WHAT what you want
WHERE where you want
WHEN Day ""135""

[The rain has cleared, but it appears to have left some people with a case of the sniffles! The magic sniffles. Even if you've never been sick a day in your life, you might not find yourself immune. Then again, maybe you have a terrible immune system and you're fine. I'm not the magic sniffles police.

Symptoms May Include:

- runny nose
- sore throat
- fever
- thinking you're going to cough or sneeze but actually what comes out is A BURST OF THE TRUTH
- waking up in someone else's bed
- joint aches

At least the sketchy pop-up pharmacy at the mall has a special on tissues and nyquil?]

[murmuring a "hmm" sort of noise before he speaks again]

An entire lemon, raw.

If that works, I'll do it.

Peel, pith, and all.

[very serious.]

You eat the peel? Just take a bite out of it?

[okay now he's like giggling into her arm. nonstop.]

This is why I don't trust you.

You don't know that it doesn't work. It might. You should try it.

[ she will probably notice the little tortoiseshell cat with angel wings curled up between her and the nearly-naked young man next to her before she notices Juliet himself, but hey, who knows. ]

Are you trying it?

Why would I do that?

[definitely the cat first. it gets a perplexed look] Huh.

If it worked, you'd be the first person to do it.

[someone is sick enough to actually consider this.]

That's true.

So looks like I'll do it if you do.

[hmm

no

he's just going to cuddle back up]

Yes, that really helps narrow it down.

[just crawls onto the couch face-first. rolls himself onto his side after a moment with a sound of extreme effort. makes a face, like he's going to sneeze—]

Nakia is here. Was here. I slept with Marcel.

[what]

What?!

That's impossible—

[... mew]

...

Which part should I clarify?

[that seems to be okay actually. more slow petting]

'm still gross.

I helped raised a baby. This is nothing.

[fiddling with a kimoyo bead so she can use it to get his vitals instead of hers, let's make sure you're not actually dying]

Is Nakia here or not? When did she get here? Did you give your own blood as a courting gift?! Is that what I was enabling?

[she sounds absolutely delighted]

[he's not actually dying, he literally just has a tiny cold with the side-effect of random confessions.

if she checks his logs though, he absolutely has an obvious sex-related spike in heart-rate from two days ago]

The day before yesterday. I encountered her after we split up with Erik. She wasn't pleased. I'm not sure where she went off to after.

And no. The blood and the intercourse are separate matters.

This is leaking from the face. It's gross.
