SICK MEME

✫ They are now, for some odd reason, sick (headache, fever, runny nose, cough, whatever you want)
☀ Another character replies and is struck with the sudden urge to take care of them (bringing them soup, extra blankets, Sudafed, sexual healing, what have you)

It's a friendly thing. [Angie closes her eyes, just drinking it in at the moment. She's already feeling a bit better. Sure, the main symptoms are still there, but whatever Tron's doing is helping.]

Okay. [Careful nod.] Even stopping it where it is would be a help.

Isolating it now.

[Tron fires off some final bits of code, then withdraws his holographic hand from her face. He looks somewhat tired.]

...that's all I can do at the moment. Are there any User remedies you can try?

[re-engineer.livejournal.com]

[She opens her eyes and smiles slightly.] You look like you need a rest, Tron. No overdoing it, okay?

And no, not really. I suppose I could go to the Sensorium and try some chicken soup. Even if it is only slop that my brain is made to think is chicken soup.

[Tron nodded.]

I'll be back to full efficiency as soon as I can.

[...what?]

What are the anti-viral properties of chicken soup?

[re-engineer.livejournal.com]

Less anti-viral and more...placebo affect, most likely. [Angie coughed, grimacing. Ugh. Hate this.]

There's some research that indicates that there may be something in chicken soup that is slightly anti-inflammatory. Which basically means you don't feel quite as crappy after a bowl of it. But, like I said, mostly placebo.

[Why can't he just be solid enough to grab some of this chicken soup? This is completely frustrating.]

Then I'll find someone who can retrieve it for you.

[She manages a smile.] It'll just turn back into slop once it's out of the Sensoriums, Tron. Nothing in there can exist the same way outside of it.

[Like him, for example.

I'll be fine, though. Human bodies are made to fight off infections and viral incursions, after all. You've halted and isolated the corrupted code, so we'll just need to give my body a chance to fight it off itself.

I'll be miserable in the meantime, but that's how you know it's working.
