Jovin had been digging through his stuff, before blinking and beginnint to walk back up to the right chain. "Oh nice, thats handy. And... yeah. can't tell ya specifics cause of the trousers of time and don't want to split things off but... things be better. And Quiet." He looks towards Rise, hoping that he didn't say too much... before getting beaned by the pain-med bottle followed by warm coffee, eyes widening when they see rise is off balance, rushing up to steady them, hands coming up to support them.

Rise is fortunately kept up by Jovin's efforts. However, the pokeball Rise was holding goes tumbling. Feeling the fall, the pokeball is forced open, revealing Gallade! He leaps up towards the chain, a few links below the group. He easily senses the distress of his trainer and begins jumping and climbing upwards to assist Jovin with Rise.
Soon enough, Rise is back in a stable spot, but they are clearly not in the right shape to be calling the shots right now. Gallade stays by their side for physical and emotional support.
Of course, Brae's support from across the network helps a lot too.
"...thank you."

Jovin tensed up as the pokeball drops before breathing a sigh of relief as the green pokemon saved themselves and helped him, gently helping them back up, eyes narrowed in concern. "Okay, ya are NOT in a good state..." He takes out a bottle of advil, free hand pressing against their forhead to check their tempt "...Man, ya be chilly. And don't worry bout the stuff ya dropped. Ya more important."

It is hard to tell if their temperature is higher or lower than usual. Have you ever checked their temperature before? It is however noticeable that their skin has a rougher texture than possibly expected, though likely not by much.
Not too long after, Rise begins sobbing. To those able to sense their emotions, it's apparent that it's out of gratitude for delivered warmth, and a subtle sense of being overwhelmed by numerous factors.
"What am I even doing... I can't save anyone like this... Have I really gotten too soft?"

Patrick gives Rise a hug. "You can do it FI, we're here to help you."

Jovin blinks, not really sure how hot or cold they should be and also surpised that their skin feels rougher... But he does pats and then hugs Rise gently. "Don't worry... everyone gets an off day, and you already traveled in time twice... And hey, we be here to help out. We be a team." He pulls back, before pulling out a canteen of water and opens the bottle of pain meds. "Take these at least... should help a bit."

Rise isn't usually used to so much physical contact, but at this point they need it. Messages of encouragement from everyone in contact with them give Rise the strength to find confidence again.
All these people are here to work with you, for a cause that you believe in.
A memory of the epiphany they had on top of Mt. Coronet comes to mind, when their pokemon carried them through their trials and even lead them to their bedroom when it was all said and done. Gallade gives Rise a thumbs-up.
Rise hugs RN and Jovin.
"...thank you. I'm glad you're here with me."
Rise accepts the advil and the water, and thankfully does not wind up causing another accident. They hand the things back to Jovin and check their Bag for something. A super potion. They spray it on and its a bit much at first, but it seems to be helping. They then equip their white mid-length coat.
"...Alright. I think I can handle things now. RN, while you haven't reached the point in the timeline where you personally rescued Dylan from a horrorterror yet, just the fact that you're here to rescue him from a voidco recruiter even before that will help a lot with your credibility with talking to him. Offer Dylan your Hope. Jovin, You said you've mostly got buffs and debuffs, right? We're likely to need debuffs on this enemy. I'm not entirely sure how hittable someone with a dark aura like that, but maybe you can make a dent with your Rage. As for me, I've got my pokemon as mentioned before, and can make a pretty decent distraction if needed. I can buy Time. Any questions?"

Patrick nods. “Just let me know when it’s time to head down there.”

Jovin nodded, letting out a little sigh of relief as rise collects themselves and takes the pain meds, listening as they talk. “Makes sense… I’ll do my best to keep their attention on me- and even if can’t debug them, call roar pretty loud and try and deafen them, or shoot lighting at that.”

Rise glances about for whatever didn't get knocked down earlier. Not much sticks around on a curved surface during a snowstorm.
"...Alright, let's move out."
"Gallade!"
During this time, the wind finally slowed down, making it far less of an obstacle.
Rise looks to the others first before leaping off the chain into flight. Gallade hops down the chain links first before dashing at ground level, in the snow.
Rise flies towards the dream dome, expecting the others to follow.

Patrick flies after Rise, his armor’s rocket boots kicking on for added momentum.

Jovin waits a few moments, checking to make sure his poke balls are still there amd patting them before standing up and stretching…
Before he takes a lazy leap into the air, chain moving a bit, rising and then falling in the air, before gliding along side the other two, still looking like he’s in mid leap- he never got the hang of flying, but jumping he could do easily.

After a flight with minimal incident, Rise and the others land back in front of the dream dome. Gallade takes a minute to catch up on foot.
Rise takes a deep breath.
"...okay. First of all, if anyone dies permanently here... I'm dooming the timeline until we get an outcome where we all survive. Got that?"
Rise takes a moment to let the gravity of their statement sink in.
"Secondly, do either of you two want to start the confrontation asleep?"

“I’m honestly more worried about you two- I’m pretty damn hard to kill. And uh alright… don’t like dooming folks but…” he shrugs “dreaming thing does sound like a gild buff but… with my headspace, not sure if I’d be the only one dreaming if that makes sense…” he shrugs, stretching as he pulls out a metal bat. “Should be okay with the dream buff but uh expect some weirdness…” he warns
