[05] Inactive? Lies! Lies and slander, I say!

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

[And in pops one (1) Danny Fenton, along with his bed and a box of tissues. He is quite obviously sick, what with how pale and weak he looks. Even if you didn't see him you'd know he was sick--what with the sneezing and raspy, weak voice.]

Ugh, great. Just what I needed. Another month in bed throwing up and not being able to breathe.

At least it's quieter here.

[Insert a coughing fit that lasts a good minute or so.]

[Remus hesitates, knowing one doesn't always want company at times like this, but decides to risk it anyway; he can leave very easily, anyway

so he approaches with a sympathetic smile] One of the things I like about it. Temperate, too.

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's pretty nice to be able to come here whenever I just want to get away from home. And no one starts worrying that I've gone missing, either.

[lamb_of_gold]

Exposed to the elements?

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess. I haven't really been out that much, though.

[lamb_of_gold]

And yet you look as though you're recovering from a stroll through a frozen lake.

[The concept of "getting sick" is a bit foreign to this guy. But not lost on, thankfully.]

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

I didn't do anything--I just started feeling sick one day and then it got worse. I might as well have fallen into a lake, though, the way I feel right now.

[lamb_of_gold]

Come down with something, then?

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

[Staring at Mu, as if it were obvious (http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/96835485/14821318).]

Uh, yeah. I must've caught some nasty strain of the flu or something.

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

[deciding to be helpful, Sebastian waits until Danny is done coughing before he speaks] I could get you chocolate or a stuffed animal.

[lamb_of_gold]

I'm well aware you're sickly. I was curious as to whether this was related.

[oncemarauder.livejournal.com]

[he nods, and after a moment] They mean well, but they can be...stifling.

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

I don't know. Probably not, but I don't think the flu is normally this bad.

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

I'd prefer medicine. I don't think whatever I'm taking right now is actually helping.

[lamb_of_gold]

[can feel for fever y/n?]

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's it. I know they're just being nice and all, but I wish they'd stop asking how I'm doing every thirty seconds. It gets really annoying after a while.

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

Hey, whoa! What are you doing? [leans back a bit in his bed.]

[lamb_of_gold]

Fever is telltale of the flu.

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

That doesn't sound good.

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know that already--oh, I get it now.

Thanks, but I already took my temperature earlier.

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

It isn't. [sniiiiiffle, why didn't he bring tissues with him?] It's been a while since I've been this sick.

[oncemarauder.livejournal.com]

[wry grin] And then you'll snap at them, and they'll make you feel horribly guilty for it...

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

...and then you apologize and things go back to normal until it happens all over again.

[oncemarauder.livejournal.com]

Like clockwork. [shakes his head, smile lingering] I'm Remus, by the way.

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

Oh, uh, I'm Danny.

So...does that sort of thing happen a lot to you?

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

Then it seems like medicine isn't particularly helpful.

[oncemarauder.livejournal.com]

Fairly regularly. [wistful, lopsided smile] An accident when I was young left me infected.

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

Really? Infected with what?

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

Maybe. I hope I somehow just got the wrong medicine or something...

[oncemarauder.livejournal.com]

[smoothly] A very rare illness with a lot of syllables in. It doesn't affect me constantly, but when it strikes...

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

I thought that was dangerous.

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

You get sick a lot?

And then I wasn't dead anymore!

[lamb_of_gold]

Running high?

You'll forgive my prying - where I grew up, fevers were sometimes fatal.

and the day was saved...thanks to the Powerpuff Girls!

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

...not really. [This boy is a bad liar. It was 102F last time he checked, and it's actually risen a little since then.]

[lamb_of_gold]

[The look on Mu's face clearly says he believes no bullshit]

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

What?

[He gives Mu a grumpy look for a few minutes, but eventually caves. Weak-wiiiiiilled.]

102 degrees.

[lamb_of_gold]

Try ginger tea.

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

Ginger tea?

[lamb_of_gold]

It helps to ease a fever.

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

No way. It can't actually lower the fever...can it?

[lamb_of_gold]

Ginger is well known for it's medicinal properties.
