[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".]

[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?

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.

I know supplies are limited. It's...not too bad. [Kid is not a particularly good liar. He looks sick, and it's only gotten worse. Between the MN poisoning--causing fevers, chills, coughing fits, dizziness and fatigue--and not eating or sleeping well, Kid is a mess. He doesn't do much of a job of hiding it, either. He glances away from Watson.] It isn't any of the one things, really. But with everything all together...

[Don't question his blood type, dude.]

I've not talked with the Admin, but I wouldn't mind asking. Or, if you've a better relationship, if you asked. [He pauses, hesitating.] If it's remained the same, a transfusion would be out of the question. Professor Stein explained to me the requirements for matching blood once, when Soul needed a blood transfusion.

[Well, he isn't trying to hide that he looks ill, not at the moment when Watson has confronted him about how bad the cough has gotten and that he should probably do something about it. Besides, even Kid knows he's gotten worse lately, and that his poor eating and sleeping habits haven't helped. What reason is there to try and hide that fact when he couldn't, even if he tried?]

I would want people who are more sick to get blood first. [Kid glances away, uncomfortable.] Or more...anything. I understand that this is not the only effect being here causes--I just didn't know the name. [His gaze is on the slumbering Professor Stein, a small frown on his face.] Behavioral changes, for example.

[The hesitance on the teen's face doesn't change. Just after he'd arrived, Stein had lobotomized an unwilling subject, and that was only partly because of MN poisoning. It's not as if Kid isn't aware of the potential ramifications of the doctor remaining as manic as he currently is, or getting worse.

He rubs his eyes, shivering.]
I hope so, Dr. Watson.

Mmm-- [Stifling a cough, Kid nods. The frail teen scoots closer to the doctor and curls up on the floor beside him. It certainly will be warmer with Kid's fever, but at least he's still and quiet aside from the occasional cough.]
