Event Log: Flu Season

[hadrielmods]

Who: All characters
What: The event log for the Flu Season event
Where: All over the city
When: March 20th-March 30th
Warnings: Gross sneezing, sick people, and paranoia

It starts with a cough, a sneeze, a sore throat - something small and simple, easily ignored. But then your symptoms get worse. It's probably been awhile since you've been sick, that sort of thing doesn't usually happen here. You might be able to raid the shops for some tissues and tea before it gets too bad, and hopefully you've got a friend to help out until you get better. Surely it'll be over soon, right?

Until the fever sets in, and you start to understand why your friend is really there. They don't want to take care of you. They want to make sure this is the last anyone will ever see of you. They want to learn all your secrets. They want to steal your most precious possession. You know they're plotting against you, you know they're keeping something from you. What will you do to find out what it is?

Then, as the sickness fades, you realize it was all in your mind. Let's hope you didn't do or say anything too awful. But that friend of yours... they seem to have picked up your cough. Maybe you should help them out?

[glacius]

For someone who often stresses so much about the nuances of romance, Carlisle can be fairly smooth at it when he wants to be. The way his fingertips trail down Glacius' chest and arm to his hand is both soothing and enticing; the alien has to admit that while he'd normally prefer to be up and about and being useful as much as possible, the chance to rest together does sound very appealing right about now.

"Yes... you have the right idea, my partner. There is something to be said for being back in my right mind, is there not?" Glacius huffs out a little chuckle. He's not able to completely ignore the twinge of guilt he feels recalling his behavior from the days prior, but he's doing his best not to dwell on it, as he knows his partner has already forgiven it. He follows his partner down onto the couch, sitting and slumping gently against the human.

"Well. I'll just have to spend the next few days being extra attentive to make up for all the work you've put in looking out for me. How does that sound? A fair deal, no?"

"A fair deal indeed," Carlisle agrees, nestling himself against Glacius, the furs of the mantle and the coolness of his chest inviting. They can properly make up their affections lost in the previous days later, once they are sure the fever has fully passed; for now, he's happy to simply close his eyes and rest. He mentally lists out a few changes to make to his glyphs as his mind drifts away, the presence of his partner more than enough to put him at ease.
