genessia | Sonico Searching [video and action]

[video]
*For the first time in a long time, Sonico finally appears on screen. The bruising on her cheeks has mostly gone, and the cut on the lip is now only a small red line. She bows deeply on the screen and appears very serious in her approach*

I would like to say thank you, very much, deeply, from the bottom of my heart, towards those of you who cared for me and supported me while I was unwell. I am on the mend, and I appreciate all of your good thoughts.

I may still not be able to return to my usual work for some time...thanks to my injuries...but I would like to extend an open invitation for those who would like singing lessons. Please be in touch.

[action - grass areas of Genessia and Nova City]
Finally, Sonico feels able to leave her apartment. She is dressed differently from usual, however, in a long sleeved cardigan and a skirt that reaches down to her ankles - the best way to hide all her scars. She appears to be slinking through the parks and wooded areas of town, apparently on a Pokemon hunt, her own in tow.

*The voice broadcasting is a shaky and timid whisper, clearly a girl in distress*

Is anyone...awake? I could use someone to talk to...

Same

[ And he says it anyway, even if she already figures it out. Sleeping is one of his favorite things.]

I don't know. Recovery will take a long time.

[ He means this for both of them.]

*Sonico swallows, and it's the only sound she makes as she does her best not to cry. At least he can't see that right now. Still, he might guess*

...my usual tricks aren't working to get me to sleep. In the day...it's all I want to do. At night...I just can't.

[ He was crying before hearing Sonico's message.]

I can't stay asleep. It's draining. Can you sleep during the day?

[ He guesses not, but he's used to taking frequent naps.]

No. I feel...sleepy all the time. But I just can't seem to sleep.

*She makes a small noise as she tries to make light of the situation as best she can*

It's strange...I normally love to sleep. A lot.

Napping is one of my favorite hobbies.

Last time I had trouble sleeping, my boyfriend was still around.

[ This wasn't the first thing that traumatized him in Genessia. It was the worst.]

Me too. And napping is usually just so easy...

Oh. I'm sorry. Is it nice to sleep beside someone else? Is it easier?

It made me feel safe.

*That sounds lovely, and something that Sonico can't even imagine. But Mayu?*

You should hold onto that memory, of how safe you felt. Try to remember...

Has anything made you feel safe?

Safe? I don't know... My friends. When I am with friends I feel safer and more sure.

You could hold onto to your memories with friends.

We should hang out more.

Yes. Memories with friends is important.

*At least Sonico sounds a little happier when she speaks again*

I would really like that.

We could watch terrible movies and eat unhealthy snacks, or play more otome games.

What are some good times for you?

That all sounds really lovely.

I'm free really any time for the next few days. Work have been good and have let me take some time off.

Wednesdays are best for me, and between 10am and 3pm. I'm the boss, so I could close the gym if I needed to.

I'm trying to get back to a normal work schedule, though.

My brother took a lot of time off when he was...unwell. The people at the diner seemed understanding.

[ Mayu's older brother used to work at the Sky High Diner.]

Oh - that time would suit me fine. My schedule is just so...empty these days.

*And it definitely wasn't something she was used to at all*

Of course. They are very kind.

[ He's starting to sound less upset. Hanging out and relaxing with a friend is something he needs.]

I'll see you soon. Feel free to visit Sand Gym. I'll cover for you.

Of course! I look forward to it.

[[ooc: did you wanna move to action or start a new thread?]]

Okay

(ooc: Handwave this as a regular/semi-regular hangout? The new thread has started)

[[ooc: Yup! See ya there!]]
