Someone call the whaaambulance!

[Aniki notices the heat first. It swims up from under her skin, starting, bizarrely, at the shoulders, rolling down her arms, back up and then down through her chest. She shivers, and her ears start to ring. She gives Chris a flushed, hazy look.] I hope this is what you meant by feeling a bit funny, lad. [It's getting a bit hard to sit up.]

I... actually, I'm not sure. [Not that he's about to admit that he had a miracle worker healer growing up, and afterwards most of his injuries were too large for simple medicine like aspirin to do the job so he's really never used it much. He's a bit worried by the reaction, though.] How many did you take?

I don't know. You didn't say how many I was supposed to. [Her stomach hurts, though that's just an intensifying of what she's felt for the last few days. The dizziness of the headache is back, too. Joy on joy.]

You were looking right at the bottle! I thought you were reading the instructions. [He paces a few steps, out of what looks to be just annoyance.]

[Glare. Though not a very focused one. And she'll be laying down now.] I was looking at the cracknobbed pictures on it. I assumed you'd say something if the rest was important.

How was I supposed to know? Don't you even have pills where you're from?

[Is not going to start the whole 'I'm from here' argument again.] Not like those! [She tries to take a breath around the heartbeat slowly climbing to a blacksmith's hammer in her throat. The stars look like they're melting, now, and she feels vaguely like she herself is melting into the ground.]

I think I might be needing a bit of help.

(ooc: ... Yeah. Chris accidentally enabled Aniki to poison herself. On accident. Really.)

[oh look it is a Martha! She's walking by when she notices Aniki] Are you stargazing, or is something wrong?

[ghostlighter]

Something's wrong. [Still pacing just a bit.] She overdosed on aspirin.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[Her vision seems watery, even though her eyes themselves are painfully dry.] Hullo, lass.

[marthajonesmd.livejournal.com]

[gives Aniki a comforting smile as she kneels down next to her, feeling for the pulse in her neck] Right, you lot probably don't have it, do you? D'you remember how much you took?

[ghostlighter]

I already asked her that. She says she doesn't. [Watches carefully.] Do you even know what you're doing?

[contract_star]

What did you do to her?

[ghostlighter]

Nothing on purpose, I swear.

[contract_star]

You gave her pills? Do you realize what kind of world she's from?

[ghostlighter]

What kind of—? Wha— No? She's human, isn't she? What does that matter?

[contract_star]

She's from a world where they rely on magic. They don't have technology--they don't have pills, Chris! You can't just give someone chemicals they've never been exposed to!

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

Aspirin. He said.

[contract_star]

Asp...he gave you aspirin? Aniki, how much did you take?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

Fair bit, I think.

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

[Approaching tentatively because GHOST.] So you guys know each other... [Stops as her feet sense the tachycardia.] Hey! Aniki, are you alright?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

It'll pass. [Waves a vacant hand that seems to multiply by 94872 as it moves]

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

But your heart is racing! I can feel it!

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

I'll be all right, lass. [...she's gotta stop worrying the children DX]

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

You don't know that for sure.

[ghostlighter]

... We just met. [Stepping back a little and still has no real idea what to do. fldkshkln Why does his life suck?]

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

Well what happened?

[ghostlighter]

She accidentally overdosed on pain medication.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

...what did you do to her?

[ghostlighter]

Nothing! I was just... trying to help.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Right. Well, it looks like you've done a good job of it.

[ghostlighter]

[Bit of a glare.] I see that, thanks. Do you know how to help, or are you just going to keep narrating from the sidelines?
