Her imperial what?

[fuckincakewake]

[ Muffled! ]

Condescension.

Duh.

[ofbreath]

[Eye... brow...?]

[fuckincakewake]

[ Whateverrrrrr. Not worth the talk. Waves the topic aside weakly. ]

You mentioned something about drugging me out of my mind on cough syrup?

[ofbreath]

Oh are you accepting the Nyquil now? [>|]

[fuckincakewake]

[ Lifts her head, little yawn. ]

Oh, is that not available anymore?

[ofbreath]

You're kind of a pain in the ass when you're sick, you know that? [He pours the liquidy gross into the little medicine cup and offers it.]

[fuckincakewake]

[ Big, charming smile. Isn't she always? Roxy takes the Nyquil from John and pulls a little face. ]

What am I supposed to wash it down with?

[ofbreath]

[Quirks an eyebrow.]

You're not supposed to wash it down, it's liquid. It tastes kinda gross but it'll work better if you don't dilute it.

And you can't have alcohol with decongestants anyway!!

[fuckincakewake]

[ Holding her nose, eying the liquid suspiciously. ]

Says who?

[ofbreath]

Says me!! There's a drug in the Nyquil that slows down your heart rate and you're not supposed to have alcohol with it you could die.

[fuckincakewake]

[ Groans! Faceplant against the blankets again- careful! She's gonna spill the tiny Nyquil cup at this rate! ]

Good. Let me die.

[ofbreath]

[GNTjkrffdh, takes it from her.]

Oh my God I am going to stick this up your nose. What the hell would make you say something like that? Don't you care about yourself? About the people that are your friends?

[fuckincakewake]

[ Good, get it away from her. It smells rancid. Raises her head, hair disheveled, eyebrows up. ]

Can't you take a joke? You have a worse sense of humor than Rosie.

[Roxy, just because you are miserable, don't take it out on John! ]

john you are being such a grumpy girl right now.

[ofbreath]

[Just huffs and rolls his eyes, tossing the cup at a trashcan and making a face at her.]

I'm trying to help you, because you're sick, and you're making jokes like "let me die"! I dunno if you can remember this because you're kind of drunk all the time, but a lot of us have had people we care about die? And I'm kind of sick of it, so it's not a funny joke to me.

omg hes precious

[fuckincakewake]

[ Surprised at John's tossing of the medicine, but her expression evens out when John finished his little hissyfit. Level, poker face stare. No, hadn't thought of that, but is definitely thinking of it now. ]

Yeah. My mom died too. And for the record, it's not something you forget with booze, though not for my lack of trying. But hey, thanks for reminding me.

[ If this was a comic book there would be icicles dripping from her words right about now. Snakes a hand out to grab the NyQuil bottle from John, taking off the top of it herself. ]

he's sort of a brat and i love it >_>;

[ofbreath]

[Huffs, letting her take the bottle.]

Then don't act like it's such a casual matter. Your mom died, my dad died, Rose's mom, Dave's bro, Jade's grandpa... We're basically all orphans or dead in one timeline or another, so it's really not funny.

smooshes his faceee

[fuckincakewake]

[Rolls her eyes, struggling with this cap. This is embarrassing. Little growl! ]

Yeah, and there's probably a timeline where I'm not sick and miserable, I don't see your point. Other than I don't get why you have to take me so seriously. Jake and Janey never did.

[ Because he isn't Jake and Jane! My god Roxy, your fever is boiling your brain. Cracks the bottle open and takes a swig from it. Ugh! that's the most disgusting thing she's ever drank, and you have no idea what poor choices in scotch her mom's had while selecting alcohol for her daughter. ]

abububu

[ofbreath]

[He goes to take the bottle from her but she gets it, and he just fixes her with an irritated expression.]

Because I'm not Jake or Janey, and I don't take jokes about people dying very well. Prankster's Gambit nonwithstanding, there's nothing funny about death.

sorry for lateness, long commute home!

[fuckincakewake]

[ Gagging! Bluh! Bluh! This is gross! Why did you make her take this. Oh right, because you care about her. Well cut it out!

Sticking her tongue out from the aftertaste, groans and lies back against the pillows. Grumpy glare at the ceiling. ]

no worries! sleep for me soon, i work at ass oclock.

[ofbreath]

[He just watches her for a while, and reclaims the bottle of Nyquil from her.]

...it'll help, I promise. [He's kind of subdued, now.]

chuu okay!!

[fuckincakewake]

[ Sigh! Now that the medicine is just a bad taste in her mouth, what she said to John before is starting to be one too. Pats a spot on the bed next to her- over the covers, don't get any ideas! ]

Sorry. That was shitty of me before, wasn't it?

chuuchuu

[ofbreath]

[He sort of grumps a little bit at her, and stays right where he is.]

You're sick. I'll get over it.

nuzzzlle

[fuckincakewake]

[ Ouch. Looks away from John. Neglect and passive aggression she's used to,but disappointment is a whole new, uncomfortable set of feelings Roxy isn't familiar with. Feels shitty too. ]

And I know you're not Jake and Janey. You just look like them, that's all.

[ofbreath]

And you look like Rose's mom. That doesn't mean I'm calling you Ms. Lalonde.

And I'm not upset about you saying I look like your friends or anything, it's.

...look, just drop it, okay?
