((Backdated to April 2nd.))
[Video/filtered from Kimihara Himeno & Tohru Honda]
[Wherever Nobori is, it is very dark, making it difficult to see much of him. One arm is carrying his sleeping Pokemon, Chandela, whose fire does not burn as brightly as it usually does. As for Nobori himself, he doesn't appear half as enthusiastic about his announcements as usual, looking quite visibly drained, even in the low light. His face is gaunt and his hair looks much thinner. It appears as if the man somehow tripled in age overnight.]
... we apologize most sincerely for the delay. [His voice also sounds weaker, not as loud and clear as it normally is.] The previous month's new arrivals:

Mr. Valentine, does nothing die here?
This is an urgent matter. I await your reply.
[text/private to Gabriel]
Madame Gabriel, could you tend to a Ghost?
This is not a joke. I foolishly overworked my partner in my haste and it is now in dire need of attention. There are similarities between the animals you deal with and Pokemon, so I am confident in your abilities. I await your reply.

(Filtered; ... that is the most dissonantly casual wording and it's cracking me up. xD)
I am in your debt once again.
Re: (Filtered; That's panic for ya)
humanadult sheep, may suffice instead of the above mentioned scraps.Whatever you choose, talk with the butcher [insert download here of address and phone numbers, including the unlisted 'after-hours hotline']. They're most helpful and discrete with those who have 'special needs'.
(Filtered; he's going to be so confused after this is through.)
That's
Why would you need to
["Special needs." Discrete. Just what is he getting involved in here? All of this is sending up so many warning flags that even in his current state, he recognizes as demanding further explanation, but Chandela's health takes precedent. Just thank him and go.]
Thank you very much.
Re: (Filtered)
(Relax. Butcher offerings are strictly animal, mainly of the typical barnyard food stock and a few game, like deer. Nothing exotic or illegal. The employees are all ok.
True, some of the customers might be a little dicey....)
(Filtered)
He'll be back to talking to him just a few hours later, looking recognizably like himself again (no more haggard face and thinning hair) and holding a tired-looking, but conscious Chandela, with flames burning more brightly now.] Shandelaaa-shan.
[He smiles gratefully and bows.]
Thank you very much, Mr. Valentine!
I am in your debt once more.
[When he rises, the smile falters a bit and he sort of awkwardly stands there as if about to say something else, but never following through.]
Re: (Filtered)
Looking much better, Chandela.
(Filtered)
Sir, um, a vampire— really?!
[It's kind of, almost half-a-phrase.]
Re: (Filtered)
(Filtered)
[A pause.] Up until this dire situation, my Chandela has only been feeding on departed souls. It would be terrible if my partner preyed on the passengers, after all. [Besides, feeding on something and then leaving it alive is quite a bit creepier!
As... opposed to halfway-killing them and then, tearing a portal into the spirit world to drag them into by force? Nobori, there is definitely something off about your logic here.]
