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?]

I'm not. Just an observation.

I am everything Thor will not allow himself to be.

So, how to wrest all the powers of creation from a big purple alien, then?

[that's gross, but Valkyrie is also gross, so it doesn't really register with her. paying up and heading out of the store towards the apartments.

and trying to suppress a sneeze—]

—it's good having a training partner with a different style.

[ehh, she didn't mean to say that and wouldn't have bothered ever mentioning it on her own, but also, that's fine]

You must be proud of your country.

No. I don't know if he has parents. But we all took a part in raising him, after he died. He's around here somewhere, probably with Rocket.

Is that what he said?

[weak ♥ahchu♥]

I hate everything.

Usually I remember how someone ended up in my bed...

Well, that's not important!

[ cautiously reaching out to feel her forehead ]

...sorry, I didn't quite... follow that.

[ He sniffles but doesn't reach for it yet. ]

How... how are you still the same?

Are you asking me why I'm healthy?

[ A groan is all she gets in response, as if to say "yes". ]

Luck, probably.

[ Snorts... which is a mistake as this time he does have to shakily reach for the tissues this time and kind of half roll to do this properly. ]

[eww]

All right, you stay right where you are! I'll be back in a minute.

[gonna go make him some tea]

[ Gross ... man flu

]

Right.

[ Except as soon as she walks off he's trying to roll back off the bed to head back to the portal so he can try again--sadly he's weaker than he thinks and just falls onto the floor. ]

[ HE DIDNT LEAVE jfc he's not that heartless thank you very much he's in the living room though he does knock and poke his head into the bedroom when he hears her ]

You're awake.

[she comes back when she hears the thud]

Do I need to sedate you?

[gross congested sniffling]

Yeah... thanks for uh.

[handwaves at the bed. and the tea. and then stops with her hand in mid-air with her face screwed up like she's gonna sneeze.

except instead of a sneeze, what comes out is—]

—I love you.

[ He half laughs, half gives a pathetic sniffle at that. ]

Oh, just try it.

[ IS THIS REALLY THE TIME... ]

--Excuse me?

Come on, fighty.

[going down on one knee to help him up off the floor]

Makes two off us.

[unsurprisingly, she's warm. very warm]

Is it bad?
