Sick and Tired Of Being Sick and Tired [Open]

Who: Wash and whoever cares to join him
Where: All around the temple
When: After the return from Struxta
Rating: PG?
What: Being sick sucks. Everyone being sick is even worse.

1. Could Be Worse (Week 1)

[It's one thing for the plants to get sick. It's another thing for literally everyone to get sick, all at the same time. It's almost like going to a plague-ridden world unprepared leads to catching the fucking plague.]

[To say Wash is not happy would be an understatement. At least this time around he's not yelling at anyone - instead, he's taken his anger deep into the forest, alone. Astoria couldn't have known beforehand, and none of them were prepared for a plague of all things - the only way this could have been avoided would have been for Astoria not to send them out world hopping at all, which isn't really an option for her. He can't take it out on her; he won't take it out on anyone else; and so he's yelling at a tree. It's wilting in his presence, sure, but they're all doing that and he's refusing to take it as some sort of bullshit metaphor.]


-and we've all come down with a case of who even knows what, and God only knows what's going to happen now, and it's all a bunch of bullshit-

[He stops abruptly, cut off by a coughing fit. God dammit he hates being sick.]

2. Yep, Now It's Worse (Weeks 2 and 3)

[It still feels like the cold from hell, but at least Wash has stabilized. The same can't be said for everyone: fevers, hallucinations, and worse are breaking out, and Wash for one is refusing to let people suffer alone. There may not be much that can be done to lessen the symptoms, but whatever there is, he's doing it to the best of his ability. Right now, he's checking in on someone whose sickness has only gotten worse.]

Hey - how are you feeling?

3. Is Cabin Fever Contagious? (Weeks 2 and 3)

[Wash can only spit into the wind for so long - his attempts to care for those sicker than he is are only so helpful, and he can only do them for so long before he has to step away and convince himself that he is helping and everyone will get better. Somehow. Maybe with magic. He doesn't know.]

[That's the crux of it, really; he doesn't know and it's killing him.]

[So he wanders the temple grounds and the forest outside, looking for anything to take his mind off the situation at hand. Maybe he's exploring a room or a part of the grounds he hasn't seen before; maybe he's checking the kitchen to see if a cure has magically (ha!) appeared; maybe he's in the forest, seeing how close he can get to a tree to study it before it threatens to topple. Could be anything - he just wants to get his mind off how daunting (he refuses to call it hopeless, because they have to be able to do something) the situation at hand is.]

[ That is indeed a bear, who grunts softly and scrabbles at the earth in his sleep, before huffing and resuming whatever dream he's having.

Must be nice, being a bear. None of these illness worries.

I wouldn't know where to start looking for that, I'm afraid. [she's a ranger, not a cleric] Would that such things existed.

[one leg lifts, crossing the knee of the other] Cures in general seem in short supply here.

You sounds as enthused as I am at that prospect.

[ Legs shift, and resume swinging over the edge ]

So, do you believe she's trustworthy? That she is genuinely trying to help? [a frown] I'm new here. I've not seen enough of her to get a good read.

I gathered this illness was from another place visited. [a frown, Vex musing a moment as she mentally files this data away] Hasn't she sent anyone back to that world for a cure, then? Or is she too sick herself to do that?

Wonderful. Good intentions, but no planning before execution.

[Even Vox Machina (attempts to) plan.

With a sigh, she gives one last swing of her legs, and uses the momentum to help dismount the wall, landing on the stone below.

Well, since we're all stuck in this together, I suppose it might help to know one another better. I'm Vex'ahlia. [a nod, towards the tent] And that's Trinket.

That's. That's awful.

[ Vex pales.

Even in a world where there are spells that can counter minor and major illness, Vex knows how damaging plagues can be. How expensive a cure is. Assuming said cure even works..

Apparently it didn't there, where ever that was.

No wonder she's focusing on healing exclusively. But--What's a robot? [that's not a term that she knows]

He's my companion. I've raised him since he was a cub.
