Chapter Text
It have been few... Well, all of the survivors lost count how long they all have been here.
The never ending red sky and not knowing whether it's day or night. They take turns in sleeping.
One of this day, Two Time overslept again. Noob and Veeronica woke up a while ago and let Two Time have the blanket.
This shouldn't be a problem at all.... Though the problem is, it's Dusekkar and Taph turn to rest. Guest doesn't plan to rest just yet.
Dusekkar use his wand to poke Two Time to see if they're awake or not. They're not. He's already tired by just looking at their face, thinking so many ways to just shove them off the bed but no- that's not him.
Taph on the other hand quietly take pillow and settle next to Two Time. Dusekkar giving Taph this look like she did something wrong. Taph being, decided to just shrugged it off and try to wake Two Time up.
Her hand brushed against their shoulder. Even with gloves, she could feel they're burning up.
Taph immediately turn to Dusekkar with panicked gesture. “🙀👉🤒”
“they're having an illness?” Dusekkar face remains natural considering his fake head is pumpkin— ahem anyway Taph scooted over for Dusekkar to check on Two Time temperature. “I supposed you're quite right, Taph.”
Dusekkar huffed, thinking maybe because of the room temperature being too cold which reason why many want to sleep here, it cool them down-
He put down his staff as he scooped Two Time from the bed. For some reason they felt heavy but only because he did notice Two Time have been snacking a lot by stealing Shedletsky's chickens and Noob's burger.
Of course Dusekkar is no snitch, he rather not get involved with the mysterious snack thief.
“I shall bring them to the main cabin, perhaps all they need is fresh air.” he claimed as he already makes his way out from the room while Taph already too happy to take the whole bed.
After few steps of walking, Two Time stirred up from their sleep. Feeling groggy and a bit....
They glanced up, mind a bit hazzy. “Azure... ...” They mumble, seems like still half conscious. “Put me down... I need to puke.”
Dusekkar raised an eyebrow at the new mentioned name. He didn't say anything, not his business. He let Two Time back on the ground, letting go but stick nearby until they're balanced.
They did not and just immediately knelt at near by bushes as they throw up the denied food.
“Are you done?”
Two Time look up as they wipe their mouth, didn't see Azure but Dusekkar. “Divine pumpkin...?” Reality washed over, finally they figure they're not dreaming anymore. “Ugh...”
Now if Dusekkar isn't wearing that pumpkin head, everyone would see that he's raising an eyebrow because Two Time never groan before, annoyed or hurt. Never- So it's safe for him to assumed that they're really sick.
Two Time got back on their feet again as Dusekkar guided them back to the main cabin.
Inside the main cabin, Noob happily snack on their burger since it didn't disappear so suddenly because Two Time overslept. They glanced at the entrance direction, seeing Dusekkar and Two Time together is such a surprise to the point the sweet burger from their hand dropped.
“Ah—! W-We got c-code blue, code blue!!!” Noob yelp as they ran upstairs, well that's helpful......?
Elliot and Chance that's in the back, playing poker went to the lobby because of the small commotion Noob caused.
Chance, of course grin when he see what's going on. “Oh! Code blue! Dusekkar and Two Time stand to each other longer than five seconds.”
Elliot could only let out a small smile before being concern after noticing Two Time's exhausted expression. “Time? Are you still tired?” He walks towards, followed by Chance behind.
Dusekkar's hand hovering behind their back because it looks like they're about to fall. “Taph and I found them like this, I think the room temperature effected much more when someone overslept.”
“Ah...” Elliot paused before placing a hand on the fragile cultist forehead. “Oh, that's a one high fever.” He quickly pulled his hand away. “I'll go see if I can prepare a chicken soup since we can't feed them pizza soup....”
“Alr! We take charge from here, Dusekkar. You can rest with Taph and hope she doesn't make a nest out of the blankets yet.” Chance help Two Time to walk towards the couch while Elliot went to the makeshift kitchen since some certain entity is being an asshole for not providing basic necessities.
Dusekkar stood by the entrance for few seconds then finally turn around. He denied his just hesitation as soon as he left. Walking back to the other cabin, he glanced at the campfire way Builderman, Shedletsky, Guest and... 007n7 is sitting... Is he roasting fishes?
Dusekkar didn't see 007n7 earlier, he probably just start roasting.
Never mind what the ex exploiter do. Not his business, time to rest.
Noob got down from the upstairs, looking relieved that code blue is over. “Are they okay?” Noob asked Chance that just settling Two Time down on the couch.
“I still can respond, Nooby...” Two Time sighed. “Now shut.up. I want peace and quiet.”
Noob gasped then look at Chance who's also have this bewildered expression. Sure Two Time have been moody lately but today felt worse-
Chance smoothly stand up and nonchalantly take Noob with him as they both stand far away from Two Time.
“I think they're terminally ill....” Chance whispered to Noob. “Friend to friend- what do you think??”
Noob shrugged, a bit nervous because Two Time is acting out of character. Asking Dusekkar for help is not good, Builderman only good at building, maybe 007n7 at least can coded some medicine here but they don't know Two Time condition....
Now who's among the survivor have medical knowledge?
Hopefully Veeronica or Guest can help.
Elliot came back with the soup he actually managed to make out of Shedletsky's leftover chicken. He carefully handed it to Two Time, raising an eyebrow when he noticed Chance and Noob are standing farther than usual.
“Uhm...?” He look at Two Time who already slurping the soup then almost choked on it. “Woah! Slow down, Time. Nobody going to take that from you—”
The bowl fell as Two Time clutched on their stomach, shoving Elliot out of the way before running out to throw up.
Elliot followed from behind despite being shoved aside, went over beside Two Time as he patted their back.
He did noticed Two Time threw up a lot lately, perhaps the upset stomach from eating the same food...?
“Ouch... I... I'm hungry.” Two Time muttered.
“I'll get you pizza—”
“No, I've realized I grew tired of the cuisine.”
Elliot gasped but Noob gasped louder from the cabin as they eavesdropped. “s-sorry! C-Continue the conversation...”
Two Time look so annoyed it's scary- Elliot stepped back to give them some space.
He can deal with insane Two Time, he can deal with hyperactive Two Time and he can deal with Two Time is about to have a mental breakdown— annoyed Two Time? Sorry to break it to the reader but Elliot needed few session with this new behavior from Two Time to get used.
They stumbled as they stepped from the entrance stair, then head turn at the smell of nice food...
007n7 is peacefully eating the mackerel he caught with guest. . . . He doesn't understand why Builderman decided to join him. Shedletsky is understandable since he wants some of the catch.
It was alright until his precious fish got snatched none other by Two Time who's clearly not in a good mood. 007n7 silently mourned for the delicious mackerel as Two Time make themself comfortable besides him.
Shedletsky smirk at the sight until Two Time also take the fish from him. Serve him right- “Hey, that's mine!”
“Leave it, Shed. The kid is hungry.” Builderman huffed as he passed a drink from the Thermos. “Beside, it's rare for them to join any of us anyway.”
“That's not fair, 007n7 barely join us and he never steal my food.” Shedletsky scoffed while 007n7 awkwardly shifted his gaze from Builderman. “Hey kid! What's up with you today? You usually come crawling and begged to give you some piece.” He huffed so dramatically that even the narrator want to rolled its eyes.
Good thing that Shedletsky received a head smack from Elliot who just arrived at the scene and 007n7 conveniently disappeared before Elliot can see a glimpse of him-
That was the quietest escape ever.
Ahem anyway, Elliot gave Shedletsky another smack on the head. “Don't talk to them like that, Time is sick.”
“Yeah, a sick fuck—” Shedletsky rage bait successfully failed when Builderman threw the Thermos at his head, a perfect bullseye.
By the time Shedletsky recover, Two Time finished eating. Shedletsky grumbled under his breath something about double standard.
No it's not double standard, it's just he's a fat fuck. Of course everyone else is okay with Two Time eating more than just a piece of pepperoni.
“We should really run a checkup on you, Time.” Elliot give a reassuring smile, “Guest can help, he said he took medical field before becoming a soldier.”
Two Time reluctantly agreed, at least they didn't feel nauseous after eating what they want.
“Where is the mighty soldier...?”
“cutting logs.” Builderman replied, a bit with a small smile. “The man is restless and want everything to be refill before resting properly.”
Elliot slightly chuckles at Builderman's comment. “He's truly a big help to us, he's for sure will help Time.”
Shedletsky forgotten like a piece of ai art sulked and he's not being subtle about it.
Two Time control themself from rolling their eyes hard at Shedletsky. They did noticed themself that they're not acting like their usual self... And because of it, they barely get time to have their early prayer because of sickness everytime they woke up.
They wanted to be fixed ASAP.... But for now, maybe they'll sit for the food to digest....
