video, at the end of october

[A weird, half-dead sunflower seed with dilated eyes and sweat rolling down its shell appears, shouting at you from the clinic.]

THE VOTE IS CLOSE!!!!!!! VOTE FOR UMBREON NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[He grabs the Grumpearl with a vine.]

DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT VOTING FOR LURANTIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nurse Chansey from the clinic visibly tries to wrestle the Grumpearl away from him. He shouts various curses that Emporio taught him. You may or may not have a headache now.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Of course!

[ Dismissive; he was actually a little more concerned that Flowey was raving! ]

Is he feverish?

I'm fine!!! Everyone's overreacting! I've had way worse before!

[This is said as Chansey is giving him a startling amount of medicine.]

That is not entirely comforting!

[ Even for people who don't know that you've literally died in the past, probably! ]

He is feverish, strange as that may be to say about a seed.

[ Shut up Flowey, they were there as Chansey was taking your temperature. ]

Rawst berries can be good for that! And tea, of course...

[ Hm. Yes, he has a sense of what to do. ]

I will bring something by later today. Will you still be there as well? [ He doesn't actually know their relationship, but they're there now. Ingo's not one to risk showing up without enough for everyone! ]

My rotation at the clinic will last another several hours yet. I may, of course, be pulled away to assist the clinic staff with other patients, but if I am not present with them when you arrive, you can rest assured that they are likely to be at the mercy of Narciso Anasui's tender loving care instead.

[ 'They', because Emporio is also here apparently, it turns out. There were multiple people pursuing this foolish endeavor, Apparently. ]

[ A burst of recognition - he knows Anasui as well! That works out perfectly, then! ]

Very well! If I do not see you, I hope that all goes well!

Very well, then.

[ Well, if he does stop by later, they will...

Still be there, it turns out. Not because they care, or out of concern or anything. But because certain seeds will apparently do stupid things like disturb the other patients (and everyone connected to the pearls) if left unattended, and Anasui is elsewhere at the moment. ]

[ Stop by later he does! Carrying things is still, somehow, difficult for him after ten months, so he's got a closed container of tea very carefully clamped between his jaws. He's glad to see the Yamask again! That is really not evident in his expression! Once he gets the container set down, though: ]

Ah, excellent to see you again! How is Flowey doing?

[ Glances over at the swaddled up Sunkern in baby jail. Once again, Nurse Chansey truly is a master of her craft.

But maybe Mean Look also doesn't hurt when it comes to keeping patients in one place, hm? ]

He has been treated, one way or another.

And if he should be, hm, released, or seen outside of this clinic at any point in the near future— then let it be known that it was against medical advice.

[ Will they have to be concerned about the seed attempting to climb out the windows? Who can say! ]

I see...I shall keep an eye out.

[ Said with a bit more of a frown. Ingo knows Flowey well enough to suspect this may indeed happen! But maybe his friend here will be able to stop it...they're certainly taking great pains to look after him. They must be close? It's good to see, really; Ingo's last conversation with the Sunkern revealed many very worrying things! ]

Well, I hope that you enjoy tea! It has dried Rawst in it - I have not tried this specific blend before, but it's not dissimilar from remedies we have at home!

I do not dislike it, though I am not entirely familiar with all of the herbs and fruits that might end up in a blend here. [ they say, drifting a little closer to examine the travel container. ] Not prior to awakening here, in any case.

[ Certainly, they've taken care to read up on what they can in their spare time, but reading that it is mildly bitter when ripe, and useful for burns (and elevated temperatures now, apparently?) is a far cry from knowing for themself how it tastes. ]

You did not need to bring anything, you realize? I do not even know that he will thank you for it.

[ Though who knows, maybe now that they've said that Flowey will in fact do so purely to be contrary? ]

[* You get the sense that Flowey will exaggeratedly thank him just to be contrary.]

Ah, I bring something for everyone who is in the clinic! And whoever is with them, of course.

[ Often when he comes here, it is because someone else has fallen into a coma. Obviously it's the visitors who really need it then. Except the one time, when it was him...

Ingo busies himself with unpacking the small cups he's brought along. One for himself as well; he does like to make a bit of a visit of it, unless he can sense it's unwelcome. ]

I am going to see Emporio after this.

You will not need to go far, in that case. He is here also.

[ Close enough to have been caught briefly on the video stream from Flowey's perspective before the seed threw his grumpearl out the window, anyway.

They'll also drift back to the task they had been attending to before he came in (which is stocking some of the pediatric medications and equipment in the nearby crash cart) though they comment: ]

A ground, a grass, and a fire-type, all out to a frozen lake together. It sounds somewhat like the setup for a morbid joke of some sort, does it not?

[ Ingo grimaces a little, too alarmed to be amused. ]

Oh dear! That was very poorly planned!

[ He can see how they might have imagined it being okay with a fire-type, but with frozen lakes, you never want to forget the "lake" part! ]

[ * You tell a joke about two kids who... ]

Indeed. I am not sure what any of them were trying to prove.

I am sure they have nothing to prove!

[ Though admittedly neither Flowey nor Emporio is the strongest of Pokemon...he's just too nice to say so. ]

I only hope that they have learned better now!

Then I would have expected Emporio, at least, to show more caution. Flowey, of course, will do as he will.

[ Which is apparently halfway kill himself doing tasks for these guilds? Certainly they are indebted to them for their hospitality, but as far as they are aware, they are hardly being pressured to perform, and do so so foolhardily.

Perhaps it is different for Cheris? Ah well. Their task complete, they float their way back over to the Typhlosion, delicately picking up one of the cups he's brought along. ]

[ Ingo chuckles in the back of his throat. He's poured two cups of tea for now, since Flowey isn't partaking for a little while, and he angles his big head to carefully lap from his own. ]

I suppose. He is quite brave!

That is one word for it, I suppose.

[ A very generous one at that! ]

But perhaps my perspective is quite skewed when I am still capable of terrifying him.

Oh, dear - the two of you knew each other before, then?

[ They did mention having a sibling about! Though - hm, hm. After what Flowey's confided to him...maybe he shouldn't actually have asked. ]

[ They'll finish up the sip they're taking from their own cup, before: ]

My, that is certainly a reaction. 'Oh, dear' — is there something to be concerned about here?

[ Answering a question with a question is a bit impolite, perhaps, but now their curiosity's been piqued by his sudden apprehension. Has someone been telling more stories than they've been aware of, or is this about Flowey himself? ]

[ Ingo blinks; he hadn't really meant it that seriously? If anything, it's sort of nice that they seem to both have someone to mess with. ~~Maybe he can sort of unconsciously recognize Sibling Behavior.~~ ]

Well, I suppose that depends on why you are frightening him!

[ They, too, are (mostly) messing around. But Flowey's been a little careless about some things, and in a state of feverish delirium at current to boot, so they thought they'd check.

Anyway, in response to him, they just offer, in sardonic deadpan: ]

Keeps him in check when he starts thinking he's the absolute God of Hyperdeath again.

[ They will not go into the details of certain other history. ]
