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 haven't really missed this.

[ribblerouser]

It's basically impossible to. [leans over and kisses his forehead] Get into bed. Drink some water. I'll get some medicine and be back.

[starspangledman]

[he is so hot right now. he nods, bracing against the wall]

Yeah. Thank you.

[ribblerouser]

You had better be lying down by the time I get back.

[heads out to grab him medicine. After talking with a pharmacist about appropriate human medicine, anyway]

[starspangledman]

[Steve is lying down! in fact, he has straight up passed out on the closest bed he could find]

[ribblerouser]

[puts a wet washcloth on his forehead]

[starspangledman]

[he stirs, but doesn't wake. looks like he's out for a bit]

[ribblerouser]

[well. Will keep track of his temperature and let him rest, but has medicine on hand for when he's awake]

[starspangledman]

[groans when he wakes, pushing himself up, taking in his surroundings]

This isn't...

[ribblerouser]

Oh! You're awake. Can I get some medicine into you? It's lemon-flavored.

[starspangledman]

Mikk?

Yeah—lemon?

[ribblerouser]

It's me. [preps the medicine]

[starspangledman]

Hey. Thank you.

[ribblerouser]

Of course, Steve. I'm here, okay?

[starspangledman]

[lies back down with a groan]

You're here...

[ribblerouser]

I won't leave you alone, okay? I'm sorry I had to go out earlier.

[starspangledman]

[shakes his head a little]

It's all right... I'm used to it, being alone like this...

[ribblerouser]

No, being left alone when you're sick is terrible, so I'd rather not.

[starspangledman]

No, I didn't mean... I'd like it? If you stayed.

[ribblerouser]

Well, good. Because I will. [brushes his hair back]

[starspangledman]

[leans into the touch]

Thank you.

[ribblerouser]

Of course. Let me know anything you need.

[starspangledman]

I can't think of anything right now...
