6th Piece // Goldenrod City // Audio/Action

[kingofgamecorner]

[A fizzle of noise, and then the screams of some likely horrific manner from his company in the room. Yuugi didn't bother turning on the screen, because his faces wouldn't help anything, and a distressed pokémon would likely cut in in seconds.

So there's just one frazzled Yuugi talking.]

Hello? Is- I should just go to a doctor, but. Is.

[What can he ask? This, can't be normal, and he doesn't expect much. But, he can't just keep trying to find answers on his own! Nothing's waking Bakura up, and sitting here by him or keeping his pokémon off isn't helping.

And neither does his growing question of, whether this proceeds, a Johto exit.

When a horrid screech comes from his company - likely heard all the way on the street, at that, drawing attention to the house - he jolts back.]

Does anyone know- Are comas common here?

[[ooc: quick warning- responses may be slow over the week, but the difference might be covered by Fran, with Bakura's distressed ghost-types! Lucky, eh?]]

[papas_bunnydoll]

Tot's sorry about your friend, but it seems to happen all the time here.

[audio]

[kingofgamecorner]

It does?

[Forgive the pause to stare at his friend again.]

...does that mean you know what might happen?

[audio]

[papas_bunnydoll]

No one can tell Tot why, but yes. Eventually they wake up; sometimes with new memories of things from home. And sometimes not.

[audio]

[kingofgamecorner]

...I, was afraid it was something about going home.

[Except there's an expectation of returning. And, it's not specific to Bakura, so...]

So- If they go home for a while... what if something bad happens to them there, in the mean time?

[audio]

[impulsives]

Not really, but it does happens sometimes.

[audio]

[kingofgamecorner]

-so it is something from being here?

Have you seen someone go through it before?

[audio]

[impulsives]

...Yeah, it always lasted a week, and when they woke up, most of the time, they said that they went back for a while.

[audio]

[kingofgamecorner]

-oh! So, when this happens, they come out of it? With no, injuries or anything?

[The 'what he'll remember' is a concern, but just the idea Bakura should be okay has him trying to reassure the unseen ghost-type on his end.]

Do you hear that? He'll wake up.

[audio]

[best_laid_plans]

[Yuugi? Malik's hard at work pedaling back to Goldenrod, but he pulls out the Gear anyway. Anything worth doing is worth doing while driving.]

Comas? Don't tell me.....Bakura?

[But his arm was healed and nothing should affect him anymore! Ah, well. He is the destined host for the Spirit of the Ring. Vulnerability comes with the deal.]

[audio]

[shiromadoushi]

[[Hear that scream in the background, Malik? That would be Amane, giving you your yes. And boy does she sound mad.]]

[audio]

[kingofgamecorner]

[-housemate!

As in he's grappling with the 'gear to talk. And then the screams.]

YES!! I mean, yes. He's been asleep for a day, and he won't get up- And-

Amane!

[Action]

[shiromadoushi]

[[and the moment Yuugi's distracted, Amane is yanking on Bakura's hair, hauling him up in the air slightly with a loud screech of 'NOT AGAIN.']]

[Action]

[kingofgamecorner]

-stop that! You're going to hurt him!!!

[Silly Yuugi, he has his own help- Ghosts even. And he's reaching for Amane himself.]

[Action]

[shiromadoushi]

[[Very silly, since Amane's reaction is going to be to lash out at him. She didn't deal well with this when Bakura's soul was taken, and she's taking it even worse now. She's worried, upset, angry, and doesn't know what to blame and beat up for this, so her poor unconscious trainer is getting the brunt of it. Maybe if she shakes and yells at him enough, he'll come back to her.

Doesn't seem like Amane has much better coping skills than her trainer does...]]

[Action]

[kingofgamecorner]

[Guh- well. He'd rather have him focusing on him, than Bakura... At least he can defend himself. And has a chance right now of reaching Amane.]

I know you're scared- But pushing him like that might just hurt him-

We need to think of something else-

[-is he getting anything through?]

[video]

[darkenedgales]

Yeah, I'd say they're pretty damn common. Fine one moment, out like a light the other.

[He shrugs it off with a smile.]

Don't worry too much, though. They'll be up in a week or so.

[audio]

[kingofgamecorner]

-so this is another temporary thing? Like the stuff over Valentine's?

[Oh, the sudden hope.]

[video]

[darkenedgales]

Sorta! Except it doesn't affect multiple people all at once. 'S an individual thing.

[A bright smile.]

When they wake up, they're gonna remember more from home than they did before, so I say it's handy! ... In a way. You might wanna stick around 'em for now, but they'll be fine.

[audio]

[kingofgamecorner]

Oh, that's great!!

I, worry a little, on how far he'll go and what he'll remember... But it might be for the best.

But- Do I need to worry about him, while he's like this? Does he not need water, or, anything?

[Video]

[youngforhisage]

Somewhat. They are common enough that we can more or less predict the length and effects.

That is to say, it should only last for about a week, and during that time the one under should experience some time in their own world, starting from the moment they left.

[Audio]

[kingofgamecorner]

...that, so- He's in a coma, because he's "catching up" on reality back home?

[That follows for him, since Yuugi knows he's from farther along in time than Bakura. But still, knowing what happens to him keeps the concern in his voice.]

But, what if something bad happens to him, back in our world?

[Audio]

[youngforhisage]

Basically, yes.

[Although the second part causes him to frown very slightly.]

...If something bad happens, when he returns he ought to remember it. Unless you meant an injury...?

[Action]

[silver_lucifer]

[That - he's heard a screech like that before; the Dragonite carrying the bags and such from the shopping trip he'd been on perks up, antennae swiveling in the direction of the noise. There's some kind of unspoken exchange with the Kirlia perched on Ariel's back, then the dragon is heading that direction, galloping off with Kuja trailing behind.]

[There weren't that many Misdreavius around, and whatever this one was on about, it wouldn't have gotten the pokémon's attention if it were just a prank; he wasn't usually given to getting involved without knowing what was going on, but it looked like he wasn't really getting a say in the matter.]

[Action]

[shiromadoushi]

[[There is a repeated screech of 'Wake up you stupid idiot, wake up, wake up, I'm talking to you, wake UP!' as Amane is continuing to ignore Yuugi's attempts to calm her down and is attempting to throttle her trainer by the hair.]]

[Action]

[silver_lucifer]

[While Kuja and Ariel the Dragonite might be stuck outside, Titania has no such trouble - and there's a Kirlia teleporting into the room to see what's going on, keeping one of her rare stints of actually abusing being a psychic to let Kuja know what's happening.]

[This does mean that Kuja's now outside pacing and more agitated - Bakura's one of the few people he gets along with.]

[Titania's reaching up to tug a little at Amane.]

What happened?
