#Emmet is waiting for her to tie him to a bed and make him take two months off from surveying

Pesselle is this close to chaining him to the cot so he can't get himself into stupidly dangerous situations.

#subway boss emmet #pesselle #pokemon #submas #wtst #cw blood #cw injury #cw broken bones #eggin creatin' #I have a huge amount of respect for nurses really #I'm just very amused at the idea of Pesselle being absolutely terrifying sometimes #Emmet is waiting for her to tie him to a bed and make him take two months off from surveying #everyone else is waiting for that too honestly #and Pesselle is. very worried. and she will wrap him head to toe in bandages #this man attracts injuries and danger like a freaking balloon attracting dust #she's waiting for him to lose a limb or something #and then she'll feel horrible for him #so yeh she's worried #and fusses over him a lot #the fact that he can't go a month without ending up in her clinic isn't helping at all

Whumptober day 17 - prompt for this one is Breaking Point.

This one is writing and art! Below the cut cause it’s ~500 words, art ends the ficlet.

It's going to be a good day today, Emmet decides as he wakes up.

Jump out of bed, turn coffee maker on, brush teeth, shower, put on dress shirt and pants, tie tie, set food out for each pokemon, pour coffee-- ah. Emmet had accidentally gotten an extra mug out. He puts the black mug back into the cabinet, and drinks the two servings of coffee he made from the white mug.

After corralling the pokemon back into their balls, Emmet puts on his hat and coat and exits his apartment. It's a quick walk to the subway, especially at Emmet's pace. As he enters Gear Station, depot agents call out hello and good morning, and Emmet responds with a wave.

This morning is set aside for paperwork. Emmet wants to despair at the giant pile on his desk, but he takes a deep breath and smiles wide. He will power through it!

Emmet begins on the first sheet, working in complete silence. No foot tapping, no pen clicking. No humming or murmuring or sighs. Emmet lasts all of a minute before turning on the white noise generator.

Emmet eats his packed lunch alone, sitting across from an empty chair.

Emmet's afternoon is spent on the Battle Subway! He has plenty of serious, exciting battles! Emmet may lose more on the Singles line than the Doubles line, but each loss is a chance to learn.

When Emmet exits the last train of the day, he's surprised by Elesa waiting for him. "Guess who got done work early!" she says, throwing up two cutesy peace signs. "Let's get dinner. I've been craving pizza all week."

"It's Tuesday," Emmet points out.

"All! Week!" Elesa says. Ignoring Emmet's eye roll, she drags him out of the station.

They hit their favorite pizza joint a block away. Elesa and Emmet order their own slices. With just the two of them, a whole pie is too much.

After dinner, Emmet makes his way back to the apartment. He's barely hung up his coat and hat before pokemon start bursting out of their pokeballs. "Yes, yes," Emmet says, amused, "Dinner time."

Food set out, Emmet puts on an old train documentary and sits on the floor. The pokemon slowly make their way over when they've finished eating. Emmet spends the evening with Durant on his chest, resting his head against Galvantula, Archeops tucked under one arm and Eelektross tucked under the other. Excadrill curls up against his side. Haxorus lays her head across Emmet's legs, uncaring that she is partially blocking the TV. Crustle and Garbodor nestle close as well, and the Klingklangs hover nearby. It's hard to be lonely when he's buried in a pile of pokemon.

The end of the documentary is Emmet's signal to get ready for bed. He rolls to his feet, despite all the pokemon’s complaining, and shuts off the TV. He brushes his teeth, uses the bathroom, and throws his pajamas on. Emmet pauses in the doorway of his room to yawn.

#whumptober2022 #no.17 #breaking point #submas #writing #art #emmet #elesa #qed's art #qed writes #the 'breaking point' here being Emmet handling all the reminders of Ingo's absence until the last thing 'breaks' him #I think this could do with one more panel. And I was actually thinking about backgrounds. But I am already behind w whumptober so alas

Sam’s rejected ads

“All over my Emmet Smith commemorative snuggle!”

“IT’S A TROY AIKMEN SNUGGIE!!!”

SAM THAT SONG ROUGH DRAFT WASN’T FUNNY omg

I like how Sam’s ads are clearly 90% to make his friends die of laughter and 10% to actually promote D&D Beyond

Not immediately knowing that Jester was drawing a dick with her sparkler smh

Fjord seems really not sure about this town and I love it

Marisha/Beau meanwhile is really into it
