[After going for a swim in the ocean in late December, Shirley and the rest of her housemates predictably developed pneumonia. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the experiment, they have no idea how they got sick. (Nor, for that matter, does Shirley really know why her kitchen is flooded with tarts ( Read more... )

[also in the grocery store, because since her house has been watching Sophie (with permission!) they need some...kid-friendlier food around. And milk. And hey, aren't you Stella's sister who was also sick?]

[Why, yes, it is. She's staring blearily at her list, looking like she has no business wandering so far from home when she's this sick and trying to remember what else it is that she needs to get. ... it's noodles and garlic, by the by.]

[action] corrinesbell January 7 2010, 04:03:04 UTC

...Hey. Uh.

[action] prayingone January 7 2010, 04:07:53 UTC

Oh... I'm sorry... am I in your way?...

[action] corrinesbell January 7 2010, 04:11:49 UTC

Nope. ...Aren't you Stella's sister?

[action] prayingone January 7 2010, 04:15:45 UTC

Yes... I'm Shirley. You know Stella?...

[action] corrinesbell January 7 2010, 04:16:41 UTC

Yep. We've known each other since she got here. I'm Sheena.

How's she doing?

[action] prayingone January 7 2010, 04:23:04 UTC

Sheena... Sheena... [She makes a thoughtful noise, trying to remember where it is that she's seen the name before. It takes her a moment before she remembers that it's written on a covered plate of strawberry tarts in her kitchen.] ... oh! Um -- ... I ... I think I have a plate of tarts, for you...

She's... still sick, I think?... I... I haven't been able to visit her in a while... [Because she herself is still sick. She sneezes again.]

[action] corrinesbell January 7 2010, 04:25:24 UTC

...You don't live with her? [forgot she knew this already, clearly]

And yeah, usually people as sick as you are don't just go places.

[action] prayingone January 7 2010, 04:39:38 UTC

No... but our houses are close by...

[Shirley blushes, and looks down at her toes.] I'm... feeling much better...

[action] corrinesbell January 7 2010, 04:41:01 UTC

It's kinda hard to lie when you're giving yourself away. Isn't there anyone who can do the shopping for you? If you've got what Stella's got you should be in bed.

[action] prayingone January 7 2010, 05:16:12 UTC

I ... I don't want to rely on Senel for everything...

[action] corrinesbell January 7 2010, 05:17:44 UTC

I get wanting to rely on yourself, but don't you think this is different?

[looking around for a place Shirley can sit down]

[action] prayingone January 7 2010, 05:40:20 UTC

I'm... feeling much better... really...

[You should've seen her earlier this week, Sheena. She isn't lying about that.]

[action] corrinesbell January 7 2010, 05:41:09 UTC

Yeah, but do you feel like you're better?

[action] prayingone January 7 2010, 06:12:10 UTC

I'll... probably take a nap when I get home, but...

[She may or may not be swaying on her feet a little. The lightheadedness is starting to get to her.]
