thenearshore | Doing all I can do

Who: Goku and Nia
When: February 2nd-ish
Where: Temple of Huitzilopochtli
What: Goku got beat up and then he went to bed. At some point, someone has to find him.

[After the annoying few days of weird nightmares, Goku actually didn't mind the refreshing day of fighting the giant monkey monster with Bakugou. Sure, it was rough, sure a lot of stuff got smashed, but they won! Things had gotten a lot more concerning when the monkey had turned out to be Gohan and he'd been taken away by white-robed shinki... But Goku hadn't really been in a position to do anything about it at the time.

He hadn't been in a position to do anything. Goku had thought he'd been hit hard before, but nothing compared to a punch from Gohan in that form and he'd taken several. He'd been thrown, he'd been squashed, he'd worn his body to the bone just trying to keep up with the giant- small wonder he'd collapsed afterwards. Struggling to keep consciousness, his only sensible thought had been to find Hakkai and ask him for help. But he didn't know where Hakkai was. Couldn't think clearly enough to reach for his phone. Certainly couldn't walk to Li Tieguai's temple. He could sense Gojyo and Hokuto's presences, somewhere in the distance, and his own internal logic told him that where he found Gojyo he would also find Hakkai. He should just teleport.

Goku is still not very good at teleporting. After a few tries teleporting in different directions for various distances, he finally found himself staring up at the treehouse in bewilderment. Well, at the very least, he knew where his bed was.

He hasn't left his bed since. Gohan really wore him out. He only wakes up when his stomach starts growling, wincing from the pain.]

Ow... Ugh, no fair, I slept...

[Shouldn't his body feel better by now? Goku would like to file a complaint.]

Threaded | Flat

[When she'd first heard about the giant ape attack, she'd sent a text to Goku asking him playfully if he had a cranky big brother.]

[Then resent it when he didn't respond after a bit. Maybe the phone hadn't worked properly earlier.]

[The next day has a run of texts growing closer together, because she can believe he'd be stupid for a day and forget his phone somewhere, but the longer it goes the iffier it gets. Stop being an idiot, Goku!]

[So today finds her stomping on up to his temple. 'Temple', like it's anything more than an overgrown treehouse in an overgrown forest! Yeah, it's just like she'd expect to see from him, except none of the trees seem to be growing meat. That's almost disappointing.]

[Rope ladder? No problem. She clambers on up it without difficulty, already yelling at the main building as she does.]

Oi! Goku, you there!?
