[Like most people, Sollux hasn't been feeling all that well all day today. He's locked himself in his room, except for frequent trips to the ablution block. No, he doesn't have a bucket beside him. Thankfully, it hadn't gotten that bad yet, anyway.

He accidentally knocks the camera on as he wipes the first trickle yellow blood away from his nose. He stares at it, then doubles over, more blood erupting between his teeth and running from the corners of his eyes]

Oh fuck...

[As he falls from his chair onto the floor, he knocks the camera off again]

You'll...thtay with me?

ACTION

[trollsbackwards.livejournal.com]

[ so going to be cleaning you up, bro. ]

Never said I'd leave.

ACTION

[thekidsare0kay]

[Huddles against him, sniffling miserably. With Karkat he doesn't have to pretend too much, because Karkat pities him. So maybe he'll be safe for a while]

Are you feeling okay?

ACTION

[trollsbackwards.livejournal.com]

I'm fine, why?

ACTION

[thekidsare0kay]

Becauthe it would really thuck if you [Coughcough] were feeling thick like thith, too.

ACTION

[thekidsare0kay]

It'th a deal. Though I already took care of you latht week, when you were thick then. [Scowling] Tho you'd better not get TOO thick nektht time. Or it won't be fair.

ACTION

[trollsbackwards.livejournal.com]

Who's the fuckass spewing blood here? I don't think I can top that.

ACTION

[thekidsare0kay]

[Laugh, wheeze, cough, choke]

ACTION

[trollsbackwards.livejournal.com]

Hey, hey! Don't laugh.

[ patting on Sollux's back to get that choking nonsense to stop. even keeps that washcloth at Sollux's mouth. ]

Re: ACTION

[thekidsare0kay]

[Boy, that was gross. He sighs, finally not feeling like laughing, and relaxes into Karkat's thigh]

Maybe...thleeping would help.

ACTION

[trollsbackwards.livejournal.com]

You're right. But first you're going to drink more water.

ACTION

[thekidsare0kay]

[Soft mutter and he snuggles in closer] That involveth thitting up.

ACTION

[trollsbackwards.livejournal.com]

[ back rubbing! ]

He groans and pushes himself up, holding his aching head with one hand]

ACTION

[trollsbackwards.livejournal.com]

...I have to get up to fill the cup. Can you hold still for a bit?

ACTION

[thekidsare0kay]

Yeah. [He draws his knees towards his chest, letting go of Karkat] You're really the betht moirail, kk. Don't ever think otherwithe.

ACTION

[trollsbackwards.livejournal.com]

I'll be back soon.

[ cracks a bit of a grin and disappears long enough to fetch water. ]

ACTION

[thekidsare0kay]

[He'll just be here, coughing blood onto his sleeve and mopping what's dripping from his nose]

ACTION

[trollsbackwards.livejournal.com]

[ and back Karkat comes. Not just with water either. blankets. copious amounts of blankets. he hands Sollux the water and a brand new, warm and wet wash cloth. ]

Here.

[ then starts setting up a pile. ]
