Well, (yawn), I'm really tired. I think I'll head back to the inn and get some much needed rest. It's been a long day. Good night, guys! Get well soon, Finley!
(I wave as I leave the room and start heading back towards the inn.)
(I've completely forgotten to tell Finley about how I want to stay in Silversand.)

Purrloin Jani by shrubBird
ITT: Jani becomes a sadomasochist. Also, more Oda-isms.
*Jani suffers the dampened impact from some of those punches as she digs deeper* (Now THIS is the rush I've been looking for! Life or death, do or die, it's like psycho kitty all over again!)
*Jani decides to wait it out a bit over a meter underground until she stops feeling the vibrations, upon which she starts causing more of those mini sand-geysers in random spots around Lars, a relatively low energy effort with the aim of psyching Lars out*

Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus.In his current hyper state, all these miniature sand-geysers are not at all good for Lars' concentration. While he could detect subtle movements right now, they were quickly getting drowned out by each other, overlapping. Soon he even started swatting at the air, as though attacking sand particles coming his way. He twitched and snapped towards each one; clearly one of them has to be where she's going to attack...
"Grrnnngghhh... arcsdamn SAND! Enough! Enough with the SAND!!" he yelled as he began to jump over to each sand geyser; at first attempting to stomp them, but soon he found himself crawling on all fours, trying to rapidly hammer into the ground... but with each new sand geyser, he moved.

Purrloin Jani by shrubBird
*at some random time in the midst of all the geysers, Jani decides to go for one more Dig
attack, this time opting not to shout it out for the sake of surprise*
*incidentally, she's now vulnerable to Roar, if it just so happens to...happen*
I need to sleep. Seriously. Night!

Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus.Finley has been quiet.
She's fallen asleep, holding Mila like a teddy bear and snoring softly.
Long live the New Bev.I exit the hospital and head for the woods I visited earlier. Upon arrival, I see that the branch I broke off remained where I left it. I lie down, leaning my head against the broken branch, and eventually fall asleep.
If I don't clash, I don't change. The world ends at my borders, and the best moments slip away.Being so absorbed in his now almost-animalistic chasing of sand-geysers, the pain-numbing effects of the R-Soda stopped him from realising that his punches were forcibly slowing down; not from lack of willpower, but from injury. This ultimately provided Jani with the opening she needed, as he was hunched down over her point of attack.
The underground headbutt hit him square in the neck. He practically shot upwards, and all of a sudden everything came back to him. He almost had a vision; a hallucination. He could feel that Bisharp standing on his windpipe again, crushing it with her steel heel... all that pain closed in right there and hit him hard. And he didn't scream; instead, he found himself choking and hacking as his windpipe closed up from internal swelling, and he stumbled around, dazed.
"Heggghghghghh... s-sorry... old man..." he managed to spit out before his eyes rolled to the back of his head and he fell down, unconscious, landing in the sand with an indignified *thump*.
Meanwhile, Hotoke peeked out from inside her damaged hut. "Aww, fiddlesticks! He didn't even pay me for that drink..."

Those sell-by-dates won't stop me because I can't read![Sliding down the wall, I plop on the ground, looking up at the girls. They both seem to be sleeping soundly...I kinda don't wanna move, just in case I wake them up by accident, but I don't want to sleep on the floor either...]
[Peering over the bed, I notice the tip top of a chair in the corner. Slowly getting up, I try and sneak my way across, only allowing my feet to make the tiniest of patters across the floor. Getting closer, I realize the chair is really a small couch, one with a lacquered wooden circular back with a minimal net of fabric to rest your back against. Gingerly moving myself onto it—a small creak stopping me momentarily before I continue in—I lay down along the thin silky cushion, moving myself around a bit until I feel comfortable. Finally, pulling my bag off, I move it over towards the end of the cushion and rest my head down on it as a makeshift pillow. I yawn and stretch for a bit, looking at the girls for a bit to see if they're stirring, and then I close my eyes, and before I know it, I can feel myself slowly being lost to the murky depths of unconsciousness...]
Mila can sense that Finley's resting now, but she doesn't move from where she's sitting. She feels comfortable just lying there, her arms splayed across Finley. She can feel the warmth under her fur... the warmth she was worried might not even be there. The warmth she remembered feeling drain away hours before. But she was done crying for tonight, everything was okay for now. Maybe things wouldn't be okay later, but that didn't matter. Things were okay now. They were both alive now.
Mila remains still, trying to get what rest she can. There will be no sleep for her tonight, but there will be rest and calm.
I need to update these things more often"Okay..." Dana narrows her eyes and focuses. Inner animal, huh? That was kind of ironic given her current situation but.. There had to be something in there somewhere... Come on...
The sound that comes out of Dana's mouth when she opens her mouth again is hard to describe. It's loud and high pitched, yes. Guttural, too. But it probably couldn't be described as a roar..
we will survive.
Purrloin Jani by shrubBird
*before the VA can compel Jani to do the unthinkable to Lars, the ironically adorable Roar
unsettles Jani to the point she has to flee. However, her instinctive fear of water sends her back in the direction of Lars, upon which she just freezes there for a bit*
(I'm already there and sleeping like a log when Marlon gets there. I won't be awake for hours.)
(I'm dreaming that I'm swimming (but more like flying) through the ocean with everyone else in the group, plus Belle and her family. I notice that Finley has that nasty gash on her chest as she swims beside me.)
(As we swim, I notice everyone gradually falling behind me until they vanish from sight. Am I swimming that fast? The ocean itself begins disappearing, being replaced by the sky, and I realize that I'm transforming into something bigger with wings. Once I stop changing shape, I look at myself again and see that I have become Lugia, now flying through the sky with the ocean far below me. An excited smile comes across my face as I fly into the setting sun ahead of me.)
(In real life, I'm flapping my arms with a small smile on my face as I sleep in bed at the inn.)

Purrloin Jani by shrubBird
*overwhelmed by the night's events, and my having written myself into a corner, Jani falls asleep on the spot from exhaustion*
While unconventional, it appears your Roar worked. *Voxno-V praises Dana*
*Voxno is somewhat relieved that two of the three infected are sleeping somewhere unpopulated, but is concerned about Lars, so it leaves the cart w/ remedies by Jani, then (with some struggling) telekinetically lifts the Hakamo-o and slowly tows him to the hospital, intending to do an anonymous drop-off in spite of its conspicuous pink glow*
*afterwards (regardless of whether or not Lars wakes up or w/e), Voxno returns to the beach or searches for PJ or something...I dunno where the quantum Ribombee is*

I'm in the woods nearest my family home, but is raining....and I hear something nearby. I turn to imvestigate, when all of a sudden, the cat from earlier has appeared, taking a strange human form. He has purple hair, stands a fair bit taller than I am, and is holding one of his hands behind his back.)
I found you, you son of a bitch! You will pay for reading my mind!
(OH FUCK!)
(I start turning back towards the house and begin running away, but yet it seems to get further and further away....but why? Despite my best attempts to get away from him, he pins me down, and pulls out his hand, which has three knives on it shaped like the claws that slashed Finley. He is ready to slice my throat when I wake up with a start.)
Shit! Oh god, I'm okay. Still a Gallade, but I'm okay...

Purrloin Jani by shrubBird
*in the middle of the night, when even the slums are quiet, Voxno-V heads back to the hospital briefly and leaves a note for the receptionist there to hand to Gloria. it simply reads*
Please pass this message on to Mila and Finley: Your friends are at the run down beach west of the slums. - V *not signing its full name intentionally*
*then heads back to the sleeping crazymons and resumes its vigil*

What's up, Marlon? (I ask, not realizing what he was saying to me.) Man, I was just having awesome dream where I was Lugia, and...
(I see the look on Marlon's face. That is the face of someone who just woke up from a horrible dream.)
Oh... (I say, my goofy smile disappearing as I realize what's going on.) I-I'm sorry...I didn't realize...do you want to talk about it?
(At the hospital, the note Voxno left is found by Dr. Star, who is working the late shift at the hospital.)
Hmm, for the Raichu and Braixen we brought in?
(The content of the message confuses him, but nevertheless he very quietly goes into Finley's room, leaves the note on the table beside Finley's bed, carefully walks out, and closes the door, taking care not to wake them up.)

Lars felt Jani's hit rebound against his own shield, and, starting to get twitchy and hyper from the rapid consumption of R-Soda, he very quickly rattles off some more Bullet Punches at the ground beneath his feet.
"HAKAMAKAMAKAMAKAMA... hahahagghhhhh... hooh, boy, how ironic was th-th-that?! Destroying th-the EARTH ITSELF... by PUNCHING IT!! Th-th-that's one for the... f-freakin'... jokebooks!!" he yelled out to Jani. It was clear from the tone of his voice that he was getting quite excitable.
