Fever in the Morning ++ OPEN

Who: Doll and you!
When: S2:D11-D22
Where: Around the carnival
What: Where has Doll been while all this Harbinger/Guardian craziness has been happening? Bedridden at the carnival. Which one of you passed her the mono, hmm?
Warnings: Sniffles, adorable sick thing, potentially contagious.

[Uh, Medic? - Backdated S2:D11]

[Sometime soon after Performance Week, Doll starts looking a little pale and feeling a little off. Of course it's probably nothing-- she's tired, she's been working on new routines, not sleeping as well as she did in a comfy bed on the moon. There are so many reasons she could be feeling off.]

[After her last performance, she sets to cleaning and organizing the makeup in the dressing areas. She finds herself trying to hurry because she's so tired that she just wants to get back to her trailer and go to sleep. Maybe she pushed herself too hard on the rope tonight, because she's never felt this warm after a performance. She's never had double vision after a performance either. Forget the makeup, she needs some air.]

[Doll wobbles outside and tries to sit on one of the nearby storage crates-- but misses and falls over. It's a short trip to the ground and she's not hurt, but wow she's dizzy and her limbs feel like solid weights. Is somebody going to find her like this?]

[Should be in Bed]

[Once Doll realized she was sick and wouldn't be able to hang around Wismuth as much as she'd like, she'd dutifully retired to bed in her and Joker's trailer. And for the most part, she's got everything she needs in there-- except for food. Wrapped in a blanket and determined to be at least a little self-sufficient, Doll shuffles across the grounds heading for the mess hall. It's slow going and she's not exactly keeping a low profile here, but how else is she supposed to get fed?]

[WHAT'S Going on Over There?!]

[Is there some ruckus made after something's gone south in Wismuth? Doll's regular sleep cycle is all kinds of ridiculous from doing nothing but sleeping, so anytime of the day or night if there's somebody making noise outside her curiosity will get the best of her. She'll wrap herself in her trusty blanket, put on her slippers and shuffle out of the trailer to see what's going on.]

Oi-- [And she coughs, her throat not used to doing much talking yet.] What's goin' on?

((OOC Note: The last two prompts can happen any old time, she's kicking around the carnival while plot things happen, feel free to date any interaction whenever! :3b))

[LOOK IT GROSS, it looks all groady from being soaked through and not cleaned. The blood isn't what she's making a face at, it's everything else about the situation.]

Ohhh, ya mean everythin' here! Gosh yeah, th'first time Tamaki showed me a, a micro-wave, I nearly lost my head! [She laughs as she gently cleans the blood away from the cut on his hand before going right for the cut itself.]

Havin' hot water in a minute, amazin'! [She discards the gauze when it's bloody enough and gets another scrap, dousing it in the same antiseptic.] Yanno what the best thing is? Hot baths... [She sighs and snuffles.] Would feel real good ta have one now.

I have no idea what that is. [He's being honest at least given his lack of knowledge for a lot of things modern. If his fingers twitch it is because it is an involuntary reaction to the stinging. He barely feels it himself or it doesn't register as actual pain for the most part. It might start bleeding at being touched but at least it was getting a good cleaning. He doesn't know where Childermass' cards have been.

The light conversation was at least lifting his mood a little.]

That's the best part of this place, Miss Doll. Normally a bath would have to be drawn and it would a hassle to anyone that would. It wasn't always cold by the time I got home. [Even if he never had to actually draw his own bath.] The hot springs are truly a pleasure. It's better than a hot bath.

I don' know how it works exactly, but it cooks things in a snap! Like magic! [Doll continues to cheerily blot at Tyki's injured hand, still gentle and closing in on getting it clean enough to her liking.]

Oh have you been? I haven't had th'time jus' yet... Ah. [She frowns gently as she discards another bit of bloody gauze and goes for the bandage.] I know I might feel miles better if I could jus' get all these aches out, but... [Joker would never let her go, and she'll never make it all that way by herself.]

Hmm, maybe it is worth my attention. I've seen Ichigo use it. [And blow it up most likely on accident by putting something metal into it.]

It's not that far of a walk if you're use to walking and it is within the carnival which just makes it better and accessible at all times. [His brow raises gently as his hand stays there obediently for the most part.] But..?

[Look, the rules aren't written on the thing, it's hard.]

Well I can' jus' go over there now. I c'n barely walk as it is... [She starts wrapping Tyki's hand firmly, wrapping the bandage expertly from mid-forearm towards his wrist. About halfway down, she takes another bit of gauze and lays it on his palm before continuing.] If all that's goin' on in Wismuth though, I don' wanna take anybody away from everythin'. 'Specially if some of us were dragged inta that 'Void' thing.

It wouldn't be hard to carry you there. I'll even keep my back turned like a proper gentleman.

[And ward off anyone else from approaching though he might request to hold her hand or talk to him so he knows she hasn't dozed off in the water. He's watching his hand now instead of her as she seems to know what she's doing.] If taking you, later on, is better than now so you don't feel so guilty then that's fine. I'm a little burnt out on Wismuth for today at least.

[There is a possibility he will venture back out after midnight when the city is brighter at night unless Zangetsu was sleeping.] Do you want to know who was taken?

Would ya? [Doll looks hopeful for a moment, her aching body has been making it hard for her to rest properly.]

[Meanwhile though, she finishes wrapping Tyki's arm neatly, clipping the end of the bandage with the very useful metal clips]

...guess I should know, yeah? Who was it?

Yes. If it would serve to help you with your aches I can easily carry you there. [He also cannot get sick easily and she looked like she could use a bit of help.]

After you eat, that is. Your soup is going to get cold because you're worrying about little old me. [She's done though and he'll flex his fingertips lightly. He knows he'll end up opening it again eventually but it'll do for now.] Thanks.

[And then with careful and slow words he begins to recite the names he has heard:] Papyrus, Amethyst, Mari, Steven, Shima, Lapis, Carly, Childermass, Herbert, Yuugo, Lavellan, Taako, Tanyuu, and Connie.

Soup? [She perks up a little-- apparently she hadn't realized Tyki had brought anything in with him, she was so out of it.]

[For the most part, she doesn't recognize a lot of the names except for ones she's heard in passing-- except for Carly and Tanyuu. Those get her attention and her face falls.] Oh no... Ginko must be beside himself, is Joker with him?

[He's taking his hand back and flexing it again just to get the bandages to move properly around his fingers and palm. He can't be off his guard and he has to be use to it when he goes back out later into Wismuth.

He gently takes the plate with the bowl on top and holds it out for her to take along with the spoon. Once she takes it he'll offer her the spoon.] A light chicken noodle with small bits of noodles so it is not so raw on your throat.

When isn't he with Joker? [Said a little too teasingly to be casual.]

[Doll grins and holds out her hands for the soup, settling it securely in her lap before reaching for the spoon.] Yer the best Tyki, thank you! [She smiles warmly and starts eating slowly.]

Oh? [Doll smirks a little to herself.] Somethin' happen? [She's saying that far too innocently for it to be a simple question.]

With Pleasure. [Comes his usual response and he'll stay seated there in a squat in front of her like a good caretaker. He likes to stay on someone's level if he cares for them at least not to seem so daunting or save their neck from having to look up.

He snorts at her inquiry.] Wouldn't you like to know, little princess. Eat up.

Mean. [She puffs out her cheeks and pouts at him, but keeps on eating anyway.] Someone stayin' around you, then? [If he's not going to talk about Joker or Ginko, she'll just talk about him.]

Oh, hush. I already let you tend to my wound and if I keep talking you won't eat. [Besides there was time for that later.] They're just always so close.

You mean by safety in numbers? Zangetsu is closeby and has been. He was just a little too far out when I got cut. [Cut, he says.]

Right? [She says this with a mouth full of soup and spoon. At least she swallows before continuing.] Ginko tried ta tell me that he 'n Joker were jus' friends, an' Joker told me Ginko 'n Mister Psi were an item, but I won' believe nothin's goin' on. I ain' all the way blind.

[...oh. That. Was a little too much sharing.]

Good. 'M glad ya got somebody watchin' over ya, even if they're not stuck ta yer hip.

[Blink, blink.] Wait, wait. You mean they're not together?! I could've sworn the way they were acting in the hot spa back on the moon that they were at least fooling around on the sidelines.

[No, it was the right amount of sharing and now even Tyki looks confused.] He has things to take care of and we're never that far apart.

The hot spa on the moon?! [Dolls crawls up on her knees, anguished. She missed it?!] It was happenin' before th'Prince even! Ugh! [She flops back down again, frowning deeply.] 'N Joker thinks he's so smug tellin' me that Ginko's jus' a friend and likes somebody else...

[Doll brightens up though.] Exactly! Stuff happens real quick 'round here. S' nice ta have somebody who ain't that far away. Like you!

When we were all getting Cured and needed to drink and soak. Ginko was there to look after us. Him mostly. [Because after a while Tyki sank into that mess and disappeared. It was really Herbert that got him out and Childermass mostly that tended to his drunk ass all night.

He points to her soup to make sure she's eating and talking somewhat at the same time.] Well, there is the possibility that is the case. If they feel anything for each other it would be your hypocritical brother and ginko that would probably not even see it. [Which kind of makes sense now that he thinks about it. Lots of things Tyki says goes right over Ginko's head, or seems to.] I try.

[She pouts-- they're in the middle of gossiping!-- but puts another spoonful in her mouth to appease Tyki.]

Yer not th'only one. [Doll frowns more deeply.] I'd feel better 'bout Joker cuttin' me outta all that goes on if... If I jus' knew somebody would take care 'a him like I would.

[He doesn't care if she talks with her mouthful or not though soup would make a mess of things.]

Well, from a man that knows a lot about pleasure, relationships, acquaintances, and family. I can tell you that as long as Ginko is here, there isn't anything Joker can really get away with unless he just runs off on his own. Can't help those that don't want to be helped either.
