You wake up in a locked room with several other Trainers.

First topic message reminder :

When you wake up, a girl with a blue bandanna is standing. She's wearing a blue, sleveless shirt and black shorts. She is banging on the door. "Ruby!" she yells. "Ruby!? Where are you?" A few feet away, a boy with a white hat that had a red band and a red and black shirt sits up. "Huh? You called?" The girl turns to the boy. "Ruby!" She runs onto her knees and hugs him. "Sapphire, calm down." Sapphire backs up. "I told you, don't call me that." Ruby rolls his red eyes, sits up, and puts on a pair of glasses. "Fine. Sapph, where are we?" Ruby and Sapph look around the room.

guys... i'll be fine, like i said when we met in that room in team aqua's base, i know what i'm doing and with the uniform disguise they won't give me a second look

i knew past knowledge would be useful

And you're positive it'll work? Archie might recongnize you.

i'll be fine i has the disguise so i'll blend into character like the other grunts

(this'll be my last post for the night, i'm not going into the base yet so there's no reason for you to...)

I cant do anything without my eyes..

Yea...fine

Now onto you.

*She turns to him*

What the heck happened to your eyes? Can you still see?

you know what, i'm gonna sleep here overnight i was getting kinda tired anyways goodnight..... 1 room please nurse joy *goes to bed*

(now...this'll be my last post for the night, so since i'm gonna sleep i'm not going into the base yet so there's no reason for you to.. ok?)

(I wasn't going to, anyways)

...

*sigh*

I wasnt that secritive huh?... No i cant see...

~nurse joy

Of course here is your room.

*turns to tristram*

AND YOU! HOW COULD YOU MAKE SUCH A MESS?!

~tristram

I...i

You were secretive, but I read the few signs you had.

*She turns to Nurse Joy*

And he was confused. We just got here after a long day and he's very tired. All he wanted to do was get to the room.

*She leans in and whispers to Nurse Joy*

I think he was sleep walking.

sapphire,dont lie...just tell her. nurse you could you do an eye exam for me?

~nurse joy

why of course

*does test which seems to take forever. walks out of room and talks to sapphire*

you are his friend right?

Yeah. Sorry about a few minutes ago. So what happened?

~nurse joy

...im sorry to say this but...and he doesnt know this yet, his eyes are severely damaged from the amount of stress put on them. there is no easy fix like glasses, his whole eye is damaged, not just the lens. the only option is stay blind forever or a highly experimental eye transplant...

Permantly damaged?! What should I do...?

I-I guess its his decision.

~nurse joy

well yes but...he hasnt heard it from me yet. lets go talk to him shall we?

*brings her to tristram*

*She follows*

~nurse joy

yes hello tristram...well you see...how will i put this? you are permanantly...um no....your vision is...im not very good at putting things lightly...

Here, let me. Basically, when you used your eyes like that, you really hurt them. They're permanently damaged from the strain.

~tristram

...that wasnt very light either....

is it that bad?...what can i do? am i just permanently blind?! oh god this is bad

There was no light way of saying that. Right now, you have two options. Either A, you go blind, or B, you get an experimental eye transplant.

...but who is gonna give me just one eye let alone two...

Er... I don't have an answer to that.

...i would do the eye surgery but i guess all i can do is....

stay blind

...maybe i can just have one eye transplanted? that way i could use one eye to see and the other for...

nurse joy is here

*looks at her*

~nurse joy

oh sorry, personal, right

*leaves*

~tristram

i could use the other eye for my markings, i could still see and who cares if my eye gets damaged, i cant see through it anyways...

Right. But who would donate? Ruby has eyes that are bad enough, Silver's asleep, so that would leave...

Me.

...

is she thinking about it?

sapphire no...i would rather have a stranger's eyes than a friend's

*She looks at him and nods*

He doesn't want mine...

R-right.
