SICK DAY MEME
There's not denying it, you're feeling crap. School, work, a date, tea with nana, mowing the lawns, doing your laundry, that important meeting... you can't make it. You want to stay in bed and maybe you just need a little TLC in the process. What is YOUR reason for that ever-fateful call in sick that every boss just loves to hate?
RULES:
- Leave a comment with your character's name, fandom, and any preferences you have.
- When replying, RNG for a number between 1 and 16.
- The number corresponds to the scenario that you will play out in any way you feel the urge.
- The poster is the sick person, the tagger is the one taking care of them/keeping them company.
- Go from there!
THE LIST:
1// COLD
It's just a boring old sinus infection and you probably could go in, but you're not because bed is just too nice.
2// FLU
You feel like you're dying and everything aches, but it's not quite serious enough to arrange your own funeral yet.
3// MAN FLU
Doesn't anyone understand how sick and miserable you are?! You can't function! The world is ending! You need cuddles, and hugs, and you can't do ANYTHING by yourself!
4// STOMACH BUG
Uh oh, this is going to get messy...
5// FOOD POISONING
But that meal was sooooooo good. The best you ever had! Why is it betraying you so badly?! Never eating ever again.
6// CONCUSSION
You've been hit in the head and now it feels like it's going to explode. Being horizontal is the best option, and not even in a good way.
7// MONO
Everything hurts, you feel sick, you don't want to move, you don't want to eat, but you're in it for the long haul. Company and maybe some cuddles with chicken soup might be nice.
8// CHICKEN POX OR MEASLES
SPOTS! Spots everywhere! Yes, even there! You look hideous and it itches so damn much. Don't scratch, don't scratch... oh screw it!
9// LARYNGITIS
Your throat hurts so bad and now you can't talk. How are you going to communicate, maybe you need a little bell? Is it bad form to text message someone sitting right in front of you? Who cares, you want chicken soup.
10// HANGOVER
It's still sick, right?
11// BACK PAIN
You don't know what you have done, but you woke up barely able to move. You probably shouldn't have done what you did last night... and you should probably rest it.
12// INCAPACITATING INJURY
You got hurt, you can move much, and you're stuck in bed. Is it a broken bone? Torn groin muscle? Cracked ribs? Whatever it is, the world clearly hates you.
13// POST ROUTINE SURGERY
It was a simple procedure and now you're back home. The only catch is, you can't be alone for 48 hours in case of complications, with the added bonus of it hurts like a bitch.
14// POST MAJOR SURGERY
You're stuck in hospital for a few days and have a gaping surgial wound. There aren't even any hot nurses. Now what?
15// LONG TERM ILLNESS
You've just been diagnosed with a longer-term illness (of your choice). You're feeling poorly and don't want to be alone.
16// ANYTHING GOES
Something not listed here, have a wildcard of your choice! Anything that might lead to a timely sick day.

I could alternately just cough on them when they show up. I'm sure those pristine First Order ships wouldn't know what hit them if a flu strain swept through the entire army.
no subject
[He smiles against the top of her head.]
I don't see anyone getting sick right away from a cough, though. So, maybe not the most effective weapon.
[He runs his hands down her back, making sure the blanket is keeping her warm but also enjoying the closeness. It was surreal to imagine them being like this - in bed, snuggled close, talking about the First Order that he had served for years faithfully. Meeting her had changed all of that, made the life he was currently living a reality.]
no subject
[ If she didn't have an ache in her body that was bone-deep she might try to make a show of getting up to do that, but as it is she just curls against him a little, seeking the warmth he offered. ]
Though you haven't gotten sick yet so maybe I'm just not contagious.
no subject
Maybe you aren't contagious, but I'm definitely not letting you ship yourself to the First Order just to find out.
[Bringing his lips to her forehead, he can feel how warm she still is. His hand moves to the side of her face, brown eyes looking into hers.]
Are you sure you don't need anything?
[Though just talking and snuggling together was nice.]
no subject
This is enough. I'm sorry I made you chase me down and carry me back here.
no subject
[He presses a kiss to her lips this time, not caring if he might catch her fever. He took fairly good care of himself when he tried.]
You should rest. I can stay here if you want.
[He settles in bed with her again, propping his head up to watch her.]
no subject
I think you'll have to. If you leave, I'm just going to get up again.
no subject
After I went to all the trouble to save you from work?
[He smiles, taking her hands in his.]
You should be thankful for the excuse not to have to stare at a datapad for a few hours. I know you like tinkering but everyone needs a break now and again.
no subject
Maybe you have a point. But I don't like feeling like all I can do is lie around uselessly. That's how people starve to death, on Jakku. No one takes care of you if you're sick.
