203 Near Disasters

Accidental Voice Post

[An alarm goes off, an event practically unheard of in Niko's domain. He doesn't need one, because he doesn't sleep in. Usually. This morning, he rolls up on his elbow and needs two tries before he manages to hit the buzzer and not the nightstand, his weary and clumsy effort audible over the feed.]I suppose I'll be keeping ( Read more... )

headache now, dojo, lux, management, shut up and lie down niko, sophia, sometimes he listens to his girlfriend, i'm no superman, medical leave, responsible grown up, ow, mother dearest, being looked after for a change, cal, strict task master, waking up is hard to do

Do you need assistance getting to the Doctor?

voice cal_sitter June 18 2009, 19:51:13 UTC

I'd prefer to manage on my own.

voice missesthestars June 18 2009, 20:00:29 UTC

I understand. And listen to the doctors, there are apparently a number of people that are ill at the moment, not just you.

Something appears to be happening City-wide.

voice cal_sitter June 18 2009, 20:06:03 UTC

That's not exactly comforting.

... nor is the fact that I'm not entirely certain I should be walking down stairs.

voice missesthestars June 18 2009, 20:09:42 UTC

But it does meant that the doctors are being more vigilant now.

Niko, at least call Robin to help you if you can't even walk a flight of stairs.

voice cal_sitter June 18 2009, 20:14:37 UTC

Am I really that stubborn?

voice missesthestars June 18 2009, 20:22:03 UTC

You can be. You've spent your entire life caring for yourself and Cal and tend to be... resistant when anyone tries to help. You don't like relying on others, well, others who aren't Cal.

It's a admirable trait, one I'm genuinely fond of, but a little unnecessary at the moment. If you fall down the stairs, I daresay you be in slightly worse shape than if you simply asked for help.

voice cal_sitter June 18 2009, 20:30:39 UTC

I promise you that I'm not going to fall down the stairs, at least not because of any foolishness on my part.

Re: voice missesthestars June 18 2009, 20:33:52 UTC

Very well.

Do you need me to look after anything?

voice cal_sitter June 18 2009, 20:37:35 UTC

Why don't we wait to find out what the doctor says?

voice missesthestars June 18 2009, 20:40:55 UTC

[have a soft laugh]

I'm nagging, aren't I? I'm sorry, Niko. I'm not used to having this much time on my hands to... worry about things.

voice cal_sitter June 18 2009, 21:17:24 UTC

[faintly amused]

You're nagging, Ishiah's nagging, Kyle is nagging ... even Robin, in his own way, has been nagging.

voice missesthestars June 18 2009, 21:20:57 UTC

Well, I'll try and stop so you can actually get to the doctor.

Just let me know if there's anything I can do to help in the interim. I don't start working regularly until Monday so I have time if you need it.

voice cal_sitter June 18 2009, 21:24:04 UTC

I'm not going anywhere just yet.

What work did you settle on?

voice missesthestars June 18 2009, 21:28:19 UTC

Manager at the Blue Light. Blue seemed quite happy to have the help, and I liked it. True jazz clubs like that are rare.

voice cal_sitter June 18 2009, 21:34:23 UTC

You sound pleased.
