Video Post
[At first the screen shows a blur of orange and a bit of floor. Then it turns, shakily, to show Jimmy not looking so good. Face drawn, eyes bloodshot and ringed in hollows, he looks a lot like death warmed over lying curled up on the floor of his cheap hotel room. It could be some sort of flu, but it's mostly a miserable hangover. One he's been nursing in private for most of the day, but his Cubone has had enough. After several headbutts had been ignored, Omi finally simply fumbled with his trainer's 'Gear until he got it recording.]
[Jimmy's been holed up with cheap booze and packaged meals, the realization of his situation having come upon him hard and all at once. He wasn't about to wake up back home. This wasn't some quick little vacation from reality. This was his damned life now and that was scarier than almost anything else that had happened to him these last few months.]
[But the booze had run out, and his money was about to, so here he is in the middle of an unplanned drying out and when he sees Omi set down the 'gear he groans.]
Jesus, what'd ya go and do that for? Nobody wants to see this... hey, turn it back a sec.
[And only when the screen is facing down does he stretch and grabs the machine, rolling over onto his back and making sure his bare hands are out of screen.]
Sorry. Feeling under the weather and Omi's all freaked out, I guess. I dunno if he was trying to call somebody or something, but...guess I look pretty bad, by Pokemon standards. Guess I should be lucky I had pants on when he did it, huh.
But since this is beaming out into the 'gear wavespace or whatever... what do they got around here that's good for churning guts?
And cheap.

Where are you? What city, I mean?

[But he isn't about to take charity. And that's all he can see it as, coming from the life he's lived. He hardly knows this guy - magic werebird, his mind corrects on its own - and Jimmy Darling doesn't want anyone's pity.]
[Of course the thought of actually getting up and going to the store seemed like a near impossible task.]

Look. I don't know what's going on with you or why you feel like you have to be drinking. I guess that's not my business. But you seem like a nice guy, and I don't want you to end up being like... other people I've seen drink.
So I just... want to help. You look like you could use a hand, and I know that alcohol gets expensive. So just let me know where you are and I can bring over some painkillers and food and water.
... If you want, I mean. If you don't want me to, I'm not going to make you.

[But only twice, because otherwise he just stayed drunk.]
It's no big deal. I'm a grown man, I can drink if I want to. I got plenty of reason to. I just need something to calm my stomach down and I'll feel better.
[It's tempting to let someone just bring him stuff, it is. But he's in his hotel room and his gloves are off and he doesn't want to deal with the questions that come with why the hell he's wearing gloves inside with his pajamas.]

[He runs a hand through his hair, trying to think.]
There's a few brands of painkiller that might help with the headache. Probably the one in the red label that you'll see, I forget the name of it. Something like toast will probably help your stomach. You should drink a bunch of water, too.

[And once he was feeling better, he could battle for some more money.]

[He's still kind of worried.]

- Oh. I don't think I ever gave you my name. I'm Tobias.
