Song #4 - Video

[fourwayconnection]

HOW THE HELL DO YOU HAVE A COLD FOR TWO WEEKS!?!?

[And a good morning to you too, Johto and Kanto! You wanted a teenage boy yelling at the top of his lungs, right? Yeah. To be fair- he seems to be yelling at someone off screen.]

OH, THAT'S RIGHT, IT'S BECAUSE YOU NEVER SIT DOWN AND GET ANY FRIGGIN' REST! STOP CLEANING THE HOUSE, MAKA, OR I WILL COME OVER THERE AND

KICK

YOUR

ASS!

[With that, he turns back to the Pokegear and starts speaking in a normal person indoor voice.]

So that's the situation. My friend over here has some sort of complex, I don't even know- I'm almost positive she didn't calm down when the hurricane was in full effect, so now she's sick but not listening to Doctor Rung's orders of "knock that shit off". How the hell is the nerd of our group of friends just as stupid as the actual stupid guys?

Anyone have any advice for how to make her lay down already that doesn't involve me roundhouse kicking her in the head and into unconsciousness? Alternatively- if anyone is in Olivine, I swear I will literally pay you to come over here and help me confiscate her Pokemon, force her into bed, and tie her down.

Seriously, this is getting ridiculous.

No, a roundhouse kick works wonders, if they're being idiotically stubborn.

[fourwayconnection]

If no one else comes up with a better idea, it's what I'm doing. I just have to make sure her Pokemon don't get in the way, especially her freakin' fox.

[killer_sweets]

That will be fun, you either give her a good kick of common sense or you get flames to the face.

If you want another option get her pokemon to tie her to the bed. That cuts out the extra hassle.

Video

[fourwayconnection]

Well, I've been burned by worse, so, whatever.

...Actually, Killua, you have a Zoroark, right?

Video

[a_sin_for_him]

Why won't she take care of herself? I've never been ill, but simple logic would lend the conclusion that rest and medicine for a short time outweighs illness for a length of time.

Is illness common, here?

Video

[fourwayconnection]

Because she's an idiot.

[Perfect answer, right?]

I haven't been here that long, but I figure it's probably just as common as anything else, right? Like with the minor stuff. I mean, your body has to be able to tell you when you've messed up and that's basically what's happening when you're sick.

Video

[a_sin_for_him]

Then I recommend a sedative slipped into her food or drink.

[Drugs are so much more subtle than simply knocking someone out with violence.]

But germs are needed to cause the illness, aren't they? Viral strains and all of that. Are there many?

I've never dealt with the frailties of a human body before.

Video

[fourwayconnection]

...Good point. Wish I was smart enough to know what sedatives are and if you can even get them.

[Anywaaaay...]

Sometimes they are, but other times you've just overworked your body. That's why Maka has a cold- she was out in the rain and running around everywhere without really resting as much as she was supposed to. So boom, cold.

I don't think there are too many viruses here... But then again, who knows what's up with Pokemon, right?

[video]

[captainash]

...Have you considered duct tape and a Snorlax? To block her in, I mean, not to sit on her.

[video]

[fourwayconnection]

Where do I get a Snorlax? That's the question.

[video]

[captainash]

Either you raise a Munchlax for a few weeks to prepare for the next cold she gets, or you try to bait one with enough food to sustain a small village.

[A beat.]

...I'm not even sure there's wild ones out there, actually.

[video]

[fourwayconnection]

Seriously? That'll take way too long. No offense, but I'm looking for something a bit more in the now.

[sort of action/sort of voice]

[soundmind]

You know I'm hearing and seeing everything you're doing on that broadcast, right?

[She says as she's working at a sewing machine to re-hem a curtain.]

I'll have Kali bite you if you come near me.

[And said Houndoom is curled at her feet, giving Kirikou the Evil Eye.]

[sort of "well fuck"]

[fourwayconnection]

[hashtag fuck his life]

...Seriously, what is with you and this aversion to resting up?

[sort of "you're screwed bro"]

[soundmind]

Because I have things I still need to do, and it's not like a cold will kill me. I can't wuss out because of that.

...Besides, the reason I went out in the storm was to help somebody that collapsed. It was worth it.

[sort of "WHY ARE YOU A PAIN"]

[fourwayconnection]

You realize they're all things the REST of us could do, right?

[text]

[codeforhope]

[Chihiro's....okay, he's literally too scared to try to respond to this with a video, but 1) Maka is his friend and 2) Kirikou you're scaring him a little and he's a bit worried for his friend's well-being. So. ..Um.

Have a text.]

I don't think violence is the answer...

[Pls don't hurt Maka.]

[text]

[fourwayconnection]

Well she won't listen to common sense.

[text]

[codeforhope]

I...I would think that she would know how to take care of herself though...right?

[ video ]

[imthe_shit]

[ Someone offscreen or not, wow. Snake is just wincing... and quickly adjusts the volume for the duration of the yelling. Once it looks like the kid is talking in a normal voice, he rolls the volume up a bit more. ]

I've got some advice.

Let's start with no screaming while your Pokegear is on.

[ video ]

[fourwayconnection]

Oops. Sorry.

[ video ]

[imthe_shit]

Good.

[ He rubs his temples. ] Now then... Have you tried tying her to her bed so she doesn't escape?

video

[bookslap]

{...well, it's a sentiment she's familiar with, if not with that level of volume.}

If she won't listen to reason, wait until she wears herself into the ground, and then cuff her to the bed. {Shrugging.} Or you could dose her up with cold medications - I've heard some of those have tranquilising properties.

video

[fourwayconnection]

The only problem is getting past all her Pokemon, but once that's done with, it's probably smooth sailing from there...

Think a Jenny would let me borrow her cuffs?

{ :|a }

Do you not have a leather belt handy? That could work in a pinch.
