017 - Numb

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

[There is a bed.

It's a big one even. With fine, soft sheets, though it's a bit untidy. The red baldachins that are supposed to be around it, are all torn down, lying on the ground next to the bed.

There is something else next to the bed on the ground, half under the curtains. Or rather someone. Why yes, it's Juliet! Breathing heavily even.]

Nnh... [He frowns and trying to sit up, with trembling limbs. His pajamas are torn slightly too, and he looks weak. He actually can't really move his body. There must be a drug which makes that!]



((ooc: Guess who they wanted to kidnap? And used drugs on so he won't be able to move?? Yeah, so Juliet is pretty much escaped to the Plane in a middle of an attack, and waiting for the effect of the drug to fade so he can go back, and kick ass, and all. But right now, he barely can raise his arms or move his legs.))

[Ianto drops, returning a few moments later with a standard Torchwood resealable plastic bag filled with some sort of alien powder and a glass of water. He might be a little too amused by this, but he's not a complete ass. Well, not always.] A bit stuck there, are we?

[groans] Just what I needed, your mighty presence, King Lear~

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

I think you'll find my presence is exactly what you need. [Have a not quite trust-worthy smile.] How much do you trust me, Juliet?

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

[Paces himself on his elbows, trembling, to look at him.] That must be a very tricky question, my friend~ I never thought you're this playful~

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[Shrugs] That depends on how I'm feeling.

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

Ad how do you feel now~? Good? Tricky~? Or sad~? [smiles, and lays back because it's better than just suddenly fall...]

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Didn't I ask you a question first?

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

Did you now? Oh my, I thought it's a rhetorical one~! [chuckles] Of course I trust you, my majesty~ [BEAMS~ which means if he comes closer, Juliet will bite...]

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[Adding some of the powder to the water, then holding out the glass... and hoping his fingers survive. :\] Good. Now drink.

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

[asdfasdf I really shouldn't tag when I'm half asleep... *eyes the tag before*]

H-haa...? No! [frowns] First let me know what that is!

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[At least you've been tagging?]

I'm afraid that's classified information.

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

[Stiiiillll....T~T AND ICON FAIL. So not my day. XD]

[Just sort of... stares.] I won't drink it...

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[...XD We all have our days!]

[Grins.] If was trying to kill you I'd at least be subtle about it.

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

[snort] How should I know how you kill people? Take it away!

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Who said I've killed anyone? [Still holding it out, btw. :|]

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

[Pushes himself up heavily again, with trembling hands, then rests his back against the bed. Still just looking.] And who said I need any help?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

No-one. You just looked like you needed some.

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

W-well I don't! [frustrated sigh] ...What it's supposed to do?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

So far as we can tell? It helps reverse drug-induced paralysis. Unless you've broken your spine or something, this should help.

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

Ara... [blinks] So kings lately not just stalk but research these things~? I'm really curious about your world now.

[Bites lip. He can't really hold a glass right now...! D:]

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't be. It isn't pretty.

[Tilts the glass forwards. He's not forcing him to drink, but if he wants he should be able to.]

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

Oya, the king says bad things about his kingdom. How rude~

I-If anything happens to me, Romeo will be very angry, your majesty. [Final note, before he looks at the glass. Then takes a deep breath and moves his head closer to the drink to take a little sip. He's so gonna hate Ianto after this...]

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

A king should be honest, especially about the state of his kingdom.

You'll need to drink more than that. The worst part is the after-taste; a bit like orange Calpol really. Other than that it'll do you no harm.

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

Mm, but not for strangers~ They might want to take over.

[Groans as he almost chokes on his next few sips, missing a few drops even. He closes his eyes shut, always hated taking any medicine.] Ew... [coughs]

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Maybe it already has been.

I know... I always preferred strawberry myself.
