Chapter 50; Text; Backdated to 11/28 morning

I have two questions for you.
Does anyone else have...strange, vivid recollections of things that happened over the weekend, but no physical proof when there should be?
Such as, say, someone very important to you that you hadn't seen in years, giving you something very important to them to keep close and then...waking up with both them and this item missing?

My second question.
How do you distract yourself when your usual methods are not working and you really, really wish they would?
I thought knitting would do the trick as usual, but though I've finished many of my projects, it's far too mindless.
Definitely not doing the job.

It reminds me of home.
Okay.
I'll see you in a bit.

[[A bit being like. Ten minutes.]]

i'll be here.

[Just...waiting. Laying on the bed and playing with Michael J and Chandel. He hasn't even bothered to change out of his pajamas yet.]
tentacletrainer: (You're too kind.)

ACTION

[personal profile] tentacletrainer 2012-12-01 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
[[Eventually she arrives, slipping silently into the hotel room, taking off her coat and shoes and placing her knitting bag by the door. And then she heads to the bedroom and just kind of. Stands in the door for now.
Just kind of watching John and his Pokemon. Because it's a pleasant sight and serves as a good stall.]]

You three are so cute.

ghostytrainer: (you're not so bad yourself.)

ACTION forever and ever

[personal profile] ghostytrainer 2012-12-01 08:04 am (UTC)(link)
[John rolls over a little to look at Rose, flashing a very subdued smile.]

Not as cute as you. Heh..took you long enough. Did you forget where we were staying?
tentacletrainer: (You really don't know what you're saying)

[personal profile] tentacletrainer 2012-12-01 08:05 am (UTC)(link)
Please. Cute is hardly the word to describe me. And no, I just...decided to take a more scenic route here.
ghostytrainer: (NOPE.)

[personal profile] ghostytrainer 2012-12-01 08:12 am (UTC)(link)
Don't even think about starting that argument. Because that is one that I will always win, Rose.

[Your boyfriend thinks you're adorable, Rose. Deal with it.]

[Sitting up against the pillows and pulling Michael J into his lap, he pats the mattress next to him. Come, Rose. Sit.]
tentacletrainer: (If I have you here I am invincible.)

[personal profile] tentacletrainer 2012-12-01 08:18 am (UTC)(link)
[[She rolls her eyes in good nature, but argues not. Instead, she moves to join him, giving Michael J a pet as well as tickling Chandel a little.]]
ghostytrainer: (let's go hero mode!)

[personal profile] ghostytrainer 2012-12-01 08:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Chandel immediately moves to sit on Rose's shoulder, rubbing up against her face a little. Welcome back, mama, let her love on you! John, meanwhile, scoots close enough to Rose for their hips to bump and takes her hand in his own.]

So talk to me.
tentacletrainer: (It's a test of endurance.)

[personal profile] tentacletrainer 2012-12-01 08:27 am (UTC)(link)
[[Rose reaches up to gently pet at Chandel, more than happy to accept the love. And then she laces her fingers with John's and thinks about what to say for a moment.]]

I wish Johto would leave well enough alone.
ghostytrainer: (relaxing in the shade.)

[personal profile] ghostytrainer 2012-12-01 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
I'm afraid you are going to have to be a bit more specific than that, Miss Lalonde. Remember, I can't help you if you aren't willing to talk!

[He gives her hand a little squeeze.]
tentacletrainer: (It was an utter failure.)

[personal profile] tentacletrainer 2012-12-01 08:37 am (UTC)(link)
Why did it have to bring her here and then take her away again? Why couldn't it have just...left her alone?

[[She's trying very, very hard to keep her voice steady, but it's getting harder as she talks.]]

It's not fair. I'm sick of this. I'm so sick of it.
ghostytrainer: (silence can be pretty loud can't it?)

[personal profile] ghostytrainer 2012-12-01 08:43 am (UTC)(link)
[John is silent for a moment, rubbing over her knuckles with his thumb.]

I wish I knew. I really do. But the best answer I have is "why does Johto do any of the bullshit stuff that it does?" Which I am fairly sure does not help anything.
tentacletrainer: (Please forgive me.)

[personal profile] tentacletrainer 2012-12-01 08:46 am (UTC)(link)
I just. I just wish it would stop. I just wish all of this back and forth with our friends and family and loved ones would stop. That they would fucking remember shit for once upon returning. That we don't have to rebuild relationship levels we had before from ground zero again.

[[Don't mind her turning to bury her face in your shoulder. She's not crying, but she just. Wants to hide a little. Also hopefully he can still feel his fingers, because her grip is starting to really tighten.]]

I want everyone to stay. I want my mom.
ghostytrainer: (wait. don't go.)

[personal profile] ghostytrainer 2012-12-01 08:52 am (UTC)(link)
[John sighs, tilting his head to rest it on top of Rose's.]

Trust me, Rose, you're not the only one. But that's just how things are here. There's not really anything that anybody can do about it. We just have to enjoy what we can get, you know?
tentacletrainer: (Why are you up in my grill yo?)

[personal profile] tentacletrainer 2012-12-01 08:56 am (UTC)(link)
But it's so hard to. It's so hard to put on that stupid brave face and just...deal with it. I don't want to deal with it anymore, but it's not like my other option is any better! There I just go home to where mom is dead and never coming back and we're being chased by some impossible demon with little idea of how to defeat him and everyone is dying.
ghostytrainer: (some memories are better forgotten.)

[personal profile] ghostytrainer 2012-12-01 09:00 am (UTC)(link)
[John's silent for a moment, just staring at their hands. Oh hey...she's squeezing kind of tight, isn't she. Yes, he does seem to be losing feeling in his fingers. Oh nnooooooo. When he finally speaks again, it's in a quiet whisper.]

Please don't say it like that's actually an option. Because it's not. You can't leave me.
tentacletrainer: (It's over. There's no hope.)

[personal profile] tentacletrainer 2012-12-01 09:04 am (UTC)(link)
[[And now it's her turn to fall silent. As much as she's sure that wasn't meant to call her an ass, she kind of feels like an ass.]]

It's not an option. I wouldn't leave you, John. I promise.
ghostytrainer: (silence can be pretty loud can't it?)

[personal profile] ghostytrainer 2012-12-02 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
[He knows that, ultimately, she doesn't have any say in the matter. And that equally as ultimately, it will always be an option on the table. But he hates thinking about that. About how one day, she could very well be taken back home and there's nothing John would be able to do about it.]

[But if he doesn't think about it...]

And I promise the same for you so... it'll be okay. Not right this second or anything but eventually. Eventually it will all be okay again, Rose. You'll see.
tentacletrainer: (You'd be surprised what light can do.)

[personal profile] tentacletrainer 2012-12-02 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
...yeah.

As long as we have each other, things will be okay I think.

[[At this point Rose curls up a little more beside him, instead of just holding his hand she moves to wrap her arms around his and resting her head on his shoulder.]]
ghostytrainer: (those are smiles! observe. :D)

[personal profile] ghostytrainer 2012-12-02 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmmhmm.

[He snuggles closwer to her as well, pressing a kiss to her temple.]

So what did she have to say?
tentacletrainer: (And then Frigglish said to the frog-)

[personal profile] tentacletrainer 2012-12-15 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
She objects us marrying if she is not here to witness it. And make sure I have a proper dress for the occasion.
ghostytrainer: (smile for the camera!)

[personal profile] ghostytrainer 2012-12-17 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[His heart almost stopped there for a second after "objects us marrying". Rose, you passed up a perfect opportunity there.]

Oh, okay. Well I guess that is a fair demand on her part. If it were my daughter, I would want to be there for something like her wedding day. Though I don't know what this bit about a "proper" dress is. Pretty sure you will look amazing in whatever you put on.
tentacletrainer: (That's very kind of you to say.)

[personal profile] tentacletrainer 2012-12-21 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Well, she called it a "totes hot dress". If that tells you anything.
ghostytrainer: (that was a pretty funny joke!)

[personal profile] ghostytrainer 2012-12-22 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[He just laughs at that. Really? Totes hot? How old is your mom, Rose?]
