un: jonas. cw: blood chatter.

[coherer]

ik this is going to sound like an episode of 60 Minutes that never got aired, but I have smelled worryingly like blood for the past week or so.

Please pre-emptively cool it on the wild guesses, though. God forbid any of this winds up vaguely sexual like Keith's thing (F, buddy). No, I haven't even been injured lately. No, it's not my time of the month. No, I'm not actually a murderer. I woke up one day, sniffed foul air, and have been increasingly ill since.

Does anyone have any idea what I can even do about this? bc I feel like I've tried literally everything but bathing in bleach.

Oh, actually, for ppl who don't want to interact with my TMI, what are your favourite movies? I work at the theatre in Mirth now and I'll get a 2% raise if I bring in more traffic, so I kinda have a vested interest in knowing what kinds of things you'd wanna see screened. Set can't pay for everything yk lol.

Thanks.

ik..........

(bro😔)

do you... need anything delivered. food or something.

i'm gonna assume you aren't going out in public much smelling like a blood bag.

（ teenage boys, so excellent at sensitivity. ）

[coherer]

(honestly, it's helping that it's being dealt with so bluntly. if someone said "oh, no, you poor thing," he'd probably want to die.)

Not very far out in public tbh, I feel like a goblin or smth. If you dropped food or like a bunch of NeoCitran off at my door, I wouldn't complain. Doctor Haruno's skeptical about my diet, so I should probably stop eating microwave dinners.

(had to do it to you)

I could pay you back for sure, yk just as soon as I can actually go to work.

[zangetsu]

yeah idk who that is.

（ mysterious doctor, always immediately leaves the room after he enters it... truly terrible. ）

but sure.

you don't owe me anything though, it's fine.

[coherer]

I don't wanna make you walk around a ton to get me food/meds and not give you anything back.

So if you don't tell me what you want, I'll surprise you with smth weird out of nowhere.

[zangetsu]

do something nice for somebody else then once the dracula bullshit's worn off.

just leave me out of it.

[coherer]

Wow, what a wholesome suggestion.

How about this: I sit on this one till a later date when you feel sucky and need me to bring you food. We can just keep tagging each other back.

(i don't like strangers!!!!)

[zangetsu]

fine

（ 'fine', he says, intending to never, ever, ever in a thousand years call in that favour. ）

where's your place? i'll be by in like an hour.

[coherer]

Fine! Lol

It's a couple blocks up from the harbour. There are two mini ladders, like step ladders? And they lead you right up to my door. It's the one with the smiley face on the front.

(it's weird, but everything here is weird)

Odd question probably after all of this but do you know if there's anywhere here to buy candles and a humidifier?

[zangetsu]

my boss back home might literally find a way to kill me from beyond the grave if my answer to that was anything but 'yes'.

so

yes.

i'll leave it on your doorstep.

sorry but i really don't want to smell you right now.

[coherer]

GOOD LOL, I don't wanna smell you either soooooo....

You're the best😂 tysm

[zangetsu]

（ so, a few hours later, there's a care package left at jonas' door. some candles clearly chosen by a teenage boy who doesn't care about candles, a humidifier, some decent food that's all very japanese in nature and... a sudoku book.

in case he gets bored or something??? ）

[coherer]

God bless you

(ichigo is a saint.

jonas sets up the humidifier, burns several candles at once, stares at the sudoku like it's growing aggressive tentacles, and tries to eat. thanks to the overwhelming scent of some minty essential oils in the wax, he manages half before having to pack it away.

got a vitamin, time to NAP)
