Log:

Bro

[Mom's suspicions that something's wrong in paradise started when Val texted her while drunk. After that, she's been keeping an eye on Val, and only grows more worried. And there's definitely something wrong. She's constantly inebriated, yes, but that makes her neither blind nor stupid.

She's patient, though. As patient as she is with a skittish kitten. If there's one thing she's learned, it's that people tend to talk only when they're ready to face it themselves.

However, after a while, she sees that it mostly has to do with a certain Strider. Curiouser and curiouser. Mom keeps something of an eye on Bro, too, to be cautious. She loves her friends dearly and she wants to help them put things right. The snag is that she has no idea what's even going on with those two, and as such she can't help them.

Mom sighs, a little frustrated. The knowledge of her death and Val's ignorance of it is also weighing heavily in her mind, but it's as if the Pokemon version of Fate keeps preventing her from actually sitting down to talk to the woman about it! There's no way she can bring it up now, not with this emotional tension.

Still. There's one person she can go to for advice on the subject, and she's going to find him right now, two bottles of good beer in hand.]


Valeria

[After her conversation with Bro, Mom is out on the hunt for Val. She'll find her no matter how long it takes.]

[ Valeria freezes from her place beneath the sheets. She knows who it is. Really, she'd recognize Roxanne's voice anywhere by now. She would also recognize a bit of a shift from the norm in the woman's tone, but she's not entirely up to snuff at the moment. What she is is torn, torn between answering and curling further into her sheets, her grip on the smuppet tightening. She doesn't want her friend to see her like this. Gods, she doesn't want anyone to see her like this, but Roxy...

Roxy isn't just anyone. ]


I'm here.

[ And her voice is entirely too hoarse. She sounds awful and there's not much she can do to curb it. Crying does that. Crying when you haven't cried in more than a year does that. ]

Guy's getting the door. [ And it clicks a moment later. Somehow, that little Riolu unlocked it. The opening part is up to Mom, though. ]

[ If there's anything Valeria will come out from under those sheets for, it's a hug and she does, did exactly that. Maybe she should say something, maybe she should try to explain, but she just doesn't have it in her right then. No, she'll be wrapping her arms around Roxanne and just... hugging her back tight. ]
