Do these stores sell medicine for people or what should I do when my head feels like it will explode?

[Action]

[There's one (1) Team Rocket member suffering from pain in the Rocket HQ. He seems to be having a headache almost as bad as a Psyduck has... Ren's not too happy so approaching him might not be adviced... unless, you know, you're a girl... or he knows you.

Alternatively you can also meet Ren sitting on a bench in Goldenrod City, but the same conditions should be met here. He's still not happy, since fresh air isn't helping at all.]

Head explode? No doctor?

[saxsongs]

I don't think any doctors would appreciate me if I went to an examination because of a headache... if there are any regular doctors here.

[stellar_loussier]

Why?

text;

[saxsongs]

The doctors have better things to do. Like healing broken bones or curing worse diseases...

[ She doesn't reply for some time. She is trying to understand this. ]

Sorry.

they got aspiring

its not helping

you don't think my heads actually ognin to explode do you?

[text]

[saxsongs]

With the way it feels, I wouldn't be so sure, unfortunately.

Though I guess I could say "I hope it does for me, so it stops hurting."

Re: [text]

[used_trick]

I dunno

I think your head exploding would hurt pretty adly

specialuy since they say you can;t' die here

I don't wanna be headlesss for the rest of my leife

that's where I keep my brain and stuff

[saxsongs]

Well, then it might be too bad. A life without my head would be too tragic. [Especially for his fans, even if they weren't here... at least not yet.]

How bad are your pains?

Re: [text]

[used_trick]

real tragic
we'v all have to get pumpkings to replace em and I don't think they're in season yet

[That was always more Dr Crane's type of thing, anyway.]

pretty bad

i got and icepack that's hekping a little
trying not to lose my head over it

[text]

[saxsongs]

I'd rather order a new one made of metal... much better with endurance.

I haven't tried icepacks yet... should probably try that next.

[See, Ren is not the only one at the Goldenrod Rocket base plagued by an incredibly strong headache. Gorthan is in the exact same predicament, and he rarely leaves his room - or Agnus', depending on where he's crashed for the night.

So when Gorthan meets Ren in one of the corridors, all it takes is one look for him to realize they're on the same boat.]

Ren. [He nods briefly in greeting.]

There should be a supply of relevant medicine in the labs which I am authorized to access. Shall we go get it?

[saxsongs]

[At least he's not alone in the situation, even if he'd rather take the "Not at all in the situation", but that's not possible anymore, is it.

Good thing he's managed to at least get someone he can talk to... and apparently get help from. So he'll smile slightly, even if he's not in the mood for smiles.]

I would really appreciate that, Gorthan.

[shakespearealien]

[A nod.]

Follow me.

[He will lead Ren through a few long corridors, until they reach the communal labs. A lot of weird things are going on in every corner, and it's generally best to not pay attention to them if you have a conscience. Like Gorthan does. Speaking of Gorthan, he seems to have a bit of an effect on the scientists in the room. Notably, since he came in, they've all lowered their voices, and they sometimes shift their attention away from what they're doing to eye Gorthan fearfully. The man has a bit of an authority here, that much is clear. But he doesn't seem interested in any of their surroundings, instead heading to one of the cabinets. He opens it to retrieve the medicine he had in mind.]

Here you go. I know the symptoms are bad, but don't take any more than the recommended dosage. I don't know how these chemicals could react with a regressing mutation, and while I'd like to know, I'm quite sure you would not.

[saxsongs]

[Ren's making sure that he doesn't look at anything, because he doesn't want to get involved or know what happens. Thought it's really quite amazing what kind of an influence Gorthan has around here.]

Thank you. I'm sure it would be interesting, but you're quite right that I wouldn't really like to try.

[shakespearealien]

[After handing the medicine out to Ren and closing the cabinet, Gorthan leads Ren back out of the lab in a hurry. He really doesn't want the other man to think too much about what goes on here. His pace slows considerably once they're out in the corridors again.]

How is this world welcoming you, Ren? Were you able to find an instrument like the one you had?

[He doubts that that's the case, given the recent chaos, but he will ask regardless.]

[saxsongs]

[He does appreciate the fact he can get out of the lab quickly. Too many things he doesn't want to think about. As if being in an organization like this wasn't bad enough...]

It's been fine, apart from all the chaos that's been going on. Because of that I haven't really been able to look around that much.

[While his powers were only level two, he didn't want to go around in stores and levitate objects... that would have been rather suspicious, after all.]

Once this phase goes, I'll get a better look at things.

[femininity]

Uh... are you okay?

[saxsongs]

[He'll look up as he hears a voice. He had hoped that he wouldn't bump into anyone while out, but then again, this was a Goldenrod.

Makoto might notice he hasn't really been sleeping all that well.]

I've had better days.

[femininity]

Are you sick...?

[ she thought people had gotten better from that by now, but maybe not.

he really does look out of it. ]

[saxsongs]

If you count headaches as a sickness, then yes. Otherwise I'm just weak to this kind of pain, apparently...

[Well... it's not a normal headache, Ren.]

[femininity]

Oh... well do you want some medicine? I can go to the PokeCenter and you get you some if you want.

[ that's the least she can do, right? ]

[saxsongs]

[A complete stranger was being nice to him? If only he'd feel better to show he appreciates it.]

While I do appreciate the thought, you don't have to do that. Besides, isn't the Center in this city out of commission for now? Because of the attacks.

[Or that's what he's heard.]
