[ Forward-Dated to the evening of September 15, Thursday, nearing twilight ]

[ The video turns on, and Miles looks concerned. It's just about nearing sunset in Goldenrod right now, the streetlights and store signs flickering to life, and the sky a deep red-orange overhead. He's alone. There is no sign of Ken Amada, but there is no comment on that. He just looks concerned. ]

Has anybody seen a Mareep wandering around Goldenrod? An acquaintance of mine recently departed from Johto and left me it's Pokémon Ball with Nurse Joy, but it was empty.

[ He's walking as he speaks, but he doesn't seem to notice the yellowish blob of something fluffy approaching him from behind. The camera catches the Mareep in question (and it's a very mean-looking Mareep, mind you) sneaking up to his new trainer, but Miles is not even looking at the screen. ]

... If you see him, please tell me and don't go near him. I don't think it's sa--

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee--

[ The video ends here. ]



[ Twenty minutes later. ]

[ It takes a while for the noise to fade from the screen. When the feed clears up, Miles is sitting up on a bed in the Pokémon Center with an Espeon (an Espeon! The Eevee had evolved just a few minutes ago!) on his lap. His hair is singed and there are bandages--definitely not a pretty sight. He sounds very, very tired as he speaks again. ]
  
... I found him.

[ ooc: it is late in the evening, tags might take awhile ;; ]

[Clover is not leaving the Center until you do, Miles. She's sitting on a chair close by, and her Roselia is currently occupying a little stool. And Auste will assume that the poor girl also got shocked trying to sort things out by herself before deciding that one eighteen-year-old is still not enough to deal with a crazy Mareep.

Also, Clover is going to bury all that worry under so much scolding and grumbling and this frowny face. But she'll give in to the worry later.]

...

I told you I was gonna come with you. But did you listen? Nooooooo. And now look what happened.

[An exasperated sigh. She leans back. The Roselia is a far more accurate epitome of worry.]

[miniworth]

[ He rolls over, slowly, to face her. His face is a lot of tired and grumps. ]

Mm, if we both got hurt like this, it'll be hard to take them on walks. [ The Espeon harrumphs at Clover. ]

[Hey, so Shelly figured he'd pay Miles a visit...

... And he's there now.

Standing there. Awkwardly.

... There's a strong possibility he has lost the hang of the mysterious art known as "talking to someone you like face-to-face".]

[miniworth]

[ He's a mess. His hands are rolled in bandages, and he's got a nice gauze on his face. Viola Cadaverini would be sent on a run for her money, if she tried to compete in "best mummy" against him. The absence of Ken, after nine months of being stuck with glue, is also painfully obvious.

Miles raises a tired eyebrow when he sees Shelly. ]

... Hello.

[usedrage.livejournal.com]

[Repeated calls. Miles has had them for the last twenty minutes. Ken's trying not to look worried, but failing. Hard.]

... Nemesis could probably take that Mareep. Do you want to borrow her?

[miniworth]

[ Charred, singed, bandaged, and now leaning back against a pile of pillows on his bed. Miles shakes his head at Ken's offer. ]

I won't take him out of the Ball for a while. When I do, I'll have Tal with me.

[Guess who is also visiting you, Miles 8( A blonde who is very worried.]

[miniworth]

[ Yay visitors. He waves tiredly. ] Good evening.

[Even Larry looks worried when he responds to this. gdit Miles stop getting hurt.]

What happened?

[video]

[miniworth]

[ O-oh Larry. ]

That Mareep has always been really violent.

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

...It seems to be a rather mischievous Mareep.

[video]

[miniworth]

I-I think it's rather past the level of mischievous.

[video]

[vulpesvivus]

...more like he found you. Are you alright?

[video]

[miniworth]

At least one week of bed rest... I guess it could have been worse.

[guess who's visiting you too. ;;

Nanako opens the door a crack, peeking in to see if he's sleeping.]

actioooon

[miniworth]

[ He's awake, propped up against a stack of pillows and petting the Espeon sleeping on his lap. Seeing Nanako, he looks surprised, but waves with a small smile! ]

Isn't it late for you to be walking around?

[superrising.livejournal.com]

What the...?

Are you okay, Miles?

[video]

[miniworth]

[ The delayed reply from a tattered Miles is dripping with his exhaustion. ]

I'm alive.

... I see that avoiding sheep in this world is a good idea.

[miniworth]

I-it's most probably only this one.

A very quiet knock, mind you. ]

[There's a sharp breath on Asuma's side.]

Will be you be alright, Miles?

[Video]

[miniworth]

I'll survive.

[Ciel looks just a tad bit concerned here.]

Miles? Is everything all right?

[video]

[miniworth]

Things are under control now. [ Sheep is in the Ball, and hospital was secured. ]

[Video] the latest, sorry 8c

[foolishwren]

Miles-- ... _shit.


Are you okay?

_{[She... will not lie. Her heart sort of stopped for a second when she saw that lightning flash. What the FUCK, Mareep. Usually those things are so friendly, too! 8c]}

... Nurse Joy might prefer "lucky to be alive" over "okay." I'll live.

[ His answer, coming after the twenty-minute interval, shows the gauzed and bandaged face of a tired kid. He's been placed on the Pokémon Center bed for at least a week's rest with some third-degree burns and other, not-as-bad burns.

But he's okay. ]
