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?

[samantha_grey]

[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.

[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.

[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.

[kuramaless]

[Why don't you just push him out of it? He would. Or at least, he'd carry him off somewhere.]

Er. How long? That's like-- four days, right?

[no_dreams_for_you]

[Because Gaara isn’t that mean? Especially when he thinks Soushi is sick.

That’s hilarious, thinking Gaara is strong enough to do that by himself… He isn’t Lee.]

It is entering the fourth day. He should be returned to his household.

[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.

[kuramaless]

[It's not mean to move someone unwanted out of your bed. Sick or not, right?

He could help?]

Really? That's crazy!

Want me to come over?

[Video]

[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.

[Voice]

[hadbadays]

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

[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.

[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.

[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.

[no_dreams_for_you]

[Says the guy who would shove him on the floor…]

The effects of the curse have been reversed… He is fortunate in that regard. [Just wish it didn’t happen while Soushi was in his bed. Oh, the consequences of cuddling with a cute little black fox at night…]

If you want. Though I’ve yet to determine his room assignment.

[no_dreams_for_you]

[Once the video comes on, he peers more closely at her, brows furrowing with concern. He’s no medical expert, but he isn’t cold-hearted enough to not care.]

…Are you certain?

[He stares and blinks at that suggestion.] For what purpose?

>.> It kind of freaks me out when she's giggly.

[samantha_grey]

For the look on his face when he wakes up. Don't us'a permanament permanentamenta permaperma, hehehehehehe [She descended into sudden giggles over the word, giggles that did not sound very much like her mostly because she actually sounded amused in a fairly natural way, rather than her usual cynicism.]

Sorry. Like 'said, kinda drunk. Make sure't can wash off.

as long as she doesn't stab Gaara, that's okay with me! :D

[no_dreams_for_you]

...I see.

[That sounds pointless... Most likely, he will not do it.]

You should rest. [He still doesn't know her name, after all of these times that they've talked to each other.] So you can fully restore your cognitive senses.

[kuramaless]

[It would probably wake him up at the same time??]

Oh-- curse right.

[Yeah, he remembers that. Mhm.]

Well, I'll help ya move him, right? You guys have like-- a couch and stuff? He could sleep there or whatever.
