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

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.]

Are you sure?

[Tohko isn't really convinced..]

I'm sure.

[She sounds a little less sure than before.]

Really..if you're sick, I could grab some books for some or something to occupy your mind while you rested. And I could do your patrols.

We've been through that, it'd be inconvenient and not very effective.

[Eleanor shrugs again.]

It wouldn't be inconvenient for me..and if you keep going like this, you're going to fall down the stairs.

I'm not going to--

[You mean fall down the stairs like this?]

[Yes, like that. Tohko quickly grabbed her before she fell too far down and started helping her out.]

You just did! Please, let me take you back to your dorm room.

...that was a fluke.

[Eleanor is being petulant and cranky.]

I don't think it was. And, even if I am wrong, another 'fluke' might strike you again, and getting injured when you're already sick won't do you any good.

But--

[Going to bed. Being lazy. DNW! Serious DNW!]

No buts! You're resting, and that's final! You do need it, you know.

[And with that, Tohko will try to pull one of Elanor's arm's over her shoulder and keep it there so that she can support some of her body weight. If that works, she'll then start moving down the stairs carefully, so that they both don't fall.]

[You can almost hear her roll her eyes.]

Oh fine.

[Rather than let Tohko carry her weight though, Eleanor wraps an arm around the girl's waist, careful not to stab her with the needle, and then grips her tightly, before trying to teleport them both back to the dormitory levels.]

[Tohko didn't mind the fact that Eleanor wrapped an arm around her waist, and since she was a normal girl, the two would have no trouble teleporting back.

Unless, of course, Eleanor was too sick for it.]

[Eleanor teleports them to the Aquarium floor, for some reason, though mercifully they're on the dry walk-ways and not inside the water.]

...force of habit, sorry.

[The second time, at least, they make it to her room without major inconveniences.]

[When they teleported to the Aquarium floor, Tohko looked around for a moment, only slightly puzzled before quickly speaking.]

Oh, it's alright. Don't worry about it.

[The second time, Tohko looked around at all the beds, not knowing which one belonged to Eleanor.]

Which one is yours?

[Eleanor sighed as she stepped forward to sit on her bed.]

This one.

[She reached up to her neck, fiddling a little before pulling the helmet off. And now, without it, Tohko can see her sulk.]

I still think this is unnecessary.

[Tohko saw that sulk, but she didn't comment on it.]

You may think it's unnecessary, but it's best for both you and the people you protect that you got some rest.

I should be better than this, is all.

[Excuse her while she starts pulling needle and harpoon off.]

Well, a sickness is going around the Tower. I'm not surprised that you caught the bug too. However, if you rest up and take some medicine later, I'm sure you'll feel better soon.

If it comes from the Tower itself, I'm not sure how rest will do anything to stop it from doing what they want it to do.

Well, I'm not sure if this does come from the Administrators or not yet. However, even if it did, some rest may do you some good.

Alright, alright. But you should probably heed your own advice then. Being so close to me might get you infected.

Oh, don't worry! I'll be fine! I don't get sick that easily. I just have a little cold right now, so I'll be fine.

[Liar. Tohko had small fevers before today, but she was doing her best to ignore them and press on.]

That is very hypocritical of you.

[Eleanor is not amused, Tohko.]

If I can get sick, so can everyone else.

[At that, Tohko sighed.]

You misunderstood me. I'm not saying that everyone else can't get sick. What I'm saying is that I don't get sick that often, so you shouldn't worry about infecting me. It probably won't happen, and if it does, it won't be your fault.
