[ video ]

[ Late Friday morning, Minato manages to coordinate his sluggish movements enough to start a video feed on his COMP. He'd honestly rather just ask this by text, but he's having difficulty focusing enough to type, and video is easier. He's looking pretty pallid, though his cheeks are flushed with fever and his eyes are a bit glazed, as he sniffs and shivers and blinks blearily at the camera. ]

Anyone know where to go to see a doctor? [ His voice is very froggy, and although he opens his mouth to say something else, he breaks off with a cough, and he turns the COMP away while he recovers, muffling his coughs into the crook of his elbow. ]

Ah... sorry. I also... wanted to know if the doctors here made house calls...

[ It's cold outside, and he has a fever and doesn't relish the thought of stumbling to a clinic on the other side of the city. ]

Thanks.

Oh you know, the standard. Defervescents, antihistimines, stuff that can help combat the bugs. Stuff like that. We potion makers WERE the original pharmacists, you know.

[fools_journey]

Of course, but I didn't know what you had ingredients for...

Do you have a fever reducer and decongestant?

[misery_hates_company]

Of course! Child's play. Technically I could make a potion that could knock out the fever altogether, but to be frank the side effects are worse than the disease.

[fools_journey]

Oh?

[ He's curious. He's never much liked medicine, but it's still interesting to know what medicines do... ]

Like what?

[misery_hates_company]

Let's just say spontaneously flushing out everything that causes ONE sort of disease has an unfortunate tendency to flush out other things in the process. Oh ho ho ho ho.

[fools_journey]

Oh.... that does sound... unpleasant.

But... fevers help you get better anyway...

[ At least, if he remembers rightly they do. He starts to say something else, but breaks off into coughing. When he recovers, he focuses a little more on her original offer. ]

um... how much would decongestant be?

[ He probably shouldn't try to haggle while sick, but well.... ]

[misery_hates_company]

I think I can be reasonable. Say... 1500 yen.

*THAT'S reasonable?!*

[fools_journey]

Ah... how many doses would that be?

[ That's not so bad for cold medicine if it's a whole bottle of it or something. ]

[misery_hates_company]

Hmm, I'd say maybe four, five? It's QUITE effective, you know.

[fools_journey]

[ He nods slowly, not doubting it but still wanting to know. ]

How long do they last?

[misery_hates_company]

Oh, I'd say a good eight hours or so. As I said, they're VERY good.

[fools_journey]

Okay... [ He sniffs. ] Do you deliver or should I ask someone to pick it up?

[ Because he's not sure he trusts himself to actually find his way anywhere, right now. ]

[misery_hates_company]

I think I can spare a bit of time to do a delivery if you provide your apartment number.

*The catch being she delivers it to your WINDOW, not your door. Ahh, flying.*
