acatalepsy_logs | WE'RE ALL SICK HERE [OPEN]

Who: Kainé and you
Where: Various locations.
When: During the whole event.
Rating PG13+ because Kainé has no filter. ... Actually, maybe M for that.
What: A girl walks into a fighting ring and passes the hack out, gets her ass dragged who knows where because she is sick and refuses to relax.

first week) [ getting sick so quickly sounds fake. there's no way someone like kainé can get sick, or so she believes because she is a healthy young woman who has eaten decently. sort of. there's a small cough here and there, but she's certain it's just before this place sucks. it's dying after all! or it looks like it is.

she sniffles a little, but besides that, she's acting as if she isn't getting sick at all. instead, all of her focus is on the temple that she has now found herself in. the area of the temple at least. ]

Does anyone take care of this place? Everything looks ... far from alive.

second week.) [ if you go to the fighting ring, it totally doesn't look like there's a woman ready to pass out. her body is grossly covered in sweat, which can be from her fighting in such an aggressive manner or because she has gotten sicker and hasn't bothered to actually sit her ass down since the start of it.

staggering for a moment, she presses her hand against her forehead with her free hand (her other one is holding a single sword) and groans out loudly. What a fucking pain in my ass. Stupid... shit... [ her attention perks up in a second though and kainé's body stiffens, seeing movement from the corner of her eye that makes her heart stop for a moment and -- throws her sword at whoever is approaching her, not realizing that it's a person and not a creature from her past. sorry. ]

third week.) [ now she isn't dying so much, kainé is actually seen in the kitchen area. she's actually in a place that has other people in it and she isn't staying away from them all. after she has taken a mouthful of her food, she presses her lips together and frowns.

don't mind her as she turns to face you, shoving her bowl directly in your eye of sight. ] Taste this for me.

[IT'S BETTER THAN HIM DROPPING IT]

All right. I do like meat stew.

[but instead of, like. using a spoon, he just lifts the bowl up and takes a sip from the edges. like he's drinking out of a bowl-shaped glass]

[Akira]

Tastes like meat stew to me.

[ true. point made.

she watches hi and her face changes to confusion and she stare down at her stew. ]

Fuck.

[ kaine takes the bowl back straight away and will use her spoon (excuse u akira) to take a mouthful. ]

I can't taste shit.

[ah. . . so that's what it is]

Diiiid you happen to get really, really sick before your sense of taste disappeared?

[ dropping her spoon into the bowl, she leans back in her chair and rests her foot against the table. ]

Yeah, that’s right.

Think that shit has something to do with this?

Yep.

[he doesn't beat around the bush or mince his answer at all. and he holds up both hands, fingers splayed, palms facing towards her]

I can't feel anything. It's like my sense of touch is just. . . gone.

Really? Can't you feel a single thing?

[ damn. that's interesting. it's almost tempting to hit him over the head just to see if he can even feel that.

but, she won't. ]

That flu really screwed us over.

[DO IT, KAINE]

[not that Akira would appreciate it, but yeah. there'd be no pain]

We're a walking advertisement for why everyone should get their flu shots.

[ don’t tempt her. ]

... Whatever you say. [ Aka, she has no idea what he just said and isn’t trying to bring that up because it might make her look dumb. ]

[. . . WAVES A HAND]

The rest of my symptoms went away on their own, so maybe this one will, too?

[he doesn't know!! he isn't sure, exactly, how space robot flu works]

[ RESITING FOR NOW... ]

It better, otherwise the person who started spreading this shit is going to be in a world of hurt.

[god Akira hopes he isn't patient zero]

[if there is a patient zero]

[and it isn't just all of them]

You might have a hard time figuring out who that is.

[ rip akira.

maybe. ]

Maybe. Maybe not. We will just have to see how it goes.

[sweats]

Mmm. I think you're right.

[as much as he hates to admit to it]

But that's what we've been doing for the past three weeks or so. . . it gets tiring.

And you guys have had no luck?

[ she'll have little luck in that regard then. ]

Have you lot figured anything out?

I'm not a doctor or a scientist. I don't really know where I'd even start figuring things out.

[he's from the school of "take cold medicine when you're sick, if symptoms don't improve go see a doctor" health care]

So you’re basically useless to me. [ unless he has more info. he might have more info. ]

Do you know if there’s a limit to how much of no pain you can feel?

[. . . THUMBS UP]

Useless and proud.

[at least he is unfazed by being called useless!1]

Especially since I don't have the answer to that question, either.

[ that's impressive. she'll have to give him brownie points for that. ]

I'm guessing you're not willing to find out or take advantage of it?

[. . . uh]

If you're asking if you can punch me in the face, then the answer to that is no.

I wouldn't say punching you, but, something like that maybe.

Still "no." Just because I can't feel the pain doesn't mean it won't do some amount of damage.

[punching still leaves behind black eyes evne when they don't hurt :(]

I can't force you to try it out, but that's a bit of a shame.

[ imagine how much fun they could have!! ]

[WHAT IS KAINE'S DEFINITION OF FUN!!]

If you ask around, you might be able to find someone else willing to be your guinea pig?

[ beating people up. ]

Hm, that's too much effort. I'd rather sit here and eat my food which I can't even enjoy.

[come ask him for a fight when powers return, he'll be 100% down for being punched then--]

I'd sulk about it, too. Sulking makes me feel better.

[sometimes]
