3rd Quest [Video, after completing Heads or Tails]
[It's finally a sunny, warm day, hot but not terribly humid, and perfect for laying out bolts of felt to dry after May's deluge of rain. Or, well, to let them dry after being cleaned to ensure there's no mold or mildew or anything gross trying to grow on the fabric Firoza has worked so hard to make. And as she sits in the middle of this fabric drying in the sun, her mind wanders towards her efforts with Laios and Emmett to locate a missing Pokemon. The eerie feeling, the thought that came unbidden, the state that Zweilous was found in...
She has to talk about this. She has to express this. And when she comes in over the Grumpearls, you can get that sense of concern and confusion settling around her, making the sunny day a bit dimmer as a result.]
I don't recall Zweilous having gone missing before our arrival here. Has this Pokemon wandered off before?
[She hums, little Nidoran brow furrowed. It's important to note that she's finally started to keep her bandana pulled down again, and her right cheek (her right) has a wispy scar trailing across it, like tendrils of flame licking out. It's all healed, it doesn't look grotesque, but wow it sure is there!]
There's just...a feeling I had. "No, no, not again"...and I couldn't shake how familiar it was, to know you are missing a name and face, but you cannot put it together. Though how it can be familiar I'm not sure...
[Tap tap tap goes a paw, impatient as she thinks.]
Have any of you felt something similar, from a mission? Or am I overthinking this?

[Just a fucking nightmare expression on Firoza's face.
Do. Do they die for real if they fall unconscious like that...?]
no subject
It's not a complete loss! We still have someone comatose from before and they're still going strong...
...It just... ...I'm glad she woke up, is all.
no subject
...H...we have...some way to monitor...? I-I don't...I'm not learned in the healing arts, mundane or otherwise, and I have faith in Doctor Denne but...
[Emporio what are they gonna do there's no chirurgeons here]
no subject
[And with the confidence that statement comes with, hopefully Firoza feels at least a little better!]
It's...not really the same as what I'm used to, but they definitely know what they're doing.
no subject
...Alright. I will take you at your word, Emporio. [A sigh.] I assume you are more used to...well, maybe I ought not assume, but I just get a feeling that...your home has more technological advances in that regard?
no subject
...in a way I guess?
[That's not very confident sounding at all!!!]
...I wouldn't entirely know is the thing, but they managed to keep Dr. Kujo alive without his Stand and Memories, so probably.
no subject
I was not aware memory was a key component to staying alive.
no subject
I mean...think about it this way. Imagine if you forgot how to eat.
no subject
[She would hope she could relearn that, that's important...]
But then, so, his memories were so lost to him? To that degree? It must have been frightening.
no subject
...He lost his memory long before we met, and even then...when we met, he wasn't able to talk, or really do...anything.
[There's a ghost of an image- or maybe it really is a ghost. That's what the man feels like. Staring at nothing. Standing where the guards last pushed him.
He's not doing anything, but Emporio's quiet thought from that time bleeds through-
He looks like mom, when...]
He was just sort of there.
no subject
[She won't push on Emporio's thought. That's for him to share, when he's ready, only if he wishes. But there is a soft pang in her heart, at the idea of her own mother so...without her spark. That, Firoza has the presence of mind to clamp down and keep to herself.]
I see. Was there aught that could be done to help?
no subject
...but I don't know what Weather was like with his memories back...
[For some reason there's a vision of...Snails??? And rainbows???
What?]
But, with Weather, I just did my best. I was still learning to do things like talk, or read as well so...it was basically self-taught study, but for both of us!
no subject
[Holy shit. Emporio is powerful.]
no subject
It's like I said, we learned together..!!
[The fluster won't save him from how impressive it is!]
a lil Firoza Lore for a little baseball boy
Emporio, that's incredible! I could never have done that for myself! Do...do you know how hard it is to try to learn a new alphabet enough to read when you are approaching your teens? To learn, and teach another as you go...that takes great skill, and fortitude.
[Smart people are so! Fucking! Cool!]
no subject
[Fluster! Fluster! Fluster!!]
I- Th-thanks though I guess...
no subject
[There's like zero irony or sarcasm in there, she means it!]
no subject
...It's just weird to think about these things as 'impressive'...
no subject
Why is that?
no subject
Stuff I was doing, was all.
