Saki moved to stop the two girls from questioning Rheese, but it was too late. She had expected to at least have a few minutes to caution the group and explain what to expect when he awoke. The crying was new, sure...so maybe this was different.

Rheese looked at Sophia and Amber as they rushed over. He had no idea where he was...He didn't remember seeing any buildings like this in Mesalon. [i][color=orchid]"Are you ok? I mean, you remember who you are, right? And who we are?"[/color]
[/i]
[color=007236]"Y-yeah. Of course, I mean it's only been a few hours." [/color]He said, confused by the questions. Something was definitely going on here, and given everything that had happened since he'd gotten to Kosei...well he didn't feel like he had any terrible new injuries.

[i][color=chocolate]"You ok now? How are you feeling?[/color][/i]

"I guess I'm fine. Last thing I remember I was training just outside of town...then...then-" Rheese suddenly doubled over in pain. Wooper jumped out of his lap but looked on in concern as Rheese clutched his head.

Rheese's head felt like it just got tossed into a wood chipper...tiny glimpses of memories that didn't even feel whole, distorted voices that he couldn't even understand, and the rest felt like he was trying to remember an incredibly overexposed photograph. The whole process was so painful that Rheese had to hold his mouth as he wretched. He didn't even notice the newcomers that had entered through the pain and confusion. His ears rang heavily and everything and everyone seemed to blend into a mess of color as he tried to pull himself away from his shredded memories and back into the here and now.

[color=a2d39c]"Liligant, use Armotherapy."[/color] A quiet voice seemed to cut through the chaos as a pleasant smell overrode everything else. Rheese was suddenly aware that he had been clutching his hair and covering his mouth for what had felt like forever. He took a deep breath and slowly lowered his hands back. He caught a glimpse of one of his hands as it returned to his side to see it shaking violently. [color=007236]"W-what was-"[/color] He began to ask as the pink haired girl with the Liligant put her finger to his lips.

[color=a2d39c]"Do not think about it. I know that isn't the most concerting thing to hear right now, but it's the only way to keep your mind in one piece right now."[/color] Saki said as she eased Rheese back into a proper sitting position. [color=a2d39c]"I am Saki, you are in Vareena now. The details are unimportant, you are physically uninjured and your friends are here and safe."[/color]

Saki covered Rheese's ears gently and addressed his friends.[color=a2d39c]"What you just saw...Well, perhaps I shouldn't have tried to tell you all that he was fine. Whatever they're doing to people...if he tries to remember whatever memories they took from him...Well, to put it bluntly, that was a mild reaction."[/color] Saki brightened up slightly and took her hands off of Rheese's ears. [color=a2d39c]"You have options though. I hear in Qualeen they've helped some people using technology...Or, another afflicted claimed a psychic set them straight. Otherwise you could simply leave Kosei and avoid thinking about your time here."
[/color]

"But who even did this to me?" Rheese asked, now a bit scared to try and think back himself. He couldn't help it a bit though as the intense pain began to-

Saki suddenly swatted him in the head and snapped him out of it before he could get too far. [color=a2d39c]"If they took even that information, reminding you could really do some damage. Quit testing it if you want to keep your mind intact."[/color] Wooper hopped back into Rheese's lap and nodded resolutely. He had seen Saki snap Rheese out of it a few ways now, so he felt like a blast of cold water would probably do the same if he had another episode.

Saki's attendants were now quite distracted by a rather large Arcanine that had entered the gym. A few of them naturally lumped praise onto the huge dog while some others were a bit nervous about the fire type's proximity to the rather fragile flora of the gym's entrance. 

Without a sound a Ludicolo danced and shimmied its way around, seemingly prepared to extinguish any accidental flames that could break out.
