Um. New people listen up!

Given... recent events, I thought it would be good if I spoke up.

Jordan's not that crazy normally, honest. I'm not sure what that ~~bastard~~ bird thought he it was going to accomplish, or what he was thinking accepting gifts from it, but... he's not crazy, I swear. ~~Neither am I.~~

What's going on?

Is he feeling well? I have spoken with him before, and this is a radical departure from his previous behavior!

He accepted chocolate-covered espresso beans from that feathery stalker I've been trying to get rid of. (Honestly, I'd heard of ravens being smart, but there's a line that thing just crossed....) And things went really, really downhill from there. I think things are okay now, though....

...no. No, he's not, and it is.

Why would an espresso do something?

That's quite normal for a caffiene overdose.

So... shouldn't have talked you out of shooting at it, then?

He didn't go overboard with it, right?

If it were powerful enough, the stimulant effect could technically get him high? How the heck should I know? I'm a mechanic, not a biologist!

Seems that way.

...I think it might actually have ties to the thing that tried to kill me. Considering Jordan was babbling about how it was "the lord of purity," and that's what... the thing called itself....

...we got him under control, if that's what you're wondering about.

((According to Rick-mun, anyway.))

Yeah, but he's not the kind of guy who'd OD. Especially not on caffeine.

No, I mean... He didn't overdose on caffeine, right?

...

Okay, I didn't know any of this. I just like birds- but that's a stupid reason to trust something.

Your gut was telling you to blast the hell out of it? Sometimes it's good to listen to those instincts.

It's all right... you didn't know. Not many people do.

If it comes around again I will.

If his life is endangered, I would be happy to consult a medical specialist of my acquaintance! She is most knowledgeable in the field of poisons and other toxins!

Not fatally. He's going to hate himself for it when he wakes up, though.

No, he's alive and he's going to be okay... just going to have one heck of a headache when he wakes up.

He seemed like he was aiming for fatal. And he shouldn't.

He might have been, I don't know. Either way, he's not dead, thank God.

He'll get better, try to not worry to much.

It can happen accidentally, really. It's not all that uncommon around here.

Well... if you know any treatments for a caffeine hangover, now's the time to volunteer them?

I will. It's hard not to, though.

I am relieved to hear it! Offer him my sympathies!

If I may suggest, the most efficacious cure for a headache is often brisk exercise and fresh air! I have often found it useful myself, on occasion!

Good. That's why I said "try", Eva.

Thank you, I will!

Well, if I can drag him out of bed, I was planning on going on a bike ride anyway... thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks. I guess that makes sense, but... it hurts.

Rick already took care of him and the bird? I am currently half way to Earth. Do you want me to come still or should I turn around and wait back home for your party? Thank Dol Arrah that Canaan is piloting. I am much too tired to do it myself. I was awake all night catching up on paperwork and other matters. *yawn* I think I shall nap the rest of the way... to... Earth.... *zzzzzzzzzzzz*

I'm supporting the "just shoot it" strategy now.

And maybe an intervention for Jordan.

Yeah, but I'd still prefer it if you showed up here... I'll need the help once Jordan wakes up. Besides, you obviously need the vacation.

That makes two of us. XD

Well, we managed to get him to stop ~~thank god Rick had a tranquilizer gun~~, so I think it's probably not necessary at this point.

I'm so relieved to hear all that's finally over, but...are you guys okay? Is that bird still around? Do you need extra help - I could try to get a world-hop..?

Don't worry so much, Little Mouse. I'll stay at your place for a while to make sure nothing else goes wrong. And somebody's got to fix that whole in the wall before your Dad gets home from his trip.

As far as I can tell everyone's okay. I don't know where the bird is, right now... and it's all right, you don't have to do that.

Thanks, Rick. I really appreciate it, and... I'll help with the wall, if there's any way I can....

Well, I shall be on my way to your house. Canaan and I have settled in a quiet hotel not to far from you. I shall be over immediately, but I instructed Canaan to stay and rest, he appears tired too. I am quite relieved to be away from my desk. At least I finished the work before I left. And I do believe a vacation would do me good, just like that nap.

Thanks again... and hopefully this time the media won't find out where you're staying! Well, you're welcome to stay as long as you like.

I assume Jordan's the guy that needs to be forceably separated from caffiene?

Yes. He's not like that normally I swear!

I'll take your word on that.

Still, he might want to stick to water for a while.

Thanks. You could just go back through his journal or something if you really don't believe me, though....

Yeah... once he wakes up he'll probably be dehydrated enough to really need it. Caffeine withdrawal isn't pleasant.

...Espresso?

~~I can't even DRINK a cup of espresso and I go nuts!~~

Yeah, espresso. What he normally drinks with breakfast. Just don't ask, even I'm not sure....
