Log:

[It's been a long, long, day. Or rather, it certainly feels that way, despite the fact that he's just woken up on a bed. Rude struggles to try and remember; what had he been doing before he slept? There was a, a mansion somewhere with an ominous fountain, and there were monsters coming after him, he had been sure of that. Had he dealt with them? He looks down at his fist to confirm that yes, he was not wearing his normal battle gloves. Yet why did he recall using Materia to fire away at some giant black horned thing?

Was it for, for...

With a start he just about jumps out of bed towards his backpack...

...only to fall down flat on his face as the stiffness from having slept a week cramps his movement. He falls down hard enough to shake his backpack a little, and a ball rolls out to land on the ground.

Great. Now he has to deal with dog slobber (again?). There's a bit of commotion coming from his room as Rude tries his best to get his Houndoom to heel as the Dog Pokemon insist on showering him with love and kisses.]

[D.N.'s tail just wags even harder and he barks happy barks at Tifa. What a nice lady for him to return to!

As for Rude, he just about chokes on a glass of water that a Nurse Joy had kindly left for him. Spluttering a bit he grabs a tissue to wipe off the water, taking great care not to look at Tifa because is Tifa calling him a cutie, or the dog?? He'd rather not risk her catching what a curious shade of pink his face is at the moment.]

I, uh, got it. I think that's why I went here, to heal up after the battle.

[Awkward cough.]

[Tifa's going to spoil him rotten. But well, she did the same thing to everyone's pokémon back then. She chuckles a bit at D.N.'s barks.

At Rude's answer, Tifa looks up, still smiling.]

Congratulations! I'm glad you made it here before collapsing.

[strongestoftheturks]

Thanks.

[He'll just finish that glass of water and set it back down on the table, hoping that that'll buy his face some time to cool down from the blush. Busying himself over his backpack is a great excuse to not look at Tifa too.]

I...hope you didn't have to wait long.

[Good, his two other missing Pokemon are with him. That's an extreme relief for Rude.

[premiumheaven]

Oh no, not too long. I managed to get a job while you were out of it, though.

[Tifa's still looking at Rude. After a moment she frowns.]

Are you feeling alright? You look kinda flushed. Do you have a fever or something? [Concerned Tifa is concerned.]

[strongestoftheturks]

That's...that's good.

[That temporary silence does not bode well for him, does it?]

N-no. I'm just...maybe a little, hot, I think.

[Flustered Rude is flustered.]

It'll go away.

...Maybe I just need, umm... [Quick look around, look around!! Ah, got it!] ...air. I'll just, open the window.

[Brb telling his heart to stop thumping at a few hundred miles an hour as he cracks that window open.

[premiumheaven]

Mmm...if you're sure. You should probably take it easy though, I'm sure whatever you went off to do was exciting enough.

[With one last little pat, Tifa stands back up.]

But you're right. Maybe some air will help cool you off.

[strongestoftheturks]

Y-yeah...

[At least it was a beautiful day outside; Rude takes a moment to warm his skin up with some sun while trying to sort out his jumbled thoughts and memories. Everything that had happened in his dream...how much of it had been real and how much of it had been mashed with fantasy? Blurred faces and a strong dark presence is what he strongly recalled, but there were other events that had happened in the mansion.

After a few more seconds of trying to sieve through his recollections, he gives up and turns away from the window; he might never truly remember everything that had gone down, but he'd made some new acquaintances and picked up a few names. Most importantly, whatever he had experienced was over.

It's as he heads over to his backpack that he sees a hint of orange peeking out from behind. Curious, he moves his backpack to discover a Halloween goodie bag that definitely had not been there before.]
