Canon Bump - Getting Worse

[lil_tanuki]

[It's an interior shot of the Yagami household as the briefest motion of green and yellow was seen, as Shamal exited her room, almost too indistinguishable to be recognized due to the angle of the camera. Hayate is burning up, her cough getting worse as she clutches her chest.]

Sick again... how long has it been since my last cold...

[This really wasn't a cold, as she fumbles for the remote and turns off the light, only for her hand to seize up and drop it to the floor.] O-oh...

[The date of the calendar read Dec 15, just ten days before Christmas. It was going to be a fairly miserable Christmas if Hayate was feeling this way as she tried to sit up. The world seemed to swim for her as she fell back on her bed.]

S-so weak...

[There was a shuffling from her room door as another form barrelled inside, and the video cut off from there. But it was apparent, Hayate was getting worse.]

Oh, no...

[lil_tanuki]

O-oh hi, don't worry bout me, it's just a little weakness... and a cold...

[aquaticrush]

But Yagami-san -- I mean, Hayate-chan, you're sick!

[lil_tanuki]

It's just a little cold, I-- [Hayate broke out into a fit of coughing, clutching her chest.] Owie...

[aquaticrush]

I'm so sorry. You're getting worse and-- I know it's impolite, I'm sorry, but you don't have to pretend.

Hmmm. It looks as though you have the typical nondescript wasting disease. Something neurological? Those symptoms seem like Tattoolist, but I doubt you're breaking out in a rash that looks like a tattoo.

I uh, I'm not entirely certain. Its undocumented right now, and we're trying a lot of things.

So a palliative treatment? Well, that can work sometimes. Maybe I can come up with a diagnosis.

You seem to be the object of a lot of sympathy from the community, and your disease is ill defined with a lot of symptoms that don't make you uncute. Maybe you have some sort of narrativly convenient disease, like the ones that happen in books.

[lil_tanuki]

Huh... this isn't a story however, I don't think it works like that. [Even if Hayate wanted to believe that, it was too much of a gamble to think that her world was following some kind of script.]

[shiningwaters]

Is there anything you need?

[lil_tanuki]

Ah, Aqua I... mmm, I guess I could use a visit if you really wanted to come by. I've been feeling pretty weak lately.

[shiningwaters]

I can bring along a potion. It won't be enough for the illness, but it might help your energy a bit.

[lil_tanuki]

That sounds like a good idea. Something to keep my energy going would be nice...

Hayate-chan! Hayate-chan!

Re: voice

[lil_tanuki]

Nanoha-chan... I'm here, really I'm fine its just a cold.

Re: voice

[pinkbefriendingbeam]

You look the complete opposite of fine!

Re: voice

[lil_tanuki]

Oogh... can't fool you huh. I didn't think I'd get worse in the interim...

[oceanicbutterfly]

Hayate-chan?

[lil_tanuki]

Karen-nee...

[The one person she was tempted to drop all walls around. She knew how bad she was, and how terrible of a time she was having...]

I'm really sick right now. I've got a fever and everything. Shamal's treating me, but I might have to go to the doctors...

[oceanicbutterfly]

Do you need me to come see you?

[Spoiler: no matter what Hayate says, the answer is yes.]

[lil_tanuki]

Yes please. I'm kind of scared, I've never been this bad before.

[Translation: come please, I'm frightened I might not last the night.]

[chestboard]

Oi.... hey are you alright?!

Do you need me to take care of you...? [he definitely will.]

[lil_tanuki]

Ah, I'm sick actually. I have a lot of people stopping in, so maybe you could do the same?

[chestboard]

Hey hey, will you really let me do the same as them, take care of you?

[lil_tanuki]

You're a nice guy after all. I'll let my family know you're coming if you want.
