  1. Sep 15 13:58:40 <~zoofman> Anna's been hospitalized since the aftermath of the battle at the factory. That said, visiting hours at this facility are pretty open, so finding time to stop in is little to no issue.
  2. Sep 15 14:01:39 <Saryx> Little to no issue? Saryx would pop in perhaps early in the evening of the day after, then. Once he gets sorted out by protocol and whatnot, he makes his way to Anna's room, knocking on the door before popping his head in with a quiet-ish "Hey, Anna? You awake?" a few seconds after.
  3. Sep 15 14:03:40 <~zoofman> Anna's bed ridden with one arm in a heavy cast and lots of other bandages. She's got a laptop open on her stomache, which she closes when the door opens. "Um, yes? Oh. Um. HiSaryx."
  4. Sep 15 14:06:49 <Saryx> Saryx has to hold back the urge to wince or grimace in pain when he sees the visuals of how badly Anna got wrecked. "Hey~ Sorry if I startled you any." He's assuming he might've, or at the very least provoked a 'Oh God don't let them know I'm a weeb' moment or something of the sort. "Just thought it might be a good idea to come in and check on you, see how you were doing."

  6. Sep 15 14:09:13 <~zoofman> "Pretty terrible." :<
  7. Sep 15 14:09:58 «--- Domovoi (Domo@sux-B9D9571C.hsd1.il.comcast.net) has Left #easternislesrhapsody (Leaving)
  8. Sep 15 14:10:42 <~zoofman> "I don't think I'll be doing anything exciting for a while like this.."
  9. Sep 15 14:13:29 <Saryx> Saryx frowns. "Yeah, there really isn't a whole lot you can do with an injury like that. ... Sorry..." He feels a great deal of 'well, shit' right now, what with how he was trying so hard to keep everyone from getting mauled and didn't really succeed all too well with that.
  10. Sep 15 14:17:04 <~zoofman> "I-it's okay, I wasn't any use anyway, so it's probably better this way.."
  11. Sep 15 14:17:22 <Saryx> Whelp.
  12. Sep 15 14:17:29 <Saryx> She just hit the JRProtag Trigger.
  13. Sep 15 14:17:46 »» Aori_Radisleep is now known as Aori_Radidjiu
  14. Sep 15 14:22:32 <Saryx> Saryx' frown curls just a bit more when she starts verbally beating herself down. "What are you saying, 'wasn't any use'? It took each and every one of us working together to clean out that factory. If even one of wasn't there, it could've gone a whole lot worse." ... Would Saryx have any knowledge that Anna nursed everyone on the other side up to full health before Round 2 of
  15. Sep 15 14:22:32 <Saryx> that fight started up?
  16. Sep 15 14:23:21 <~zoofman> Depends on if he asked how that side went, otherwise no
  17. Sep 15 14:26:24 <Saryx> Hmmm... Then yeah, probably wouldn't have known about that. "You can't tell me that the whole time we were there you did absolutely nothing useful, can you? Even the littlest thing counts for a whole bunch."
  18. Sep 15 14:27:18 <~zoofman> "I helped some people with Potions...but anyone could have done that."
  19. Sep 15 14:29:14 <~zoofman> "Ice isn't really...any good againt Steel, after all..."
  20. Sep 15 14:32:51 <Saryx> "And what's the problem with fixing people up when they're battered? You're not giving yourself any credit here, Anna! You realized what you normally are good at wasn't gonna work any, so you adapted and made yourself useful elsewhere!"
  21. Sep 15 14:33:58 <Saryx> "Just because someone else could have shelled out potions and other things to patch everyone else up doesn't mean they had the foresight to bring enough to patch everyone else up, Anna. You did, though."
  22. Sep 15 14:34:42 <Saryx> "So from where I'm standing, it sounds like you were pretty helpful yesterday, Anna~"
  23. Sep 15 14:37:08 <~zoofman> "Lot of good they all did..." she mumbles as she lifts up the cast.
  24. Sep 15 14:39:26 <~zoofman> "I dont' know...maybe you're right, but doesn't really feel like it mattered at all."
  25. Sep 15 14:41:25 <Saryx> Somewhere throughout that 'No you're not useless' speech, he'd repositioned himself so instead of standing at the door, he was now sitting down in a chair that, were it not already there, he'd have pulled it up so he'd be sitting nearby Anna. "For all you know, Anna, those potions of yours could have saved someone's life! You're just not giving yourself enough credit for what you
  26. Sep 15 14:41:25 <Saryx> can do." A moment's pause. "... Actually, Anna... You kind of never give yourself enough credit for what you can do!"
  27. Sep 15 14:45:27 <~zoofman> "Because I always screw up or get someone or myself hurt. I'm just the token little sister..."
  28. Sep 15 14:51:00 <Saryx> "Nnnngh..." She's being difficult, this girl. Saryx has to try to think what he can say here. "... So you really believe you're nothing more than just a cute face when next to your sister? That there's absolutely nothing you can do that she can't do better?"
  29. Sep 15 14:53:04 <~zoofman> She thinks on that but it's pretty brief. "...Yes, pretty much."
  30. Sep 15 14:57:12 <Saryx> "... What about alchemy? When I asked your dad about it, he told me to find you. Not your sister, Anna, but you explicitly. If he thought Ammy could really do that better than you could, don't you think he would have sent me to talk to her instead of to you about it?"
  31. Sep 15 15:00:39 <~zoofman> "When we first started, she used her money from her business to help pay to get an alchemist to make things for us. That's how I met Mister Carl and started taking lessons...but it didn't really -matter-. And I'm still no good at it..."
  32. Sep 15 15:00:48 <~zoofman> "You got better than me in like, a day..."
  33. Sep 15 15:01:01 <~zoofman> She sighs and looks down. "Maybe I should just go back to school or something..."
  34. Sep 15 15:05:53 <Saryx> Saryx tries to think on this just a bit more, before giving one last attempt at the whole 'trying to convince Anna she's not completely useless' thing. "... If you think there's nothing you can do right now that'll make you stand out from your sister, or make yourself useful in comparison to the rest of your Team... Why not try and learn something else new?"
  35. Sep 15 15:08:28 <~zoofman> "But that's why I'd go back to school...just...go to NHU or something. I really want to enjoy this job but I'm just miserable at the moment..."
  36. Sep 15 15:14:27 <Saryx> "There's gotta be something you think is useful that no one else amongst them can all do. ... And who said I was better than you? You always think you've lost before you even try something. You keep thinking you're useless and going to fail, you will be useless and fail. I'm not against the idea of you going back to school to pick up something, but you're gonna have to wait,
  37. Sep 15 15:14:28 <Saryx> like, four or five months until then before classes start up... You think there's something, anything at all, that if you started trying to pick it up now, would really make you useful?"
  38. Sep 15 15:16:03 <Saryx> "Like, you said Ammy's got stuff alchemized for you already, right? You can always learn to get better at that. Make things even better than what they already have, are good for something the equipment they already have can't really deal with all too well, compensate for something none of you all can do!"
  39. Sep 15 15:16:54 <~zoofman> "Well...it'd be more like a year since I'd have to apply in the fall and then wait until the next fall..." she frowns even harder than she was before. "Auuuu, this sucks."
  40. Sep 15 15:18:27 <~zoofman> She buries her face in her hands. "I don't know. Why do you even care, anyway?" She mumbles something. Roll Perception.
  41. Sep 15 15:18:55 <Saryx> 4d6+1+2 Spending an AP
  42. Sep 15 15:18:56 <DiceMaid-9001> Saryx, Spending an AP: 11 [4d6=1,2,4,1]
  43. Sep 15 15:21:00 <~zoofman> You are pretty sure it was something like "I couldn't even make something something..."
  44. Sep 15 15:21:40 <~zoofman> (something something being words that were too mumbled to understand)
  45. Sep 15 15:24:42 <Saryx> "Why do I care? Because you're my friend, Anna, but you're a mess right now, and it hurts to see my friends upset and beating themselves up over everything! You think everything's been smooth sailing for me since I first became an Explorer? It hasn't. At all. Since me and the rest of the Braves first started, I ended up in the hospital bed just like you are right now, like, four
  46. Sep 15 15:24:42 <Saryx> times or something like that! And even when I don't, there are a whole lot of times I've felt like I've been useless to the team, too. And that whole mission yesterday, it's because I screwed something up real bad myself!"
  47. Sep 15 15:27:46 <Saryx> "But everything I screwed up, let the other guys down... I'm not letting those stop me! They're reminders that I just gotta keep trying and getting better and better, picking up new skills and learning new things, so that I can be more useful to the Braves! I'm still screwing up, but every failure's something I can learn from to get better, Anna... And, well... Idunno, maybe
  48. Sep 15 15:27:46 <Saryx> you can try looking at things like that?"
  49. Sep 15 15:29:50 <Saryx> "Just pick yourself up and keep trying harder and harder. Things will start working out soon enough!"
  50. Sep 15 15:30:32 <~zoofman> You can tell she listened to you and processed everything you said, but when she turns toward you with that sad expression, what she says is. "Because...I'm a...friend?" I think Saryx's intuition is high enough to realize what she took away from that.
  51. Sep 15 15:32:25 <Saryx> Blink blink. ... Yup he got it.
  52. Sep 15 15:36:05 <Saryx> "Yeah, Anna... You're my friend..." His face is turning a bit red now that he gets it. She should get that he gets it (and probably there's a bit of an '... ah crap'-ish tone to his saying it, too) from the way he responded.
  53. Sep 15 15:37:20 <~zoofman> Sniff.
  54. Sep 15 15:38:28 <~zoofman> "Baaaaaaw." She loses it all at once, picking up a pillow and crying into it. "I-I should have known a-after the next m-morning b-but I was t-too afraid to ask!"
  55. Sep 15 15:41:13 <Saryx> "Maaaaan..." While Anna's got her face buried into a pillow, he's got his own buried into his hands. This is exactly the opposite of what he was hoping to accomplish by visiting. He was supposed to be making her feel better, not cause the girl to go crying ballistic.
  56. Sep 15 15:43:45 <Saryx> "Anna, it's... It's... I'm sorry, Anna, I..." He fumbles about with words once he's removed his face from his hands.
  57. Sep 15 15:45:30 <~zoofman> "Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! W-what did I do wrong? W-why not me b-but t-those t-two?"
  58. Sep 15 15:47:41 <Saryx> "I-it's not like I didn't think you were cute, it's just... You never showed any interest more than..."
  59. Sep 15 15:47:43 <Saryx> . . .
  60. Sep 15 15:47:48 <Saryx> ". . . Those two?!?"
  61. Sep 15 15:48:07 <Saryx> "What?!?"
  62. Sep 15 15:49:12 <Saryx> "Who told...?!? How did you...?!?" Now it's Saryx' turn to be an incoherent (albeit not crying) mess of 'what the fuck, man?!?'
  63. Sep 15 15:50:21 <~zoofman> "W-what do you mean told you? W-when you t-three were leaving I insisted in coming with, and Annette and her friend did too a-and we watched a movie and then Annette and her friend left and I fell asleep on the couch and woke up wearing someone else's underwear and saw..."
  64. Sep 15 15:50:27 <~zoofman> She just resumes to crying into her pillow.
  65. Sep 15 15:51:15 <Saryx> ". . ."
  66. Sep 15 15:55:41 <Saryx> This is an exceptionally awkward moment for Saryx right now, in case Anna can't tell by his face being about as red as... As red as... Well it's pretty fucking red right now.
  67. Sep 15 15:57:32 <Saryx> ". . . Well, I . . . At least I don't have to make a post on MeetUp asking about anyone having left their belongings at my place now, hunh?" The single most awkward nervous chuckle ever escapes Saryx' lips.
  68. Sep 15 16:00:00 <~zoofman> She pauses her crying, then realizes this means you have her underwear, then bawls even harder.
  69. Sep 15 16:01:46 <Saryx> But seriously, Saryx moves a little closer to Anna. "What you saw that night, Anna, I... Well, it was a disaster for everyone. I had waaay too much to drink that night and the morning after was just awful and I... I don't know how to explain it except it... Maaan, i wish you told me you were interested in me before, Anna!"
  70. Sep 15 16:03:44 <~zoofman> She starts to get angry as well as sad, and freezes the pillow and throws it at you!
  71. Sep 15 16:04:40 <~zoofman> 1d20 aurora pillow!
  72. Sep 15 16:04:42 <DiceMaid-9001> zoofman, aurora pillow!: 3 [1d20=3]
  73. Sep 15 16:04:52 <~zoofman> It misses and shatters against a wall
  74. Sep 15 16:05:32 <~zoofman> "Get out! Now! Why can't you just leave me alone!?"
  75. Sep 15 16:11:46 <Saryx> Well, if Anna wanted Saryx to get hurt, even the slightest bit, she got it. Saryx recoils back within the chair as she flings the pillow at him, which causes him to tip over along with the chair. Just a little bump on the back of his head is all he'd suffer, possibly. "Anna..." It comes out weakly... "I'm sorry... I wasn't trying to hurt you any..."
  76. Sep 15 16:12:43 <~zoofman> "OUT!"
  77. Sep 15 16:13:26 <~zoofman> She's sort of out of things to throw other than a laptop, and she just shattered her pillow, so she turns away from you and continues to weep.
  78. Sep 15 16:16:50 <Saryx> Saryx pulls himself up from the floor. "Can you at least tell me why you're angry with me now?!?" If she isn't willing to give a response to that, he's probably not gonna be able to get anything else out of her, so he'd leave with a sigh.
  79. Sep 15 16:19:42 <~zoofman> "If you don't leave RIGHT NOW I'm calling for security!"
  80. Sep 15 16:22:35 <Saryx> ". . . Alright, Anna..." His own mood having become completely deflated by this whole encounter, he heads out. Right before he heads out the door, though... Hmmm, would he have any parting words? ... Eeenh, at the moment let's say no, he's already treading on thin ice here.
  81. Sep 15 16:24:43 <~zoofman> Anna continues to cry loudly - you can hear it from the hallway - and Saryx gets some quizzical looks from some of the nurses in the hallway, but no one prys as to what transpired.
  82. Sep 15 16:26:58 <~zoofman> And that's probably a </heartcrusher>
