[ After the hospitalization of Nanami, Kyu-chan (Mimikyu) and Mizu-chan (Mudkip) have been crying nonstop. During one of Sooyoung's visits, the two will turn around to look at her with teary eyes before they leap towards her. Wehhhhh, comfort them!! ]
[ It takes quite a bit of willpower to not swat them to the ground on reflex, so instead she catches them when they leap towards her. She's not very good at being sentimental, so her Ditto pops out and it comforts them instead by pulling them both into a wide jelly hug. ]
She's still not up, huh...
She's still not up, huh...
[ Wide jelly hug ;o; Mizu-chan is a distraught parent because they see Nanami as their child and their child nearly died! Its authoritative :V is now a :'V. Kyu-chan at least doesn't stick with Ditto for too long and wanders underneath Sooyoung to nod sadly. She's not waking up :'(!!!!!! ]
[ Sooyoung looks around from where she stands. She thinks this hospital is pretty shabby, and she doesn't have a good opinion regarding the townspeople because it doesn't seem they tried solving their own problems. Maybe there's a correlation here.
She looks down at the pokemon. Maybe they'll be useful in a way. ]
You two heard of the kids coming here and getting sick. Maybe it's affecting her too. Let's get to the bottom of this, so she can wake up quickly.

[ Kyu-chan immediately looks alert. If it's somehow related... then yes, they need to get to the bottom of this immediately! He scurries back over to the Ditto and Mizu-chan, having a brief talk before he goes back to Sooyoung. The Mudkip is going to stay here with Nanami in case anything happens while the Mimikyu will help out with the investigation. ]
[ A shadowy arm comes out underneath his rags and does a brief salute. Tag-team, let's go! ]

[ Kyu-chan is so cute... too bad Sooyoung doesn't think too much of it and gestures to them. ]
Alright, you've been in this place, so you know a thing or two more than I do. You, be the translator.
[ Ditto also salutes and looks over to Mimikyu. It'll shape itself to letters that Sooyoung can understand as Mimikyu tells it things.
Ditto has gone through a lot under Sooyoung's care... ]

Did you notice anything strange when you stayed the night here? It doesn't have to be related to your trainer, but any weird vibes you got. I heard Drifloons were coming here and doing things.
[ Ditto looks so prepared. Let's do this. ]
[ Ditto looks so prepared. Let's do this. ]
[ He shakes his head. He and Mizu-chan stayed in Nanami's room the entire time so they didn't notice anything, but he knows that there are Drifloons that occasionally appear in the hospital. As a fellow ghost-type, if he finds one, he can talk to them and try to talk with them, if she wants? ]
Yeah, do that.
[ She thinks in order to investigate, they shouldn't draw too much attention to themselves. Making an avatar with the nurse's clothes is a last resort, so Sooyoung takes a medical mask and puts it over her face. That's standard protocol in a hospital, isn't it?
Sooyoung holds out her arms towards Mimikyu and Ditto. She's going to hold them in her arms while she travels. ]
Let's go.

Let's go.
[ The hallways are relatively empty, especially during the evenings, but it's strange how there's not a single soul in sight. It's silent and it'll be a few feet before they finally see something. ]
[ Dark smoke that lingers in the air before it vanishes through a wall. Something cold then briefly slides against Sooyoung's ankle before it disappears. ]

[ Sooyoung's grip on Ditto and Kyu-chan aren't as hard, so if they choose to, they can break free at any moment. She continues to venture on despite feeling something on her ankle. She figures the feeling would disappear and there would be no use stomping on it or whatever.
She chooses to cautiously follow where the dark smoke was seen, trying to find a door that leads to the room where the smoke had vanished into. She thinks it could be a pokemon, so her knife and gun would be useless here from what she's seen. ]

[ Despite that Kyu-chan said that he could speak with another ghost-type on their behalf, he's... kind of a scaredy-cat. He instantly starts shaking when he sees the mist and decides to stay put in Sooyoung's arms; it's a safe and warm place... ]
[ The smoke went through a wall in between two doors. Left or right. Which one do you choose? ]

[ Ditto is also cautious, ready to jump out to defend Sooyoung and Kyu-chan at any given moment, but wraps itself around Kyu-chan in an attempt to comfort him.
Sooyoung goes through the left door. ]
Sooyoung goes through the left door. ]
[ It's........ a small janitor closet! ]
[ There's a sink, a mop and its bucket, some cleaning supplies lined up against a shelf, and questionable mold on the ceiling. There doesn't appear to be anything out of the ordinary. Does she investigate or leave? ]

[ Sooyoung squints. She figures something gaseous would be able to hide right away. Good thing she got an encounter with Fai's Skitty before. ]
Transform into that cat and use Foresight.
[ Ditto turns into a Skitty and uses Foresight in the closet. Ghostie, where are you... ]

[ Ditto turns into a Skitty and uses Foresight in the closet. Ghostie, where are you... ]
[ hey, that's cheating :///// ]
[ The ghostie is hidden on one of the higher shelves, tucked behind some bottles. What Pokemon is that? It's... a Gastly! Wow, what a surprise. It doesn't appear to be aware that Ditto is now about to see it as it just snickers away. Hehehehe, come closer, Sooyoung. Come into the closet. ]

[ She breathes out and looks in another direction and quietly mutters: ]
Give it a taste of its own medicine.
[ Ditto nods, melts away from Sooyoung's hold, grabs a pokeball on the way, transforms into a Gastly and attempts to rush at it to lick it to paralysis.
Lick lick lick. ]

[ Oh no, a surprise attack! The Gastly is taken back and Ditto is able to get in a sucker lick in. It lets out a wail, similarly to how a frustrated child cries when their plans are foiled, and it knocks over the cleaning supplies off the shelf in its frantic attempt to escape. It's paralyzed but it tries to push through; literally as it phases through the wall and goes in the direction of the other door. ]
[ There's a scream. ]
[ There's a scream. ]
[ Oh shit. Oh fuck. Sooyoung doesn't care for orderly things, but she tries to catch the falling supplies before they make a racket, to put them down quietly after. ]
Abort mission--
[ Ditto the Gastly trails after Sooyoung, returning to her arms and returning the pokeball in her pocket. She runs towards the direction of the scream. If it's in a room, she'll attempt to open the door. Sorry for the wild ride, Kyu-chan, but at least Sooyoung is keeping you safe. ]

[ Kyu-chan is getting dizzy from all this hectic disaster so he's glad that he's being carried. This wild ride now leads into a patient's room, where Niko is staying. Her eyes dart between Sooyoung and the Gastly who is paralyzed on the ground, unable to move, even when there's an angry Rockruff barking at it. ]
I-- I-- It's a ghost!!
[ The ghost of a baseball!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! ]
I-- I-- It's a ghost!!
[ The ghost of a baseball!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! ]
[ Sooyoung doesn't think twice before tossing a pokeball at the Gastly and making the shh gesture to Niko. Dear lord this girl can scream like hell. ]
Stop screaming.
[ Uh. ]
It'll be okay.
[ Yeah that was a good thing to add. Let me go over to location page for pokemon... ]

[ Uh. ]

[ Yeah that was a good thing to add. Let me go over to location page for pokemon... ]
[ Telling her that things will be okay does not help at all, but once Sooyoung captures the Gastly, that calms her down. The Rockruff also stops barking. ]
It... It was just a Pokemon?
[ Oh... that makes things a little bit better. ]
It... It was just a Pokemon?
[ Oh... that makes things a little bit better. ]
[ Sooyoung sighs and then picks up the pokeball, releasing the Gastly in order to interrogate it, but it looks like it won't be cooperative. She puts it back in the pokeball and turns to Niko. ]
Yeah. Did you see anything weird around here? Aside from that thing just now. I heard there were balloons and crows being bad signs, but...
[ She thinks the Murkrows gathering around just sounds like a black cat superstition. ]

[ At the mention of the crows, Niko immediately looks downcasted. Her hands clutch the blankets and tighten. Hachiko goes on over to her bed, jumping up and curling up beside her. ]
I... I don't know about the balloons, but... I sometimes see the-- the crows...
