Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired

[egotrigger]

Characters: Allelujah Haptism and you!
Setting: The stairs. Mostly in the upper levels near the dorms.
Format: Either's fine.
Summary: Allelujah's sick. He's being a stubborn ass about it and trying to go about his business anyway.
Warnings: Possible swearing, also good chance of body fluids.


It's been a long time since Allelujah's been even remotely sick from something other than utter disgust at his or someone else's actions. He just doesn't get sick, which is why he's ignored his symptoms for a few days.

His entire body feels heavy, but he has to keep working out, which is why he heads down the stairs, intending to go to the gym. His body has other plans, however, which is why when he starts to step down the stairs his legs just simply give up. He drops to the ground, shivering.

"What… what's going on?…"

"D'you need help?"

Labrys blinked bright red eyes, leaning forward with the faint whirring of gears and mechanisms beneath a school uniform.

"Y' ain't lookin' so great."

[egotrigger]

He looked up, trying to make sense of what he was seeing.

"I... I don't get sick, so why am I..."

[fuhgeddaboudit]

"Take it easy, alright?" She knelt down next to him--careful not to touch if she could avoid it, metal hands were damned cold in weather like this.

"D'you think you can stand? We should getcha back to your room and figure it out there."

[egotrigger]

"... I don't know." If everything could stop wavering for a minute, maybe he could figure it out. He could hear Hallelujah's voice echoing in his head, mocking him for being weak enough to fall, and he leaned on Labrys for a moment in order to attempt to push himself up.

"Sorry..." He pushed harder than he meant to, but still it wasn't enough to keep him standing for more than a second or two.

[fuhgeddaboudit]

"I can probably pick y' up if y' can't walk."

Spoken as if that was completely normal, of course.

"I mean, if ya don't mind me bein' pretty darn cold. Can't really help it, I'm made outta metal."

[lightofhumanity]

"You are terribly ill. That is what's going on." chaos, who had been coming down the stairs from the research library, had noticed that Allelujah was collapsing. Not one to leave a sick man, he had rushed to his side, and now had his hand on his back. He was using his power to slightly heal the man and warm him up. If it worked, it should last for three hours.

"Where is your dorm room? If you tell me, I can take you there. You are in no shape to be walking about."

[egotrigger]

He looked up at chaos, trying to protest. "I don't... get sick, though. It... shouldn't be possible." At least not without some serious resistance from his own body...

"Uh... 1-04... I think..." It was hard to think of anything right now aside from how much his limbs hurt and why he kept shivering.

[lightofhumanity]

"Almost everyone gets sick every now and then. You appear to be no exception to the rule."

chaos then nodded and attempted to pick up the man and carry him over his shoulder. He wasn't sure how well this would go over though..

"Alright then. We do not have to travel far then. Please, just close your eyes and sleep. I can take it from here."

[egotrigger]

He'd object, but he didn't really have the energy to do it. His height might be a problem, though.

"I shouldn't, though... not with all the enhancements..." Ugh. Hallelujah taunting him in his head didn't help either.

"... chaos, right?"

[swordofzero]

Suzaku is another too stubborn to admit he is ill, he's been concentrating on looking after Nunnally and himself getting ill is just an annoyance. When he sees the man fall on the stairs he goes over, "Can you stand?" He reaches down to help him up.

[egotrigger]

"I should be able to..." He braced himself against Suzaku and attempted to lift himself, but his legs collapsed under him once more.

"... I don't understand..." How did he get so sick? It didn't make sense.

[swordofzero]

Suzaku bent down quickly to catch him, "I may be able to lift you, there's an illness going around and it seems to be hitting people hard."

[egotrigger]

"Mm. I shouldn't be able to catch any illnesses, though." He wrapped an arm around the other's shoulders to steady himself.

uvu hi roommate

[knightime]

Dave has barely been in the dorm room once his symptoms started to worsen, opting to trying to try and stay away from where there might be more people in more concentrated areas, but he still had to head back to the dorms once in awhile to sleep, lest he get dragged back by one of the units.

"You catch what everyone else is catching?" Dave had his arms folded over his chest, but it was to try and retain heat. He was shivering up a storm even with him trying to wrap his cape around him. "You want help back up?"

Hi roomie~

[egotrigger]

"I couldn't have..." Allelujah looked up at Dave, shaking his head slowly. "I don't get sick..."

And yet here he was, collapsed on the stairs. "... I'd appreciate help..."

[knightime]

"This place never really discriminated. If it wants people to get sick, I guess it's going to make sure that happens. Ain't it a load of shit."

Dave holds out his hand to the other. "I guess it doesn't really make a difference if we're both sick. I can help you back to our room."

[egotrigger]

He nods, and takes Dave's hand. He tries not to hold on too tightly and just lift himself up.

"Thank you... Dave, right?"

[sawthelockdown]

[Oh hey there, Haptism. There's a tiny overlord who isn't looking so good herself, even if she is wearing her giant cloak/cape thing. When she sees the collapsed guy, of course, she walks over to try and help haul him back up.]

You're sick, that's what's going on. Why aren't you resting?

[egotrigger]

[With her demonic strength she pulls him up easily. His eyes widen in confusion. Huh...]

But... I don't get sick...

[sawthelockdown]

[That sounds like newbie talk, so she may as well ask-]

You do here. How long have you been here, anyway?

[egotrigger]

About... two months...

[He kind of avoided people when he saw they were going psycho because seriously what.]

[heavenscorpse]

"Allelujah!"

A concerned V/V flies to his side, literally, and starts trying to pick him up.

"Are you okay?"

[egotrigger]

He looks up at her, and pushes her hands away a little. "Don't... you're going to hurt yourself..."

[heavenscorpse]

"Well, so are you," she answers. "What were you trying to do?"

[egotrigger]

"Trying to get down to the gym..."

And that's working out so well.
