Alice felt like death warmed over.
It was an expression she was familiar with, having died at least once before, but so far on the island she hadn't come anywhere near feeling this physically wrecked. Her nose was blocked, every time she opened her mouth she coughed, and her head felt as if it had a few liters of extra liquid floating around inside it.
That was what she got for wandering around in the rain, she thought sourly. Other people, crazier people, had been luckier, and how was that fair? At least Alice hadn't been running around naked.
Speaking of naked, she still needed to ask Eden how her audition for the strip club had gone.
A laugh dissolved into a cough, and Alice cringed, hiking her jacket higher up her neck as she trudged toward the Compound. A cup of coffee later she was hunched in a corner of the kitchen, shivering despite the air-conditioned warmth, debating the pros and cons of going to the clinic for some aspirin.
Pro: Aspirin. Less pain. Con: Having to actually talk to a doctor. As a rule, she didn't like going near doctors or clinics of any kind any more. Plus, they were probably sick of dealing with stupid people who had been running around in the rain.
If only Isaacs or that bastard Cain could see me now, she thought sourly. They'd be less than impressed.
She stuck her nose in her coffee and inhaled the steam, shutting her eyes for a moment. Sometimes, she missed being more than human.
[OOC: Find her in the kitchen looking miserable! Good time to meet her, despite this. xD]
