Video 11 → Flu Season.

[irregular]

[This isn't so much an accidental video as it is a deeply impulsive one, because some people never learn. The feed clicks on to show Ken, still dressed in a coat and scarf with snow melting on his shoulders, standing in an apartment kitchen surrounded by brown paper shopping bags, holding the camera about a foot or so from his face.]

Hey, guys. I have a question.

[Serious face on.]

Is it starve a fever and feed a cold? Or is it the other way round? See, my roommate's sick and I just got all this stuff and I don't normally - I don't get colds so I'm kinda... what do you do for them? Should she be eating or not and is packet soup okay, I'm not that great at cooking or anything so I don't wanna poison her and - and maybe I should call a doctor.

Okay. Is there a doctor out there? Who isn't Muraki? I think I need a doctor. Not for me!

I'm a doctor.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

[Oh, of course--]

I shoulda just called you to begin with, huh?

[doctor-tatsu27.livejournal.com]

That's the logical conclusion.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'm only trying to do this right! And you answered, right?

[doctor-tatsu27.livejournal.com]

I can come over now to check on her.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

That... yeah. That would be great. She's pretty sick and it's not gonna help if she can't eat anything.

[beyondweiss.livejournal.com]

How is she doing?

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

Huh? Oh, uh... she's okay, I guess, except she's sick. I mean, it doesn't look like anything weird. I just... I kinda don't want to mess up on this one, Aya.

[Again.]

[beyondweiss.livejournal.com]

You'll be fine, Ken. Just make sure she stays in bed and gets some medicine in her.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

Doctor Sohma called. He said he'd come check up on her. I guess I should leave that bit up to him... I mean I got her some cold stuff, but he's probably got something better.

[beyondweiss.livejournal.com]

He's a good doctor. He'll know what to do.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

[Ken may or may not have relaxed a little at that.]

Right. Good. That's... good to know, Aya. Do you want me to ask if he'll take a look at Omi, too?

[nie_unschuldig]

Of course you don't need one, idiots can't get sick.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

And what's that supposed to mean, jackass?

[nie_unschuldig]

[Why so mean Ken?]

Isn't it obvious? I even used small words so you'd understand.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

Sounds like you're pretty healthy too.

[nie_unschuldig]

Of course I am, but I'm not the one who said I don't get colds. I've been sick before.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

And that's an achievement now? You don't look after yourself, yay for you.

[Oh this is just what she needs, to be scared out of her wits. RINGING YOU FROM BED NOW.]

You're not telling Hatori, are you?!

[Video]

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

He already called. Why are you ringing me up, I'm only in the kitchen.

[Video to Action]

[stillneedsakiss.livejournal.com]

[Dreamberry is tossed aside and catches only rustling sounds from someone getting out of bed and padding out of the room. Aya appears in the kitchen holding her pillow.]

Okay... Since you think it's better for me to be out of bed anyway...!

[She swings the pillow at Ken's head.

Thankfully, given the weakness of her body from being ill, this is an even more pitiful attack than it would be normally.]

Why did you make that visible to him?! What if he comes over?

[1/3]

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

Aya? What are you doing out of--

[2/3]

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

[HEY WAIT WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING ACK PILLOW. OF. DEATH--

[Wait, shouldn't I be trying to duck?]

[3/3]

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

[Oi!]

Why shouldn't he come, he's a doctor, right? And - and why aren't you in bed anyway, you're gonna fall over!

[stillneedsakiss.livejournal.com]

[Aya might be sounding just a little in hysterics.]

Why are you asking me that? You're the one who said "Why are you ringing me up, I'm only in the kitchen," weren't you?!

[Here comes another swing. Will you take this one in the face, too?]

Is he coming now? Do I need to get dressed? What am I going to do about the smell in my room? Ahhh, Ken you dummy!
