Who: Fitzroy, Rainer, Morgan, and Leonardo
Where: Goldenrod
When: After dingus' canon update
Summary: Fitzroy's dumb self is awake again after a canon update coma and he sure missed some stuff, huh.
Rating: Probs like PG-13 or something.

It had almost felt like an eternity for Fitzroy during the week he was out. He'd thought he'd returned home for good to take care of... well, everything. Turning the world on its head and, arguably, the entire damn plane. He was exhausted and frazzled even after everything and when he woke up he hadn't expected to be... here.

He's blinking up at the ceiling, knowing damn well that it's not the place he went to sleep to begin with. There's a familiar feeling of a crab against his side but it feels... off, not his original Snippers.

Wait, this looks familiar.

Oh, hell.

"So I destroy an entire economy, beat the crap out of Order and avoid the end of the universe and I end up back here? You know what, fine, I'll take it." He's not even sure if anyone's around him, but of course his first thing he's saying is, well, petty and annoyed.

It still is Fitzroy, after all.

Wait, hold on. Rainer is the important one here as he's furrowing his brow at her for a moment before reaching to pet Snippers 2.0 in his lap.

"No? Previously it had just been after the whole... accidentally getting taller incident? I wasn't aware of a whole lot of the whole Chaos and Order business." It's still a weird situation in and of itself, but goodness gracious.

"As for said apocalypse, no, I doubt it'd be something you'd need to worry about as I'm... fairly certain it was an exclusive to Nua sort of thing. And no, I did not see you there, either, Morgan." Unless she was in the crowd or something, but he highly doubts it. After all, the last bit of it had really only been the trio and Gray for whatever stupid damn reason.

"Honestly, I just... I just want to rest now that I'm not beholden to any of it."

[necrodentia]

Rainer has so many questions, though she thinks they might be different questions than the ones Leo and Morgan might want to ask.

"I did wonder how you could have been here so long without going missing from Nua..." If there's some kind of whacky-dacky time magic going on then that would explain some things.

They can hammer out the specifics later if they need to, the important thing is that Fitz is here and awake and none the worse for wear.

"You can rest if you want, but from our perspective, you've just been asleep for a whole week straight..."

[neverfinishanyth]

"I'm sure your pokemon have missed you, too."

That is, if Snippers 2.0's extra bubbling on occasion meant anything.

[disownedbytime]

Morgan sits up properly and nods, her smile fading. "They missed you, and we missed you, too. We heard about people falling asleep like that and then waking up later after having gone home for a while, but we couldn't know for sure that's what happened. I thought...maybe you wouldn't wake up at all. Or you would, but you wouldn't remember us. That's what happened to me."

She summons a small smile back, but it's a little unsteady. "I'm glad you didn't forget us."

[maplecourt]

All three of them are almost making him regret the fact he went back, not that... he had any control over it or anything. Right. Deep breaths. Steady.

"Well, I more meant rest as in "I'm really not in the mood for any more fighting nonsense" manner." Which is pretty much this whole world in a nutshell since he doesn't do any of the fighting himself.

AND MORGAN IS NOT PLAYING FAIR HERE. "I assure you, if I woke up not remembering any of you, I wouldn't be talking to you right now." Look, he knows what he's about. And it's ignoring near everyone else unless he wants to talk to them.

"But, uh. What'd I miss, then?"

[necrodentia]

"In that case, we'll let you get out of bed and get back in-- well... I was going to say, 'back in fighting shape,' but that's... kind of the opposite vibe we're going for. You know what I mean!"

She'll roll back to give Fitz some breathing room and look a little nervously from Leo to Morgan, debating how much detail they want to go into on their attempts at waking up the Sleeping Beaut-barian.

"Well... To start with, anyone who had magic back home got their magic back, so that was fun! And then also... Pokemon's sizes got all chaotic." Perhaps not the best choice of words, considering what Fitzroy just went through, but... If the shoe fits?

"Snippers 2, krablectric boogaloo got big enough for you to ride on!"

[neverfinishanyth]

Leonardo chuckles, a little nervously. Let's just not talk about it, yeah, that'll work. And a lot of other things happened, so maybe they don't need to talk about the... kissing and such, that may or may not have involved a crab.

"They could get smaller, too, but that was a little bit less intense. And it was difficult to travel, because sometimes you would end up somewhere else entirely when you went through the door."

[disownedbytime]

"It was wild." Morgan's smile becomes more confident again. "I was disappointed not to get to see your magic in action, Fitzy, but I definitely saw Rainer's! We had a skeleton party! They were dancing and everything. Even you were there! Er, not dancing, though. Just sort of...flopping over a little. I bet no one could tell the difference!"

[maplecourt]

RUDE, MORGAN.

Though he's letting all of that sink in before clicking his tongue just once. Okay, so he missed wild shenanigans which is about his luck to be honest. But he's not particularly fussed by having missed the whole... skeleton... party... thing...

"Sad I missed the giant Snippers 2.0, less so about the skeleton party. And ehhh on the magic bit. Honestly, it's really not as interesting as you probably were thinking it was." It's just electricity, like come on. Or maybe he's just too tired to argue the point and is really just Over the whole magic thing at this point.

No one could blame him at this point.

"Sooo. Other than... I guess getting my legs back in order, what's the plan of business?"

[necrodentia]

Rainer's eyebrows raise. She'd been so preoccupied with waiting for Fitz to wake up, she hadn't put any thought into what they would do after.

"Oh... I dunno! I guess we can get back on the road, unless anyone still has business here in town?"

[neverfinishanyth]

"I suppose another question is, does anyone have any business somewhere else?"

After all, being on the road is nice, but they probably need a destination before they set out.

[disownedbytime]

"Business, eh? Hmmm..."

She strokes her chin as though she had a beard, although she does not.

"Say, Fitzitude. Didn't you once say you wanted to start up a stable so people could buy horses? Well, it just so happens that your BFF Morgan can breed great horses! I could even breed them to order, if somebody wanted to give us a bunch of money. And..."

She tilts her head in the other direction to switch which hand she's stroking her chin with.

"I want to sell eggs too! And trade them. And people can come from far and wide to have their Pokemon breed with mine. And we could give some away to children and people who have only just arrived and need help building up their teams!"

She stops stroking her chin, then, to point at Leo, excited.

"And Leo could draw everyone's Pokemon and sell the drawings, and--" Now she points at Rainer. "Rainer could be in charge of ghosts. Ghost breeding and giving people advice on raising ghost Pokemon...ooh, and maybe even make a haunted house! Woooo~~ Spooky, right?"

[maplecourt]

You know, he didn't expect her to actually have a good idea but these are actually great ideas. He's blinking slowly at Morgan, seeming to be confused for a brief second, well.

"Yes, I... was thinking of doing that. Though Willow is still a baby currently, so I doubt she'd be great for that particular business yet." But she will be soon. Very, very soon.

"Though I also remember speaking to someone at that... prom... thing... That had offered a pretty flexible job over in Ecruteak, which I think is... the next town over? Would at least pad out our finances for a bit." Even if he's not about to say what the hell it is or why he ended up getting anything like that. Thank you very much.

[necrodentia]

The phrase 'ghost breeding' is never not going to be weird for Rainer to hear. But... Morgan's got some good ideas!

"Ooh, maybe! I think there are some cool ghost Pokemon in Ecruteak that I can try to catch, too. And padding our finances is never a bad thing."

[neverfinishanyth]

"And it would be nice to set up a small workshop so that I could work on some paintings."

He hasn't had a chance to paint since he's arrived, and he misses it quite a lot.

"So it sounds as if we are in agreement: Ecruteak next, and then our various... other ventures."

[disownedbytime]

Morgan beams. "Look at us, we're on our way to Pokemon mastery! This deserves an affirmation. And a celebration! I propose: group hug, followed by drinks. And no, Fitzy, you are not exempt from the group hug."

She scoots over to the side of the bed so Rainer can reach, and then opens her arms wide with an expectant look at all of them.

"Don't leave me hanging, guys!"

[necrodentia]

Rainer grins happily. A group hug is exactly what they need. Thank the gods for Morgan, always coming up with the best ideas.

(No one tell Morgan she thought that.)

Rainer stands up from her chair (carefully) to better have her arms available for hugging, and closes the gap between herself and Morgan.

"Wouldn't dream of it, girlfriend!"

[neverfinishanyth]

Leonardo quickly joins the hug pile in progress.

[maplecourt]

Why must it always be hugging with all of them? He huffs loudly at this group hug nonsense in progress, but he knows damn well he doesn't want to deal with the fall out from it.

Fiiiine, he guesses.

As much as he doesn't want to join this nonsense, he guess he will.

"You are lucky I've come back at this time period."
