A volcanic island, huh.

[Guess where a certain lazy mage is today. If his description of the place isn't enough, the way he's using the camera to show off the scenery of Cinnabar Island as he wanders about might be. ...Or maybe the other way around, for those folks who've never been to Kanto.]

Apparently, there used to be a town here, until it erupted a few years back. Well, I guess there are reasons why they built it here and reasons why they maybe shouldn't have, can't really say anything about that.

If we were staying more than one night, it could be interesting to dig through the rock or something, I guess. Try and dig out some of the old buildings, see what life was like around here and stuff.

...If we were staying more than one night. But no, of course not. We can't stay in one place for too long. Why would we stay in one place for too long.

[It's like he's tired of constantly moving or something.]

...Haaaaaaaaaa, what a pain. I can't wait until this is over. Then maybe that guy'll let me stay in one town for more than a week at a time. Wouldn't that be nice, to get some actual sleep for once.

[He doesn't knock on the door to their room once he gets there - why should he? He's got a key, and it's just the two of them. Knowing Sion, he's probably keeping himself busy with work as usual, so he'll hear the key turn and know he's back immediately.

Of course, what greets Ryner instead when he gets back is the scene of his best friend completely sound asleep, to which the mage is... unsure how to react, actually. Should he leave him asleep, since he obviously needs it, and encourage this behavior in the future? Should he wake him up now and scold him for pushing himself so hard that he's exhausted himself so much? Should he draw on his face and tease him relentlessly later?

Oh so many options.]

*well, given his state of undress, it's probably pretty clear that Sion didn't intend to fall asleep, and yet, there he is. it also incidentally gives a very nice view of the various bony ridges on his body that he otherwise tends to keep covered; fully visible, they really probably look like they must make wearing clothes a bit uncomfortable. and sitting. and really doing almost anything....*

[They really do look extremely uncomfortable, yeah. Compared to Sion's, Ryner's own are nothing. Just some stripes in inconvenient places, but nothing jutting out. (...okay and his eyes have issues but those are dealt with by wearing sunglasses all the time, and besides his eyes having issues is nothing new so.)

And yet here Sion's been overworking himself to the point of over-exhaustion. How many badges has Sion won in the past month? How many towns has he dragged Ryner through, never stopping for more than a day or two? This isn't healthy even without being obviously uncomfortable.

...Maybe let him sleep as long as he wants, and then scold him when he wakes up on his own. But the marker option would still be funny...]

*and without dealing with all the other effects. when have you ever seen him wearing so little before, really? it's not like he's not used to the warm summers in Roland...

in any case, though, still very much asleep here*

[Definitely odd. It's not like it's as hot as it could get back in Roland, even.

...You know what, he's going to leave you asleep, but he'll quietly rummage through his bag to find a pen or something.]

*well, if you look closely, you might notice that his skin's a bit clammy, and if you touch him it feels a little cool to the touch. abnormally low body temperature, perhaps?

and if you draw on him you are going to be so dead when he wakes up. assuming that the drawing doesn't wake him up in the first place :|*

[Not like he's going to touch, but that would do it.

Oh, this pen isn't for himself. He'll just leave it out in case one of the Pokémon decide that they've got a creative urge to let out. :3]

*it would certainly help explain why he seems to have been eating even less than usual the past month, if his metabolism's slowed as well

....and you are a terrible best friend :|*

[Yeah, that's been just a little worrisome, there. Seriously, much as no one can die in Johto, there's no reason to push the limit, y'know. >_>

Hey, who's the one who's been dragging his best friend all over this half of the continent non-stop for the past month?]

*hey it's not his fault if he's just not hungry, okay

shush it's good for you*

[If you don't eat, you don't have energy, and if you spend more energy than you have, like, say, with running around half the continent nonstop *cough*, you're going to get sick. And then what, O Hero King?

...Either way, now that the pen has been set out conspicuously on the floor where playing members of our respective menageries will see it, Ryner is just going to flop on his own bed.]

*riding on a pokemon doesn't take that much energy, relatively speaking. it's just the heat that's the problem here :/

though between having been sleeping probably a good hour and the sudden creaking of that bed, he might be stirring a bit now*

[It's still running around half the continent non-stop for the past month.

...Man you are such a light sleeper. :/]

*I already overslept by a lot, what more do you want? :/ in any case kind of rising propping himself up on his elbows and blinking blearily at the room, obviously not quite fully alert yet; seeing his bare back as he moves probably makes it painfully clear just how awkward those mutations make it*

....Ryner?

[yyyyyyyyep and this is why you need to rest more sir.]

Morning, Sion. Go back to bed.

*hang on a sec while he realizes just what he's wearing (or not wearing) and the fact that you're just sitting there*

...why didn't you wake me?

You obviously needed it. Still probably could use more, knowing you.

Hardly. Certainly not like this, at any rate.

*don't mind him while he retrieves his shirt and pants; not that there's anything Ryner hasn't seen before, but it's the principle of the matter*

Whatever helps you get some rest for once.

I get plenty of rest, Ryner.

*Dusk DOES tend to enforce a bedtime most nights...*

We've been going from place to place non-stop for the past month, and you say you get plenty of rest. Uh huh. Somehow I don't buy that.

We've spent at least a night in each city, and we haven't been traveling at nearly as fast a pace as we could, you know.

It's still way too fast, Sion.

And the faster we move, the faster we can be finished.

Or the faster one of us collapses from exhaustion.
