[There's something-- different about Luca when he comes onto the feed today.

Maybe it's the silver scales fanning up from the back of his neck and around his collarbones, and dotting his face and arms (as well as many other-- less visible places). Maybe it's the fact he is, actually, dressed down - in a t-shirt and a pair of jeans he bought from Celadon's store, and looking pretty awkward out of his usual wear.

Maybe it's the fact he's leaking. There's water dripping down his scales and skin, as well as off of his hair. Instead of holding his PokéGear, he's let his Audino film for today. He looks more than a little tired, too.]

...I thought it was strange for the locals to start growing horns and scales and things, but I didn't realize it could infect us too. [He tried tending to a few infected NPCs, but-- couldn't really figure out the cause. As for people he's seen on the network--] Um... Some people, I've noticed, have red splotches and others have yellow... You can probably use fire and electricity-based attacks then, right?

[The only reason he's deducted this, though, is as he shows; when he opens his mouth to speak, he gets a wide-eyed look and turns his head; water spits out of his mouth, much like a Water Gun, and he looks sick again.]

Um... Sorry. Anyway, I hope everyone stays safe and gets better soon. It seems like Pokémon who are the opposite of whatever you have really don't like you [he glances at his Pokéballs and sighs, evidently not happy that his Charmander's become more hostile] and I'm going to bet that it's the same for ones that don't have trainers.

[He scratches at his scales, then wipes some condensation off of his face and slumps his shoulders.]

...I'm going to go lie down for a bit. Sorry for such a long ramble. I don't even know what I'm really saying anymore. [Time to address the cameraman.] Doctor, that's enough.

[With that, the feed goes out. Seasickness was bad enough; having it on land is even worse.]

[OOC: ICly, it'll be about two hours until he gets to replies.]

[She laughs, but it sounds more like a croak.] No, no--I understand. I'd rather this than burning up like I've seen some people do. I just wish I could stop...wanting to swim so badly.

It's better than feeling sick every time you try to walk because your body's convinced you're already in water. [His giggle sends small bubbles into the air and he reddens, embarrassed.] Oops.

[She laughs again, only succeeding in hiccuping more bubbles, and more, and--] Oh, now you've g-got me started! There's no where to--[hiccup! at this rate, she's going to Bubblebeam.]--swim where you are?

[Her hiccuping of bubbles makes him laugh, too, and -- oh no, this is terrible. Laughter is only the best medicine when it doesn't make bubbles.]

S-Sorry! Celadon's pretty land-locked, although there's--[Is that a Bubblebeam? No, no, just too many bubbles to talk through. Luca tries to calm himself and manages to do so somewhat, although he giggles as he talks and lets out smaller bubbles again.] There's a pool of water in front of one of the houses, but it seems pretty dirty. I wouldn't want to go in that.

[Eventually Kiki just claps her hands over her mouth, focusing on what Luca is saying rather than how he's saying it. That seems to make the bubbles abate somewhat.]

I wouldn't try it if I were you. [It's probably got Grimers in it.] But if you're at the Breeding Center--why don't you come out to the backyard? You can come hang out with my Staryu and me.

Sure. You wouldn't mind my Audino coming along too, would you? He's kind of watching over me right now to make sure I don't get any worse.

[...because his Sentret had apparently insisted on it.]
