Picarats 005 [VIDEO/ACTION IN ROUTE 30/31]
[It's finally day time and the fog has finally disappeared. And like a lot of the other people here sending in relief messages all over the network, Professor Hershel Layton is doing the same.
The camera shakes for a few seconds and there's a horrible muffling sound as the Professor is positioning his gear once again. He really made it a habit to not holding the device, but to always set it on some higher ground. It was so much easier that way.
The Professor took a seat on an old, rotting log. He had no extra energy to be standing, much less being awake and recording a video to the whole network. Well, if he was going to be awake, this was better than moping around.
He also placed on a tired smile as he looked into the camera. Always gotta keep in a good mood when recording yourself for everyone, though it didn't seem like his low energy matched for what he was trying to show.
The Professor cleaned himself up an hour ago. He got out of those ripped up clothes he wore for the last two nights and got dressed in the outfit he wore while entering this world. He also washed his face, combed his hair, and plastered at least five bandages across his fingers for each hand. All that digging, scrapping, and tearing at the logs, branches, and ground he did for nearly half an hour the first night really took its toll on him. He hasn't slept a wink since Saturday and everything around him ached. This wasn't his first time going on for about a day without rest as he always got so focused into his fossils and ancient vases, but this was the first he ever stayed up in fear and anxiety. Always in fear if something else bad might happen to himself or Luke, and he wasn't able to stop it. His eyes were puffy from the lack of sleep and his throat was horse from all that yelling.
But as the morning's rays shined through the trees and the fog slowly disappeared, so did all of that negative emotions he had pent up. Heck, he even got up and managed to capture a new Pokemon sometime last night or this early morning. He couldn't really tell anymore. Being up for about 48 hours tends to do that to a person. Make the senses dull and weaken. But he didn't feel like going back to sleep until a few hours, just to reassure himself that everything is back to normal and another nightmare wave came back to throw them onto their backs. However. it does look like he'll fall asleep any minute now, with those droopy eyes of his. ]
I hope that everyone out there isn't hurt from the chaos over the weekend. The fog is retreating and so is the Pokemon I assume that were the cause of all this. We can't rest easy just yet though. A few of those creatures are still lingering around. I have actually captured one of them some time ago.
[And right on cue, a single Duskull suddenly pops out from...inside the Professor's top hat? Well, it is a ghost type after all. Hi there! Here's the newest Pokemon to Hershel's team! Uh, you can kinda ignore it as it just flies around the Professor's hat and occasionally stare into your soul with its single red eye though your screen. Why did Professor catch this one out of all the others? Uh, well, long story short, when something suddenly attacks you from the behind while you're having nightmares, you beat the shit out of it and then shove it into your little Pokeball to prevent anything else from happening. Well, that's that in a nutshell.]
Ah, and I...apologize for my behavior for the last few nights if anyone saw over the network. Like many of the others, I was...not in the right mindset. I would like to forget all about it, just like everyone else. I would prefer if you did not ask about it.
[Especially about whose name he was screaming out for all of Route 30 to hear.]
Is everyone else out there doing better? I don't know if the fog is disappearing in other areas, but I hope so. The sooner this madness ends, the better. I have a few puzzles at the moment, if anyone would like them to keep their minds of the nightmares.
I will also greatly appreciate it if anyone would happen to know if the market in Violet City sells more medical supplies for humans, rather than Pokemon. I am afraid they did not have a large selection in Cherrygrove.
(( OOC: Guess who pulled an all-nighter and beat Unwound Future? And guess who had tears in her eyes and was going "oh my God" during the whole ending? And guess who screamed "THIS IS WORTH EVERY PENNY" and felt like sobbing yet laughing at the same time in a closet? ;A; ;LASJDF;ASFTHISGAME Tags will be slow as I attempt to not fall asleep on my laptop zzzzzz )
