Side effects include loss of reality, odd sexual behavior, and general lack of judgement?

La la laaaaa~

Don't worry, family, I'll drive this flu off with good old fashioned cooking~

[Brock has been busy, busy, busy, off in his own little world, seemingly.  Somehow unfazed by any suffering his family is going through, he treats them as if they're sick with no more than a common cold. He's cooked up the most delicious chicken soup you'll

I'm not leaving my room.

[rock_breeder]

H-hey, come on, now, Pachi-chan...

At least try some soup for good ol' Brock-o...

[Brock is standing outside your door with delicious soup. What do you do?]

[wizardoftheweek]

Please don't call me that...

-Well, the soup does smell good... but she'd really rather stay locked away from craziness.-

[rock_breeder]

[Brock sighs, looking at the family photos adorning the walls of the hallways. He knows they're all fake, and yet...at least, in said photos, Patchouli looked like she was having fun. The girl needed exposure! It wasn't like it would kill her to leave her room for once.]

...

[It's no good. He can't bring himself to force her out. Instead he sets the soup down in front of the door. ]

...All right. I'm leaving you soup in front of your door, if you don't eat it quickly, it's gonna get all cold and nasty.

...Pachi-chan. Don't spend all your time locked up in your room, all right? If nothing else, spend a bit of time with the rest of us in the house...I don't even think I've talked to you face to face yet.

-The sound of the latch being pulled is heard. Slowly, the door opens and... well, Patchy doesn't look to be in good shape as she takes the soup. She almost looks like she's been crying, but it's difficult to tell.-

I really need more icons for sadness and compassion...

[rock_breeder]

...Hey...hey, are you all right? I might not be your real father, but...you can let me know if there's anything wrong, ok?

We're all in this mess of a town together. This is the least I can do for you...

when in doubt, use fanart

-She looks at him for the briefest of moments before casting her eyes downward. She then quickly took the soup and shot the door behind her. It was a nice try, at least, Brock. This is going to be a slow battle to win.-

[rock_breeder]

...a small step forward, maybe?

Oh man, she's so cute! It's a shame that she's wasting away in there like that. That's it, Brock-o! You're going to resolve to ger her out into the world, or die trying, dammit! This is the resolve of a hardened man!

ffffff "hardened" man. Why did I laugh so hard

[wizardoftheweek]

-There was a faint 'thank you' called from behind the door. She did appreciate the man, at least... He was kind to her after all. He didn't need to be. That much meant something...-
