~ thirty-eighth fairy tale

[Lunar Festival? What Lunar Festival? What world boss rising out of the duck pond? Amy's laid up in bed, feeling ill and cranky and faintly miserable. Today is apparently a day she gets to suffer through the phantom effects of her real body's pregnancy back home. Either that, or she's got food poisoning]

Heeeeeey, castle. Do you have a good remedy for an upset stomach? Rory knows his stuff, but it's only Earth medicine, and I am really open to alternatives right now.

Well... they usually last a week, don't they? So you should be free soon. Who've you been stuck with?

[ofhope]

It's already been a week.

Hm, some people that don't really matter. Some were more fun than others.

[too_fairytale]

What's your idea of fun?

[ofhope]

Relaxing. Or...exploring. Playing games. Eating.

[too_fairytale]

And the people you got stuck with that weren't as fun...?

[ofhope]

Well, I'm not the most desirable company for many residents at the present moment. Except maybe to the ones who want me locked up.

lol shit I didn't realize you were Joshua :D

[too_fairytale]

And... why is that?

lmao wow i must be a ninja by accident

[ofhope]

Escapees have unsavory reputations.

I don't always recognize icons/usernames :(

[too_fairytale]

Depends on what you escaped from, yeah?

[ofhope]

Prison. I thought the phrase 'locked up' gave it away.

[too_fairytale]

You could have just been talking about your loss. Besides, not all prison escapees are bad.

[ofhope]

'Bad' is subjective, anyway. Except when it comes to manners; those are always important!

[too_fairytale]

So how do you know Rory, anyway? And how can you help out?

[back on topic, as her stomach roils a little]

[ofhope]

Oh, we've only really spoken over the journals; barely met. He doesn't like my opinions much.

Well if you're sick, theoretically I could heal it. Simple as that.

[too_fairytale]

[and it'd be his *pleasure* to help her? Er...]

It--might not be as simple as that.

[ofhope]

[ Of course, since Rory would probably hate him for it! ]

Oh? Well, I'm not a doctor.

[too_fairytale]

[you're such a masochist, Joshua]

I mean--it is just a stomachache... I think. But it might not be easy to cure it. Castle stuff.

[ofhope]

[ It's just fun getting people to make big reactions, okay? It doesn't hurt him any! ]

Why would the castle give you a stomach-ache? That sounds idiotic even for it.

[too_fairytale]

[okay, that's true, Amy can't begrudge that, she likes trolling Rory for the same reason]

The castle didn't give it to me.

[ofhope]

You just said it's castle related. Make up your mind, I'm too tired for word games.

[too_fairytale]

The castle might not let you cure it.

[ofhope]

And why is that?

[too_fairytale]

Because the stomachache's coming from... home.

[ofhope]

That's not possible. We don't have any connections to our worlds.

[too_fairytale]

[stubbornly]

There isn't another explanation for it.
