04 | voice/written/action | Kidnap shifts are a bitch, and I hate 'em.

[June 9th (Nighttime)]

[Doyle returns from the mission and hopes distantly that the shift placed on him would be gone. It is not, and he's got an insignificant wound that probably needs a few stitches and something to disinfectant. He basically makes a beeline for his place, locks himself up (and may run into people along the way, despite his attempts to be sneaky). He'll just have to wait for it to wear off.

Yeah.]


[Voice]

Can anyone do me a favor? Probably a doctor at the clinic--I need, uh. A kit for stitching up minor injuries, things like that? Something to disinfect a wound? I'm not really in a position to go down to the clinic... If we can arrange somewhere to pick it up, I'd really owe ya.

[If you're in Community Housing 7, you might feel a phantom heat passing through the Floor 3 hallway. Also if you're Doyle's neighbors or you're above or below his room, sorry about the weird heat that seems to bounce around your place. :|]

[June 10th]

[It's getting worse. He's feeling a lot more restricted, a lot more like he's drowning in peak summer heat. Started sweating more; he takes nightly walks like he does sometimes, though more-so to escape how his room smothers him. Eventually, though, he starts to realize that he can't go to the grocery store, or the restaurant, or the item shop. Or the middle of the plaza. Frankly, he realizes he's just shoving heat in people's faces wherever he's at.

There's some joke to be made about making people want to take their clothes off, but he's too tired to amuse it. He temporarily stays in an empty house further back from any people, just until this wears off. Needs food, though. Going to the grocery shop isn't going to work out. At all.

A while later, an anonymous person pens in
this handwriting:]

[Written / Anonymous]

I'm stuck in a predicament, and I kinda' need food. If anyone can drop some off at the house I'm staying in, I'd really appreciate it--and I'd owe you one. Just on the doorstep, and I can do the rest.

[If people do decide to help out, he'd appreciate it. He even pens the house number. Just don't be alarmed if you help, or even if you just walk by, that something unceremoniously warm is seeping through the walls of the house. He's got the air on, the fans on, and he's still not feeling too relaxed.

He also goes out and sits at the lake. By the time he's there for an hour, two, he sits in the water and feels some semblance of relief for once.]


[June 11th]

[Fucking hell. Fuck.

He's given up on shirts. He's drinking a lot of water, too. Been sitting in the shower at the unspecified house until he prunes up. It offers a little relief. Not a whole lot. When it starts to rain he goes outside, goes back to the lake, sits in the water, in the rain; he hasn't gotten sick from it yet, so he's not about to stop.

When the rain clears up, he drags himself onto the shore and lays there. He feels too hot. He's going to burn up--they're going to burn him all up, aren't they, those assholes?

Too hot... Ugh... Too hot.

It's raining and overcast and he's laying here suffocating in heat.

What were the odds.]



((ooc: basically anyone within a 10-foot radius will feel like they're in a really hot desert that will progressively get worse the closer they go; the heat is stifling and hard to be around. Another 10 feet after that, there's a mild heat that'll probably be more recognizable on the rainy days. Touching him'll make you feel like you're being burned. Also to note, it only effects living things. So no actual hot objects. :|b

It'll go away before anything gets too intense for him, but he's a little freaked out and anxious and all that.))

[Rei's handwriting is quite calligraphic, and she responds without so much as a thought]

Of course I can bring you food. Where should I bring it? And whats wrong?

It's none. I'll be there soon.

[Viral closes the book at this point and heads into the village proper to gather the food. Within the hour he arrives at the location with a loaf of bread, two apples, and take out from one of the restaurants. He asked for something hearty, but didn't recognize the dish that was brought out. It was some sort of stew, but heavy with tomatoes and with a spicy scent that he was unfamiliar with.

Regardless, it would do.

He raps once, twice on the door, but remains out of curiosity. The strange heat he felt emanating from within was a welcome change from the extremely wet weather he faced regularly since coming to Luceti. Being from a desert, any rain is extremely wet conditions for him]

Summer heat a bit much for you?

[personal profile] herd_effect 2012-06-12 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose so. Unless you signed up for that.

[He slips into his white coat--not that he's expecting Doyle to bleed all over him; it's just what doctors always wear back in 1952--and picks up a first aid kit.]

See you in a minute.

[With that, journal and kit in hand, he heads off to Doyle's apartment. The warmth of the door does make him wonder--was the guy actually having chills, and had turned the heat up? He knocks, frowning.]

[That... doesn't sound promising.]

Is that really alright? Even if it's like that, there should be some way to be able to help you.

[On the 9th, she's too exhausted to hear Rick's request. Otherwise she'd have been at his side, heat or no, patching him up. Walking him through self suturing would be problematic and idiotic. Better that she's unable to do so.

On the 10th she slept through his request, and didn't notice it afterward.

On the 11th, however, she's hunting for him. His apartment, the clinics, anywhere she thinks he might linger. Remembers distantly some mention of the lakes. Wanders out that way, umbrella in hand as she makes the long walk down, picking one at random and well aware she's close when she feels that first waft of warm air.]


...It has gotten worse, hasn't it?

I will be right there, sir. I don't believe I caught your name before, though.


[Mars nods to herself, having shifted into her Senshi form. She doesn't trust the man enough to reveal her true identity, but she rushes out to help him, carrying a big basket of food that won't be spoiled in heat, and lots of water. She knocks and waits]

(OOC: Its an important distinction, not sure if you know, but Mars and Rei look nothing alike. Mars identity is protected by a magical illusion that prevents even her immediate family from recognizing her. Just a note in case Doyle ever meets Rei around town.)

...You look like shit.

[She would step closer if he'd let her. Offer a hand. But he won't, so she can't. As it is she stands with the air of a woman that desperately wishes there was something in her power to make this better for him...

She has a thought. It might make it better- since this, so far, has done nothing.]


I think an ice bath might be prudent. If you can bring yourself to move.

I'll bring the materials, and stay as close as I can, just in case. How about that?

[Just then, Ami gives a quick breath.] Ah! I'm almost there.

[No kidding. A wall of heat that close to the door, and Nami isn't thinking that's weird, she's thinking holy shit, his house is on fire.

Because that's the only thing she can think of that matches that wall of searing hot, and that means she's kind of dropping the basket and kicking the door open with one hand flung up in assumption there's going to be a bunch of roaring flames in there, rawr Nami to the rescue or something--]

[--only to find this anticlimactic huddled mess on the other side. Uh.

No flames anywhere. But he's clearly not well, so Nami takes a step in toward him only to stop as the heat ratchets up again, and then she backs away just a little. Either it's him or his house has some serious heating issues. She's almost certain it's the former.]


Hey! Can you hear me?

Ice bath. Used to lower core temperatures when they become dangerously high- while I cannot say what your core temperature is at the moment, I think it might be in your best interest. Especially if the lake and rain are not helping in the slightest.

[A beat, a dry, audible smirk.]

Since it would be the only way of getting him hard, perhaps.

[Okay, Viral's opening the front door now--and the sudden blast of heat gives him only a moments pause. He recognized the man from the roster of volunteers from the mission and hurries over to assist if he can.

By the Gods, this man was far too hot for a human to be and still be alive!]

Have you tried IcyHot? That stuff's good. Real good.
