, and she was the only one whom he could truly act as he wished around. But there was no way to get the serpent pokémon out for speaking with without running the risk of some nosey hospital worker jumping on him, and he certainly couldn't just duck out of answering to have an emergency conference in the bathroom or something as stupid as that. No, he'd have to deal with this himself, and there was something in Reina's words which had struck a chord in Valen's mind...friend, she had called him...friend. Valen couldn't even remember the last time someone had used that term for him in anything but the sarcastic sense.

"I see..." he replied at last, nodding slowly as he finally lifted his gaze away from the covers just a bit, "And...even though I can't say that I enjoy being lied to, I think I can understand why you did it."

It was Rosairie's fault. he concluded fiercely in his mind. It was all her idea, all her urging, and Reina had just been experiencing a weak moment and fallen for it, she couldn't be blamed. After all, everything falls sooner or later...everything falls...

"I forgive you." he concluded simply, "Just...don't make a habit of it."
 
OOC: Well, they'd be right. You sir, are a very good writer. ^^ I can't write evil stuff very good, though I am getting better at it.

Yayness! I've discovered that they play Monty Python stuffers on the BBC America channel at a time when there's nothing on the TV and I'm bored! Oh yeah! Heh heh, I saw a really funny skit about Deja-Vu the other night on it. Cracked me up. British humor = teh best!! ^-^


Reina
-----------------

"Really? You do?" Reina replied, her face brightening for a moment, though as she continued to talk, it seeped back into its previous serious look, "I wouldn't have blamed you if you had told me to get lost. Like I told you before, girls at school used to pretend to be my friends... then they would spread rumors about the things I told them, keep secrets from me, all that loveliness... and then I'd find out and they would deny that they ever had those intentions just to see me fight with myself about whether or not to believe them."

She looked at him with a frown, "I hate those people; I've certainly no plans of making lying and deception a habit. I wish... I wish I could show you how I think and feel so that I could prove to you that I'm being truthful. I'm afraid words is as good as I can do though."

Wearing a nervous grin, she trailed off into silence, not really sure what else to say. It was ironic, that she had hated those girls so much and ended up making a mistake to cause herself to look just like they did to her. It was so... embarrassing. She hadn't even noticed if Chain had left or not, nor did she really care if he saw what she was saying.

OOC: Ah!!! I'm late to Public Speaking!! XD *dies*
