text; sickie time

[flyingsolos]

How's it look on the healthy front?

[ Maybe he's lucky. Maybe he hasn't Succumbed. ]

[oculusriffs]

pretty cool over here
not to be confused with cold but i think everyones got one of those
judgin by all the noise im hearing from other rooms
what about you

[flyingsolos]

yeeeeah I'm probably one of them.

[oculusriffs]

what
shit really
whats wrong exactly

[flyingsolos]

Headache, chills, aches, being tired, coughing, the works. It's kind of a pain.

[punshots]

okay serious question for you
you know how you can rap stuff into existing?
what if you rapped for like a
wait for it


giant, fire-breathing robot lizard???
like from the movies!
wouldn't that be sick?

[ Not, you know, something practical for right now like an all-cure or something. Why would he think of something like that??? ]

[oculusriffs]

[Prompto .... bro....]

[Prompt...bro...]

[...............]




[nah, you know what? this is the best idea he's heard since they got back to the Temple.]

you mean like a robogodzilla
yeah ok i can do that
gonna have to keep it to a mini invasion though
giant shit isnt really in my repertoire here
like literally
i can only rap up stuff that i can carry

gimme some more details
whats his color scheme
whos his archnemesis
does he have a catchphrase

[oculusriffs]

[god dammit.]

[he’s not mad at her, mind. he’s mad that they’re in this “brought home roberculosis” situation to begin with, and that there really isn’t anything he can do about it.]

ok uh
do you need anything

[flyingsolos]

What's good for colds again? Oranges? Apples?

[punshots]

[ Great ideas, he's full of them! Especially when he's sick as a dog and bored to tears. Gross, clumpy tears... ]

aw man that's probably for the best
just in case he went rogue and tried to kill us instead...

but if he's just a lil guy that changes things!
like i think he should definitely be purple and green
with a little blue and orange and red
maybe some yellow

[ that is literally every color ]

and even though he has a troubled past and grew up on the streets, i like to think he's one of the good guys
even though he invades cities...



...it's only cities of bad guys
like, daemon cities!

also his catchphrase is "i'm hungry...hungry for JUSTICE!"
how does that sound?

[oculusriffs]

[uh. welp. when in Astoria's Rome. Astoriome? stop trying to portmanteau, Dave.]

[also, when Prompto mentioned it basically being every color, he immediately imagined a tie-dyed lizard. so that's also a thing that's about to happen.]

thats just the exact amount of detail i need to work with
you gonna come meet your new son or what

[oculusriffs]

[... ping!]

apple juice
give me like five minutes ill bring you some

[flyingsolos]

I sense a trend with you.

[oculusriffs]

i havent heard of a single problem that a bottle of aj cant solve
colds
wars probably
cold wars even
find a surprise apple juice in your closet and its like fuckin christmas
better than any dumb shitty holiday toy trend by a mile
but especially furbies

[yeah, Dave was just babbling via text at her the entire time he was gathering up an appropriate amount of apple juice. because at around the five minute mark, there he is at her door.]

[flyingsolos]

[ Incredible. Rion can't even comment on the furbies because suddenly he's at her door, and she's opening it.

She definitely looks like she's dealing with a bad cold, but don't say that to her face. ]

So now I know what to get you for Christmas.

[oculusriffs]

[... why, what's she gonna do if he says it to her face? Dave, uh. sort of has a poor brain-to-mouth filter.]

Furbies, right. [he says it a bit deadpan, as he holds out the cold-fighting goods. it's a bottle of apple juice from the special reserves. you know, the magic void!]

[flyingsolos]

And a stocking full of apple juice.

[ But bless Dave, she's just going to accept that with no complaints whatsoever. ]

[oculusriffs]

[oh man, Rion would be giving him the chance to hold a bottle of apple juice up triumphantly, saying that it is, in fact, actually fucking Christmas up in here.]

Looking forward to it. You gonna be all right?

[which comes a lot more morbid than he intended. he just means to ask if she needs anything else.]

[flyingsolos]

I think I'll manage to avoid dying.

[ dryly. ]

[punshots]

umm is water wet???

...never mind don't answer that it's been a point of contention recently
i'll be right over!
oh but jsyk i'm super sick
like SUPER
what about you?

[oculusriffs]

I'm holding you to that.

[said with an equal measure of dryness and a note of ... dead ... seriousness.]

What I meant though, was, did you want anything else? [Dave is entertaining company, at least, if he isn't an effective gopher.]

[oculusriffs]

i wont answer that but i will ask
because what the fuck

im fine though
actually
wait like fifteen minutes

[let him slap this rhyme together, stand and gawk at his creation, then dig up some batteries he's surely got lying around in his disaster of a room to get the guy going.]

[and pretty much fifteen minutes on the dot, there's a thud at Prompto's door. and perhaps a muffled, robotic sounding voice.]

[a muffled voice that's hungry for justice.]

[flyingsolos]

Do you think generic cold medicine works on robot flu?

[ She can at least sound hopeful. ]

[oculusriffs]

Don't see why not.

'Course, that comes with the caveat that I have no idea what's in cold medicine, so you'd basically be puttin' faith in the idea that whatever void I'm pulling this rhyming shit from will know.

[flyingsolos]

If it won't kill me, I'd risk it. Besides, it's coming from you, and I'd trust you with my life.

... If it makes me loopy, though, no blackmail.
