[retrogrades]

[When Chihiro comes into view she's looking pretty sick--tired, feverish, and just overall pathetic. She's coughing as she turns on the communicator, and it won't stop there.]

I hate to ask this [cough] b-but does anyone have an alarm clock? Or know where to get one? It's [cough] really impor-- [cough] important that I get one. Thank y--

[As she tries to say thank you and end the transmission, a fit of coughs takes over. It lasts for a minute or so, and as she looks back in her hands at the end, her eyes widen in fear.]

Is this... b-blood?

[Chopper has very good hearing, so don't think he missed that last part.]

You don't need an alarm clock, you need a doctor!

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

Y-You're pr-- probably right, but it really is important that I get one.

[bokuwadoctaaa.livejournal.com]

You can't say 'probably', because I'm a doctor--!

[bokuwadoctaaa.livejournal.com]

But, I don't know what an alarm clock is. If you told me what it looks like, maybe I could try and find one?

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

They come in a lot of diff-- differ different shapes and sizes. It's basically a clock though.

[bokuwadoctaaa.livejournal.com]

Oh. ...clock. Alarm, clock... [He totally doesn't get it.] I guess I can try looking.

B-But still--! I think you need to see a doctor! I can go see you if you want!

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

You're a doctor?

[bokuwadoctaaa.livejournal.com]

I am!



...o-oh, yeah, I am!

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's great! You really wouldn't mi-- mind seeing me?

[bokuwadoctaaa.livejournal.com]

A doctor shouldn't ever mind seeing someone who needs their help, no matter what the problem is.

Besides, you helped me before when I got hurt! It wouldn't be fair to not help you when you need someone.

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

... Ah, that's right. You're... Chopper-kun, right?

[bokuwadoctaaa.livejournal.com]

[That works for me! He nods a bit.]

Uh-huh. I'd have to go to the hospital quickly to get whatever you'd need but, it wouldn't take long.

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

Okay, that sounds good. But, um, do you know where I am...?

[bokuwadoctaaa.livejournal.com]

...I don't know where you live.

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

I'm in the Marshall Apartments, room 207.

[bokuwadoctaaa.livejournal.com]

Ah, thanks! I'll try to be there soon then! Please take it easy in the meantime!

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'll try to rest for a bit.
