Midnight Manor Boarding House Roof, Wednesday

Yep, Arden was still out on the roof, bundled up on a nest (ha!) of pillows and blankets and cushions. It had been several days since the...everything...and she had to admit she wasn't doing much better. The healing Alastair had given her had done her a lot of good, but she wasn't getting better. She was still pale, still drawn, pretty much anything physical was a chore, even eating and drinking left her exhausted. She knew she was still running a fever, from the way she went from sweating to chills. And she was doing her best baby fawn impression every time she had to go downstairs to shower or change, legs trembling, balance shaky.

Arden hadn't really ever been sick before. Othersiders healed faster than humans both from injury and what few illnesses were transmissible. The first time she'd been punished with bronze, it had taken her awhile to heal from her physical wounds but, ugh, at least she hadn't had a fever. They were the worst. But she was hydrated thanks to the Khans buying a truly absurd amount of Gatorade and she even had a huge care package from Raiden made up of donuts and more cheese than she knew what to do with (yeah, that wasn't true, she was gonna use whatever she hadn't already eaten to make a mean macaroni and cheese when she was finally better, that's what she was gonna do), and she felt a little closer to huma--to normal for a bit.

So, despite the books and magazines and the presence of her laptop that Cal and Kamala had brought for her, Arden was feeling a little bored and a little antsy. Maybe some folks wouldn't mind coming to visit for a bit...?

Pulling out her phone, she started sending texts.

“Need anything?” Asked the nearly ever present Kamala. “I have gained access to Abbu’s Uber Eats account so the squishies are on him. Or anything else your heart desires, all yours for a limited time.”

"I can probably get you something from Baltimore," Kamala said poking around on the app. "What do you want? Lobster? Caviar? Champagne?"

It had taken for eve for that stupid concoction Dean had put together to change color. When it finally did, Dean knew exactly where to find Arden.

“Hey kid. You look like crap,” he said with a tone of humor in his voice.

He really shouldn’t take that opinion as he looked a little beat up himself.


“Got a little something for you.”

"I'm fine. Just part of the job," Dean said, a smile spreading across his face. If Arden was sassing him, that meant she was miles away from the state she’d been in on Saturday.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a vial with a screw-top lid. The liquid inside was a muddy brown color. "You caught at least one lucky break this weekend. One of the smartest guys I know visited me and helped me track down the recipe for this. It should help with your bronze poisoning and clear out your system."

Charlie was, of course, going to come by, lightly charmed pie in hand. However the sight of Arden has her stopping in her tracks. "Arden? What...?"
wildgalegirl: (Worried)

[personal profile] wildgalegirl 2024-10-09 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
"For you I got a million," Charlie said and sat beside her looking more serious than Arden had probably ever seen her. "Tell me. I'm all ears."

Sometime late-ish in the morning, Watts made his way up to the roof with, you guessed it, more bread.

"Miss Finch," he greeted. "How are you feeling today?
pocketpretzels: (pardon?)

[personal profile] pocketpretzels 2024-10-09 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
"Is that so?" Watts replied, amused. "Well, lucky for you then that I've brought some more."

Along the shore came riding a brave knight on a mighty steeds, hooves thunder--

--well, okay, Triumph's hooves weren't really the thundering type, but Arden could probably hear his excited trumpeter squeals to alert her to his and Graham's approach.

And then Graham spotted her on the roof, reined Triumph to a halt, and called up, waving his arm. " 'Lo, Arden! It's me! Graham! I come bearing jelly beans!"
pun_king: (hey! that's pretty great!)

[personal profile] pun_king 2024-10-09 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
"The perfect accompaniment to jelly beans!" Graham remarked, sounding impressed. "May we come up?"

You were absolutely getting very important Triumph recovery snuggles today, Arden!

Was there already more than enough materials for Arden's nest? Yes. Was Cal bringing more blankets? Also yes.

"Okay, I found a heated blanket that is not only big enough for more than one person, but we can plug in up here," he said. "You're not going to get better if you freeze at night."

[personal profile] moreofaponchoguy 2024-10-10 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, you could have the blanket all to yourself, or you could share," Cal pointed out. "With Kamala, obviously, I don't need extra heat when I've got BD."

The warmth was going to be BD setting him on fire if he wasn't careful.

"Hi Cal!" Kamala said holding up her phone. "We're getting ramen. Do you want any? It's on my parents so you can get something extra special."

[personal profile] moreofaponchoguy 2024-10-10 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh, thanks! I don't want to spend too much if your parents are paying for it," he said. "Can I get medium spicy?"
