Super Sweet Secret Slumber Party

[killtheanimals]

[It's Thursday night.

Everyone's sick. No one but maybe Chloe is having fun. All that's left is to see what happens first - the death of them all, or the death of one.

But for Cabin 2 at least, all remain here.]

[At some point, Lenka had moved off his bunk to do something -- maybe get water? -- and ended up more-or-less dozing off against one of the walls. Really, with the state of the bunks and the being sick, the floor feels about as comfortable and twice as cool. It's also the perfect spot to suddenly get showered with extra flowers from Marisa's attempt at organization.

He startles awake when there's suddenly petals all over his head, opens his mouth to ask, and a flower falls in it.]

Ah--

[And then he sneezes. I'm sorry about the fact that all your flowers probably went flying.]

[lovecolored]

[ looks at him

looks at the now-scattered flowers

looks at him again ]

Dude. Seriously?

[soylentprotag]

Eh?

[She just gets a deeply confused look back.

After a moment, he also spits out the flower that was somehow still in his mouth. At least he didn't swallow it...]

[lovecolored]

Stop eatin' my materials...!

[ reluctantly getting back to her feet and piling her flowers in her arms ]

[soylentprotag]

Sorry...?

[HE IS SO BAFFLED but look, he'll even help you gather up flowers and try not to cough and send them all over the place again.

Eventually:]

These are materials? What are you making?

[She's pretty industrious for all of them being half-dead.]

[lovecolored]

[ that's kind of her thing. gotta work!

granted, she was about to get some sleep when she got back. ]

Potions. S'd be easier if I had a...cauldron, but...a saucer's ok I guess.

[soylentprotag]

[Yeah, he can totally understand that, even if he has no idea what she's doing. Gotta work, gotta workaholic. They're good at this being sick thing. Once everything is gathered up he takes a minute to fill his cough quota.]

... Maybe you can use a bucket.

[They have buckets around here somewhere, or she might end up with a plastic beach bucket, I don't know what amenities our beach has.]

What kind of potions?

[lovecolored]

It won't work unless it's solid metal. Stuff melts, stuff bubbles...

Anythin' that'd help this...stupid infection. But nothin's workin'.

[soylentprotag]

Oh. That... makes sense.

[Somehow, though he knows very little about witchy stuff, which is what he assumes this boils down to (literally).

But that had been what he'd thought of, when she mentioned potions, and it is indeed nice to be correct for once. Lenka scoots over closer to the bed to make conversation easier.]

Thanks for trying. If... If you need help, I can, uh, carry things.

[Just don't ask him to do anything magical, that's useless.]

[lovecolored]

Good, 'cause I only got two arms right now.

[ rip lenka she's going to saddle him with her things from now on ]

...I'm not goin' back out there tonight, though.

[soylentprotag]

... Do you have more than two arms, sometimes?

[She's magical, he has to ask.

And that's fine, he doesn't mind being a gopher, especially if she's trying to help and like. What else is he going to use superstrength for. It's not like he can punch disease in the face. Unfortunate.]

I think it's fine to rest tonight.

[He's... not sure if it's fine, actually. They're getting awfully close to the deadline. But he can't demand that of anyone else.]

[lovecolored]

No. I can make stuff float...sometimes. [ she's too tired for that right now ]

[soylentprotag]

Hmm. I think Mitsuru can, too.

[At least, he'd done some of it back on the first day, and probably more since. Their cabin sure does have a lot of magic children in it, huh? He peers at the flowers strewn across her bed for a moment.]

... Would it be easier to sleep if these were in your trunk?

[They do have steam trunks. The petals might wilt a bit, but it's better than getting them everywhere if she's sleeping there.]
