[ 32 ] accidental video

[shockinglycool]

[ CLATTER-Sorata drops his communicator. It doesn't fall far-only a foot or so-and lands at an awkward angle, video turning on in the process to reveal him pretty clearly, if sideways (and also the couch and wall). First clue that something is wrong: he's sleeping on the couch, not on his little corner of the kitchen floor in Latimir 107. Second

What the hell happened to you? This can't just be from before...

[shockinglycool]

[ What...? You wanted a reply...? Silence, but because he's out of it / has a very high fever right now. ]

[prodigal_axe]

... [Well now he doesn't want to wake him up. He speaks more quietly now.]

I hope you're not by yourself, sick like that...

[shockinglycool]

[ A sort of creaking sound as he shifts a little on the couch. He's not so much asleep as deeply out of it... did he hear something, or is he imagining it...? Hm... ]

[prodigal_axe]

[So now he's stalking worrying just kind of watching him there.]

...

[shockinglycool]

[ Well, if no one is saying something, he must have imagined it. Shifts a little more. ]

[prodigal_axe]

[After going through this post a bit, he notice's that Kuu's with him. Slightly less worried... He figures he'll make one last try at saying something, then let it rest if not.]

Hey... anyone hearing this?

[shockinglycool]

[ Have an unclear grumbly noise. Okay. He's hearing something. When did Shinji get here...? Oh, wait... communicators... Pause. What was the question again? ]

No.

[prodigal_axe]

...Are you talkin' in your sleep or something?

[shockinglycool]

Can't, when people keep waking me up. [ A weak laugh that turns into a bad-sounding cough. ]

[prodigal_axe]

Tch. I'll leave you alone, just... Kuu's there, right?

[shockinglycool]

... She shouldn't be. [ Again, vaguely said. ]

[prodigal_axe]

Better than you laying around by yourself like that.

... I'm gonna bring you guys a few things.

[shockinglycool]

If she catches it... Any of 'em...

[ Drifts into a silence. He won't argue, but he's not too sure about that, either. ]

Same t'you.

[prodigal_axe]

You can't catch food poisoning. And if you've got... that other shit going around, I'm pretty sure that's magic.

[He's quiet for a minute or so.]

Just rest. Warn the kid I'm coming, if you get a chance.

[And he's gonna bring some of that ginger tea, juice, soft canned fruit and fever reducing stuff out of the bar's medical kit.]

[shockinglycool]

[ And he's gonna feed it all to the nine thousand girls he lives with. ] Still... What if it isn't...? I worry...
