Rating: PG at most
Log:
Souji hasn't been feeling all that well. From the lack of sleep he has been getting ever since opening up the breeding centre combined with yesterday's attack, he isn't exactly in the best of shape; both physically and mentally.

Physically, it's easy to tell by just looking at him; a few cuts upon his arms and legs, a small bandaid over his left cheek, and bruises on his knees. Thankfully, his pants and light coat have covered most of those. He can't really do much about his cheek nor the light bags under his eyes, but he doesn't think he looks too bad. Probably just looks like someone who has had just a long night, which is exactly what he has had, just multiply it with two weeks.

Mentally, Souji has been feeling the stress that is placed on him. Running his own business is not an easy task nor paying the bills that come with owning a centre. Not to mention his workplace and home is half-destroyed, he knows for sure that fixing it will not be cheap.

However, he's not just going to sit down. He has work to do around and he feels surprisingly better than he has thought, being able to move around and pull his own share of work. However, he's glad that he has a few hands to help him with it. Even he has to admit that if he has had to work alone, he might have broken down sooner or later. Just doing the same tedious task of climbing up and down a ladder to fetch more nails for about an hour is already boring enough-- tiring too, actually.

He has thought he might have to do this for a whole day and he knows for sure that will drive him off the edge, but when his Pokegear beeped with a new text message from Daisuke, the next thing Souji has known is that he's standing inside an elevator at the Goldenrod's Hotel.

According to the text message, Daisuke is out sick for the day and probably for the next while. Souji doesn't blame him, especially from the mess on Sunday and he thinks that everyone deserves a rest right now. Well, everyone but himself. Those papers and temporary walls aren't going to fix themselves, after all!

Once the elevator stops at the third floor, Souji steps out and looks down both ends of the hallway before heading down in one direction. He slowly walks past each door, staring at the room plates for the numbers 314 to appear. It isn't long till he finds the room and shuffling the plastic bag in one hand-- which is filled with both the painkillers and cold medicine Daisuke has asked for, but also some microwave soup that Souji has thought the sick boy will like --then rasps his knuckles against the wooden door, knocking three times.

Thanks...

[He coughs some more and remains sitting up on his bed to get that digestive system and medicine flowing.]

[ In a few minutes just like Souji has said, he returns back to the bedside with a tray that the hotel has supplied with. Upon it is is some chicken soup and oatmeal, both nice and warm. ]

[ He sits down on the edge of the bed and places the tray upon Daisuke's lap. ] Careful, it's pretty hot.

If I stir it, it'll cool down, right? [He asks, eying the soup and oatmeal. To be honest, his stomach would probably be very full after this.] I don't think I can eat all this though...

[ He nods to his question then looks down at the food. ] It's alright. Just eat as much as you can and leave behind what you can't.

I'd feel bad for not eating all of it though...

[He stirs the food and checks the temperature every now and then.]

I'll put a cover over the leftover soup and put it into the fridge for next time. Focus on eating the oatmeal mostly.

Alright.

[Then he starts eating the oatmeal. He doesn't really taste anything in particular because lol sick, but he likes the warmth. It feels nice. After swallowing...]

Thanks, Souji.

[ A smile. ]

Hopefully, you'll feel better soon.

Yeah... I'm not doing anything if I'm just sitting around, being sick.

Don't push yourself, though. You'll feel worse.

But sometimes you just have to for the sake of things being done.

[Does this remind you of anything, Souji...]

[ Souji hesitates... He swallows and gives a small nod. ]

Sometimes, but the centre already has a lot of people helping, so it's fine. [ SO REST or he'll shank you ]

If I wasn't this sick, I wouldn't have been sleeping. It probably would have bothered me all day... [He sighs.]

But if the Center has a lot of people, then I guess... it's okay.

You did more than enough last night, helping to take out the fire and two Gyarados. That's more than enough.

[Daisuke does seem a little more at peace.]

Did they calm down yet though...?

[ He shakes his head. ]

They're still enraged for some reason. All my water Pokemon seem to be like that.

Did you leave it in the PC? So you don't get him out accidentally...

Yeah, all of them. I don't know when they'll be fine to let out again though.

Well... I'm sure somebody on the network will find out when they'll stop.

Probably.

It seems similar to that bug invasion a while back.

Ah... Right. That bug thing.

[He thinks back on it, and to be honest, all he can remember is that his Feraligatr had a kick out of chewing on those things alive and his Heracross sending them across the sky.]

Didn't some guy make an announcement to the network that he's the one responsible for it?

Who? [Guess who's so attentive to these things...]

Didn't catch his name, but apparently someone that has kidnapped people before.

[ Souji has been around for Minnie's kidnapping and has heard wind of it... ]

--Kidnapped? [Well, this is news to him... even though he's been around Team Rocket stuff, they didn't think they would resort to kidnapping anybody. That's way bad!] Was he a part of Team Rocket?
