[OPEN] I swear to drunk I'm not god.

[thebigsister]

Characters: Eleanor Lamb and YOU.
Setting: All over the Tower.
Format: Action, but I'll match you.
Summary: Eleanor doesn't really know how to handle this flu thing, it's been a long time since she's been sick! Well, conventionally sick that is.
Warnings: Cranky, cranky teenagers who can set things on fire with their minds. Also random teleporting and potential telekinetic shenanigans.

[Eleanor woke up this morning with her head feeling like it was stuffed with wool. That was a novelty of a sort, and not a very pleasant one. She shrugged it off though, not entirely familiar with the whole flu process, though somewhere in the back of her head, several dozen voices whined in unison about how awful it was.

Eleanor got dressed in her suit and as usual set out to wander around the Tower, steps slow and gaunt looming.

Except, even if you're used to seeing her go around by now, you might be surprised to see her stumbling a little, leaning heavily sideways and nearly falling off the stairs more than once. For all intents and purposes, it seems like nearly seven feet worth of drunken diving suit, though of course that's not the case.

Hell, her portholes are glowing blue. Blue. She didn't even know that was a thing that could happen.]

Comments

[thebigsister]

But I'm fine, honest.

[She's totally not.]

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko sighed and shook her head.]

You're not. You keep moving around like you're drunk. If you hit your head on something and pass out, that's not going to help anything. I'll grab some medicine for you, so just let me take you back to your dorm room and rest.

[thebigsister]

I don't think I can take medicine.

[She probably can, but like hell she's taking it willingly.]

It's just something my body needs to deal with. Honest.

[tohko_amano]

How come? And your body will deal with this much better if you're not moving around. What if you stumble again and wind up next to a monster or find yourself falling down a pit?

[thebigsister]

[She's not answering the medicine question, nope.]

It's just better if I'm moving, really. And besides, if I find a monster I'll just set it on fire, and if I'm falling down a pit I'll just teleport away!

[tohko_amano]

But what if you get too sick to do those things? Then what?

[thebigsister]

[Eleanor chuckles wryly.]

I don't think it's possible for me to be too sick to teleport away.

[tohko_amano]

But..what if you're wrong? It's better to be safe rather than sorry, right?

[thebigsister]

Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!

[She sounds terribly confident, save for the continuous swaying.]

[tohko_amano]

But you keep looking like you're going to fall over at any time!

[thebigsister]

But I haven't actually fallen yet, right?

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko sighed.]

No..but you could, and your condition could get worse.

[thebigsister]

Well, many things could happen, but you shouldn't let yourself worry so much about it that you end up doing nothing.

[Sound advice! For when you're not sick, that is.]

[tohko_amano]

While that is good advice, I am trying to get you to rest in your dorm room. I'll bring you some things to keep your head occupied, and I'll even play Othello with you! Just..please, go and rest.

[thebigsister]

But I haven't finished my rounds yet.

[:C]

[tohko_amano]

..Your rounds? Are you a security officer or something?

[thebigsister]

No, but I do rounds every day to see if anyone needs help and such.

[Because she's of so much help right now.]

[tohko_amano]

Tell you what. I'll do your rounds for you if you go rest up. I like helping people, so you don't have to worry about me!

[thebigsister]

Can you kill things?

[This is the most natural question in the world.]

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko gave her a puzzled look as she tapped her daggers. She was glad that she made that belt-it had come in handy.]

I can. I don't enjoy it, but I am capable. Why do you ask?

[thebigsister]

Because my rounds are about killing monsters, more than anything else.

[She shrugs.]

Still not sure you should take my place, though.

[tohko_amano]

Don't worry! I can kill monsters! I've done that before. You don't have to worry about me. I just have a small cold. You go and rest. I'll take care of your rounds for you, alright?

[thebigsister]

...if you're sick too, shouldn't I go out and do my job myself?

[tohko_amano]

I just have a simple cold. You're swaying around like you're drunk. A small sneeze or two isn't going to hurt me. However, when you start swaying without realizing you're swaying, it's usually not a good sign.

[thebigsister]

But I know I'm swaying.

[this is the important bit]

And I'm not drunk.
