SICK DAY MEME

There's not denying it, you're feeling crap. School, work, a date, tea with nana, mowing the lawns, doing your laundry, that important meeting... you can't make it. You want to stay in bed and maybe you just need a little TLC in the process. What is YOUR reason for that ever-fateful call in sick that every boss just loves to hate?

RULES:
- Leave a comment with your character's name, fandom, and any preferences you have.
- When replying,
RNG for a number between 1 and 16.
- The number corresponds to the scenario that you will play out in any way you feel the urge.
- The poster is the sick person, the tagger is the one taking care of them/keeping them company.
- Go from there!
 


 
 

THE LIST:
1// COLD
It's just a boring old sinus infection and you probably could go in, but you're not because bed is just too nice.

2// FLU
You feel like you're dying and everything aches, but it's not quite serious enough to arrange your own funeral yet.

3// MAN FLU
Doesn't anyone understand how sick and miserable you are?! You can't function! The world is ending! You need cuddles, and hugs, and you can't do ANYTHING by yourself!

4// STOMACH BUG
Uh oh, this is going to get messy...

5// FOOD POISONING
But that meal was sooooooo good. The best you ever had! Why is it betraying you so badly?! Never eating ever again.

6// CONCUSSION
You've been hit in the head and now it feels like it's going to explode. Being horizontal is the best option, and not even in a good way.

7// MONO
Everything hurts, you feel sick, you don't want to move, you don't want to eat, but you're in it for the long haul. Company and maybe some cuddles with chicken soup might be nice.

8// CHICKEN POX OR MEASLES
SPOTS! Spots everywhere! Yes, even there! You look hideous and it itches so damn much. Don't scratch, don't scratch... oh screw it!

9// LARYNGITIS
Your throat hurts so bad and now you can't talk. How are you going to communicate, maybe you need a little bell? Is it bad form to text message someone sitting right in front of you? Who cares, you want chicken soup.

10// HANGOVER
It's still sick, right?

11// BACK PAIN
You don't know what you have done, but you woke up barely able to move. You probably shouldn't have done what you did last night... and you should probably rest it.

12// INCAPACITATING INJURY
You got hurt, you can move much, and you're stuck in bed. Is it a broken bone? Torn groin muscle? Cracked ribs? Whatever it is, the world clearly hates you.

13// POST ROUTINE SURGERY
It was a simple procedure and now you're back home. The only catch is, you can't be alone for 48 hours in case of complications, with the added bonus of it hurts like a bitch.

14// POST MAJOR SURGERY

You're stuck in hospital for a few days and have a gaping surgial wound. There aren't even any hot nurses. Now what?

15// LONG TERM ILLNESS
You've just been diagnosed with a longer-term illness (of your choice). You're feeling poorly and don't want to be alone.

16// ANYTHING GOES
Something not listed here, have a wildcard of your choice! Anything that might lead to a timely sick day.

[Rey had a good idea of the things that would be said if she removed the General from his bridge twice, but she wasn't going to hesitate - the man could barely stand on his own and if he could make it to his own bed without assistance, she would be thoroughly shocked.

Closing the distance between them again, she looked into his eyes.]


General. [The urge to address him by his first name was there. He should be grateful she resisted.] You're showing weakness when you'd rather not. [This time, she focused more of her energy into making him do what she wanted him to do. He could hate her (more) later.] You really want to go get that rest.

[ Oswald. He does recognize the name, not that he didn't expect too. But he wasn'ta vampire and that's all that mattered to the Hunter. ]

I brought you here.

[ After he practically bled out. This safehouse was the closests Hunter asset with a doctor on call. If he had tried for the hospital... he probably wouldn't have made it in time to save his life. ]

[Ordinarily he'd be able to combat such a tactic far better--but his mind was anything but sharp at the moment, and her observation stung.]

Perhaps you have a point. Do I--truly look that weak?

This blows.

[ Kaoru is sitting around sick in bed and his family has some sort of weird nurse to take care of him... but... ]

[ Ugh, this girl is so... so... He flops into his bed. ]


Aren't you ready with that soup yet?

Ugh... [she picks up the bowl and spoon carefully, not too worried about the heat of the bowl itself.] So long as Yuki only helped with the medicine and not the soup itself I think I can believe you.

[she brings a spoonful to her lips, blowing on it carefully before taking a sip. there's a look of bliss and a slow exhale.] Ahhh, it tastes wonderful...

I know better than that. There wouldn't be anything that wasn't bled on if I did.

[He loved his brother, respected him as much as anyone could in their constant self imposed rivalry, but boy oh boy was Yukio a disaster in the kitchen.

Satisfied that Night was actually going to get something in her system, Rin went about picking up the mess of tissues and other garbage that had been neglected since she had returned home.]


Its gonna suck for a while but you'll be back to normal in a few days.

[she continues taking small sips, finding it only a little annoying that she has to stop every few moments to breathe through her mouth. although she stops when she sees rin picking up her trash and waves a hand at him.]

Rin, I can clean that up. What if you get sick too?
satanslash: (Default)

[personal profile] satanslash 2018-01-08 08:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Rin shook his head slightly, hefting the plastic liner up to tie it off.]

I won't. Even when Yuki had the most contagious crap I never got sick. I'unno if its a demon thing or just luck. 'sides, you need to rest. You're fuckin' lucky its just a cold and not like... pneumonia or somethin' worse.

As a spirit, Link didn't know how much they could interfere with their... descendant? reincarnation? Namesake. Link had not felt the tug of time and destiny for decades upon decades, but they remember how it felt to be drawn sharply back from a reckless plan. So for the most part, they awaited only to pass on battle techniques, trying to find healing in the process.

This time, however, the namesake was far, far above the ground. Link had never known such a place existed, but there was no way of knowing without being sent so high. As a spirit Link didn't mind the thinner air, but their namesake must have been affected, since Link could follow the wheezing. Fate to the contrary, if their namesake was in dire trouble Link couldn't stand by and watch someone die. Not like this, not alone, not where no one would ever realize the loss.

Link shed their stalfos form, not needing to teach combat, instead taking on a form from their younger years. Although Link lost their eye later in life, still they kept the right one closed. Habits died hard, even after so many years.

Definitely just luck if someone like me can still catch sickness... [or maybe it was just a spectacular halfbreed quirk. either way rin comes out on top of everyone when flu season came around.

she takes another sip, still frowning a little at his cleaning up.]
Anyways, I doubt I could get that seriously ill. It's Yukio who should be the most careful around here. [not that she's willing to test her own luck on that assumption.]

He's barely even gotten his feet back on terra firma, literally or figuratively, and who should show up at the Asgardian refugee encampment in Norway but Tony Stark? In standard Starkian info dump, Bruce gets very little real information amid the jargon beyond information that there's a sick kid in New York who can't just go to a regular doctor and who has turned down treatment at the Avengers facility in upstate New York.

Wait, what happened to Stark/Avengers Tower? Story for later, right. Great.

It's all a whirl, but less than twelve hours later Bruce is in the Bronx with a reasonably well equipped medical bag and promises of free access to whatever he needs for diagnostics.

Diagnostics for what? According to young Mr. Parker's aunt, it's chicken pox. According to Tony, it might be? That's what Bruce is there to work out. Can the kid get sick like a normal person, or is he more like Cap and Bruce and this is something deeply worrying?

Also hi, welcome back to Earth.

With that, Bruce gives a quiet rap on Peter's door and leaves Aunt May in the living room.

"Peter?" Knowing teenagers, even with chicken pox, he doesn't just open the door without getting an invitation. "My name's Dr. Banner. Tony Stark sent me."

[If you prefer brackets or a different tense or both, go for it. I can easily switch up to accommodate.]

It might not have been so bad, that thinner air and altitudes he wasn't accustomed to, if his physical condition hadn't been compromised well before making it up to this strange floating city full of even stranger creatures. Even before he and Midna had set off for the canon that somehow shot them up there without killing one or both of them, Link had started to feel the exhaustion weighing on him. Aching shoulders, heavy head, tired neck, an annoying tickle at the back of his throat that was already becoming scratchy and painfully raw.

Still he pressed on, stubborn and determined, unwilling to let Midna down in their search for the shattered mirror pieces that she so desperately needed.

Determination was only going to bring a weakening body so far, and where he would have normally been able to take hits and deliver them back just as strong he was failing. Miserably. The helmasaurses were the worst of it, too fast to dodge in his current state, too difficult to expose the weakness of.

One hit, two hits, or had it been three? He lost count, truthfully, as he hobbled along to the next area with an arm across his chest and his lungs heaving, cause each bruise to ache even more than usual. Where was he even going at this point? Somewhere other than the room where everything wanted to add to his likely broken ribs, he hoped.

Probably. I ain't gonna complain.

[Seriously. Whenever people got sick around him they were just so miserable. Not something he wanted to experience.

The bag joined another in the kitchen, a 'take out later' pile that was a little bigger than usual.]


He's planning on keeping a good distance until you're better. I'm glad, honestly. He's even worse than you when he's sick. He becomes a puddle of upset noises and begging for attention.

Finally Link found their namesake, only to wince when he got another nasty hit from those shielded things before dispatching it. Their namesake was sturdy, but between metal and bone, metal usually won. Link also recognized the glaze of pain in his eyes as he pushed himself forward. This Link really did live up to the legacy of his name, to stubbornly press on where others would withdraw.

"Stop."

While talking was difficult, even as a spirit, Link never found it difficult to be verbal with their namesake. Perhaps the similarities put Link at ease enough to loosen their tongue.

"You're hurt. Can't fight."

He was hallucinating. He had to be. Between the pain, the exhaustion and whatever illness was trying to grab hold through all of it, he was clearly seeing things that weren't there.

But the person before him urging him to quite while he was ahead had a familiar voice, one he heard in a realm that was neither Hyrule nor Twilight that would teach him of things that were buried deep within his mind.

He squinted, wobbled, closed an eye against the nagging coming from his shadow (thanks, Midna, he probably knows you've been yelling that at Link for hours now), eventually shaking his head in weak defiance.

"I can't... not yet..."
