[For once, it isn't a video or even audio feed that Anders starts, but plain text. Things are a bit too personal right now to risk the wrong shot, and it'll be easier to keep his composure not reacting quite in real time.]

I may have imagined it, but I recall hearing somewhere recently that sometimes people here become comatose for short periods. If this is true, I would appreciate the advice of anyone familiar with these incidents. I have no way to diagnose or address complications from this state without my magic. I'm particularly worried about hydration and nutrition in an afflicted person.

And if I'm mistaken, and invented this concept in my own head, I need to know, urgently.

It does happen sometimes

The best thing to do is take the person to a Pokemon Center

That way the nurses can keep an eye on them while they're out of it, or if it's NOT one of those comas and the person actually legit passed out or had a heart attack or something, they'll be able to find out and take care of it better than anybody else

[purramedic]

It doesn't strike me as anything natural like that, but if they can help, I'll try. Thank you. [He probably should have done that first, but... nobody ever said Anders makes rational decisions.]

You've seen this before?

[foolishwren]

Yeah

Lots of times

It's weird and it can be jarring but assuming it's what you and I both think it is, the person should be fine

I really only mention the nurses and the Pokemon Center as a precaution

[purramedic]

I'd prefer to play it safe. I'll see what they have to say.

I do appreciate the reassurances.

[foolishwren]

Better safe than sorry. Letting the nurses take care of it lets YOU rest a little, too.

And no problem.

This place has some weird quirks-- they take awhile to get used to

irrelevant but i happened upon ur cr chart and i adore how u wrote it

[purramedic]

I would rather it be me. [That's kind of impossible, though. Thanks, space llama.]

And here I thought I had adjusted quite nicely. Are there any other nasty surprises I should be aware of?

Aw thank you!!! I ... REALLY need to get back to work on it, it's already out of date...

[foolishwren]

Honestly the unfortunate reality of this place is that there's ALWAYS surprises

The FORTUNATE part is that they're not always nasty

This is one that's... stressful, but not usually catastrophic in the long run



You friend, uh... might wake up with more memories from home than they had before, though.

Just fair warning.
