[25] awfully tough lately

[coolbowtie]

[Tuesday-Thursday]

[voice]

[The Doctor's voice comes over the line, weak and hoarse, and very much lacking in his usual pep.]I hate milk

Comments

Tuesday; outside 951 Beulah

[destinyrests]

[Merlin's gotten the poisoned milk as well, so he's also feeling miserably sick. It doesn't stop him from staggering around outside, trying to see if there's anyone he can help; he has his magic back in a land where he can actually use it out in the open, he's not just going to lay around uselessly feeling sorry for himself when he could be helping people.

He spots the Doctor in the garage and rushes over as fast as he can.]

Hey! Hey, are you all right?

[coolbowtie]

[Nearly vomits on Merlin before he grabs a bucket. After he's finished, he emits an extremely grumpy "No."]

[destinyrests]

[The Doctor vomiting almost sets Merlin off too, but luckily he manages to hold it down.]

Haha, guess that was kind of a stupid question, huh? Come on, up you go, you can't stay here all day.

[He tries to hoist Eleven partially onto his back so he can support the guy and help him get into the house. As scrawny as Merlin is, he's actually pretty used to lugging around knights in full armor, so an equally scrawny alien won't be that much trouble for him even when he's sick.]

[coolbowtie]

Oi! Let go!

[The Doctor tries his best to jerk away and when he manages, he stumbles back into the wall. The last thing he wants is help from some kid he doesn't even know.]

I'm fine. Just a bit ill. Everyone's been ill before. It's a normal... and disgustingly human thing.

[Phone]

[always1truth]

I never much cared for it either- I prefer orange juice. You know, humans are the only creatures that continue to drink milk after being weened off of breast milk? [not that, that had any relevance to anything.]

No one in my household has had any milk- no one in my household can- the bottle broke this morning- so I just drank Orange juice instead.

[coolbowtie]

Of course, I know that. Another one of you human's ridiculous traits. You're all completely ridiculous.

...Well that's good, except it's actually terrible. The Milkman is going to punish someone in that house.

[always1truth]

I-it was just an accident! Kaito-niichan wouldn't let go when I went to get it this morning.

[coolbowtie]

...Be careful. The Milkman is extremely dangerous.

action; around town

[cueballer]

[Is that man--

ew.

...Uh, he'll just...slowly approach the Doctor, as he finishes the puking, and offer a handkerchief.]

I don't normally do this, but you need it more than I do it seems.

[coolbowtie]

[Well, great now he feels like a total uncool loser. He tries to shoo Doc away and straighten up, but ends up slumped against the nearest lightpost.]

Fine, fine, don't mind me. I'm fine.

[cueballer]

[...Ugh it smells now. This is really disgusting. He's sort of glad he got the normal milk on a test run.]

While I am not completely well-versed on the functions of a human body, I am very positive it shouldn't be throwing up what you ate. [He'll just toss the handkerchief at the Doctor, hoping he'll take it. Seriously clean yourself up man!]

[coolbowtie]

First of all, not human. Second of all, it tends to happen when one's been poisoned. Or when I drink milk. In this case, both.

[He takes it and reluctantly uses it to wipe his face.]

tuesday | around town

[fearcutsdeeper]

[Arya's on her way home from practicing in the park when she runs across the Doctor. She drank the poisoned milk this morning too, but it hasn't quite kicked in yet -- all she feels slightly warm, and a bit of a stomachache.

She doesn't say anything, just stands there and watches him for a moment, frowning. This man doesn't look well at all, but she's more disgusted than sympathetic.]

[coolbowtie]

[The Doctor struggles to straighten up and sees a young girl staring at him. Well that's embarrassing. Life sucks right now. So he snaps at her.]

Yes, can I help you?

[fearcutsdeeper]

[His tone doesn't faze her; in fact, he even gets a little insolent comment in return.]

I think you're the one that needs help.

[coolbowtie]

Me? I'm perfectly fine.

[He turns to walk away and just sort of... topples right over. Stupid fever.]

Well, maybe just a bit dizzy.

action 951 Beulah St;

[decadenzas]

[the phone call stirs up some unpleasant memories of his own run-in with the Milkman in Westport, but instead of bothering to waste his time and breath replying to it, he heads over to the Doctor's house almost immediately. he kind of doesn't sound in the right state to check on anyone currently anyway...

so YEP totally catching the Doctor in a horrible sick state stop leaving your garage open you hooligan.]

You look horrendous. Far worse than I expected.

[coolbowtie]

[SHUT UP CHARLES I LIKE MY GARAGES FREE AND OPEN. He's going to slump against the wall and groan in response to that.]

Glad I could surprise you.

[decadenzas]

You should work on your surprises, this one is terrible. [but he ambles into the garage (since it is free and open!!!) and crouches down next to the Doctor, frowning in displeasure.]

Do you know which sort of milk you drank?

[coolbowtie]

[Grabs his bin and retches. God, he can only imagine how pathetic he looks in terms of how he feels.]

The terrible kind. Except they're all terrible. Ha...
