Journal Entry 5. [Locked to Ritsu]

[warp_ring_tech]

[Audio clicks on and fumbling with Dr. Finitevus' D-Comm can be heard]

I got it! Phew. Thought I was about to drop it. Oh...it's on!

Hi Ritsu! My name is BlackV-mon, and I'm the doctor's partner. I thought I'd call to check up on you. The doctor would be doing it, but he's really not feeling well right now.

Sooooo, yeah. How are you? The doctor's been worried lately that you don't like him anymore? Is that true? He seems down about it. It'd be sad if he lost the first friend he made here. Hope you get this and respond soon.

Ah dammit...

I'm fine. Distracted, mostly... I've had a lot on my mind since that... kidnapping.

[warp-ring-tech.livejournal.com]

That had to be a scary thing to go through. The doctor still feels bad for not being able to help.

You know, if you want to talk about it, I'm all ears.

[25tontrap.livejournal.com]

I'm... not really the kind of person to talk about how I'm feeling. Thank you for the offer, though.

[warp-ring-tech.livejournal.com]

Alright. Have you been up to anything interesting lately? Oh! And I have to thank you for showing the doctor that awesome Cafe! I love the coffee at that place now.

[25tontrap.livejournal.com]

Ah. Of course. You're welcome. It is a nice place.

Things have actually been pretty quiet out here.

[warp-ring-tech.livejournal.com]

I see. Well, quiet is good sometimes. I like it when it's quiet. The doctor likes to travel a lot though, so I don't get a lot of time to relax.

[voice becomes saddened]

But with the doctor sick, I really don't like this break. I'm worried.

[25tontrap.livejournal.com]

Ah...

[can't be completely heartless now, can he?]

There's a clinic in Tetha. It might be in his best interest to take him there.

[BlackV-mon's voice still rang with a saddened tone]

I...I can't. The doctor said not to take him anywhere. He told me this morning just to keep him here and look after him.

But he has a big fever. I'm keeping a cold cloth on his forehead, but it doesn't seem to be helping.

[voice drops down to a whisper] I don't want to lose him.

[25tontrap.livejournal.com]

There are times when you have to ignore what your tamer says and do what's best for them.

[warp-ring-tech.livejournal.com]

[BlackV-mon was silent for a moment]

Alright...I'll take him to the clinic. Can....can you meet me there? I'm afraid to go alone.

[25tontrap.livejournal.com]

I... I'm sorry. If I could, I would. I can't get out of work. I'm... manning the bar in absence of another employee.

[warp-ring-tech.livejournal.com]

Alright. I understand. I hope you have a good day. I...need to get going to take the doctor to the clinic. Bye.
