[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.]

Threaded | Flat

You too, huh...?

[Guess who has similar symptoms--her hair is almost completely purple, blue and purple scales fanning down her neck and shoulders, disappearing under her dress. The feed shakes as she hiccups a Bubble, looking sheepish.]

It's more trouble than it's worth, if you ask me.

It's-s ice f-f-for m-me...

[Hiccup's shivering has only been getting worse, as time progresses, and...he doesn't even want to think about how he looks. Luca probably didn't need one more trainer's mutated appearance lingering in his brain, anyway.

After a moment of chattering teeth, he sighs and switches his tone to a mumble.]

...M-my dragons d-don't want to be near me e-e-either-r.

Electric over here.

[His symptoms is similiar, but a bit mild. Discoloured yellow skin and he's trying to keep his breathing steady, mostly to calm his rapid heartbeats.]

And I can say that wild Pokemon...don't really like us.

You too?

[Rima is fine. For now. But this is happening all over the network, so... ;;]

... this is getting kind of ridiculous in how half of the network is starting to look like we all walked into a cosplay convention.

Please, take care of yourself...

So it's not just me, then.

[GUESS WHO HAS BEEN TOO MISERABLE TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE NETWORK FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS...]
