24th Slay [Video] But I'm a Supergirl and Supergirls don't cry

[whattingawhat]

[The video clicks on to Buffy lying on the couch with a blanket pulled up to her chin. She's got her arms wrapped a stuffed pig that's not Mr. Gordo but a close enough replica. Her eyes and nose are red. She looks absolutely miserable. On the coffee table in front of her, there is an assortment of kleenex, cough drops, cough medicine, aspirin, teapot and cup.]

Not funny, City. Slayers. Don't. Get. Sick.

P.S I hate you.

Do you want some soup?

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

You're a saint. Yes please. Chicken and stars?

omg chicken and stars are my fav!

[advancetheplot.livejournal.com]

Totally.

canonically they are Buffy's too :)

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

When I get to feeling better, I owe you so much

<3

[advancetheplot.livejournal.com]

No way. It's whatever. So like you want a gallon right? [Smirk]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Yes. And an IV if possible? Okay the last part is a joke but yeah. Lots is better.

[advancetheplot.livejournal.com]

I don't think I have like... the medical clearance for a Chicken and Stars IV. You need a degree for that.

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

In that case, a gallon is totally acceptable.

[advancetheplot.livejournal.com]

A gallon it is!

You're sick too? Everyone seems to be getting sick today. Not me though -- yet. Ohmigod I totally just jinxed myself.

Need something?

Re: [Voice]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Yes [Note that this is said in much the tone of a sulky three year old]

There's hand sanitizer over there. You should probably bathe in it.

Re: [Voice]

[the-dawnster.livejournal.com]

I just washed my hands. So what do you need? Orange juice?

Re: [Voice]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Half OJ, half grapefruit juice. Like Mom used to make? Please.

[Voice]

[the-dawnster.livejournal.com]

Half OJ, half grapefruit juice coming right up. This has to be a curse, right?

Re: [Voice]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

I hope so. Curse stuff will be over by midnight. [Miserable thy name is Buffy]

[Dawn walks into her room a few minutes later. She holds out a glass of juice to Buffy.]

Maybe you should take a few days off from the arena to get better.

Re: [Voice]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

[Buffy nods sulkily and takes the juice. She takes a long sip of it before placing it on the coffee table] I'm not scheduled to fight for a couple of days anyway but I think I'll lay off training too.

[A few hours later, toward nightfall, Eliot comes into her room. Her roommates let him into the warehouse. And he's come to check on her. He sits down on the side of the bed.]

Hey... feelin' any better?

Re: [Action]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

[Buffy gives a sulky shrug and scoots her feet up, knees to her chest so that he'll have room to sit.]

No. Being sick sucks.

[a-bad-guy.livejournal.com]

[He reaches up to brush her hair back secretly using it as an excuse to check her temperature.]

Yeah, it does. What've you done about it?

Re: [Action]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

[She's definitely running a fever but nothing astronomical. She tilts her head slightly, leaning into the touch]

Summer brought me a bunch of chicken and stars soup I ate. Dawnie made me OJ and grapefruit juice. I took some aspirin too.

[Action]

[a-bad-guy.livejournal.com]

Think all that's left then is some rest, yeah?

[He leans in and kisses her brow.]

Re: [Action]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Yeah...I'm not usually take it lying down girl.

[There is pouting. Even if there's also kissing. She really hates being sick]

So thief things. What sort of stuff do you steal? Besides priceless old guns.

[Action]

[a-bad-guy.livejournal.com]

[He smirks.]

You really wanna talk about that while you're sick?

Re: [Action]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Consider it your good deed for the day and distract me.
