Number II - When you're hot, you're hot... [Video]

[nobody_number_8]

[Axel's face appears on the screen, and even shadowed by the hood of his coat- which in itself is unusual, since he tends not to like the hood- he doesn't look too well. He also seems to be bundled up in a thick gray blanket. When he speaks, his voice sounds tired and hoarse, as if he'd been coughing a lot recently.]

Hey, everybody. Guess what? Turns out Nobodies aren't immune to this bug that's going around...

[He's forced to pause there, as he trails off into a coughing fit. He gives a faint groan when he manages to regain his breath, seeming to try and curl deeper into his coat and blanket.]

Dammit... [He sighs hoarsely.] Just... fair warning for anybody that might think of visiting.... don't touch me, OK? Unless you wanna burn your hand, that is. One of the fun side effects of being a fire-user with a fever, ya know...

[Another, briefer coughing fit interrupts him]

Hope everybody else is doin' better than me...

Heh... you'd think right, then...

But you gotta admit, you do kinda have a saving-people-thing goin' on...

[heartdive]

Yeah, well... Someone's gotta be around to do it, right?

[nobody_number_8]

Yeah... Doesn't mean that 'someone's' always gotta be you, though...

[OK, now he's just teasing you.]

[heartdive]

Maybe if you'd get off your butt and get to the clinic, you'd be well enough to be the one that's saving people.

But, oh right. You kinda wanna stay there and burn a whole through your bed.

[ sticking out tongue. guess who else can tease. ]

[nobody_number_8]

You'd be surprised how appealing that idea is, right now...

[Because ugh, moving...]

But yeah, yeah... you want me to come down there and burn a hole through one of your beds...

[heartdive]

Technically not my beds. They're Knock Out's.

[nobody_number_8]

Same difference. Either way, somebody needs a new bed...

[Axel coughs a bit. Bit too much talking, it seems. He sighs when the brief coughing fit is done.]

Anyway... see ya there, I guess, once I figure out how I'm gonna get there...

[heartdive]

Stop talking, okay?

[ fret fret! ]

Keep a glass of water next to you or something, geez.

[nobody_number_8]

Got that covered...

[He shows Sora the water Ven left, the bottle partly empty, and takes a sip before twisting the cap back on and setting it aside again. See? He's taking care of himself, Sora.]

Ven was here a bit ago... brought some water and extra blankets... think I dozed off after that...

Anyway, shutting up now... N' don't worry so much... I'll be fine.

[In a few days anyway.]
