Even the Reaper can get sick...

 Characters: Hei and you
Setting: Cafeteria
Format: Prose, but taggers choice afterwards
Summary: Hei starts being stubborn and tries to fix himself up.....and fails.
Warnings: sick Hei

Being sick and useless never sat well with Hei. After a few days battling this illness and rest, there was no improvement, his condition growing worse. And with constant fatigue and a running fever, of course he was bound to make both logical and illogical actions. He couldn't rely on anyone taking care of him. No one ever did that. There was help, sure, but actually taking care of him? Aside from memories of his sister, Amber, and even Yin helping him, there was no one he could fully trust. Kirika maybe, but he also didn't desire to be a burden either.

So there he was in the kitchen, fixing up a lot of things he gathered from hunting. Surprisingly, he was not dizzy from it all...yet. Naturally, there had been the meat he had hunted from the deer, and he wore his mask. It was the only thing he could use to make the food without sneezing on it. As for meat, well, it was important to get in some protein. And without things like peppers and other vegetables, options were more limited. Chicken soup would have been the best thing. Even orange juice would be good.

He holds his head as he flips the meat. It was clear the guy was getting dizzy after moving around so much. He sighs heavily, hand wanting to massage his temples, and couldn't thanks to the damn mask. He made a mental note to make a mouth and noseguard mask for this situation. So much for being in shape to prevent more illnesses.

Then again, it was obvious the scientists were at fault.

I see... So you were in that place too. So, you are a clone?

[fusedstars]

Yes.

[tempus_scorpius]

Were you there long?

[fusedstars]

For months. Unfortunately, I was cast into this place, and supposedly died over there.

[tempus_scorpius]

You came here because you died over there?

[fusedstars]

There were complications. To simplify it, the clones are unstable to a disease, and it forces us to sleep for extended periods of time. However, it can also kill us.

[tempus_scorpius]

... does that disease still affect you here?

[fusedstars]

It does. Some of us seem to fall into it at random.

[tempus_scorpius]

...

... how many of you are there here from that place?

[fusedstars]

Unknown. Less than ten, most likely close to five right now.

[tempus_scorpius]

I see. You aren't really close to them then?

[fusedstars]

Not to all of them. My mistake. Was too distrustful.

[tempus_scorpius]

Too distrustful?

[fusedstars]

Hard not to be when you do not know the situation, nor the people around you.

[tempus_scorpius]

I see... Can't you patch things up with them?

[fusedstars]

Not everyone from the facility is here.

[tempus_scorpius]

Well, with the ones that are then...?

[fusedstars]

[Hei sighs; Rolo wasn't getting the picture.]

The number of facility members in this tower remains at four at best, including myself. Two I am already affiliated with, and one who wishes to keep her distance. That is all there is here, nothing more.

[tempus_scorpius]

Ah, I see. And one of the two you're affiliated with in Kirika.
