[How long had it been? Gold wasn't entirely sure. The hours turned to days, and the days turned to weeks while he was in that place. He couldn't be sure how long he'd been gone or how long he was stuck in that stupid lab. All he could think about now was that he was back in the village.
Around him, he could hear the crashing of the waves against the shore. He could feel the coarse sand beneath his fingers as he laid sprawled out.]
The beach, huh... Man, to leave me with a vacation after that ordeal? You guys are so hospitable... [He mused to no one in particular, but really hoped that perhaps the Malnosso were listening.
Finding the strength to at least sit up, Gold grabs his journal that was conveniently nearby, to broadcast a message.]
Guess I'm back, guys. Hey, think I can get a hand or five here? I've never felt this sore in my whole life. It really kinda hurts to even move right now. [And that says a lot coming from a guy who gets blown up by dangerous beasts on a regular basis.
After that, he turns off his journal and just flops back on the sand. Yep, just gonna lay here.]

[Action]
[Sometime after Gold's managed to make it home courtesy of some kind soul, learned about how half of his friends had gone home, and had some time to rest up, he's out and about in the village. Previously, this sort of thing would have hit him hard. He'dve become sulky and put-out over the thought of his friends leaving him behind. But he refuses to become like that again. He won't let despair consume him like it did last time. Feel free to run into him almost anywhere in the village. Common spots include the restaurant, the rec center, the battle dome, and his friends in community building one, but he'll be wandering in the village in general if none of those spots work.]
((ooc: Gold's mallynap effect is special. Remember in the games when you'd try to ride your bike indoors or try to use a key item that you weren't supposed to, only to get greeted by those lovely words from the Professor, "There's a time and place for everything! But not now." or something to that effect? Well, that's what's literally will happen to Gold. He has a nondescript voice in his head for the duration of the effect that, when he tries to do or say something, there's a possibility it may prevent him from doing it, telling him why, like "it's not time" or "you can't do that here" or something like that.
There's also a certain degree of reality warping to it. For instance, if he tries to go through a doorway to meet someone on the other side, and it tells him "this door is locked", then he isn't getting through, even if it's clearly open, and neither is anyone else, at least as long as he's in the area or until it decides that the door is now open!))

Look, I'm sure--huh? [His hand suddenly stops, as if pushing against an invisible barrier. Frowning, he tries again, but nope, it looks like he's having a similar problem too.] What is this?
action;
Alright, hold up, Gold has an idea. He backs up, preparing to charge at the door with all he's got. He'll force his way through. You have about two seconds to move, Cilan, or he might end up barreling right through you when he charges, assuming he gets through.]
action;
If Gold manages to get through...well, knowing our luck, Cilan's probably gonna get knocked to the floor anyway. If Gold gets repelled back, then...uh, we're sorry that our doorway apparently really does not want to let you in. 8|]
action;
Of course, at that moment, the voice decides the door is no longer locked, and so he passes right through without even the littlest bit of resistance. This of course causes him to trip and crash right into Cilan, his momentum having been greater than he'd intended.]
Guwaah!
action;
What a distasteful entrance... [But hey it looks like it worked...oh, right, should probably make sure the other guy on the floor is okay too, uh--] Are you alright, Gold?
action;
action;
Well, at least you were able to pass through now? Though that certainly had a peculiar flavor to it... [Anyway, he stands and dusts himself off a little before turning his attention to Gold.] Would you like anything to drink while you're here?
action;
After all, I don't think I have to tell you why I stopped by.
action;
Hm...I can certainly guess the nature of this visit. [Cilan gestures further inward into the apartment.] Please, sit anywhere you'd like.
action;
...And also come about all the trainers who left maybe too.
Gold nods, and walks over to the couch. If you tell him he can't sit, voice, he is going to have WORDS with you.]
action;
Are you alright? [Yes, we know we already asked something like that earlier, but did your couch dilemma get settled? (Although I guess that he also means "are you alright with everyone leaving" too.)]
action;
action;
Please, help yourself to whatever you'd like! [Provided voices in your head don't judge your tastes.]
action;
...And then he seems to stall out right there.]
action;
Gold? Is there something wrong with it? [Indicating the one he's currently holding, which is...doubtful, to be honest. Usually people don't "stall out" like that when it comes to his cooking, especially not without even eating them yet.]
action;
action;
Is it a similar problem like the one with the door earlier?
action;
Oh hell no! This is where I draw the line!
action;
This taste appears to be more troublesome than I thought...a side-effect from having been gone, I take it? [A "mallynap effect", he means. Oh Luceti, what a pain you are sometimes.] I wouldn't want to further exacerbate it, but is there something we can do to help?
action;
action;
action;
"You can't do that now." "Now's not the time for that." "There's a place and time for everything! But not now!" [He says this in a very mocking tone.]
And whenever it says that, it actually somehow prevents me from doin' it!
action;
Is there anything that can be done about it, or is this something that you'll have to wait and see when it wears off on it's own? [He's kind of suspecting the latter but if you have ideas of what you plan to do about it, we're all ears.]
action;
Hah!
