#002 - Rumblr/Action

[badbadguy]

A - Text

[Surprisingly, Westar actually does have a Rumblr account. Two of them. One for his regular identity, not really used that much. And one for his alter ego, Hayato. Mostly used for posting and reblogging pictures of food. Because what else would you use this for, right? Today, though, there's a small text post.

It's not private to friends, so anyone is free to respond to it... If they actually want to.]

okay so how can you be sure youre dying?

if it feels like youre dying thats probably enough right? wait does this mean i have to write a will because ive never written a will before. i have no idea what to even write in one.

......im pretty sure that this is what dying feels like though. if i stop posting assume i died.

B - Action

[Despite that little drama, this idiot is not dying. At all.

He isn't looking too good, though. He's lying on a park bench, awfully pale. If you get close enough, you may notice he's sweating.

...Yeah, he just has a fever.

He's holding a pen, staring at a piece of paper that is completely empty... except for the word 'WILL' at the top. All caps, bold.

Guess who has literally never been sick before and is freaking out needlessly? Yeah.]

[badbadguy]

Well, no. But I don't have any other explanation for my current state.

[...He looks like he has a bad cold at worst.]

[astronomically]

... Are you sure you're not just sick?

[ just gonna plop herself down on the end of the bench where there's a bit of room for her to sit. ]

You look kinda clammy and sniffy but that's just a cold, right?

[badbadguy]

...Sick?

[He looks incredibly confused, as if the very possibility never even occurred to him. Because... it hadn't.]

A... what now? I've never heard of a thing like that.

[astronomically]

[ ... hatato are you even ]

Yeah, sick! It's like, the opposite of healthy.

[ actually the opposite of healthy is more like dead but ]

Did you never get a cold when you were a little kid?

[badbadguy]

No, never.

In fact, I can safely say that I have never in my life been... "sick" before. Are you sure that's what this is?

[astronomically]

... well.

How do you feel? If you feel bad, and it's not because you got hurt or anything, you're probably sick.

[badbadguy]

"Bad" would definitely be the right word to describe this feeling. Also "awful" and "terrible".

...I've never been sick. How do I make it stop?

[astronomically]

Well, usually you just rest up for a couple of days and then you get better. Or you could go to the doctor and get some medicine. Or just buy some from a store!

Oh, and you need to eat healthy stuff, too.

[badbadguy]

[Mato, you are blowing his mind right now, slow down.]

Uh. Okay, I can do those things. Rest, medicine, healthy food...

Should I just buy all the medicine I can find? That should get rid of this cold quickly!

[astronomically]

No way! If you used that much medicine, you'd make yourself even more sick and you'd probably end up puking it all up.

You just gotta get cold medicine. Powder stuff, or tablets!

[badbadguy]

...It comes in different kinds?

[Great mysteries of the universe: How Westar has managed to survive for this long.]

[astronomically]

Yeah, loads of different kinds! ... I think. We usually just have tablets and liquid stuff at home, but I think liquid stuff is mostly for little kids 'cause they can't take pills.

[ never go to med school, Mato.

she kicks her feet absently, scuffing her soles against the ground. ]

Want me to come with you and get them? Since you probably dunno what you're looking for.

[badbadguy]

[His mind is still busy being blown. This world continued to amaze him.

Don't worry, Mato. To this moron, you sound like a freaking scholar.]

...That would probably be best, yes! I'm not sure if I'd pick the right ones.
