[Post 028] Video/Action for Goldenrod City (Backdated to 5/31)

[francia]

[In the aftermath of the past weekend, France has apparently decided he needs to spend quality time with his pokemon. The video comes on to a good lot of them huddled on France's bed, bunched up around him as he starts the video. How he came to this conclusion is a mystery in and of itself. Well, let's hear about the reasoning from the horse's mouth -]

HACKHACKcoughcoughHACK

[Or not. It appears that, due to spending 3 full days running around exposed to the elements by means of being stark naked, has taken a toll on this Nation-once-more-turned-human. The fit tapers off and he clears his throat.]

How do you treat a cold with cough, fever, and congestion here?

[He pauses for a long time before continuing in a very quiet voice.]

And can someone explain to me why I woke up naked in the next to the Radio Tower with no memory of the past three days?

[France gives Romano opens his mouth before dissolving into a rather violent coughing fit. He sets aside the root and the candy to cover his mouth, sitting back down on the bed to ride it out. Breathing slightly unsteadily after the coughing subsides, France gives up, flopping back to lie on the bed with his legs dangling off the side.]

Large back pocket. Moltar and pestle.

[He scrambles to find the mortar and pestle, glad to be allowed exactly what he wanted. After finding the items, he quickly grabs the root and the candy and tosses them into the mortar.

After a few failed attempts, most of which had the root and candy flying out of the mortar rather than staying in, Romano eventually found the rhythm and managed to break the candy into chunks. The root, however, managed to maintain a significant number of bruises and not much else.]

Stupid root... come on, become powder already!

[France turns to watch Romano at it. If there's anything he can admire about the boy, it's his tenacity. It is stubbornness, to some extent, but Nations rarely got anywhere without some measure of that.]

Try chopping a bit of the root off and grinding that. I doubt I need the entire root at once, anyhow.

[Romano gives France a dirty look. He was trying to prove that he could handle pounding a root on his own, not take advice from his sick patients.]

Who's the one making the medicine, damn it? But since this much medicine might be bad for you I'll do just that.

[With a little difficulty, and using just the pestle, Romano manages to chop off a chunk of root. It sits in the mortar in two nearly equal parts. Romano picks up the bigger looking piece, sets it to the side, and attempts to pummel the remaining portion.]

[France is Big Brother: he will never stop giving advice. He shrugs one shoulder, smiling a little.]

It's only a suggestion that might make your job a bit easier.

[He is secretly pleased and grateful that Romano takes the advice. France doesn't fancy having to eat anymore of that bitter thing than he has to.]
