JJBA CLINIC EXPERIENCE

WHO: Anasui, Emporio, and YOU...Potentially all at once!
WHAT: Anasui is treating patients (and harassing visitors), Emporio is Recovering, and later there's BASEBALL
WHERE: The Clinic, and the Beach
WHEN: Late April/Early May
WARNINGS: References to the prior Heavy Quest

[YOUR DOCTOR, UNFORTUNATELY]

For someone who supposedly doesn't care about the well-being of others, Anasui volunteers at the clinic frequently. Most people know they can find him there if they can't find him in the library and you will see him there as usual.

However, over the last few days, he seems more pissed than usual. His already poor bedside manner seemed worse, and patients and visitors alike will notice Anasui irately clicking his tongue as he comes over to deliver medicine or do regular check ups. He may even mutter 'oh great. You again.' But if his grumbling about the teleporters is anything to go by, it may not be your fault.

"Fucking hell... Asking us to find what's different with newcomers? Why don't they fucking find what's wrong with their stupid teleporters?"

Occasionally, he'll slam cupboards closed or hiss as he's forced to visit a few patients. If you're coming to visit someone, you may see Anasui glaring at you unblinkingly as you walk in.

"What do you want?"

[CLINIC BUDDIES]

It's not exactly small news that Emporio's been admitted to the clinic.

...Again.

His team was, reportedly, carried in from beyond the cliffs by way of Robin and Agnes- they were unconscious, a scene not at all unlike the last heavy quest Emporio participated in, and ultimately they were handed over to Dr. Denne and the rest on stretchers. When, precisely, all three woke up is perhaps largely irrelevant.

What matters is that eventually Emporio does wake up, and proceeds to have a heck of a crisis of identity, before settling back against his cot to just try and muddle his way through the way he does most things. He's really not changed that much, if he thinks about it hard enough. This is still basically the same shape body, even if he has to keep blinking auras out of his eyes, and also figure out how to replace the bag he'd more or less used his old helmet for.

But while Emporio adjusts to this (and also to being bloody huge compared to prior), others will probably want to visit. And...unlike Anasui, who absolutely tracked him down before the boy awoke, it might have been easy to miss the kid.

If only because, as noted, he's a lot bigger now. ...Roughly five times bigger in fact.

It appears Emporio has evolved, and that might be causing a little confusion when it comes to locating his cot in the clinic.

[OH! THAT'S A BASEBALL!]

((Collaboratively written between Pyra and Usagi - tags can and likely will come from both!))

The air in the beach is tense. It's thick, heavy, and nearly choking as two giants (well, Pokemon larger than 5ft) stare each other down. Despite the ghost-type Marowak formerly known as Emporio the Cubone being literally five times bigger than he used to be, he still looks small next to Anasui, especially when the bird straightens his neck and puffs up his feathers. Anasui is bristling, and if the dark look in his eye is any indication, he's pissed off.

Emporio holds, in his hand, a long bone club. There's no flames on it- that would involve scratching it against the almost star-shaped mark on his brow- but rather, he holds it over his shoulder, the way a baseball would be positioned.

The marowak swallows. On the one hand, Anasui told him they were going to be playing baseball.

On the other, it really didn't feel like an offer so much as a threat, and he's not sure what to do about that.

Another swallow.

"...So....where are the baseballs..?"

Emporio's question is unfortunately unanswered- even if an audience has already gathered.

Anasui doesn't say anything. One moment, he's staring down Emporio, the next, he's moving. A grey and purple blob of shadow forms in his mouth and he shoots it straight at Emporio. Emporio gasps and ducks out of the way and Anasui snarls.

"Stay still or I'll make you." It'd be nice if there was context but it seems Emporio doesn't even have that. Anasui just charges up another shadow ball and fires it again. "Emporio!"

"YOU SAID THIS WAS BASEBALL-!!" is all the Marowak shouts in turn- and, for anyone watching, one wonders if they'll have to step in for that to actually happen.

Anasui clicks his tongue irritably as his Shadow Ball is cutoff by Noelle's attack. His brow furrows and he starts clawing the ground with his talons in the same way he does when he gets antsy.

"Yes, he evolved. Happened during that stupid mess with that fucking teleporter, while he was with more stupid people," Anasui grumbles. "Apparently, he's abnormally large too so we're playing baseball to get him used to his size and shape."

#blatantlies. Some of those were aimed for Emporio's skull-adorned head. Anasui doesn't sound angry per say but he sounds pissed...

Anasui doesn't sound very happy, but she's trained with him often enough that she's starting to understand his peculiarities. Better to not upset him further. "It could be a reflection of your power," she muses, quietly.

Another test is needed. Another Energy Ball is fired-- and then joined by a second one in quick succession. That's not how baseball works, but her only experience with the sport was her sister chasing Kris around with a wiffle bat after they pranked her.

If Emporio actually gets hurt, she can heal him. It's better to prepare him. And this is kind of like the game she suggested to him all that time ago... right?

"Not bad," Anasui says, watching Noelle fire the double Energy Ball. Her training really has paid off- she definitely has a good control of her moves now.

"I said we're playing baseball. You should have expected I had an ulterior motive," Anasui says as he watches Emporio pick himself up. While any other observers may not pick it up, both Noelle and Emporio should notice Anasui does sound a little less annoyed, though that was clearly at the expense of Emporio getting hit. "After all... since do I ever play around?"

With that, Anasui shoots another blob of black, swirling energy right at Emporio again.

"Hit it back at me already! Your opponents in the wild won't show mercy so neither should you!"

Oh boy, someone has issues...

That last sentence echoes through Noelle's mind. He's right. Whereas she does notice that Anasui seems calmer, she becomes a little more anxious.

Deep breath. Exhale. "You can do it, Emporio!" she says, almost as apology, firing another Energy Ball at him.
