04 [video/action for Saffron]

[titanite]

[ Taejin the Gastly has apparently stolen Fang's 'gear again and is now filming her walking outside of Saffron. Fang isn't aware of this, but Fang doesn't seem to be aware of much right now - her eyes are cast down, alternating between the Shelgon at her side and her own feet, as she staggers slightly with the next step. The video picks up in the

Fang?

[titanite]

[ At this point she's sitting on the side of the road, her coat draped over her like she can't decide if she wants to wear it or not. But she smiles at him. ]

Hey Roxas. Sorry about that - guess I haven't trained it outta him yet.

They like the pokegear, so they tend to steal it a lot.

Sparky's a bit of a ham to.

[titanite]

Wouldn't mind him playin' around with it so much if it didn't go to everyone else that's got a 'gear. Guess that's the appeal.

Yeah? Another show-off?

[So, now who's playing babysitter? Yep. Lightning's on the move, ignoring that Gastly as she seeks Fang out. Honestly...if it's not one person it's another.]

You sure you're talking to him?

[titanite]

[ Look, at least this is simply a one-time, 24-hour event. That Fang is already starting to regret.

It takes her a second to understand what Lightning is referencing, but the shake of her head is lost as she starts shivering. ]

I'm tired, not unconscious. Just need a second.

[soggypastry]

[Doesn't change the fact that Light's still concerned and out looking. Nope. Doesn't change it at all.]

You're also stumbling and shivering. How long have you been sick, Fang?

[titanite]

[ Oh sure, call her on it directly. It's stupid to argue, so she won't. ]

...Started a bit earlier today. Thought it was just the start of a cold until now. Came on fast.

You do not look well.

[And for him to say that about a human is saying something.]

[titanite]

[ Her smile is a faint imitation of her usual one, but it's there. Her jacket is currently draped over her shoulders, as she can't quite decide if she's way too hot or way too cold. ]

Thanks for the heads-up. If I look as bad as I feel it can't be a pretty sight. Think I could sneak into the Pokecenter when I make it to town?

[show_my_cannons]

No. Not even human, and I can see that.

[He shrugs a shoulder.]

You have to sneak into one?

[titanite]

Great. There goes the sneaking plan then.

If I want to avoid my friends makin' a fuss, then yeah.

... Fang?

[ She doesn't look so good. Xion's face is propped against a pillow, watching the feed warily. ]

[titanite]

[ ...Whoops. Fang's sitting by the side of the route when she answers, but after double-checking that Xion is indeed still in her bed, she unsteadily climbs to her feet. The very last thing she wants is for Xion to try to come get her. ]

I'm fine, Sunshine. Nothing to worry about.

[ Stubbornness and lies. ]

[ordalias]

Are you sure? You don't look so good.

[ And sure enough, the feed is shifting along with Xion as the girl starts to sit up. ]

[titanite]

[ Wonderful. Fang steadies herself against a tree, trying to think fast and completely failing to do so. She should start moving so Xion doesn't get up, but she's not entirely sure she can walk in a convincing "I am perfectly healthy" sort of way. Answer: Stall! ]

Yeah, I'll probably be keepin' ya company tonight, but I can get there just fine.

Uh- hey, baby. Uh, huh huh huh.

[titanite]

[ A high fever and pounding headache are not helping her right now. ]

What is it?

[youfartknocker]

Uh- hey. Uh, huh huh huh.

[titanite]

[ He is not helping either. ]

...Do I know you?
