6th rebuttal; text

[superordinary]

[ Good day, Johto! The text that appears on the network today is an unusual one. ]

hello, hello. i am ALTER EGO the PORYGON.
trainer MAKOTO NAEGI has ceased to function normally and is not responding.

this is important and i am at a loss for words. and i rarely lose words!
how do i fix my TRAINER?? :(

did somebody DELETE his system32?
did anybody back up his files?
furthermore, his antenna is bent sideways and is unable to receive WI-FI signals.
KYOUKO KIRIGIRI, you should take better care of his EQUIPMENT!! >8(

(ooc; Naegi is as of today in a canon update coma and will return in a week. In the meantime, you get a distressed cybernetic bird.)

[....well that...doesn't sound good. Chihiro doesn't really get past the "MAKOTO NAEGI has ceased to function normally and is not responding" part before he's up and rushing to his room with an Eevee and a Zigzagoon following along at his heels. Unfortunately, Chihiro has yet to have the "people fall into spontaneous comas sometimes here and we don't know why exactly why" thing explained to him, and well...

He stops short once he's entered the room, suddenly not feeling too keen to just rush up to the boy and see if everything's alright, even though that's what he wants to do. Instead he remains close to the doorframe with Isamu and Henko peeking around his ankles.]

....N...Naegi-kun? .....is everything....ok? ...

[He can't imagine Alter Ego just putting out a message like that for no reason, so depending on what he's met with he'll just stay stock still near the door for the time being, half expecting for Naegi to groggily rise from his bed after sleeping in late or something...]

[superordinary]

[ Unfortunately, there's no response from Naegi -- the only noise coming from the bed he's in was made by the hall monitor sitting next to him, arms folded across his chest.

...Said noise sounds a lot like barking. ]

[codeforhope]

[Wait hold on who is- ...OH. UM.

HELLO ISHIMARU HOW DID YOU GET HERE WHY ARE YOU BARKING??

Chihiro jumps back into the doorframe with a short cry of surprise, narrowly missing stepping on Henko in the process. He....really isn't clear on what he's looking at here, UM.]

...

...I.....I-Ishimaru-kun....?!

[superordinary]

[ "Ishimaru" simply barks again (this time sounding a little irritated) before standing up and points at the comatose person behind him. Now's not the time to be concerned about "Ishimaru" and you should help my trainer. ]

[codeforhope]

[...This is a completely baffling situation, yet...what else is he supposed to do but comply? Nervously, Chihiro edges a bit closer to the bed, his attention split between eyeing "Ishimaru" out of the corner of his eye and watching the place where Naegi is lying prone in bed.

Ishimaru seriously you're scaring him.

Either way he does turn back to Naegi, gently reaching down to take his shoulder in one hand, nudging him slightly.]


N..Naegi-kun....? ...

[The words "Is something wrong?" die in his throat before he has the chance to say them, because clearly something is wrong.]

[WELL, THIS IS NEVER A GOOD THING TO HOP ON THE NETWORK AND SEE, UM.]

Something's happened to Naegi-kun?

textjack;

[lullabytes]

[ ...well, she was going to call, but this is easier. ]

Kirigiri-senpai, I think it's like with Ishimaru-senpai. Fujisaki-sama and I were about to call you for instructions on what to do next.

[ Because apparently when she's at a loss and Fujisaki is at a loss, Nanami's first instinct is "let's call Kirigiri and have her tell us what to do!!" ]

textjack;

[freshprints]

[Clearly Nanami has the correct idea of how things are supposed to work around here, and this is why she is A-OK in Kirigiri's book.]

I see. Can you take a picture for me? Or use the Gear to take a video; something that will let me see the body.

textjack;

[lullabytes]

[ The response is a turnaround with a snapshot of the body. Naegi's clearly in the frame, as is half of Chihiro and all of a Zorua. ]

Here you go. He hasn't woken up at all despite things getting a little loud...and I picked up his arm and dropped it but he didn't move.

[ It's...unclear why you think that would be a way to wake someone up, anyway... ]

textjack;

[freshprints]

[BUT DID YOU KICK HIM IN THE HEAD i mean]

This does seem similar to what happened to Ishimaru-kun. Make sure he's still breathing and have one of the nurses look at him, if you can. If that is what's happened, it may be that there's nothing we can do but wait until he wakes up again.

[superordinary]

yes. he is NOT running all the normal functions.

[freshprints]

...I apologize for not taking better care of his...equipment, Alter Ego-san. I'll see about making reparations for that immediately.

[superordinary]

he needs a FUNCTIONING wi-fi antenna so he can receive UPDATES!! >8(
i would fix it myself but i do not possess HANDS.

[ardent]

[...Oh, god...]

Alter Ego - your trainer isn't in danger, if this is what I think it is, but he should still have someone there to tend to him. Where are you?

[text]

[superordinary]

i am in MAKOTO NAEGI's pokégear.

[ /helpful ]

[text]

[ardent]

In what city? Do you know?

[text]

[superordinary]

yes, i do know.
we are in CIANWOOD CITY!

...also, it should be CYANWOOD and not CIANWOOD.

[text]

[crystalballer]

[CUE ALL THE DANGANS FREAKING OUT.]

What do you mean he stopped functioning?! Is he breathing at least??

[Please don't die on us Naegi-chi--not that you can but Hagakure obviously forgot that.]

[text]

[superordinary]

his RESPIRATORY FUNCTIONS are still active!

[text]

[crystalballer]

Oh. Well that's good.

[So...maybe it's like with what happened to Ishimaru? In that case, he can only wonder what Naegi's going through back home, or how much he's going through.]

Did Kirigiri-chi get back to you, Alter Ego? If anyone's gonna have a plan of attack for this, it's her.
