[Uncomfortable. That's one name she could put to it. What's weirder still, is that this whole thing just seems out of place. She knows who she's fretting about, but she doesn't really know him. Isn't that weird? It should be weird. But it doesn't seem so, right about now. All she's after is, if at all preferable, for a certain knight to show up where he's supposed to be. Even if that kind of involves her calling him out. She's put it off for a while, and now? Now it's almost unbearable. She feels like she's stuck in a loop of panic and that is something she cannot stand for.]

So this should all blow over in a few days, yeah? Or ... maybe sooner. That'd be great.

Don't s'pose anyone has any knock-out drugs, do they?

[Because loathe to anyone she lets see her over video. She looks a bloody wreck. Terrible sleep the past few days, coupled with high levels of agitation during the day? Oh yeah, she looks fabulous.]

Sir Percival? Mind givin' me a ring? [Yeah, that might be .. out of nowhere.]

[ They've crossed paths of course, here and there. But it's been some time since they've actually spoken. In fact he's hardly been socializing at all lately, too swept up in the drama of his household (households?) to really pay much attention to the network beyond a cursory glance through each day.

Still, he recognizes the name, lets her post load - plays it on his walk home from the Citadel, in fact. Imagine his surprise to find her addressing him personally. His brows furrow and he replays the message another couple of times, just to make sure he's hearing her correctly. When he's finally convinced he's not mistaken, he'll hurry to switch on his own bracelet and reply. ]

What's troubling you, my lady?

[badwolf]

[It's an awkwardly large amount of relief that floods her system when he finally calls in. Something that makes her feel a bit childish and stupid and grateful, all at once. Like her mum had just done her fiftieth check of the night that yes, her teddy was still in the wash, safe and sound, and would be on it's way to her pillow shortly.

Definitely childish.]

Um.

[How eloquent. Exactly what she's feeling. Actually, it wouldn't be far off. The tension is draining, though now that she lets it sit, it's still .. there, just dimmed. What is troubling her.]

This is gonna sound stupid, but can you come over? I need to- Are you okay? Feelin' well? Oh! I could make you a cuppa, if you like.

[Whoa girl, stay on one topic at a time.]

[sleeveless]

[ He doesn't know her all that well, certainly not enough to discern her normal patterns of behavior. But this all strikes him as rather odd, from the content of her original message and now her rather rushed manner of speaking. It's far too all over the place to really follow as one coherent train of thought (a cup of what, exactly...?), but she does ask for him to come over - that much he can understand. ]

I am well indeed, I thank you for asking. But you needn't concern yourself over me, not with something weighing so clearly on your mind. I should be glad to help though, with whatever it is - where might I come to find you?

[audio]

[badwolf]

[Yeah, it's .. complex. The curse, she's almost positive. But that doesn't make explaining it any easier. Maybe in person, once she he's here and she's not turning her insides into knots of anxiety.]

It'ssss... Maybe a bit complicated. I'll be alright when you get here. Promise.

[It was twice as embarrassing without the context, too.]

Oh- I'm in Freya's district. Room 106- but I can meet you in the foyer.

[ Brawn may be his primary forte but he's not lacking in brains either; being the strong and silent type has its advantages, in that you tend to pick up a lot through the simple power of observation.

Whatever it is that's wrong, it's now obvious that she's embarrassed to publicly give voice to it. That's fine. Discretion is the better part of valor, they say. He'll nod to himself, committing the 'address' to memory. ]

I'm not terribly far. I'll head over that way now.

[ex_surprising150]

Are you alright? You are not in danger, are you? [She's calling a knght. Clearly something's wrong.]

audio;

[badwolf]

What? Oh, no I'm fine. Or not fine but I'm not not-fine.

audio;

[ex_surprising150]

That's certainly confusing. Is everything alright?

audio;

[badwolf]

[Eh-heh.]

Y'know the curse goin' around right now? Somethin' to do with that, I guess.

audio;

[ex_surprising150]

OH! Of course. I should've realized as much. Do you believe Sir Percival will be able to help you? [It hasn't clicked that it's Percival that she's drawn too.]

[comeonthensexy]

...

Rose, are you okay?

audio

[badwolf]

[Woop, hello there.]

Yeah, m'fine. Just- I think it's this curse. There's a curse goin' on, yeah? S'gotta be.

audio

[comeonthensexy]

[ Woop, just audio, is it? ]

Yeah, seems to be. You're affected, then?

audio

[badwolf]

[Just on her end. He can be video if he likes!]

Looks like. [The most embarrassed slash anxious grumble.] How long d'you think it'll last?

audio

[comeonthensexy]

[ Nah, he'll go with what she does. ]

Don't know. A few days?

[Voice] Woop that's what I get for tagging into things right before bed

[hadbadays]

You don't really sound like yourself.

[Voice] <3

[badwolf]

Really? Oh. [Must try harder then.]

Nevermind me, how are you gettin' on, doctor?

[Voice] I was so confused for a moment at the "doctor" y u do that to me

[hadbadays]

[ He exhales sharply. Never mind you, of course, Rose. ]

Just fine.

[Voice] ehehehe i thought you'd like that

[badwolf]

[You wouldn't see it, but she'd totally grin for you, John Hamish Watson.]

You're affected too, then?

[Voice] You are evil

[hadbadays]

No, but I think... my friend is.

[mulletrock]

I know somethin' that'll knock you out.

[And what he's thinking of isn't prescription pills even though he has those on hand too. He's thinking booze. Cold, hard, liquor. A bottle of hunter's helper and the right concoction'll do the trick.]

video;

[badwolf]

Yeah?

[Dean. Are you trying to get her drunk? Because it totally might work.]

video;

[mulletrock]

Yeah, I know a place where you can drink yourself under the table... and it'll be on me.

audio; whoops pretend the last one was too

[badwolf]

[She nearly chokes- And that might have been a laugh.]

I hadn't even thought of that.

[...No, she's not considering it. She really isn't. At all. It's not like it's been ages since she drank, nor would it be easy as pie to get drunk enough to maybe put her to sleep.]

... Where? An' all on you, really? That seems a bit nice for a stranger. [Mostly. She's pretty sure she's spoken to Dean at least once before.]

audio;

[mulletrock]

The Roadhouse. I'll give you the 10-20.

[Dean sends her some directions in a text file.]

Be there in twenty and we can see how long it'll take you to drop. What can I say? I'm a sweetheart.
