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?]

When you put it that way, seems to be the way it works most places.

[glancing at Bird. Okay. Well. Going with that.]

It's not sick too, is it?

Nah. He's just dead.

Snuggly for being dead.

He's a good boy who tries his best.

[ reaches over and pats its head. it makes ??? xylophone noises??? roughly in the same tempo as a purr ]

[apparently he is

this is one of the more confusing things Bucky's run into, but not in a bad way]

Seems to do okay.

You seem pretty okay with this whole necromancy thing.

Well...

[a pause]

...Guess technically I'm dead. So.

[things get weird sometimes]

... oh. Uh... yeah? You look great for a dead chick.

To be fair, I don't think the dead thing applies here.

Doesn't seem to be... you're pretty alive.

Even if I don't feel it.

[flopping. being sick is stupid. what's the point of being a super solider if you still get the sniffles?]

[ reaches up to gently pet her hair. ]

You'll feel better soon, I'm sure.

[turning toward the touch with a huff]

Probably. Not a whole lot seems to last.

That good or bad?

[ slow strokes over her hair ]

It just is what it is.

[closing her eyes. That’s nice]

Surely you have an opinion on it?

What good is having an opinion about it gonna do me?

Some people say not having an opinion is just about as good as being dead, y'know.

Maybe this is accurate given your circumstances though...

[...ow. that's rough]

Maybe you're not wrong.

[ ... cuddles a little closer ]

Sorry.

Don't be sorry. [curling up, all clammy and feverish]

Nah. I mean, it wasn't kind to say.

[ petting gently. ]

... maybe we should just go back to sleep.

You want to stay?

[that seems more important than apologies]

Get to cuddle with a cute girl? 'Course I do.

[ teasing a bit, she's mostly just kind of lazily draping her limbs on her due to being feverish and all. ]

[ha]

Not kicking you out.
