[retrogrades]

[When Chihiro comes into view she's looking pretty sick--tired, feverish, and just overall pathetic. She's coughing as she turns on the communicator, and it won't stop there.]

I hate to ask this [cough] b-but does anyone have an alarm clock? Or know where to get one? It's [cough] really impor-- [cough] important that I get one. Thank y--

[As she tries to say thank you and end the transmission, a fit of coughs takes over. It lasts for a minute or so, and as she looks back in her hands at the end, her eyes widen in fear.]

Is this... b-blood?

I'm sure they will!

[battledancing]

So am I.

But what about you, Chihiro? Do you have someone to take care of you here?

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

Ah, no... I arrived here by myself, and no one I know is here. But that's okay; it seems like I've had to take care of myself for a long time.

[battledancing]

I see. [You really shouldn't be alone when you're sick like this. ;;]

How about I go visit you for a while? You could meet my Pokemon, if you want.

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

Really? That sounds fun! Oh, but I wouldn't want you or your Pokemon to catch whatever it is that I have...

[battledancing]

Pokemon don't usually catch human diseases like that. And besides, whatever is affecting you seems to be spreading throughout the city; even if I stay home, I'll be as likely to catch it as I would otherwise.

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

When you put it like that, I guess you're right. And if your family won't catch it, then that's good, too.

[battledancing]

[fff she's so cute ;;]

Would you mind telling me where you live, then?

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

Oh, of course! I'm in the Marshall Apartments, room 207. Oh, and a doctor said that he'll come to see me, so you don't have to walk with me to the hospital anymore.

[battledancing]

Ah, that's good. Still, I can at least keep you company until he comes.


[It's up to everyone involved, really! And no, I don't mind handwaving. o/]

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

Okay! It... it'll be like we're hanging out together!

[battledancing]

Exactly! And once you're feeling all better, maybe we can actually do something together.

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

That would be really nice! What's something really fun we can do together?

[battledancing]

Well, we did talk about trying to make some ice cream before. Perhaps we could do that?

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

O-Oh, right... we did, didn't we? That would be fun to do, yes!

[battledancing]

It would be a wonderful way to celebrate your recovery, too, wouldn't it?

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

Yes, it would! I'll be looking forward to it!

[battledancing]

So will I! But for now, we'll just hang out for a while with no ice cream. I'll be there as soon as I can, all right?

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

Okay! I'll be waiting!

[battledancing]

[ooc: Want to commentlog or assume it happened? I'm fine with either! o/]

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

Action!

[battledancing]

[ooc: Fff there's no way to know unless you ask, is there? ♥]

[And just as promised, it doesn't take Cynthia much longer to get there, her Pokemon in tow. With a smile on her face, she knocks on the door.]

Chihiro, are you there?

Action!

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

Y-Yes, I'm here! It's, um, it's nice to meet you in person, Cynthia-san.

Action!

[battledancing]

You, too, Chihiro. [She reaches out to pat the girl on the head.] May I come in?

Action!

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

Of course! P-Please, sit wherever you like.
