driftfleet | duck tales, oo-ooh!

Yeah, thanks.

[ seriously, what a good friend. Isaac rolls his eyes either way and plops back down on his bed to burrow into the blankets a little bit more. he feels like death, okay. ]

I didn't ask you to try to come down here with your food juggling act, okay. [ though it's not as sharp as it usually is, because he's actually pretty grateful. ]

Yeah, thanks, it's alright. This weird girl gave it to me.

I heard that weird girl used some real meat in the soup she made. Sounds like she's pretty awesome like that.

[She grins at the eye roll, opting to lean against the wall near the ladder and hatch, grabbing her own soup. Spoon are included, by the way.]

We're out of fresh greens, too, but that's fine. Much longer and they wouldn't have been too green anymore.

[Octavia takes a bite, pauses, then nods.] Worked out well.

I guess that weird girl is okay, then. I am done with powdered and gelled food.

[ but the fact that the soup might have something real in it makes the world. so he gets his spoon and takes a bite, humming contentedly both at the warmth of it and the flavor. ]

Jade can help with the greens, she does that weird vegetable magic. [ he shrugs, stuffs another spoonful of soup into his mouth. ]

S'good. [ he says while taking another bite, no big deal. ]

[Said weird girl snorts into her soup between bites.]

She can? That'll help with real food. [A loud slurping noise goes here.] Guess we'd better up our hunting on the next planet. Another couple days and we might be out of meat.

[Octavia shifts her weight from one foot to the other.]

On Arslae, I went on several hunting trips with Nova and more with others. Since we were from different ships, we had to split what we got. [Right now she's more musing aloud than anything else.] Maybe if we form a party from crewmates on this ship it'd work better.

Yeah, I mean it's what she told me. She has this bracelet from the god world or something. I don't know.

[ he cannot think, what with the brick of phlegm in his head. seriously he feels like he's screaming down a tunnel with every new sniffle. ] I can help, might be good if we can get a good supply going. It beats gel and powder by a mile.

[ it's no burger or pizza or barbecue, but he'll take it. it tastes like real food for once. ] I'll tell her to give it all to us next time. She doesn't need it. [ he's joking, maybe. ]

Sounds about as normal as anything else in this place.

[One last slurp and she sets the bowl down where it was before. Octavia hooks her thumbs in her pants pockets to just stand there all chill and whatever.]

A couple miles, actually, and I'm still okay with those. Says a lot. [And then she snorts.]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure she'd stab you with something if you did that.

I think she's probably tried to stab me already. She definitely threw toilet paper at my head.

[ god, the Marisva was a sight to behold on that day. anything would beat being sick, though, and just the thought of doing something ridiculous to piss Atroma off makes him perk up a little. ]

I don't know, this tastes like actual soup and not power and chemicals, so, yeah a few miles at least.

Pretty sure you deserved that somehow. [Knowing both of them, even a little, Octavia knows she's making the right call.]

Eh, powder and chemicals can have their moments. But you'd be hard pressed to get anyone else to agree.

By the way, there's leftover soup. I stashed some in a bowl in the back of the fridge. Third shelf.

I don't know, she just has anger issues.

[ pot, meet kettle. ] There's more? [ why is she being so nice to him? he stifles a sneeze into the crook of his elbow and sniffles. ]

Er. Yeah, thanks. [ he can't seem too excited, okay. but this soup is actually pretty amazing! ] You don't care if I have it?

No way! She's totally fine if you're not a dick to her. [She raises her eyebrows at him. Right, Isaac?

His reaction gets a snort of laughter from her, and she shakes her head.]

The giant pot is for everyone-- The stuff I mentioned is yours. No one else sounds as bad as you right now.

I don't know, Bird Dave sounds pretty shitty, too. But he's just whining probably. Exaggerating.

[ except where Dave really isn't, most likely. neither of them are used to being sick, okay? ]

Yeah, but his sneezes sound like chirps where yours are barks.

[Octavia grins, not even hiding her amusement at the crappy jokes.]

I don't bark. I'm a werewolf not some house dog.

[ he glares at her, but it's ruined by a sneeze into his elbow yet again that only leaves him looking miserably, holding his head back and sniffling before he just flops backward onto his bed. ]

This sucks.

Never met a werewolf before you, so I've got no other comparison.

[She stays leaning against the wall, not moving to help or leave.]

Sounds like it. Still sounded like a bark, though.

Whatever, it wasn't a bark.

[ he rolls his eyes and reaches for his soup again to finish it. ] You can sit down, there's room here or the chair you know.

[ seriously who stands all of the time? ]

Right, my bad. [But the look on her face totally says otherwise.

Octavia goes to the chair and sits, leaning back.]

So how'd you come down with this, anyway?

Probably being on a freak alient planet with freakishly cold alien weather I don't know. I'm not supposed to get sick. I heal on the spot, colds and illnesses wouldn't stand a chance.

[ and yet here he is, whining, with the sniffles. ]

I don't think you said freak enough. Maybe a couple more for emphasis.

[Octavia chuckles a bit.]

I probably have a spare blanket if you want to borrow it.

Shut up.

[ she's infuriating, but she's being nice to him so he'll not throw something at her for now ]

I'm warm enough, but I'll let you know if I do. Don't want to spread my space germs. Or whatever.

Wow, rude.

[Not that she cares at all. She raises a brow.]

Dunno, I've been hanging around you often enough. Guess I'm good.

Or you'll get it any second.

[ he rolls his eyes at her and flops backward on his bed dramatically, tugging the covers up nearly under his chin. he's quiet for a moment before he looks over at Octavia. ]

Watch, this will be the one time we get attacked, when I can't help.

Then I'm taking the soup back. That's all.

[He gets a one shouldered shrug in return.]

Guess I'll have to have it covered.

H-hey! You can't just take the soup back. You already gave it to me. Offered it to me. Whatever.

[ he's about to say something else but it just comes out as a pathetic sneeze and sniffle combo. ]

I can still fight, I just might sneeze them to death, too. Don't believe me, we can spar right now if you want.

I'm kidding. Down boy. [Octavia holds out a hand in a 'stop' motion in a lame ass attempt to calm him a little.]

Who are you trying to convince, me or yourself? I just want to know if I should even take this seriously right now.

[ he huffs and slumps back into bed, tugging the blankets around him for warmth. ]

I mean if you want. I could probably still take you. Maybe. I've never been sick before and tried to fight.
