it's.... back? o.O

[lavandarlizard2]

Someone has been tapdancing on my tail.... >.< I will have to fire up the bar-b-q.

More Lockjaw. ^____^




The door opened a few minutes later, admitting the orderly with Duo's “lunch”. Duo looked over hopefully, but settled back with a sigh when it wasn't Heero. He managed a tight smile for the orderly, a youngish black man with gold hoops in one ear, a diamond stud in the other, a nametag reading "Jamison" and a friendly grin.

"Dr Po said you're to drink it all; she wants to get you out of here tomorrow."

"And this is the requirement? I think I can manage that," he quipped, stirring the concoction. It looked faintly pink, probably strawberry. "I asked for pureed cheeseburger..."

"The dietician just laughed, I'm afraid. Sorry."

"No respect for a fallen hero," snorted Wufei.

The orderly lost his smile. "Mr Maxwell, if you really want a pureed cheeseburger, I'll buy one and run it through the blender myself. I appreciate what you guys did, getting that monster off the streets again."

"He shouldn't have been out there in the first place," Duo sighed. "Apparently, maximum security ain't what it used to be."

"No kidding. Um... I'm glad you got him anyway. Gram Gillette was my partner," he said softly, busying himself with wiping down the table and checking the trash bin.

Duo and Wufei looked at each other.

"I'm sorry," said Duo. "I wish there was a way to find these guys before they go nuts."

Jamison nodded. "Floor 8 says they're working on it, but from what I've read, people have been working on that one for a few centuries. The psychos are still here." Duo finished the shake and he took the empty cup. "Again, thanks, Mr Maxwell; Mr Chang. You guys do a great job." He grinned again and vanished silently.

Wufei sighed. "Not good enough. Gillette was number four."

"But at least there won't be any more from this one."

"True. And maybe the next one won't be as clever."

"Yeah...." Duo relaxed against the pillows with a sigh.

Can I whine that's short? Pleeeeeease? *big wide chibi eyes*

On the other hand twas wonderful update, short or otherwise. Heero as lunch *grin* Most definitely.

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

*sigh* Yeah. I didn't realise how short it was until after it posted. Unfortunately, it didn't really go with either the before or the after parts. Next week should be longer. ^____^

[mariahelf.livejournal.com]

I'm really liking this one. I'm working on the next part of my Duosuffertist fic (Really, I am! Honest!!!!) but it just doesn't want to flow. I know where I want it to go and what I want to happen but it seems stilted and stiff. Ah well... Hopefully when the dam breaks I'll, hopefully, have a nice long part to post.

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

I know the feeling. >_> *sigh* Seems like the more anxious I get, the less I can write. And then, suddenly, the words just pour out. O.O Usually when I'm not able to do anything. =p

[pellsfan.livejournal.com]

Oh my....endings like that in TV programs would usually lead to just that...a more clever and more evil villain! *Peaks out from between fingers*

Wonderful. I'm eager for the next part.

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

Heh. ^___^ Good thing this isn't TV, then. None of that 'super saiyan level 666' junk here.... *snork!*

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

You know, frankly the idea of a pureed cheeseburger is kinda gross. O.o This part was a nice little angsty bit. I wibbled. >_>

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

It was either that or trying to suck spaghetti through a straw. ^.o And I have it on good authority that sucking spaghetti through a straw doesn't work. ^___^

Sorry about the wibble-inducement; I forgot it was there. O.o

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

It might be me too... I seem to be mildly on the wibbleful side this weekend. >_>

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

*pets the bird* You want another hamster? Or maybe some soda and popcorn? O.o Aspirin?

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

I have this over-whelming want of a cookie. O.o Molasses. I have no idea why. Maybe I should just go to bed and stop inflicing my whine on the internet. o.O

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

Ah, Sap! I wish I knew where Mom's cookbook is; it's got a fabulous recipe for molasses cookies. Even *I* like them. Yeah, I think it's time to hit the storage again. I have a Mission now. ^____^

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

I have antibiotics now... but sort of just for the 'why the hell not' aspect. O.o Doc is as baffled as I am. He took blood. *points at hole in arm* ;_;
It would be most unbecoming for my raptory self to... you know... throw a temper fit, wouldn't it? >_>

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

Aw, I hate when they have to do the 'for the hell of it' antibiotics. >.< Usually it either fixes the problem or the problem goes away anyway, and they never really know what it was.

Hm... I don't know about 'unbecoming'.... Birds *do* have temper tantrums. O.o Maybe you could just go out and kill something? Got gophurs or squirrels? I have some extra hamsters.... O.O

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

It's more like a very unbecoming sitting on the floor and blubbering incoherently.
Fuck... I... I think I'm pouting! O.O
Jeezus!
Smack me, quick! @__@

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

*Pouting?!* With no camera to record it?! O.O Ah, man... I'm missing it...! *crawls under bed to pout with chocolate*

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

Ok... this is no longer amusing; I just got out of the effing shower and I now seem to have some kind of damn rash. O.o

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

O.O Um.... Chicken pox? Measles? You had those as a kid, right? Or were immunized against them?

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

*nod nod* O.O The antibiotics, maybe? I only took the first pill so far, but I should be taking the other one before going to bed, but I'm kind of afraid to now. Though it was hours after I took it that the rash showed up...

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

Hm... Possibly... have you had this type before? maybe take the next one and then call the doctor in the morning before taking a third? O.O;

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

I... don't really know. I suck at paying attention to the names of things, though the pills seem bigger than any I can remember taking before. Just read the paperwork though, and it clearly states to check with the doctor before taking additional doses if there is a skin rash. =_= Ciprofloxacin? Hell... they all seem to end in some sort of 'acin' so they all sound familiar. I'm getting a little disgruntled here...

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

That's a new one on me... O.o But if the lit says 'stop' if you get a rash, then 'stop' it is. My doctor always starts me with amoxicillan and then has to go to amphicillan (sp?) when that doesn't work. And it never works. =p

Call them up first thing tomorrow and be really annoying. ^___^

Oh, does it itch, or is it just sitting there looking rashy? O.o

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

Mostly just sitting there. Though there is a patch on my arm that is itchy. Don't know if that's like... the start of something I'm not going to be happy about before the night is over, or just an isolated spot.
Uhm... I'm starting to feel guilty whining all over your LJ. >_> Feel free to pat my head and send me on my way...

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

If you start expecting it to itch, it probably will, just to prove you right... Got any cortisone cream; sometimes that helps.

Nah; no guilt. ^___^ Not like the place is busy or anything. ^.o

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

Hey... maybe if I flail around enough, I'll draw a crowd of people wanting to watch the stupid bird molt. You can charge admission. *crosses eyes* Did I mention my tongue hurts? My tongue hurts...
*whiiiiiiiiine*

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

Hmm... I'll even throw in popcorn.

Um... Your tongue hurts...? Bizarre. Keep an eye on that; if it starts to swell, don't wait - call 911. O.O

(it's the first day of octoberween; i have to scare you)

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

S'ok... the tongue sore thing was actually there before I took the pill, so I'm not too worried. Well... not about THAT. O.o

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

Okay; that's a relief anyway. ^___^ Go to bed; get some sleep. maybe it'll be all better in the morning. ^.o

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

I'm... uh... being ridiculously nervous about going to sleep. Kinda stupid, and I feel ficcishly angsty about it, but... here I sit. >_> So I'm working on a stupid dialogue fic...
About being sick...
>_>

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

Hmm... Do I go all mommy-ish or do I let the inner fangirl loose...? Decisions, decisions.... ^___^

Okay, fangirl has just lured mommy into a cage with a quart of coffee ice cream and a hunk of chocolate. ^___^

Write on!

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

Oooooh... a caged mommy? It's kind of tempting to poke it and maybe throw popcorn at it... O.O

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

It's only there until the chocolate is gone; it carries lock picks. ^___^

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

Backs away slowly... O.O

[merula31]

Poor Jamison. Though I think strawberries beat pureed cheeseburger. :P!

*camps out*

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

I sure if Duo really stopped to think about it, he would rather have the strawberry, but you know how it is when you're feeling sorry for yourself. ^.o Hm... I think I'll go grab the peanut butter M&Ms....

Sometimes I wonder about the people left behind by murders and serial killings; does anyone ever really think about the families and friends? About how bad it is for them? O.O Maybe I've been watching too many Cold Case Files or American Justice episodes....

[merula31]

I don't know if they do. I've seen articles written on them- 5 years later etc, but most of the time I'd bet not.
