Does anyone know any human cures for sneezing and coughing? I seem to have come down with something, and there aren't any troll remedies available r-r-right... n-n-n-...

[Cue a thunderous sneeze, and then the audio cuts out.]

[Kinda... panicked looking over here.]

DON'T SNEEZE. YOU'LL DIE.

[Staying audio because he looks like crap right now.]

What?

[faygot]

[Of course he looks like crap, he is dying.]

Don't motherfuckin' sneeze, okay? I'm telling you. It'll all like make your fuckin' pan implode [he adds some flailing gestures for clarification.] and you'll fuckin' kick the wicked shit.

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Who told him that?]

I'm not dying, Highblood, I just have a c-c-c...

[Another thunderous sneeze, then a loud honk! as Equius blows his nose.]

A cold.

[faygot]

[Doctor Alpha. He also gave Gamzee a pet.]

No, man, the dude before said like if you sneeze you are done for it. End of the motherfuckin' line. It's real serious.

[He's just looking real worried here.]

switching to video;

[stayb100ponyboy]

I spent all day yesterday sneezing and coughing, and I'm still alive today.

[Maybe it would be reassuring if the Highblood could see him? Equius switches to video, and... no, that's pretty much the opposite of reassuring. He's a troll again, but he looks terrible; his hair is tangled and sticking out in all directions, his skin is a paler gray and the bags under his eyes are bigger and darker than usual, and his nose is deep blue and dripping.]

See? I'm fine.

[faygot]

[God, not helpful at all, man]

But that dude was a motherfuckin' doctor. They know shit about being sick and dying.

video;

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Wait, a doctor told him that?]

I can't stop, though.

I don't... I don't think I'm dying...

[Starting to sound doubtful here.]

video;

[faygot]

But your pan will fuckin' implode. I mean, shit, I like your pan. It is way fuckin' better when it is not all imploded. Like, we would we even all keep your motherfuckin' shades?

[stayb100ponyboy]

[... whaaat?]

Highblood. I'm not dying. I'm j-j-just...

[Just sneezing again, several times in rapid succession this time.]

video;

[faygot]

Knock that off.

[He is really really worried. Also not remembering that Terezi and Karkat et all, survived a similar cold just a few months back.]

video;

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Nooo, Highblood, don't cry!]

I can't help it, I can't just stop...

[Pause to blow his nose into a towel.]

Look, do you want me to come over there? To prove to you I'm not dying?

video;

[faygot]

[Fuck you, it is his world and he will cry if he wants to.]

Bro, you shouldn't all be hoofing it anywhere when you are like dying and shit. I can come over there.

video;

[stayb100ponyboy]

I told you, I'm not dying!

[Oh, but the Highblood wants to come over to his hive? Oh okay that's awesome acceptable.]

If you're coming over, just let yourself in. I don't want to get out of bed.

video;

[faygot]

[Too bad, so sad, pony boy. He's bringing Wataru to attend your funeral healing.]

Aight. I'll be there real quick, okay? Don't die.

video;

[stayb100ponyboy]

[What Watarulusus OH NO HE'S GOING TO LINE-FACE AT HIM!!]

Okay. I promise not to die in the next few minutes.

[With that, Equius turns off his SFC, rolls over in his bed, and pulls the blankets up over his shoulders.]
