[ 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

[airborn]

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

Who's Allen?

[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.

[video]

[demonicbookworm]

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

[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.

[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.

[video]

[5thchild]

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

What kind?

[Video]

[saving_sound]

You're sick--?

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

Video;

[5thchild]

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

I'm sorry, my head feels too heavy.

[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]

[fishdouche]

I guess that wwas too much to hope for, wwasn't it.

[A long sigh.]

So, you'vve died, too. An' here I thought it wwas a fairly exclusivve club. I didn't knoww wwe wwere lettin' in the riffraff.

[Video]

[5thchild]

Do you want me to die? [ from all that he is feeling, he still manages to pull out a tiny smile. ]

Why?

video

[airborn]

Oh...you're lucky. People die from being sick if it gets really bad back in Panem. [Especially if there isn't enough food to go around.]

Do you have medicine?

video

[5thchild]

"Panem"? [ kaworu isn't afraid of death, so it doesn't phase him ]

Allen works at the hospital. Maybe he will bring something.

video

[airborn]

Panem is where I'm from. District 11 in Panem.

[She scrunches her nose at him.]

But he's not there with you, right? What if he's too late?

[Seriously, waiting for medicine is not a good idea.]

[video]

[likethelight]

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

Kaworu?

Are you... sick?

video

[5thchild]

District...? [ aha. ] Do you miss it? [ he will still talk even if he's sick. he would rather talk than to think about being sick anyway. ]

It'll be alright.

video

[airborn]

No. [Blunt as always.] But I miss my family.

Are you suuuure?

[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

[5thchild]

Do you wish to return?

[ a small nod ] I'm sorry for making you worry.

video

[airborn]

I want them to come here. Asgard is safer...

[She trails off, looking sad.] I don't want them to get Reaped.

[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.

[video]

[demonicbookworm]

_{[Give him a moment. Those symptoms look like...]}

I think you caught a cold... no, perhaps it's a flu... In any case, I think I have a good medicine for it...

_{[and with that he begins to search for a medicine. He's back after a moment with a small box.]}

I can bring it to you if you'd like.

"Reaped"?
