J wake the beep up. There's pizza. =|

[mutedbackbeat]

Derrick had spent several hours in bed listening to music until his energy had really started to return and the overall terror that the Music had been trying to kill him had retreated to the back of his mind. He finally let himself fall into a decent sleep. When he woke, the medical staff member that had tagged along for Derrick's health was amazed that he seemed well enough to come off the IV and even push himself around in a wheelchair. He could finally stop being bedridden completely

Dang it Derrick let me sleep- wait what pizza

[musicalmesmer]

Derrick had been right about a few things: J hadn't been sleeping well ever since Derrick had wound up in the infirmary, and recent events certainly hadn't been helping things. After they'd arrived at the hotel, the first thing he'd done was make sure Derrick and everyone who had come with them were alright. The second was to track down Starr and Foxx and make sure they were holding up alright. The greater part of his worries abated, the last thing he did was flop onto his bed and simply collapse into unconsciousness, not even stopping to enjoy the Music. Goodness knew he needed the rest.

He had no idea how long he'd been asleep. All he knew was that he was waking up to the smell of what was unmistakably pizza, coupled with insistent reminders from his stomach that, while sleeping was nice and all, he really needed to eat too. He blinked a few times, the pizza slice above his face and the person holding it slowly coming into focus. "You better plan on sharin' that."

Yes pizza. Wake up. =|

[mutedbackbeat]

"Pizza party," Derrick said as he pulled the slice away from his face and took a bite. He wasn't going to share this slice.

Then he put the piece on the plate on his lap, wheeled himself near the door, and went back to munching on his pepperoni. Derrick also expected J to push his wheelchair back to the party.

Well why didn't you tell me that sooner :|

[musicalmesmer]

He sat up slowly, rubbing his forehead, trying to wake up enough to process what Derrick was saying and the expectancy in his roommate's tune. "You're kiddin'," he managed. "I gotta work for it?"

He blinked a few times, considered his options, and flopped back over on the bed, face down. Sleep first.

Already did. Pizza. Go. =|

[mutedbackbeat]

Derrick thoughtfully chewed another bite of his pizza. He... guessed he shouldn't bother J really. Placing the pizza back on the plate, Derrick then reached for the door handle. He'd have to wheel himself back to the room and rest when he got back there before eating more pizza. "See you there, then."

There were a bunch of hungry mutant teenagers in a roomful of pizza boxes. There was never enough pizza, even if one thought there would.

Jeeeeeeeez fiiiiiiiiiine

[musicalmesmer]

After all this time, J really should have figured that Derrick didn't function like his little brother. Daniel would have turned around and whined at him to get up. Derrick just called his bluff.

Well that wasn't what he'd been going for at all.

"Hang on." He pushed himself back up into a sitting position and shook his head. "I'll go with you. Just gimme a minute."

Pizza gonna be gone. =|

[mutedbackbeat]

"You sure?" If J wanted to sleep more, maybe Derrick should have let him sleep more instead of coming over.

Suddenly his nice idea to wake J up for the party didn't seem so nice anymore. "Can try grabbing some slices for later for you." He could fill up a box, maybe, and wheel it over. Maybe.

Hey now I already said I was coming

[musicalmesmer]

"Nah, don't worry about it." He ran a hand through his hair, realized he honestly didn't care if it was a mess, and got up, heading over to Derrick and taking ahold of the handles on the wheelchair. "Can't let you have all the fun, can I," he teased.

Pizza now time. =|

[mutedbackbeat]

"Right..." Derrick let J start to push him out of the room. Fun... he didn't know if he'd call it that. "It's in Room [#]."

This wheelchair only goes so fast, you know :|

[musicalmesmer]

"Gotcha." He checked his pocket for his key and headed down the hall, pushing Derrick ahead of him and following his nose and the Music to the party. "How're you holdin' up?"

This here is Mona's Pizza~ makers of the world's best pizza~

[mutedbackbeat]

"All right..." Derrick didn't feel like saying much more. He didn't want to think about it.

...You lost me.

[musicalmesmer]

That didn't sound too good, in more ways than one. Huh. Now was likely not the best time to dig, but he wanted to make sure his roommate was okay. "At least tell me the Music's doin' you some good."

I've decided that's where Reki got the pizza =|

[mutedbackbeat]

"Yeah." Derrick was listening to as much music as he could. By now, he had realized that the glowy things weren't appearing, so he could without having to worry about them. The music was helping feel more energetic. And the Music here wasn't hurting him.
