Who: Michael, Robin, Riku, and Rin
Broadcast: No
Action: Aboard the Bloodsport
When: Today -> until the plague is cured?

[After centuries of existence, having seen atrocities and having battled devils, including Satan himself, Michael has never felt anything quite like this.

Namely, being totally, utterly, helplessly sick. And much like many of the not-entirely mortal on the fleet, the angel has absolutely no idea how to deal with this admittedly novel experience. As the plague worsened, he's given up his usual cheerful attitude and any pretense of functioning.

Probably much to the chagrin of his healthier crewmates.

For now the miserable angel can be found slumped facedown over the arm of his couch, moaning dramatically into the upholstery. He'll be sure to moan extra loud if someone not sick happens to pass by.]

[ riku--who you only have to sneeze at within the same five mile radius before getting sick--is miraculously healthy. of course, this means that he's scrutinizing his crewmates' problems, and he's making amends. with both robin and michael sick (and robin can cover it up all he wants, but riku knows his posture and his scent, and it's off) riku has taken it upon himself to make a little something.

... of course, this means he's running across the ship a bit. he crosses michael three times--to get his notebook, running back to find where he put his communicator, and to finally sit down as the soup he made finishes cooking. it's hard to make soup with the limited resources they have. he's definitely going to put his money towards a kitchen upgrade next time he can afford it.

every time, he hears that loud moan and riku looks up at the ceiling as if we were saying dear light, he's still at it.

riku comes to him a fourth time, but this time, he has a bowl of clear broth with some unidentified root vegetables, chicken solids and unidentified poultry. ]

You've got chicken noodle soup in your world, right?

[Michael lifts his head up from where he'd had it pillowed on the arm of the couch, looking at Riku with a bleary-eyed kind of expression]

That's the stuff that comes in cans, isn't it?

[So maybe his perceptions of Earth are somewhat colored by commercials. Or he's also being a smartass. That's kind of what it smells like, even according to his congested sinuses. Mostly salt. Not his favorite thing in the world.

He'll probably be right on board for that upgrade if anyone brings it up. At least he'll have sugar. Maybe.]

[ flatly; ]

The good kind doesn't come in cans.

[ excuse you he slaved over a hot stove for this! well, hot microwave, really, but you'd be surprised how macgyver riku can get when stuff isn't around. ]

You have to eat something if you wanna get better.

[He tries to scowl but scrunching up his face only makes it hurt, and he puts a hand against his forehead]

It's never been an issue before.
