The worst thing about mental illness is you have to look after yourself a disgusting amount. I know it's the only way to actually be in a fit state to look out for others, but it still feels wrong.

Emeth: Then I'll be that friend who's the opposite kind of annoying, whispering "Do it, you know you want to..."

Judging by the Internet's definitions of introversion and extraversion, you'd think everyone's either an extreme hermit or a party animal with no in between.

Bio
A frazzled British thirtysomething cat mum with something of a tea addiction.
I like a wide range of RP genres, but have two absolute favourites: Pokemon and magical girls. (If someone manages to combine the two, I'll be VERY happy!) I post fairly regularly, but sometimes shit mental health days crop up - if that causes any delays, I'll try to resume posting ASAP.
As she poured coffee and prepared her breakfast, Jess couldn't ignore the trapped feeling coming from Roxy. Like she had no choice but to do something she didn't want to do.
The empath remained silent, almost too sick with worry to eat the toast in front of her, but she couldn't keep the anchor waiting. She forced herself to finish her breakfast. As much as she wished she could help the person who'd been kind to her despite everything, asking about this would only make things worse. All she could do was make sure not to stress Roxy further.
Every nerve on edge from a mix of sleep deprivation, caffeine, Roxy's emotions and her own, Jess trailed like a shadow behind the anchor. That was what she felt like, and she knew all too well Roxy did too. Both of them had become shades of the people they'd been, their identities stolen by their abilities.
Florence had known all along there was a chance Vernie wouldn't be anywhere nearby. Knowing, though, wasn't the same as accepting. The news still brought a fresh stab of pain. Raw, unbearable pain.
The hope she'd let build up, along with the strength it had given her, faded away. She hunched over, shaking her head, still unprepared - unable - to face the truth. "But..." she whispered. "B-but... it seemed like we were so close..."
Disappointment, guilt, and sickening worry roiled through her. "I failed her..." Tears choked the words. "She... She was so excited about setting out, and... and n-now... Who knows what's happening to her!" She couldn't bring herself to think about what her closest friend could be going through right now. "If only I'd been thinking... if-if only I hadn't dragged her into that mission right away..." Instead of being able to say anything more, she broke down sobbing.
Had starting out as a trainer been the biggest mistake she'd ever made?
Ella sat helplessly as she watched Florence break. There was no other way to describe it - seeing the hope leave her eyes, seeing her crumple, hearing her speech drowned by tears.
"No... Florence, no. It wasn't your fault," Ella said, knowing all the while how unlikely she was to comfort her friend. She rummaged through her bag, and, unable to find a tissue, handed Florence one of the brightly-coloured, boldly-patterned rags she kept around for sewing projects. "We know it's possible to beat those poachers. We all managed to get those other Pokemon out, so we'll find Vernie, and we'll do the same for her."
It was just the three of them now, Vivian having gone home to support her family and Petals after their ordeal. Even so, Ella was prepared to help Florence in any way she could, and presumably, so was Leisy... but how would they, when they didn't have the slightest idea where to search?
@OtomostheCrazy Well, Rheese is about to battle Lan (Heckno and I did the Showdown battle, and he's writing up the post). So Deneb can do the gym battle right afterwards if you want.
As for Alexis, it's still the same day so she'd likely still be out training.
