Audio. Back on the train again.

[hashtagparkerluck]

Uh... hey guys. Anyone else not feeling so good? I mean-I'm okay, I think I just.. feel kinda weird.

[ This is what happens when you don't eat or sleep enough, Parker. ]

Like uh... I don't know, I wouldn't really call it dizzy but something kinda similar? I don't know, maybe an actual nap will help.

Food. Water. Sleep. Find a medic in the morning.

Unless you're actually injured?

[hashtagparkerluck]

No? Not really? I mean, there are a few bruises that are taking longer than normal and my lip is still busted but nothing like... serious.

[callmegladio]

Then food, water, sleep and medic. In that order. Getting one to look at you while you're lying down is even better.

[hashtagparkerluck]

I don't need a medic-it's taking a little longer but I'm still healing. I just need sleep. That should fix the healing thing.

[callmegladio]

... Peter. Medics do more than heal wounds. They can check you over, make sure you're alright. Check-ups aren't a bad thing.

If it was serious enough to get on the ICP and tell people, it's serious enough to have a medic come look at you and check you over.

[hashtagparkerluck]

I just wanted to know if anyone else was feeling a little off. If I'm still feeling uh.. weird after I wake up then I'll talk to a medic.

[callmegladio]

Good. Mami's already told people off for being unwell and brushing it off.

You don't want to piss her off.

[hashtagparkerluck]

[ Wow, he feels so called out right now. ]

Y-yeah, of course. I know that.

[callmegladio]

[Then clearly he was doing something right!]

Just take care of yourself, kid. These missions are tough without you making it worse not looking after yourself.

So get checked out. It's probably just exhaustion and lack of decent food. But it never hurts to make sure.

[hashtagparkerluck]

Yeah, I'm sure. [ Peter nods over audio. ]

It' probably just because of my crazy metabolism or something and that plus rations is uh... not a great combo, you know?

[callmegladio]

No, not a great combo. Just take care of yourself, kiddo. Try and get some rest.

[hashtagparkerluck]

Yeah, I'll try.

[ Peter nods. ]

voice;

[adropofsunlight]

I feel...okay not good. But that is mostly because of lack of sleep.

[Among other things.]

Re: voice;

[hashtagparkerluck]

Yeah, that's probably all mine is too, but I've never started to feel dizzy from not enough sleep.

Uh... anyways, you okay? 'Cause if you need to talk to someone, my door's open.

Re: voice;

[adropofsunlight]

I mean that could be other things too, I just know that I'm tired.

I'm fine. Tired obviously, but fine.

[But she wasn't necessarily fine.]

voice

[hashtagparkerluck]

Uh, sure. If you say so. [ He's not too sure he believes her. He's a master at 'fake it till you make it' and he has suspicions. ]

Just uh, if you need to talk? I mean you seemed pretty upset on the battle field.

voice

[adropofsunlight]

[She smiled, mostly to herself. She knows she will be fine eventually, she just knows this was a huge thing to adjust to.]

Uh... yeah I was. I guess what happened was a pretty big shock...

voice

[hashtagparkerluck]

Yeah, I can imagine-I mean I've heard of girls getting really depressed over their hair getting cut and they usually plan for that to happen.

But uh... it'll take way less time to dry now. And it might not be as fast but you could always learn to uh care for people and treat wounds and stuff the normal way?

Re: voice

[adropofsunlight]

It will. less time to wash in general. I always felt bad for those who had to wait when it was my turn.

[Because she was probably in there for a while.]

I will try and learn that way of caring... it's something. Just not a quick fix.

voice

[hashtagparkerluck]

No, but like... few things in life are. And who knows, maybe you still have the magic it was just more that your hair was a conductor?

Re: voice

[adropofsunlight]

A conductor? What's that?

[luckybucky]

Just lie down and close your eyes for a while. Even if you don't sleep, you'll probably feel better.

When's the last time you ate an actual meal?

[hashtagparkerluck]

I hope so... [ He shakes his head. ]

Uh, not since before the mission that wasn't-you know, rationed pretty heavily.

[luckybucky]

[Is he surprised? No, not at all.] If you can walk in a straight line, come down to the kitchen and I'll make you a sandwich or something. You can eat a BLT, right?

[hashtagparkerluck]

Yeah, of course. Why wouldn't I be able to?

[luckybucky]

I just don't want to accidentally almost kill you. Again.

[hashtagparkerluck]

I mean. Even if you did it’s not like I was gonna hold a grudge.

[luckybucky]

You're not the only one I'm worried about. Besides, it wasn't exactly fun for either of us.

[hashtagparkerluck]

No but, things are rarely fun for me.

[luckybucky]

How old are you, again?

[hashtagparkerluck]

uh sixteen?

[luckybucky]

We need to get you out to Coney Island sometime, or down to the beach. You're too young for this shit.

[hashtagparkerluck]

Yeah, we did the beach thing and then like my girlfriend left the train. I've explained Parker luck to you before, haven't I?

[luckybucky]

Yeah, I think so. Maybe we should see if some of those aliens have luck magic or something. We could both use it.

[hashtagparkerluck]

Maybe, but I'd be kinda worried about what would happen when the luck runs out. I'd be due for a huge back log of misfortune and I think I'd rather not.

...I've just-I've lost enough, ya know?

[luckybucky]

So you're just gonna isolate yourself and be miserable for the rest of your life? You know, you could just as easily enjoy what you've got as much as you can while you've still got it.

[knifewithnoname]

It do probably be being because you have no been eating a lot. You have no been drinking a lot. You did be fighting monsters instead of sleeping and instead of staying put you did be getting lost in the desert.

[Yes she is totally calling you out. Idiot friend.]

You should be going to bed. Be drinking first. I will be bringing you some food later.

[hashtagparkerluck]

No, no I really haven't and I think it's wrecking havoc on my powers. [ He admits, sounding thoroughly exhausted. ]

I still have bruises from a few days ago-they should have healed by now.

[knifewithnoname]

Your powers did be stopping working? [Her voice has gone from chiding and teasing, to actually worried.] Where do you be being?

[hashtagparkerluck]

Uh yeah, it kinda seems that way-at least the healing part.

[knifewithnoname]

Where do you be being, Peter? [She repeats. Don't make her hunt him down.]

[hashtagparkerluck]

Dressing car, I'm like. Always here.

[knifewithnoname]

I would have been finding you easily then. [And the screen goes blank.

But it's not too long before the dressing carriage door slides open and she appears, trying not to look as worried as she feels.]

You should be being in bed.

[hashtagparkerluck]

[ Peter just shrugs because when things are getting bad he tends to just try and go with it rather than worry about it. He's sure his powers will come back since the Spider-bite warped his whole DNA. There's absolutely no reason to worry. Or so he tells himself. ]

But the hammocks are waaaay more comfortable than the cots. It's easier for me to relax in here.

[knifewithnoname]

Okay, then you can be staying there. [She went over, a worried frown on her lips.] Has this been happening before?
