Feather 4 [Video/Action for Violet City]

[usedfeatherdance]

[ The feed turns on to find Joshua outside the Violet City Gym, holding a Zephyr badge with an Eevee perched on his shoulder, a newly-evolved Gardevoir dancing and singing softly behind him. ]

So, these badges. Is there actually a point to them besides collecting them? I'm sure they make lovely conversation pieces, but I'm looking for a bit more than that.

And an unrelated question. Are comas a common occurrence around here? Humor my curiosity.

[ The woman at the Pokemon Center had seemed remarkably unperturbed that he'd been asleep for over a month. ]

Weeks, hmm? Compared to the world I come from, that does seem significant enough to be common. At least considering the population.

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

Yeah. And I'd usually be all for sleeping for weeks on end, but even I've gotta say, it happens too often to not be kinda worrisome.

[Video]

[usedfeatherdance]

Any idea what causes it?

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

No idea. I mean, it tends to happen when people go home for a week, but there isn't really any pattern to why that happens, either.

People go home for a week? [ Hold the phone. What is this? ]

Re: [Video]

[tearsofademon]

Sometimes. Ahh, it's complicated...

[Video]

[usedfeatherdance]

I have time.

Well, people end up in a coma for about a week, and they're still physically here in Johto, but they go back home for a while. Doesn't have to be a week there - I know when it happened to me, it was a few months. But then they wake up back here and only a week has passed.

[usedfeatherdance]

... And it's not a simple dream or hallucination?

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

Nope. I know it happened.

[Or at least, that mark is still there.]

[Video]

[usedfeatherdance]

Hmm...

What about comas that are longer than a single week?

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

Longer than a week, really? You don't hear about those often...

[Video]

[usedfeatherdance]

Call it curiosity.

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

I don't really know much about those, except that they only happen rarely.

[Video]

[usedfeatherdance]

Rarely, but they do happen. I see. That's useful to know. [ At least he's not the only one. ]

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

Any particular reason you're asking?

[Video]

[usedfeatherdance]

Inquiring minds, of course. [ He giggles. ]

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

Of course.

[Video]

[usedfeatherdance]

Well, it wouldn't do to violate the privacy of those involved by discussing them, now would it?

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

I guess it wouldn't. Guess you could say I was just curious too.

Details can be fickle things, hee hee.
