Video-backdated a few hours to early afternoon

[inthejunk]

[The kid on the video doesn't look so hot. Not in an ate too much candy sort of way, either. He's pale and clammy and his lips aren't a healthy color. His eyes are dilated. He should probably be in bed. In fact, he probably is. But he's got something important to say first, judging by the serious expression on his face.]

Ah. I hope it doesn't ruin the holiday atmosphere, but I guess I should warn everyone. If someone gives you chocolates and you don't know them very well-

[He stops, curls up a bit. Ow, his freakin' insides...but before he can properly complain about those, he bumps something behind him. It turns out to be a plastic IV line, and when the cart falls over it tugs him hard enough to make him knock his head against a vacuum chamber, hanging around conveniently in case any patients in the area need their stomach pumped. Yosuke makes a frustrated, whiny sound.]

Ow! Ugh...anyway, please don't take candy from strangers. It might make you sick.

Poison?

Re: video.

[inthejunk]

[He groans a little, but nods.]

Drugs, poison, you name it. At school I got a lot of chocolates from pretty girls. I thought it was finally my lucky year, but I guess not.

[Katniss gets a wry smile before he curls up on himself again. He's glad to see her still around and doing alright.]

Do you need anything? I could get some herbal remedies, see if Prim has anything she can give you...

Re: video.

[inthejunk]

Besides my ego? I'm alright.

[Though he can't quite play it cool, try though he might. His innards twist and burn again, and he has to stop and hug himself. A light sheen of sweat breaks out on his face.]

Uuuh. Okay, I guess my stomach hurts too. They sent me to a clinic when I got sick at school, but they're still trying to figure out what was in the candy.

[reassures]

[inthejunk]

1215. There's a whole department for toxic ingestion. I never even knew.

[reassures]

[Deadpool just stares for a moment, and then shakes his head and laughs]

You should watch some after school specials buddy.

Re: Video

[inthejunk]

It wasn't after school, it was at school!

[Groooan. Why does no one ever mention that being poisoned feels really, really bad?]

There were girls...

[the_dead_pool2]

[He moves a hand over his head]

And ZOOM there it goes right over your head.

[He blinks for a second]

There are always girls, you should be glad they haven't set your pants on fire. Though I think the scarier thing might be some of the poison may have been unintentional. I mean there aren't a lot of quality girls like Bea Arthur around anymore.

[ Video ] PRETEND THERE'S CHOCOLATE ON HIS CHIN RATHER THAN BLOOD

[maddeninghatter]

[ ... ]

Eh?

Oh good cause that would not go over well

[inthejunk]

[Groooan. His insides hurt, dude. Don't make him repeat himself!]

Candy. At school, some girls gave me chocolates, and- Ah!

[He curls up tightly, sweating and drooling a but. Yeah, it's safe to say this is mistake he'd rather not see other people make.]

They were bad.

[maddeninghatter]

Are you sure it was quality and not quantity that made you ill?

[makeflowersgrow]

[If he's not too sick to notice, Eponine is more dolled up than he will have ever seen her. And there is glitter all over her face. she's obviously at work. she sounds anxious though]

Yosuke! You're sick again? Monsieur, you would not last two minutes onthe street. Are you okay? Is someone with you?

[inthejunk]

What's that supposed to mean? It's not my fault someone gave me something bad to eat.

[Hmmph. It's just rude that people keep lecturing him when he's ill.]

[makeflowersgrow]

I mean only that you seem always to be sick, Yosuke. It is better to keep it in than out. You waste food - and we do not have such money for you to waste it being sick now.

[asano_san]

They're doing things to chocolate again?

Re: Video

[inthejunk]

[Groan.]

What do you mean again? This happened before?

[asano_san]

I had some chocolates last year and-

It doesn't matter! But I know there are people out there who think it's funny to mess with Valentine's chocolates.

action; let's Tarantino this shit

[FIVE HOURS EARLIER

The scene opens to a pleasant day. Gilbert is preparing to leave for the bakery. There's plenty to do today, baked goods to sell, cakes to decorate. All sorts of things that will require his full attention. He's packing himself a lunch, a boring one by anyone's standards. A sandwich, probably. Yes, it's proving to be an uneventful, perfectly ordinary day.

Little does he know that this fucking guy is about to ruin all of that. :|

Yosuke enters stage left.]

Re: action; awyeah

[inthejunk]

[Yosuke practically floats into the kitchen, in fact. There's a bit of actual skipping, which he plans to deny vehemently later. A pair of skinny arms wrap around Gilbert's neck from behind in an embrace that's probably cozier than most bro hugs. Hey, that's just how good of a mood Yosuke's in! His usual touchy feliness has apparently been stepped up a bit. And he snatches an apple slice out of Gilbert's lunch bag. Then begins gushing about something with his mouth full.]

'F a nife day oud! You shoulf gry doing fhe veriferief yourfewf!

[retraced]

Hey!

[Unacceptable!! Both the awkward hug and the food stealing, for real. He scowls and reaches up with both hands to grab Yosuke's arms and try to shove him away.]

Don't just take other people's food without their permission! And don't talk with your mouth full either, you'll choke on it!

[summing_it_up]

Oh, man. Obviously you're not okay.

[inthejunk]

[Groan.]

To tell you the truth I've felt better.

[summing_it_up]

Really? Compared to this?
