Seventh Gold Bold [Video; taking place a short time after Alisters video]]

[Hello city of Vatheon. On your screens is a face not many have seen in a while. His eyes and ears are drooping a bit and he gives a long yawn, showing off those pearly whites. Ratchet is a tired Lombax but he needs to get this out before things get worse; if that is even possible. He waves and gives the camera a tired smile.]

Hey everyone. Just wanted to let you know I'm awake and everything is fine. Nothing big to worry about, alright? I'll talk to you all once I get a few cups of coffee in me. Still really tired. Those comas can take it out of you, huh? Anyone, talk to you all in a bit. Later.

OhthankLightyou'renotdead.

Course I'm not dead. I was just asleep.

Y-Yeah, but I...

_{[Was terrified? Was going to kick some elderly Lombax ass? Yeah.]}

I swear I'm gonna give Alister an ear-full when I get my freakin' nerves back under control. One of these days he's gonna give me a heart attack or something.

How come? What did he do?

[Hello Ratchet. Welcome back.

There is a very broken half-demon on your SFC, whenever you return from that coffee.]

... you're... okay...

Yeah, I'm okay.

...What's wrong? You look like someone just kicked your puppy...hard.

[The Okumura you are trying to reach has dropped his SFC and is no longer responding.

Please leave a message after the obvious sobbing noises.]

Rin? ...Rin?

...Please. Come on. Pick up. Tell me what's wrong.

[He quiets down, but he doesn't come back to the SFC. His voice can be heard off screen, strangely disembodied but with lingering evidence of crying.]

Some one needs t' have a goddamn talk with Alister-san about his fuckin' insane ideas...

I can do that...I guess.

Is that what's wrong? Did he say something to you?

Scared the shit outta me is more like it!

[There's a sniffle and some shuffling near by.]

Fuck this... I'm goin' back to bed before this month gets any fuckin' worse...

Um...alright. I'll talk to him.

...Want to meet up tomorrow or something? Maybe catch up?

... I don't-- ... I just wanna be alone right now...

[If he doesn't sound alright, that's because he's really not.]

Come on. You know that won't make you feel any better. Let's just meet up. I'll even cook for you for once.

[There's no answer again, not even the sound of Rin moving.]

You saw what I did when Alister refused to celebrate his birthday.

'sdifferent... you don't know what happened...

Then why not tell me?

[A very long silence, then:]

... I don't wanna talk 'bout it anymore... 'mtired of relieving it every damn time I close my eyes...

Okay. I get that.

Then let's just do something to get your mind off of whatever it is.

... y... yeah, sure... we can do that...

Alright. I'll see you later then.

'kay...

They really do take a lot out of you. One would think that sleeping for so long would have you waking up refreshed, but I remember feeling more tired than I have ever felt in my life.

That's right were I am. I'm on my third cup of coffee and it hasn't really put a dent in it.

It gets better after a little bit! It's just the first couple of days or so that really make you feel strange.

At least it does away. Any idea on what helps? Coffee? Energy Drinks?

I had some tea, but it didn't help much. The most you can do is wait it out.

Great. [He sighs.]

I'm not big on waiting.

[ She can sympathize. She offers a sheepish smile. ]

Sometimes, that's all you can do.

I guess. Maybe I'll go running later. That might help, if I don't fall asleep on a bench somewhere.

It may! I don't think you'll have any issues with falling asleep, though. For me, it was like ... I was tired, but not really sleepy at all. I felt exhausted, but if I were to lay down, I wouldn't be able to sleep. Something like that.

So the coral makes people insomniacs. Good thing I'm already one.

It wears off after a while. Sorry, it's a little hard to explain.

I think I got it. [A smile.]

Thanks for you help. I just tend to be on the snarky side when I first wake up.

You're welcome! I'm glad I could help!
