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?]

[he is trying really hard not to laugh

good thing he also has a little kitten sneeze to put him in his place]

[whatischeers]

Be careful. This--[♥AHCHU♥]--must be contagious.

[sniff...le]

[willnotwatch]

That's impossible—

[... mew]

[whatischeers]

[oh good, I'm not the only one sneezing like a kitten]

Why would you say that? Illnesses are common among large populations.

[willnotwatch]

I am generally immune to such inconveniences—

[sniffle.]

[whatischeers]

So am I. I have not been this sick since I was a child.

[mutual miserable sniffle]

[willnotwatch]

[he tilts his head, a bit groggy]

This is hardly the best circumstance to meet, but... do you happen to be Gamora?

[whatischeers]

Yes, I am. Who told you?

[willnotwatch]

My little sister, Shuri. She was very impressed by you and your associate—Star-Lord, was it?

[whatischeers]

[sniffles and nods]

Yes. I was told my other companions, Rocket and Groot, fought on Earth alongside some of you.

[willnotwatch]

I haven't yet have the privilege of meeting them, and I'm afraid my experience of the recent battle on Earth was... limited.

[whatischeers]

Are you also a researcher, like your sister?

[willnotwatch]

[he laughs at that, light]

Hardly. She would tell me I'm not thorough or inquisitive enough. I'm a politician, at best.

[whatischeers]

And your name?

[willnotwatch]

T'Challa.

[there's a sense of pride when he offers it. he is the son of his parents, after all.]

[whatischeers]

[kinda cute...]

It's nice to meet--[♥CHU♥] Ugh.

[willnotwatch]

[offering a clean handkerchief. it's black and embroidered with purple.]

Likewise.

[whatischeers]

[she takes it and sniffs it to check for poison--not being deliberate about it really, just on instinct, and then blows her nose]

Thank you. You're remarkably fit, for a politician.

[willnotwatch]

[yeesh your life]

I'm also a part-time warrior.

[whatischeers]

That's more along the lines of what I expected.

[willnotwatch]

All the rulers of Wakanda are. It is our way.

[whatischeers]

[sniffle]

So you're a monarch, a politician, and a part-time warrior. What's it like? Wakanda.

[willnotwatch]

The sunsets there are the most beautiful on earth.

Everything else, we're working on.

[whatischeers]

You must be proud of your country.

[willnotwatch]

Yes, but I hope not unduly so.
