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.

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.

God complex? Sophia let out a bitter laugh. That was rich coming from Mr Know-It-All. She opened her mouth, about to tell him this, then thought better of it. If they got into an argument or insult match, that would be a less than ideal atmosphere for the Jangmo-o to come back to.

One logical flaw in Oscar's statement needed pointing out, though.

"You say to put others first," Sophia said, raising an eyebrow, "but you say to put what I want above what my family want? My mom said if I loved and respected her, I'd prove it. I'd repay her efforts by making her proud. Isn't that just reasonable?"

Lacey stared up, shaking her head. "Gothi-gothi!" she squeaked, while the Bronzor drifted to its new trainer's side.

"Look. I know you're worried, all three of you," Sophia replied, "but this isn't too much to take on... at least, it shouldn't be..." She thought back to everyone she'd tried to help, and had only been able to do so much for. Rheese, Alexis, Oscar... Her mother always told her she was above most people and should remind them of this instead of going out of her way for them, but she couldn't deny she'd gone and become somewhat attached to this group. And if she'd been able to do more just now, would the Kommo-o and her other nestlings still be alive?

"Putting others first... Is that always even enough to help them?" she asked, cringing at the waver in her voice. "What good is intention without results? Particularly with everything that's been going on lately? I mean, maybe things could have been different for the dragons. And yesterday, Ray said we need to get stronger, or..." She couldn't finish the sentence.

Instead, she asked another question she knew she'd just get another preachy, long-winded answer to. "If you know so much about psychics, what do you suggest?"

Ahh, yeah that's what I meant. I wasn't saying skip through the visit, sorry for the confusion.
In Be my Sanctuary → 6 yrs ago Forum: 1x1 Roleplay
Timeskip closer to the visit then? What do you think works best? It's just it seems like they've already talked through the stuff they needed to.

That snort, as well as the wave of disdain from the anchor, told Jess exactly what Roxy thought of social workers. She considered saying something to defend her mother, but thought better of aggravating an already stressful situation by starting an argument. Roxy probably had reasons for her distrust.

"I know... I know, it's just..." Jess sighed. "The important thing is she doesn't figure anything out. It's like you said, then... acting normal will be the key."

The question was, though, could she act normal? Over the past few days, she'd tried training herself not to get tense or twitchy around the watchers, but she'd only had a short timeframe. Even if she managed to half-successfully go along with the act, would her mother see through it?

Sophia frowned. It had been a bad idea to ask. She should have known she'd just get another lecture. "Wait, what are you implying?" she answered. "Is it really so wrong to take pride in such talents? I mean, Caitlin of the Unova Elite Four does, and pretty much everyone admires her. Besides, my mom says my abilities are something to be proud of. Something to make the best of, no matter what the cost. She's taught me so much, I need to take those teachings on board, show her respect before she does the same for me. It's only fair."

Her head drooped, her fingers clenching around a tier of her skirt. Someone who benefits others... That had stung even more than the thought of disappointing her parents. "And... And you think I don't want to help others? You think I haven't wanted to several times over the past few days? It's just..." She trailed off, the words catching in her throat - how could she?

Even as Roxy accepted, Jess could tell she wasn't letting on everything. The mention of slow weekends brought on a twinge of discomfort. Over the past few days, it had become clear Roxy liked - or rather, needed - to keep herself busy. Given the circumstances, Jess couldn't blame her.

She nodded before resuming the phone conversation, letting her mother know Friday was fine. Afterwards, she slumped in a chair, staring at the blank screen and resting her head on one hand, before turning her attention back towards Roxy. She didn't want to ask this, but she had to know.

"Those people..." She could already imagine the figures blending into crowds, sharp eyes scrutinising the three. "Will they be around?" Hunching forward, she pushed back hair that hung in her face, her hands pressing into her forehead. "She can't know. I've got to make sure she doesn't notice anything about this... The problem is, noticing these things is something she's pretty good at. As well as acting on them." She sighed before continuing. "It's what she does. She's a social worker. So if she thinks... if she knows something's wrong..."

Instead of finishing the sentence, she bit her lip. Her mother had fought to get her the help she needed, contacted countless groups to try and get her matched up with someone, and would put up the same battle to fix any further problems she saw. The only reason her mom hadn't already gotten any authorities involved was likely a mix of insufficient proof and the difficulty of finding anchors, no matter what she thought of Roxy, but she'd be watching out for any issues.

If the slightest thing went wrong... Jess didn't want to imagine what would happen.

Watching Skoll and Nomia stick by the dragon as they followed the nurse, Sophia gave a little smile. Such a loyal, close-knit team already. This was what she loved about Pokemon.

"I'm sure they'll be a great family to him," she said as Oscar sat down next to her. Her smile spread slightly at his positivity - which, of course, turned into his usual overbearingness. "Just like I keep telling you," she replied, her expression souring, "I'm fine. I mean who doesn't need a little rest after a day of exploring?"

She wasn't fooling anyone, she knew it. Not Oscar. Not Rheese, who'd shown concern that morning. Not Lacey, whose wide blue eyes brimmed with distress. Not the Bronzor she'd leaned on throughout the return journey, who hovered closer.

"Seriously. I'm ok..." She glanced at the Bronzor, remembering it crashing into the cave wall in its confusion. "Are you, though?" She took the last empty Pokeball from her belt. "Here, if you want to come along, and I'll be able to get you healed right up." The Bronzor approached the capsule, then disappeared into it.

Six Pokemon. Of course, Oscar had already beaten her to it, but given the circumstances, that wasn't among the things bothering her.

Sophia returned all her Pokemon and stood up, trying not to sway or stumble as she strode towards the healing machine. A sudden bout of light-headedness came on, the room spinning as what little strength she had failed. "Ugh..." She gripped on to the machine for support. Well, that was that, she thought as she propped herself back up, taking the six Pokeballs from her belt and waiting for the Pokemon inside to be fully healed. Oscar would take that as even more proof he hadn't gotten the honest answer he'd wanted.

Once she'd retrieved the capsules and let out Lacey and the Bronzor, she traipsed over to the chair, sitting back down. Damn that guy grated on her - but the more she tried to hide, the more he'd worry. Could she really let him worry about her as well as the Jangmo-o? "You know, it's only fair if you give me an honest answer too," she said through gritted teeth. She looked at Oscar, silence hanging heavy between them, before she spoke. "Before you met me... What did you imagine a psychic to be like?"

More than this, she supposed - and more useful in the repeated disasters the group had faced over a mere matter of days.

Going with it's Thursday or Friday so the weekend isn't far away, if that's alright.
