"Guys, I just said... nevermind."
She looks up at the ceiling, disappointment and anger taking her over.
"I hope you had fun, being able to duke it out in a hospital like that. It took real guts."
Long live the New Bev.[I breathe a sigh of relief. Good fucking riddance...]
[I lean against the wall, holding my hand up to my forehead. Hearing Finley, the disappointment in her voice cuts deep. Maybe this all kinda was my fault, in a weird, fucked-up cosmic sense. I guess I didn't mean to get so heated over this, but...whatever. I turn my attention back to Marlon. Take it away, man.]

"Stop FUCKING trying to FUCKING distract me, for FUCK'S SAKES!!" Lars bellowed out to whoever it was that was yelling at Jani, mistakenly thinking they were yelling at him instead. ...Great, he thought. Now he was going to get confused thinking about what the hell this 'infection' is supposed to be.
And then he had to stop and massage his neck-band slightly; he needed to stop bellowing so damn hard, especially with that particular injury...

Purrloin Jani by shrubBird
*a sweatdrop forms on the Unown-V's pseudo-cranium* Not quite, I am afraid. To properly execute a Roar, one must tap into their raw animal instincts. It must be gutteral, senseless, but most importantly — intimidating.
*Voxno looks out, and urges Dana* Give it one more try. Focus on your inner animal this time.
Oda-ism time!
*Jani can sense where Lars is, in spite of the throw and the (fortunately smaller) other target mixing things up. she thinks to herself* (I could just go straight for the Earth Strike
, but he'll be ready for that and probably dodge. Maybe if I...)
*noting the direction Lars walked, she makes a little sand poof up in front of Lars, and then attempts to execute a Dig
on Lars as he reacts, shouting* EARTH STRIKE!

Guys, let me take you back to when we first entered Silversand. I felt a strange sense of dread...and then I saw it. I saw a vision of something awful. Then, I heard a faint "Who did that? Whoever did it, I will find them." I thought nothing of it, until Jani got attacked by...the cat. In this next vision that I had, I heard my name get called out. I felt an overwhelming sense of dread, as if I've just fucked something up massively. Then, at the beach earlier tonight, i had it happen again. I heard another faint message being uttered: have you seen a Gallade?, presumably before you guys were attacked. Now, what I am trying to say is..
(Tears begin streaming down my face.)
Is that because I snooped into something I shouldn't have, I almost indirectly caused the deaths of five of my only friends in this world, and have possibly scarred Mila for life.
(I collapse onto the floor.)
Please guys....I'm so, so sorry for the grief and anguish I've caused....can you find it in your souls to please forgive me?
June 27thShe feels the silence in the room.
The sudden bitterness.
And she sighs. "I'm sorry. I just keep thinking everything is magically gonna come out happy and peaceful. That's the reason I'm in this fucking room... I'm sorry."
She looks at Niles and Andy. "I'm so sorry, you two. I didn't mean to scare you. I know why you did it. Thank you."
Finally, she listens to Marlon. "Of course. You couldn't have known. It's okay. Sorry."
Long live the New Bev.While still massaging his neck, the sudden poof of sand right in front of Lars made him tense up and stay in place, raising another Protect shield; an instinctive reaction to a very sudden and unexpected event. If he had been more alert, he may have attempted to roll backwards, instead.

Those sell-by-dates won't stop me because I can't read!Mila has managed to calm herself down now, and looks over to the rest of the group in the room. On realizing that they're not holding up too well either, she holds out her paws weakly as if to try and get them to stop.
"Hey... I'm not the one to be worried about, and it's late. Why don't we go and get some rest. Us being here won't change anything..."
Mila turns back around to Finley.
"Though... if it's okay with you, I think it would make me feel better if I could stay here."

I need to update these things more often"Don't cry, it's okay. We can..."
She feels something welling up herself, and...
She cries. Sobs. She lets it all out as she grabs Mila tight. "Thank you. You can stay here. Thank you..."
Long live the New Bev."Look, Marlon..." [I want to word what I say very carefully...I'd hate to drive the guy into a depressive fit, especially after he poured out his heart for us just now.] "...it was a...a fluke. It was just bad luck, you couldn't control what he did..." [That feeling from the throne room returns... Should I have even said anything?]
Purrloin Jani by shrubBird
*Jani bumps into the shield with a few inches of sand between Lars and her, uttering* MRRTH *of her already botched attack name before realizing it failed. she attempts to dig further down and try again*
(What the hell am I going to do about that shield?)
Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus.Mila isn't quite sure what to do in this situation. Sure, she remembers back from her old life comforting others, but recently it's usually been her who needs the comforting. In the end, she just leans in slightly and holds onto Finley gently, not saying anything. She hopes nothing needs to be said.
I need to update these things more often(I decide that I've had enough crying, except for a few tears, and turn to Eliot.)
You're right, Eliot. Nothing in this world is controllable. Every day we have to face moments that we reflect upon and wish that we could have changed, but in the end we just have to accept the reality that it creates. I'm not going to let this event bog me down, not one bit!
(I turn to everyone else in the room and stand up.)
Because we will learn from this, bounce back from it, and we will be stronger together as friends!

"O-okay then, I just yell really loud or something right? I'll try if you think it'll work." Dana gulps, then clears her throat.
"HEY YOU GUYS, FUCKING STOP THIS SHIT! YOU'RE NOT BEING PRODUCTIVE AT ALL AND YOU'RE JUST GOING TO MAKE THE INFECTION WOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRSSSSEEE!" The volume of Dana's shout seems almost amplified, so it probably worked?
Afterwards she turns to Vox and says, "Like that?"
we will survive.
