[log] Comorbidity [closed]

Characters: John Watson, Death the Kid, Franken Stein, and Undertaker
Location House 58
Date: Night 171
Summary: This is a house with a lot of problems in it. Watson, Kid, and Stein run into Undertaker for the night.
Warnings: Possible talk of death, morbid discussions.

[A simple single-story building, the snow weighs uneasily on it, and it creaks and groans under the strain at the best of times. It's very dark, and only the kitchen and living room are intact. The kitchen has a back door. Two snowmen have been built outside. A message has been written on the wall in blue ink: "Don't wreck the snowmen! That's super mean!" "ALPHONSE ELRIC, MAMI TOMOE, FREYA CRESCENT, GREED, EDWARD ELRIC, STEPHANIE BROWN, DAY FORTY ONE, TRAVELLING EAST." has been carved into one of the walls. The following has been written on the wall in blue pen: "This is Building 95 97 on the composite map. Contact @CaptSteveRogers for details." Underneath this is a fairly accurate map showing the house in relation to the school and buildings 29, 35, 35, 37, 40, 41, 47, 48, 50, 53. House 34 is labeled "Medical assistance; hot, clean water. Contact Dr. Epps @claytonator". The school is labeled "School. Food available in cafeteria; DO NOT STAY HERE OVERNIGHT." The shed is labeled "Shed".]

[Undertaker hadn't touched the snowmen on his way into the house, though he had paused to admire them. Perhaps he'd come back to add his own, artistic touch to them once he had the right materials. That might be amusing.

He makes it into the house's small kitchen with about an hour to spare before lockdown. It doesn't give him a lot of time to search, though he does come up with a fly swatter. Moving on to the living area, he'd just had a seat on the couch when the sound of voices and footsteps through the snow caught his attention. Cocking his head, he took a few seconds to determine that they were coming closer rather than passing.

Well, it looked like he might have some amusement right now, after all.

Bouncing back up, he quickly pulls the couch away from the wall, giving him just enough room to duck behind and out of sight.]

I have done enough toying with lockdown recently. I do not intend to head anywhere else now.

[He has been physically dragged inside twice now, before lockdown. He does not want a repeat.

As for his backpack, he's eyeing the sofa and trying to decide if there is a way to place it there that would keep Watson in the center and the two packs equidistant from him.]

Oh, I don't know. [Stein says, casually. Mania makes it hard to care about anything, makes it easier to slide into joking comments, and it didn't go away when he died this time. His head is a constant blinding ache, and his hands are clumsy with frostbite that needs to be cut away, and he's exhausted, but he shrugs out of his backpack with a grin, and drops it in a heap on the floor.]

I might need to go collect some more snow.

[As if on cue, a figure comes hurtling over the back of the couch. Undertaker tumbles into the seat next to Watson with more spryness than a person of his frame should have, legs sticking straight out and arms curved over his head in a strangely youthful pose.]

Mind the steps, they're a bit slippery~ Hee Hee Hee!
equal_shots: (Bitch can you not)

[personal profile] equal_shots 2016-10-20 01:39 pm (UTC)(link)
You shouldn't even joke about--

[Really, Kid just wanted to chastise Stein for stressing him out more...until a tall and giggling madman hopped over the sofa and started talking nonsense. The rational part of his mind immediately began to whine about being stuck with another tall crazy man.

The less rational part of his mind immediately assumes the stranger hid for more ominous reasons--he drops his pack and shifts slightly, ready to pounce if need be. For now, though, the teen stays put.]

[Most that travel with Death the Kid are used to his nightly antics. He is an abysmal sleeper and spends much of his time in most buildings rearranging whatever he can find into some semblance of order. Tonight is no different and the kitchen is where he starts, meticulously organizing everything he can find in the mess of a room. He's careful to be quiet, meaning all that's audible is quiet clicking and Kid sometimes murmuring to himself in disapproval. That, and the occasional wracking cough, over which he has minimal control. The teen tries to muffle it with his sleeve, but there's not much he can do to hide the exposure effect.

Altogether, he's fairly considerate of his traveling companions who do sleep more than him. He even works in primarily darkness, using only the light of his tablet to work by.

But it would be nice if you didn't just approach him in silence. You might scare him out of his skin.]

[Undertaker, by comparison, had also been sleeping poorly since arriving. If his bangs didn't hide his eyes so well, the beginnings of dark circles would be plainly visible. He'd at least made an attempt to nod off once night really set in and everyone bedded down, but he'd only caught a few winks before he'd awoken again. That had become the routine for the past week.

The quiet tinkering drew him to the kitchen once he'd decided that trying to fall back under was probably useless for now. Navigating the darkened interior of the house wasn't difficult, and he did so silently until he found the source of the noise.

Kid's only warning would come in the form of a couple shuffling steps, and a finger tapping him on the back of his shoulder. Undertaker spared him the full-on grab that he was typical of, simply because he didn't know the other all that well. But his voice speaks up on the tap's heels, not whispering but not loud either.]


Wot'cher up to? It's a bit late to be redecorating, don't you think?

[Kid whirled to face the relative stranger, startled. He'd been rearranging battered, tarnished silverware and was still holding a spoon--which he in turn brandished as a potential weapon in case the stranger intended harm. In the dim light, Kid is miniature compared to Undertaker, and he doesn't look well either with dark circles under his eyes and little color to his face.

When he recognizes the man, the spoon is lowered, and Kid glances away, taking a step back towards the counter, his back hitting the surface. It's clear he's uncomfortable being caught in the act, particularly by someone he doesn't know well.]


Ah--Yes, I suppose you are right. [In comparison, Kid's voice is quiet. The previously brandished spoon is being tucked back into the drawer from whence it came, and Kid rubs his sleeve across his eyes, blinking.] I hope I did not wake you.
exequies: (When they're on top of you.)

[personal profile] exequies 2016-10-19 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[The taller man just giggled in response to the brandished spoon, hands tucking back beneath his long sleeves before he folded them together.]

No, no harm done. I was already awake.

[He could draw attention to the fact that Kid seems to be be having trouble sleeping, but that would be opening up the opportunity to have it pointed back at him. So he chooses a slightly different observation.]

A bit nasty cough you've got there, though. Are you taking any medicine for it?
equal_shots: (Ahem)

[personal profile] equal_shots 2016-10-19 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kid looks up, blinking, before folding his hands in front of him.] Ah--yes. I have had this for some time. Most medication does not work--

[The shorter teen stops abruptly. He once again forgets that here, medication would work. That his body would not reject it. He clears his throat.]

I have not tried any medicine, no.
exequies: please ask before taking! (mean girls)

[personal profile] exequies 2016-10-19 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's a funny little pause. A highly suspicious one, even.]

Might want to consider it. What might not've worked before might work here, you know?
equal_shots: (Womp Womp)

[personal profile] equal_shots 2016-10-19 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kid shrugs slightly, swallowing. He opens his mouth to answer and instead ends up coughing, tucking his mouth into his elbow.

Breathless:]
It...can be difficult to track medicine down here. And I am unfamiliar with most variations.

[Kid is still wide awake when he hears Watson. He can't make out what was said but the teen heads over from his spot in the kitchen, hesitant and shivering. He's been up either sorting and rearranging or coughing with a fever and talking with Undertaker.

Kid is careful not to be too silent when he approaches. He can't be, coughing a bit as he crouched next to him. His voice is a hoarse whisper:]


Dr. Watson? I...thought I heard yelling. Are you okay?
equal_shots: (Womp Womp)

[personal profile] equal_shots 2016-10-20 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
If you're sure. [Kid settles on the floor beside Watson, frowning. He's not convinced, not now that he understands what the anxiety Watson experiences looks like. Perhaps most ironic is that Kid would benefit from seeing Watson manage his own nerves--but no matter. He won't press and lets Watson move on. If that makes him feel better...

Instead, the teen nods, sheepishly tucking his face into his sleeve as he coughs.]
Ah...yes, sometimes. It's worse at night. [Kid glances away, uncertain.] It keeps getting worse.

MN poisoning? [Kid repeats quietly, in part to try and process the name and in part to commit it to memory. He's shivering from the fever, and tucks his arms around himself in an attempt to ward off the chill. Nothing really helped, but that didn't mean he didn't try.] It's okay. I'm rather used to it by now, and I don't think it keeps Professor Stein up anymore. Or if it does he pretends it doesn't.

Yes. Type D. [Kid pauses.] ...it is a non-human blood type, I know.

[It's a slow and torturous process to watch. Or would be for someone normal, who had more than an ounce of sympathy in their entire body.

Even sitting half-way across the room, eyes hidden behind his bangs it's obvious that Undertaker's watching Watson struggle to feed himself most pathetically. Perhaps contemplating the lack of use in his hands without offering his help.

He takes a drink from a half-emptied bottle of water, plastic crackling softly as the air inside is displaced.]
