So you hacked up a bunch of animals to prove your prowess at hunting and gathering? [ and stalking? ]

[oorah]

what? no
i already used the meat so i thought

[ she hates his gift? she hates his gift. fuck. ]

i don't know what i thought
i'll take it back if you don't want it

[underachievement]

I'll keep the whiskey. And the coffee.
I don't know what to do with all the dead shit.

[ she will also keep the knife. so now she knows that about herself. :| ]

[oorah]

it reminded me of you
not in a bad way

[ he's just digging his way to china at this point. ok start over frank, holy fuck. ]

you didn't strike me as a flowers type of girl
i didn't mean anything by it

[underachievement]

[ as usual, his answer just creates more questions. he's a conversational hydra of lerna. ]

Are you feeling okay?

[oorah]

is it that bad?

[ it doesn't even register that she might be asking about the vaccine. but it should, he's been feeling... weird for a day or so now. ]

[underachievement]

It's a horror movie in a handbasket but I'm talking about the drug.

[oorah]

oh [ he hadn't meant to send that. maybe he is acting weirder than usual. who could say? ] it feels kinda like i have the flu but other than that

[ he's... fine??? he thinks. ] do you think that means it's working

[underachievement]

I think that means consult your doctor [ or nurse or akira he likes to help ]

[oorah]

ok i will
but shouldn't i test it? make sure it works?

[underachievement]

Not alone.
Can't take your word. [ it could be his. ]

[oorah]

no shit that's why we're collaborating.
what do we do, come up with a safe word?

[underachievement]

[ someone's moody. ]

Or phrase. Something you'd never say.

[oorah]

like this is all your fault ? [ punched himself right in the gut with that one. guess who still feels guilty. ]

[underachievement]

[ yeah well she set that one up for him. he could've done a lot worse. ]

Sure

[ hnnnnngfuck ]

I know none of that was you.

[oorah]

well good
because i don't make horror baskets for just anyone

[ of course maybe this isn't really him either. could be just the fever. yeah, that's it. ]

i'm open to suggestions [ since he'd rather never say something like that to jess again. just remembering it makes him more queasy than he already is. ]

[underachievement]

[ better be that or the red mountain dew again now that he's free to start seeing other trainwrecks. ]

How about 'I was just minding my own business'

[oorah]

ouch

[ or like that would hurt if he weren't fully aware of his own busybodiedness. ]

once a shitmagnet always a shitmagnet

[underachievement]

Am I the shit or the magnet

[oorah]

he's the shit
we're both the magnet

[underachievement]

Should've gone with Claire. [ and Charlie, whoever that is. she's seen the posts: others have gone missing. like the rest of them left behind, Jess assumes wherever they've gone can't be worse than here. ]

[oorah]

yea

[ except that's his luck too. make out with a woman on her first day here and on her last she's injecting him with an experimental drug. #party ]

if you really want me to leave you alone when this is all done i will

[underachievement]

[ are they still suggesting code phrases? ]

Then come up with a new condition because it's never really done.

[oorah]

i'm not gonna leave this for you to deal with on your own
especially not if i'm immune
it's bullshit that kilgrave was ever your responsibility
nevermind round whatever this is plus extra innings here

[underachievement]

[ he loses her at the end there but maybe it's her inability nay unwillingness to follow sports metaphors ]

You've got first dibs.
If you're immune.
