dreamsofahero | [Route 29] Video/Action - Pewter City ((backdated to the 2nd))

*the video cuts in to a certain silver-haired king, seated in what some may recognize as the grassy meadow in the southeast part of Pewter City. He looks rather thoughtful, apparently oblivious to the Swablu perched on his head between the horns that still linger from the outbreak a month ago*

In another week, I'll have been in this world for seven months already. While I realize that there are some who have been here much longer, I can't help thinking it's quite a long time. Were it not for the reassurances that time in our own worlds does not pass while we're here, I'd be quite concerned indeed for what state the kingdom would be in by now.

*a pause, then he continues*

Admittedly, though, this world does have its diversions. However now I wonder, does anyone know whether, after a gym leader has been defeated once, will the accept a challenge from the same person again? It would certainly be interesting to test out various new combinations and strategies, after all...

*of course, should this talk of challenging gym leaders make one curious enough to look, you might notice an open case containing a newly completed set of all sixteen badges sitting in his lap before the feed ends :)*

Oh? But you just said...

*well he's already got one leg under him...*

We are staying in Pewter and resting, for crying all night!

[still not pouncing yet, but if you keep moving, sir...]

Ah, you needn't worry about me, I'll have a chance to rest while you challenge the gym, after all.

*getting to his feet...*

Who the hell said anything about me doing that??

[aaaaaaaand pounce!]

Well, you did agree that Rose--

*--and whatever he was about to say turns into an undignified squawk as he is tackled, though he makes a valiant effort to fight back!!*

[Valiant or not, you're still on your back now.]

I can deal with Rose! We've been on the road nonstop for a month! A month!!

*awww no fair :( Whisper is also protesting this as it means she's been thrown from her favorite spot, but*

You've traveled for longer before, haven't you?

[Sorry Whisper, you can go back later.]

Whether I have or not isn't the point!

Then what is your point?

*said in a tone like he's just humoring you....*

Rest.

Haven't you rested enough for a lifetime all ready?

You know there's no such thing.

Besides, I need to make sure you're getting enough, too.

I'm fine, Ryner.

Just because you've been slowly getting a little bit better about it doesn't mean you're out of the woods yet, Sion.

And just what is that supposed to mean?

You still don't rest enough.

*attempting to shove you off :|*

By your standards, there's no such thing as "enough".

That doesn't give you any excuse to get as little as you can get away with.

*why won't you get OFF :|*

I've been getting plenty.

*...Dusk and Whisper may have something to do with enforcing this*

[Fine if you're gonna be that pushy...]

And if I don't keep reminding you, you'll go back to your old habits faster than you can blink.

Why is it such a big deal, anyway?

*FINALLY moving to get up and--ow that was definitely a small wince there just now*

It's for the sake of your health.

Speaking of, you okay? [because yes he did notice that]

...I'm fine.

*is still grimacing a bit though as he carefully stretches his back; apparently all the struggling while being pinned like that plus those ridges meant some very awkward strain in places...*

You're sure about that?

[conceeeeeeerrrn...]

Yes. There's nothing that can be done, anyway.

*...is definitely using the tone of "we are done talking about this now :|" here*
