☠ FOUR ☠ [VIDEO]

[When the feed comes on the scene it shows would be normal, if it weren't for a couple of key elements being rather off. Astrid is at the forefront of it all, cleaning off a rather sharp bloody looking knife with a cloth. There are some ripped up cloth bandages, some of them bloody, strewn along the top of the kitchen table she's sitting at. Off to her side is a rather pale looking Hiccup, one of his arms bandaged up in the same cloth strips. It isn't very hard to make the connection.

That isn't the only strange thing though - on Hiccup's forehead there seems to be stuck a bright yellow post-it note, with some runes scribbled on it. He looks a little miserable and sick, but Astrid herself seems healthy as ever. She takes only a moment more before adjusting the angle of the feed before sitting back entirely, continuing to clean the blade as she speaks.]


There really is a lot of sickness going around, isn't there? It's pretty unnerving. I figured either Hiccup or I would catch it, so I decided to be prepared. Good thing too, considering I was right and Hiccup did end up sick.

[Sliding the knife through the cloth one more time, she holds it up to her eyes closely for inspection before deeming it blood free, before tossing it onto the table with a little too much force, causing Hiccup to wince at the noise it makes.]

Like my mom used to always teach me, the best way to be on the offense of an illness is to go on the defense. That's why I've been praying to Eir every day extra hard. I even caught a goose in the park and sacrificed it to her when Hiccup got sick, just for good measure. I told Hiccup to pray too, but I guess he didn't pray enough.

[At that Hiccup rolls his eyes, but shoots Astrid a grimace of a smile when she glances his way.]

But it's alright. He'll get better and he already has started to feel better, haven't you Hiccup? [There's a nod, but...it isn't that enthusiastic.] I've put the proper runes on him, bled him a little bit, fed him garlic and even made him medicine out of herbs. I think the elder of our village would be pretty proud of me right now.

Anyway, I've been carving a few charms out of wood since they're better than post-it notes and last longer, and was wondering if anyone who's sick would like one. I can also help bleed you if you'd like. I'm really good at holding people down, even if they struggle!

So, let me know, alright?

[ooc: Both Hiccup and Astrid will be replying to your comments! Don't pity Hiccup though. He feels sorry enough for himself already. 8|]

Okay. Uh. [This is a new and weird problem. Even Gilbert knows what the hospital is.] It's a big building where all the healers work.

Anyway, if your friend is really sick, you should take him there.

Good. To tell you the truth, we don't have much room for people anyway. That's why they started sending people over to the stadium.

It's the opposite of good.

[personal profile] inthejunk 2012-05-31 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
...Yeah. I guess so.

[Because like hell he's admitting sickness to someone who thinks garlic and bloodless will help.]
inthejunk: (aw jeez...)

That is what happened last time.

[Go to real school, Astrid.]

Sort of. It's hard to explain.

[Congratulations, not many people can get Yosuke to face palm all the time like this.]

I did, but it wasn't me. So it's as complicated as figuring that out.

I feel the same way.

[He'd explain, but he's still trying to figure it out for himself.]
inthejunk: (uuuh)

[personal profile] inthejunk 2012-06-24 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
Uh. Mostly.

[For some reason or another, he doesn't seem entirely convinced. But this is a really uncomfortable subject, so he'll just be changing it now.]

Anyway, you should really go take your friend to see a doctor.
