[That's as good as a 'yes,' Angel. John sighs.]

Angel, I want to help him. I might... I dunno if I can request blood from the Admin, but I can try. The problem is, I'm not sure he actually needs it. He eats food like the rest of us now, and he's got a pulse. Eve might not be willing to hand it out. I'm not sure what her resources are like for a bloodbank. But I can try if that's the problem.

I don't want you or Rhys trying to act as donors. It's dangerous without the right equipment, and you might end up making him sick if there's anything different about your blood that would potentially affect other people it's being drunk by or transfused to.

Even if he doesn't physically need it, he clearly feels like he does. Enough to think he has to separate himself from us. So I'm assuming he'd refuse to take blood from us in the way he usually would, for fear of. Iunno. Going too far?

[ Wow someone sure is ignoring the whole DON'T ACT AS A DONOR thing ]

Talk to him about it. Don't ask th-- Eve about it without consulting him first, he'd hate that.

[jumpthegun]

I know, and I will. Thanks for letting me know about this. [It's something to focus on apart from his failures in this town.] He was also worried about you being sick and Rhys being in pain. I reckon that the MN Poisoning. Does Rhys still have Vicodin? And do you have anything? Even just cough syrup?

[phaseshifter]

Oh my freaking -- I am not sick. As for Rhys, he does have some vicodin left, but he's. Not overly keen on taking it too often. It sends him kind of, uh... loopy? It's not great.

[jumpthegun]

Cough that won't go away? Little fever? Some aches and pains? It doesn't have to lay you out completely for it to be real sickness, Angel, and those are the first signs, as far as I can tell, of some forms of MN Poisoning. Please don't shrug it off if that's what it is, okay?

I can maybe see about a different painkiller for Rhys. Something outside the narcotics spectrum. Might not be as potent, but it might help him keep his head a little easier.

[phaseshifter]

For the love of frick. Do I sound sick?

[ SHE DOESN'T. Right now. A little tired, maybe, but when doesn't she sound that way since the whole Brain Damage Incident? ]

And if anyone gets MN poisoning it isn't as though it's worth worrying about, since nothing can be done. I'm fine. Your - your suggestion about Rhys sounds good, though. He's been chomping our aspirin supply and that hasn't really helped much.

[jumpthegun]

[He doesn't know, Angel. He hasn't exactly examined you. But he'll let that slide for now.]

I'll talk to him and see what I can come up with, all right? And it's hard not to worry. Apart from all that, are you two doing okay? You're down near the town entrance, right?
