[Admittedly he was a little skeptical of this artificial recuperacoon, but after a few days the idea that he could get some sleep really tempts him. Like, really. It gets worse every day until he finally can't take it anymore and risks it. Unfortunately, Equius is a huge fuckup it goes as badly as he thought it might and does nothing but amplify the horrific nightmares that he usually gets when he tries sleeping, to the point that he starts panicking and thrashing about in his sleep. In the midst of all of this he accidentally ingests some of the sopor within the recuperacoon, though for now the freaking out midsleep thing is his main problem.]

[But later, a little while after that's all sorted out, he shows up on video. His hair isn't done so it's messy as hell and even obscuring his eyes because of the length, he has no cape, no rings, no scarf...literally the ampora version of "just dragged himself out of bed". Despite showing up on video however, he doesn't actually say anything. In fact it's like he doesn't even notice, because he's typing up text. With each keystroke, you can hear a little tap.]

What the fuck is there not to love about wizards.

I mean do you ewen realize not eweryone can be a wizard. And not ewen eweryone who can is any good at it.

So that makes the best wizards like...fucking. Amazing.

Seriously, fuck cloak and dagger. Cloak and beards are where it's at.

[biwinning]

[caligulas_aquarium]

Science is ok. But I mean who the fuck needs science, we hawe magic. It's like sayin' why do I need the crosshairs, I hawe the wand.

And it's totally magic Sol. I am magic.

[caligulas_aquarium]

...

I don't really want to.

I feel sick. I don't want to be sick forewer.

[biwinning]

I kind of felt thhhhhick too, but then I threw up a few timesth and I feel better.

[caligulas_aquarium]

Yeah, I think-

I think I'm gonna do that.

[BRB Sollux he's just gonna nudge you outta the way as he walks past and leaves the room.

Wait for it.

Wait for it.

...

Waiiiiiit for i-yep that's the sound of him throwing up in the bathroom.]

[biwinning]

[Sollux turns off the video camera, frowning, and heads to the bathroom too. It's kind of hard to hate Eridan when he's like this. Sollux follows after Eridan to the bathroom, tentatively.]

...Hey. You okay?

[caligulas_aquarium]

[He's kneeling over the toilet with both hands against the wall behind it, breathing a little heavy and he looks a little exhausted, but they're just general post-vomiting symptoms. Nothing too bad.]

Yeah, I just - just need a minute. Still feeling like shit.

[biwinning]

[The yellowblood pockets the camera, and goes back to the kitchen to get a cup, and then gets a cup of water from the bathroom sink. He hands it to Eridan.]

Here. It'll get the tathte out.

[caligulas_aquarium]

[He looks up at Sollux for a minute with this sort of bewildered expression, but takes the cup off of him and stands up.]

Thanks.

[Takin' a sip, yep, not awkward at all...

Tbh if it is in any way awkward he doesn't actually notice.]

Did you try sleeping in the recuperacoon too.

[biwinning]

Yeah. I think that'th what made me thick. I thought he jutht poithoned me, but I gueth he did it to both of uth. I'll break a chair over Equiuth head for it later.

[caligulas_aquarium]

Oh.

I thought ingestin' it made me sick or somethin'...maybe it was just that.

I ain't sure considerin' I don't think I ewer had actual sopor to know if it does or not.

[biwinning]

No... it doeth make you thick. And act thtupid. I've had it before. Wath not a good idea.
