4 Cactus Spines [Video]

[no_dreams_for_you]

[In spite of the insomnia factor for the last fifteen years, Gaara is currently feeling irritable from lack of proper rest. He hasn’t been able to sleep in his own bed over the past few days. Why? Because an unconscious naked body is occupying it, and shows no sign of leaving anytime soon. Uttering a quiet sigh, he presses the jewel on his bracelet to address the network.]

To anyone with sufficient medical knowledge, your assistance is requested. [Gaara moves his arm to focus the camera on Soushi’s peacefully dozing face, and goes no further than that.] This individual has been asleep for several days. Based on my understanding, that is an extended period of time, and considered to be abnormal.

[Brief pause as he wonders what other information he should divulge.]

He is not dead. Both his breathing and pulse remain active.

You okay?

…*brb still dying*

[no_dreams_for_you]

[Hi there, Naruto! Don’t mind Gaara. He’s a little grumpy right now.]

Yes. [There is distinct weariness in his tone.] I am more concerned about his well-being, at present.

xD; Oh good.

[kuramaless]

[Hello. :|

Why are you letting him stay in your bed though?]

He looks pretty fine t'me?

[no_dreams_for_you]

[That wasn’t by choice. :| Gaara would like his bed back, thank you very much.]

…So it isn’t unusual to sleep for this long? Over seventy-two hours have passed since he was last conscious.

[There's a strong possibility from the slurring and acrid tone of Samantha's voice that she's been drinking. However, the 'sleeping for multiple days' rang a bell with her considering the apple's vision.]

's probably seeing his world. Happens sometimes. Visions, usually stupid crap that makes us more angry. Sleepin beauty'll wake up soon 'nuff.

[Video] forever~

[no_dreams_for_you]

[Something… definitely seems off about her. He isn’t sure what, though.]

Have you fallen ill?

[Primary concern addressed, Gaara moves onto her response.]

Visions? Hmm. Are you certain that he will awaken? [Gaara pokes his face experimentally. Still no response.]

[Video] forever~

[samantha_grey]

Drunk outta gourd. Pissed at world, don't worry 'bout it. Haven't ever known anyone like that not t'waken. Knew a couple who showed up and then went poof. Not that many.

Should b'back soon, probably. If it's been a week, at least.

[no_dreams_for_you]

[He listens dutifully, focusing on a few key terms. He’s tired, but still alert enough to pay attention to the sound of her voice.]

Do you need assistance?

So he will either regain consciousness, or disappear. [Then why the hell is he letting Soushi stay in his bed…] Is there anything that should be done for him? Functionality-wise.

[samantha_grey]

s'ok. Saw things didn' want to. Nothing I can do bout it here. [She grunted and rifled around before switching to video. She looked healthy enough, though definitely a little worse for wear and pissed off. Blearily, she held up a pen and grinned.]

Draw on his face.

[comeonthensexy]

[ Oh. Soushi. ]

It's not a first. He'll be fine. But I could have a look at him anyway, if you'd like. Try healing him.

[Video]

[no_dreams_for_you]

[Oh good, someone that knows him! And considering his mishap last time, Gaara feels a little timid and uncertain around the Doctor. Fortunately, he can conceal it with his current fatigue.]

This is… a common occurrence? [He hesitates, and then nods briskly in agreement.] If it won’t be an inconvenience to you. Come to the Odin household, Room 201.

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

I wouldn't call it common, but it's happened before.

[ But, yes, he'll start moving. ]

[Video]

[no_dreams_for_you]

I see. [Gaara peers at Soushi, concern furrowing his brows.] Is there anything that should be done for him? I've attempted not to aggravate his current state.

[Voice]

[hadbadays]

That's... a really long time, yeah. I could have a look at him.

[Voice]

[no_dreams_for_you]

[Gaara doesn’t recognize this man, but decides to set aside his discomfort around strangers for the sake of Soushi’s health.]

Your cooperation is appreciated. His current location is the Odin household, Room 201.

[Voice]

[hadbadays]

Right. I'll be there in half an hour.

[ Why don't they have cars in this place. ]

[Voice]

[no_dreams_for_you]

[Clearly, the gods think they're all out of shape.]

Very well. Do you require any supplies?

[voice]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Oh, fuck.

[He doesn't sound so much concerned as like this is the straw that broke his back on a really shitty day, but he does have more to say.]

Lemme know what you find out, alright?

[voice]

[no_dreams_for_you]

[Ah, another familiar voice! Although he still doesn't know the other's name either.]

Are you acquainted with Soushi Miketsukami?

[And he'll just candidly remark, because he sees no reason to refrain from it.] ...You seem distressed.

[voice]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Yeah, I know him. Just don't ask me to say his last name.

[It's a weak attempt at humour, and he's not that surprised when he gets called on the stress in his tone.]

Forget that. Just tell me if he turns out to be in a coma or something.

[voice]

[no_dreams_for_you]

[It's not that hard to pronounce... It really is, actually.]

I see. [Brief pause.] What is your name? [Because it's occurred to him that they haven't introduced themselves to each other yet.]

He hasn't been properly diagnosed yet, although that is what someone theorized. [But it doesn't make sense to Gaara.] He didn't suffer contusions to the head, or anything else of the sort. I wouldn't allow harm to befall him.
