About two hours later the blizzard finally hit the city and pretty much snowed me in, making my little prediction come true. There are times where I hate being right...this being one of them. I thought disdainfully as I still sat in front of the computer, Elora was asleep on my lap, while Keldra and Nesia still looked at the screen with a note of interest as I looked at the videos of this world's version of youtube, since my friend group left the call, though not after giving me a good luck and Ryan bombarding me with information. Hmmm, shall we watch Jack first or Mark? I thought trying to pick after pausing my music a little bit ago. Hmm......Jack. I thought before adjusting the volume, so there isn't just a blast of sound. "Dude, when your pokemon start using things like computers or your...phoneish thing. I'm going to start calling them Techamon!" Psycho said with a laugh at the thought.
Oh my god. I mentally sighed with a chuckle as the youtuber or should say 'poketuber' began his intro starting off with making two high five motions with the sound effects. "Top of the morning everyone! Jacksepticeye here!" Jack said loudly with enthusiasm. Which thus began the now to be hours of entertainment, with this first video, Me and Nesia would chuckle from time to time from the youtubers antics, with Keldra making a quiet giggle from time to time as we watched on.
After another hour or so, dinner was served courtesy of the center, which thankfully I didn't have to pay. After that I went up to the front desk to talk to Nurse Joy. "Um...I know I should've asked this earlier, but...may I have a room for a few nights?" I asked politely, which she presented me with an understanding smile. "Of course. Just give me a moment." She said, and went about getting the key for the room. "Here you go sir. Up the stairs and second room on the right." She said placing the key in front of me.
"Thanks." I replied then took the key and placed it in my coat pocket, then I looked at my two of three pokemon standing either side of me. "Alrighty, let's see how there rooms are like." I said then began walking to the guest rooms as Elora and Keldra behind after I picked up my pack and logging out of my profile on the computer.
Second on the right, second on the right... I mentally repeated a few times as I went to and up the stairs, but stopped after about ten steps up to look back down them to see Keldra struggling with the steps, then I went back down to her. "Let me help ya a sec." I said as I got to her, she looked up at me, with a minor look of shame not being able to get up the stairs easily, I then picked her up somewhat cradling her. I then noticed the look she was making. "There be not a need for shame in a thing like this. Trust me, I'd be having trouble if I was as small as ya. And I'm not trying to make insult to ya size, just wanting to help with this wee obstacle here." I said getting into my Scottish accent to a degree as I went up the steps by twos looking at her with a small understanding smile, reaching the top with Elora standing at the top of the stairs waiting on me.
I then placed Keldra down on the top step of the stairs, then we went about going to the room assigned, could of swore I saw Keldra blush after I placed her at the top of the steps. There. I thought as I eyed the door, then went up and opened it turning on the light in the process. The interior surprised me a bit as me and my other two pokemon came into the room then I closed the door. All of us looked at the room rather amazed to varying degrees. God. This room is four of my old rooms combined. I thought noting the size of the welcoming room.
"This room looks so nice!" Elora said with ebullience.
"Snivy sniv." Nesia said noting how soft the bed looks.
"It does look pretty comfortable." I added as Keldra agreed. Then I looked about the room then noticed a computer desk. "Hello..." I said somewhat quietly as I went up to look at the computer. It was like the ones in the lounge. Sweet, I'll have my entertainment for the next few days here then. I thought then looked to the left to see a large tv stand from what I guessed. "Is that?" Psycho questioned as I went to the stand, then opened the doors on it. It revealed a fifty inch flat screen tv. "Oh, holy shit." I said rather flatly though surprised. "Snivy?" Nesia asked wanting to know what this was.
"This my little friend is a tv, this could be two types, either cable or satellite. Though given to the area we're in more on the thought of cable." I explained, which she was a little more confused.
"Snivy..." Nesia said lost on what I said.
"...Actually I don't know how to really explain the two myself." I said admitting my lack of knowledge of the two. Well satellite better...
"Sniv."
"Eh, could look it up later if you like." I offered.
"Sni." Nesia said she was good on not knowing for now.
"Alright."
I said then looked upon the bed, then walked my way to it, which then I took my pack off and placed by the bed. Then after a moment I sat on the bed taking my hat off as well. "Alright Nesi, time to get off for a bit." I said in a somewhat tired tone, as I picked her up off my shoulders, though not with out a small protest as I set her beside me on the bed. After than I leaned back onto the bed. "Oh my god...it feels like my bed." I stated quietly with a relieving sigh. "Except with more even sized memory foam..." Psycho sighed with content.
"Already loving the beds here." Vlad noted with enthusiasm lining his voice.
"Snivy snii..." Nesia sighed, loving the softness of the bed as well. Elora then jumped up the bed, though when she landed on the bed, she comically plopped down on the bed, as if she just lost her footing. With which she herself sighed happily.
"Ral ralts?" Keldra asked wanting to be helped up. I lifted my head then was going to move to help her up but before I was about to do so, I saw two vines move from my right and over the edge of the bed and lifted the little Ralts up and onto the bed, Keldra took a few steps forwards before turning around and fell backwards on the bed, with a smile on her face. I lied my head back down with a soft smile and closed my eyes. Oh my god this bed is fuuucking awwweesoome. I thought chuckling with the last word.
"Agreed." Psycho and Vlad said in pleasant unison.
I laid there for several minutes purely enjoying the incredible softness. You know...I do think I need a shower after that hellacious walking. I thought.
"That my friend sounds like a good idea, ease the muscles in the legs." Vlad said in agreement to the idea.
Though...I don't want to get off the bed... I said, actually somewhat dreading the thought of moving off this wonderful bed.
I thought about it for a few more moments then lifted my head to look at the door to the bathroom. Fuck it. I thought finally, then after another moment sat up. "I'll be back." I said which fell on somewhat deaf ears as my pokemon enjoyed the bed to much to really give an answer.
I got up and went to the bathroom, after I went in and shut the door, I pulled out the poke gear and pulled my music and started off with the song Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger by Daft Punk.
I then began walking to the sink, then glanced up at the mirror and did a double take. "Jesus!" I said jumping a bit and stared at my reflection in absolute surprise and shock with bulging eyes.
My acnes is gone! I thought surprised and actually rather happy of my new found good complexion. Then I noted something else. I turned to the side and pulled my coat back and found I was skinnier.
I blinked a few times still not believing this. "Holy shit..." I said under my breath as I stared amazed. "...How...?" I said quietly. Then I looked at my teeth, any cavities I had...were gone and my teeth whitened as well. "Holy sweet mother of fuck..." I breathed out.
"Jus-...just-just, how?" I questioned looking at the reflection.
"This...this is an interesting prospect." Vlad said rather surprised.
"...Very..." I said still rather shocked. Then took my coat off then my shirt. "Well holy hell." I said pleasantly surprised. "I'm actually somewhat buffed." I said seeing definite muscle growth on my upper body. "I kind of thought that man fur of yours was going to be gone. Even though it's less then before now." Psycho noted joking while somewhat surprised.
"That thought crossed my mind too. Plus, I should have greasy looking hair by now, but...it looks like it would in the morning somehow..." I added taking note of my still rather to say pristine hair.
Okay...body's been altered. Why?
"Das ist good question..."

"Very good question..."
Men...we have entered...the Twilight Zone... I thought doing a old commander's voice as the theme song plays through my mind while Psycho sang along the tune.
I took a breath and heaved a long sigh. "Fuck me running to hell and back again...shits just going to get weirder. Though. I'm not complaining about...this happening." I said looking at myself for a few more moments then went about what I was going to do, as I waited for the water to heat up, I brought my music back up and started off with Fallen Angel by Three Days Grace. With which I sang with the song after turning it up a few notches. After I was done, being about nearly thirty minutes later, a bit longer then my usual, I realized I forgot my sleep clothes after I dried off. "Shit." I said quietly a little irritated at my forgetfulness. I redressed back in my other clothes minus the shoes, socks, hat and coat and my other accessories.
I walked out the bathroom several steps until Nesia looked over to me and began to giggle. I then raised a questioning brow at why. Then I thought a moment and touched my hair, afterwards realization popped up for me. My hair was practically a puff ball.
Elora and Keldra then looked over and began laughing. I then looked at them as Nesia began to laugh harder. "Really now?" I said in a rather humorous tone as a smile began to grow. They all were laughing now, Nesia laughing the hardest, which I interpreted in her saying 'Oh entirely!'. I lightly shook my head doing a silent chuckle of my own, then went to my pack to hopefully get my sleep attire. Alright, now where are you, you sneaky little fuckers. I thought as I went through the large cavities of my 'ruck sack'.
It took me a few minutes as my pokémons laughter died down to giggles, after another moment I pulled out a brush. "Oh hi! I'll need you in a bit." I said and placed it beside me and continued to search, which didn't take long after I found my brush. Another minute later I felt a familiar silky material and grabbed it and pulled it out. There's the black stretchy shorts. Now for the long sleeve. I thought as I placed the shorts beside me and dove my hand back in finding the similar feeling material and retrieved it. It was a silk like shirt, I couldn't remember what it's made of but it was smooth and rather soft. The shirt sported a forest of pines on the lower portion and the sky on the upper portion with a bald eagle flying through the air near the middle of the shirt.
I picked up the three items and went back to the bathroom, and changed to the sleep clothing and fixed my hair. Afterwards I retrived everything from the bathroom, placing my coat on the chair with my hat and my pants folded up in the seat itself and my shoes placed beside the desk. After that I went to the nightstand by the bed and placed my rings, wristband and watch. I looked at the time on the watch. 10:37 pm it read, I actually felt somewhat tired now knowing it was in a good portion into the night. I then looked at the bed again and noticed that Elora is trying to fight off her tiredness. She then looked at me and noticed the creature on my shirt.
"Master Will? What Pokémon is that?" She asked very curious never seeing anything like it.
I was confused for a split second before I figured what she was talking about.
"This isn't a Pokémon, this is a animal in my world called an eagle...a bald eagle to be exact." I explained, Nesia then looked curious over curious now.
"Sooo...yeeaaahhhh...further proof I'm not from here." I noted.
"Snivy sniv snivy?" Nesia asked wondering about the first part of it's name.
"I never knew why it was called a bald eagle. I think it's because of the white feathers on it's head. Which I believe the other species usually has brown feathers on it's head like the rest of it's body." I explained.
"That's weird." Elora commented.
"Ooooh trust me, there's a hell of a lot weirder." I said with a chuckle. "Like the hagfish. Ugly bugger." I noted. Both Nesia and Elora were confused now. "I could pull up of an image of one if you two like." I offered. They looked at eachother as if uncertain, then looked back at me.
"Um...sure?" Elora said, uncertainty in her voice. Oh this is going to be interesting...heheheh. I thought somewhat evilly, I went about getting my pokégear and did a quick search. This'll do. I walked up to the two and showed the image, Elora visibly reeled back from the image contrary to Nesia as she just made a somewhat disgusted look at the image. "Oh my Arceus that's ugly!" Elora said.
"And the best part. It's not even the ugliest. Hell I should show you the angler fish!" I noted enjoying this.
"Snivy sni." Nesia asked politely not wanting more to be shown.
"Oh fine, heheh." I said with a smile. I then looked at Keldra noticing that she was passed out. "That's one midglet out." Psycho said somewhat amused.
Then a shits and giggles idea popped up in my mind as I looked at the tv briefly. "Hm...I vonder." I thought aloud then went to the large tv and turned it to it's side.
"Master Will? ...What are you doing?" Elora asked confused at what i'm doing.
"I'm checking something." I said deciding to be a little cryptic.
"Sniii-vy..." Nesia said not very satisfied with my answer.
Does it have hdmi...hmm... I thought as I looked at the various plug ins and ports on the back on the tv, though my curiosity was rewarded as I smiled as I found the familiar port.
Now...do I have an hdmi cable in my pack.
"I don't see why not. For gods sake you found your sleep clothes in it, I think you'll find that cord." Vlad commented in a note of confidence as I left the tv and then went to the computer next checking for the same port. My smile grew from there. "Heheh, sweeet." I said happy with my findings. After that I went to my pack and began to dig into it, trying to find the cord. "Vhere oh vhere art thou." I said as I searched, as Elora and Nesia watched confused. I raised my brow with my own as I felt something familiar, then I retrieved the item from the pack. Then raised both brows in pleasent surprise. "Awesome, wireless keyboard. Very helpful." I noted then placed it beside then later found a wireless mouse surprisingly. Elora was looking at the mouse while Nesia looked the keyboard curiously.
After another minute of sifting I felt a cord. Afterwards, I pulled out said cord. Then grinned at the final item I need. "Hahahaha! Yes!" I said triumphantly.
"Snivy sniv?" Nesia asked wanting to know what the cord was used for.
"This is used to hook up something like that computer-" I said gesturing to the computer. "and that tv over here. It provided a better picture between the two, making a crisper image and transferring the screen of the pc to the screen of the tv. That way, I could use the tv as a computer screen and the computer as the second screen or the other way around. Had this kind of thing going at my house in my room." I said a large note of excitement to the process.
"You lost me part way through." Elora said rather confused from my explanation.
"Essentially I have two computer screens to use, using this cord to connect them." I said holding up the cord. "Speaking of, I'm going to do such." I said then got up and went about connecting the cord to the tv. Please be long enough... I mentally hoped as I went to the computer several feet away. Thankfully the cord was long enough to connect to the two.
I chuckled happily to the moment as I connect the computer and turned it on, then went to the tv turning it on. I looked all over the tv till I found the row of buttons and began to fiddle with the input button. "Aaaand...vuola!" I said joyfully, as the computer's screen appeared on the tv's. Nesia and Elora looked at the screen actually amazed.
"Oh the joys of being a gamer." I said pleased with my work. "Now for the mouse and keyboard." I stated then went about pulging there wireless transceivers and then went to turn the lamp on that's on the nightstand and went to the main light and turned that off so the light from the lamp did all the lighting. Which it did a good job at lighting up the room with a softer though not as bright light, after that I went back to the bed and promptly sat, with a grin placing the mouse at my right side since being right handed, and the keyboard on my lap.
I noticed both Elora and Nesia came up and laid on either side of me, Nesia on my right and Elora on my left. I didn't think much of it and went about getting pandora ready for the night and went to youtube again on a different tab. "Alright, you two get to pick the first vid." I stated feeling nice, they looked at me a little surprised, then looked at the screen and tried to pick something that looked interesting.
So after that, the next two hours were filled up with watching some rather interesting videos. Though after one more video, I felt like it was time to sleep, since looking at the bottom right corner and noticing how late it was. Bloody hell. I thought yawning. 12:28...feels like four a.m.
"Sleeeeeeeep..." Psycho tiredly groaned.
Agreed... I thought tiredly, then looked to either side of me to see Nesia and Elora struggling to stay awake with me.
Not the only one then. Fuck it, I'm calling it. I thought ready to sleep. But first. I thought again then pulled my pack in front of me and searched for something to drink through the night. I was a minute or two before I found something, then I pulled out whatever it was. Oh sweet. Grape propel. I thought pleased and took a drink. Damn it's been a while.
"Well I'm ready to sleep..." I said in a rather quiet and tired voice.
"Same..."
"Sni..."
(song)
I went to my pandora tab and put on the tim janis station and turned off the screen and placed the keyboard and mouse on top of my pack. I then stood up and looked at the head of the bed and noticed the number of pillows, about six maybe seven. Oh cool, I'll have a leg pillow or two. I thought with a small smile. I then then looked down to my two pokemon that were beside me, they presented me with tired confused looks as if wondering why I got up.
I then went to the left side of the bed, which being the right from my perspective and proceeded to crawl into bed. I adjusted a few of the pillows to my left making them parallel to me, then I leaned over to the sleeping Ralts and gently picked her up and placed her on a pillow on my right, then leaned over and turned off the lamp taking my glasses off in the process, then getting some of the sheet up to Keldra so she wouldn't get cold.
The computer monitor still splashed a blue and white lights to the wall and ceiling acting as a temporary nightlight of sorts. Then as I laid belly down, with my left arm under the pillow I'm using for my head, then my right arm over the pillow I moved to make horizontal of me, after a moment I felt Nesia crawl from her spot and tried to worm her way under my arm. Which I lifted it a few inches so she could get next to me then placed back down when she was comfortable.
Then Elora came up and crawled under the blanket and made herself comfortable with her head on my right arm. You know. I don't mind this. I thought as I closed my eyes as the other two began to sleep. Kind of......nice. I thought struggling to come up with the appropriate word for this. After thinking that, I tried sleeping, which took a while. Even with the softness of the bed, and the actually calming and reassuring feel of my pokemon being here with me. A few dark thoughts came through my mind as my imagination went about bad things to potentially happen. But eventually I went into the realm of voided dreamlessness of my mind.
