[ it’s late morning when the video comes up and you are able to see Kaworu clinging to the bracelet.

He is in bed, face flushed, sweaty, hair clinging to his face because of it, and he looks like he is dying. He is wrapped around a duvet and he is clearly sick. For the first time, actually. ]

Allen…

I’m cold and my body hurts.

[ he coughs for a moment and shifts in bed a bit, shivering from the fever ] what is…? What should I do? [ KICKED PUPPY LOOK IS A GO. And no, he has never been sick, he has no idea what this is. ]


[ ooc: this was meant to be private to Allen, but Kaworu didn’t hit the right settings, so you all get the chance to look at an angel with the flu ]

You look disgustin'. Wwhat the fuck is wwrong wwith you?

Are you dyin'?

[The troll's smirk is far too smug, and dare say happy, to match his fake concern.]

[Video]

[5thchild]

[ oh? This posted to everyone?

He can't even bother to care about that. His voice comes out soft, but with suffering ]

I don't... think I'm dying. [ a pause ] At least, it's not like I remember it.

[airborn]

I think you got sick. [Sorry, mister. Having a cold sucks.]

Who's Allen?

video

[5thchild]

Sick? it's the first time. [ Kaworu reaches for his own forehead. Isn't that what people do when they are sick?

But he pauses to turn to the girl in the video ]

He is my friend. This... should have been to him only, I'm sorry.

[video]

[demonicbookworm]

You look like you're sick... You should rest a lot, drink liquids and take some medicine.

[video]

[5thchild]

Medicine? [ he can't move to go get it. But-- ]

What kind?

[ealdorsprince]

[William wouldn't have responded, but he recognizes the other from some of his other videos.]

Do you have anyone there to look after you? If not you should probably call someone.

[5thchild]

This was meant to him. [ a private message. But alas. ]

I'm sorry, my head feels too heavy.

[Video]

[saving_sound]

You're sick--?

I can come heal you! What district and room number are you in?

[Video]

[5thchild]

[ Ah, no, he doesn't- ]

Don't go out of your way for me, please. [ have a smile. Even if he is sick, Kaworu still smiles }

[video]

[likethelight]

[ Ah, no, he's at his shift at the hospital (irony) -- ]

Kaworu?

Are you... sick?

[video]

[5thchild]

That's what I was told.

[ he was also told he might die |8 if only he cared ]

They said something about medicine.

[video]

[prazerbutterfly]

[Allen.

To say his name so formally in such dire need while looking so pathetic.]

You look sick but then anyone would tell you that.

[video]

[5thchild]

[ it was supposed to be a private a message to him, after all ]

I was told, yes. I'm trying to figure out what to do about it.

[tipsygnostalgia]

Yo if you meant to privately send this, you totally failed.

[Though it seems obvious what is going on here.]

You look like you have a fever, any of your friends been sick?

video;

[5thchild]

Yes, I know. I'm sorry about that.

[ he still smiles ]

They haven't. I think it's because I was out in the snow at night some time ago.

audio;

[extradite]

[ ...what do you even do when your E.T. friend is sick? What if he reacts differently to everything ever?! ]

That's - Kaworu, how did you - ...you spent time in the rain, didn't you. Do you know if you're... allergic to any substances? Any medication? There're things to give you, but... if they only make you sicker, that won't be good.

audio;

[5thchild]

In the snow. I'm sorry, Shinji.

I'm not allergic to anything. [ but ] Someone is coming, and Allen will be home later on.

[vigilanteup]

[ ... lightbulb! ]

I made deliveries around the houses not too long ago. There's medicine in one of the packages from Leonardo da Vinci.

[5thchild]

I don't live in Sigyn House anymore, though. I live in a paid apartment.

[video]

[nukeoleptic]

Kaworu.

[ Oh noooo. Being sick sucks. :( ]

Do you want me to bring you anything?

[video]

[5thchild]

I'm drinking tea, right now. And someone left medicine.

Thank you, Jade.

You've only caught the cold or flu or something similar. Stop being such a drama queen.

[Still...that hurt puppy look...oh well Kuroneko was obviously a cat person.]

[5thchild]

This wasn't meant to be public, I'm sorry.

But I never had one before.

[ ... ]

Has everyone finished bombarding you with their good advice? [ He's not unsympathetic; he just doesn't want to repeat everyone else. ]

[5thchild]

[ a soft smile ]

Yes. People are often kind, even to strangers. It's nice.

[gforgreat]

[Guess who's peeking into your room, Kaworu. You have three guesses and the first two don't count.]

Hey, you 'wake?
