[Feliks appears on the Warp Band feed all wrapped up in blankets and propped up against some pillows, his left arm in a heavy cast, bandages peeking out from underneath his nightshirt. There's still visible bruising on him even now, and several of his more protective Pokemon are curled up with him -- a Growlithe with his head in Feliks's lap, a Houndoom at his feet, a Dragonair twined around the headboard, a Pangoro looming nearby as if to ward off any further threats to his trainer...]

Alright, Union. So I've kinda been thinking, right?

[He grins, and it's clear that whatever damage that god did to him, his sass remains 100% intact.]

So as you might or might not know, my grandparents got a little stuck with just me for an heir, and like, before anyone gets worried, they're totes fine -- the house is gonna need some renovations like whoa, like the ballroom and the library are super totaled, but they're not hurt or anything!

But they're kinda not getting any younger. Stuff has been getting pretty crazy around here, and like, who knows how long they're gonna be able to keep keeping up like they have, right?

So... [He takes a deep breath, and the Dragonair leans over to nuzzle him encouragingly. He pets her little wing-ear-thing, gathers himself a moment longer, and continues:]

So, I guess what I'm saying is like... I'm stepping up as the head of our house. Let the old folks enjoy their golden years and junk. Plus, someone's gotta give the Council a kick in the butt now and then!

Okay, now on to the really important stuff, though -- who saw me Mega Evolve back there? Like, how rad was that?

I'm, like, super shocked and hurt you'd say something like that about me! Savior, while I'm bedridden, too. Way harsh, Waver.

[There is absolutely nothing resembling shock, hurt feelings, or admonishment in his voice. Nothing whatsoever.]

Look, if it was really that bad, you would have called me to do a Heal Pulse on you long before now. Knowing you, Jadwiga probably had to tie you down as it is. We both know that a little something like getting smacked by a dragon isn't enough to stop you when you really want something.

[Feliks grimaces a little.]

She keeps, like, teleporting me back here every time I try and wander off.

And it didn't so much smack me around as body slam me?

[untalented]

[Good girl, Jadwiga. He knew he could rely on you to be sensible.]

I've already got one idiot here who was nearly eaten by the thing. Turns out Gods nullify poison-immunities along with destroying cities.

[He heaved a sigh.]

I've got a couple more spells prepped if you need a house visit. Just say the word.

[niepokonany]

Aww, Waver. Are you worried?

[Yes, this is totally an appropriate time to tease your friend, Feliks. Totally.]

Video;

[untalented]

Yeah-- about you making a mess of things!

[He huffed irritably. Why did he even bother...?]

[niepokonany]

That's totally sweet, maybe you like me after all!

[Yes, he's just going to ignore the tsun completely.]

[untalented]

[Pooooooouuuuuuut.]

I don't just go out of my way to use my meager resources for anyone.

[niepokonany]

So you should like, probs use them on somebody in worse shape than me.

[Never even mind how bad the shape he's in is. He'll live, so it's fine!!]

[untalented]

If they're in worse shape than you, then they need an actual doctor-- which I'm not.

Magic doesn't make you a professional, Feliks.

[niepokonany]

Oh, come on, do I look that bad? Black and blue are totally in this season!

[...Feliks, maybe that is not a thing to joke about??]

[untalented]

...

I'm on my way. Please make sure Fai isn't at the door-- I don't want to deal with his teasing while I work.

[niepokonany]

He's gonna be around, but like, I did just get him to sleep some too, so you should be cool?

[Sigh, he's going to have to keep working on getting them to get along...]

[untalented]

Let's hope. Hypnosis doesn't work as well on other Psychics...

[He really didn't want any more headaches that day.]

Do you want me to just walk in...? or?

[niepokonany]

Yeah, it'll be unlocked. You know where it is, right?

[untalented]

...It's your grandparents' house, you said? Can you send me the address, so I can double check it? I don't think I've ever been there before.

[niepokonany]

You have too, it's where my birthday party was! The big place.

[untalented]

Oh, that place!

[He didn't claim to have any understanding of what the wealthy did in Union...]

It's still intact after all that? Impressive construction-- I'll definitely be there soon.

[niepokonany]

It took a little beating, but like, this place has been standing forever. A couple of the rooms are pretty messed up, but the one I'm staying in is fine!

[untalented]

That's good; I'm on my way, in that case.

-> Action, or did you want to handwave from there?

[niepokonany]

'Kay, see you soon!
