18th Dawn

[Hey, what's this? There's some guy with his head against the food synthesizer this morning. Someone we haven't seen for a while, and in the morning of all times. His pants are the brightest purple ever, and to make things worse, one of the back pockets has a little rainbow heart on it. His sleeveless shirt is made up of orange and purple tiger stripes, and there's an old school, brightly colored slap bracelet on his left wrist. His hair is an utter mop right now, barely-combed.]

...I just want some bacon and eggs. That's ALL I want from you. [There's a bunch of candy and cake in the trashcan nearby...]

[He pushes the button again. Instead out comes a stack of pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream. He bangs his head against the food synthesizer once and grumbles.]

...At least it's breakfast food. [He settles for it and shuffles half-awake over to a table to eat. It's about then he realizes he's being watched.] Hey, Cam. Hey guys. I'm still here. I was sick for a while. Instead of spreading a disease around a small satellite, I figured you'd all appreciate it if I went ahead and quarantined myself. [An unethusiastic thumbs up.] You're welcome.

Actually. Namine? [He parts his bangs so its possible to see his eyes.] ...Thanks for the soup. [He smiles.] It helped.

By the way, has this week affected anyone else's sleep? [HE suddenly looks VERY sleepy.] I keep dreaming about animals that look like a rainbow sneezed on them. [Going...] And places I've never been before. [His head's drooping, and he seems to realize this because he props himself up with an arm. Going...] And like now I can't stay...

[Gone. Riku falls face-first into his pancakes, out cold. He'll be quite the sight when he finally lifts his head again. At least the pancakes are nice and soft and warm.]

[She raises an eyebrow at this, but at least she finally arrives. She walks over and tries tapping Riku's back with her hoof to see if she can wake him up first.]
sailorgenerous: (Not quite what I had in mind)

[Rarity arrives not long after Celestia, concern on her face. These things really need to stop happening to her friends. She bows politely to Celestia, then looks at Riku, considering.]

Princess, would you mind helping me? I would like to take Riku to get cleaned up, but I don't think I can carry him by myself and I would rather not have to drag him.
royal_sunrise: (calm)

[She smiles.] Of course Rarity. [She'll now attempt to move him to at least make him more comfortable and to make it easier on both her and Rarity.]
royal_sunrise: (confused)

[She's surprised by this.] Pardon?
sailorgenerous: (...what)

[personal profile] sailorgenerous 2012-08-27 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
[She pulls Riku partially on her back, hoping Celestia will be able to take the rest of his weight - she can't take all of his weight, after all - and pauses when he mutters in his sleep.]

It...may> simply be something from his home. Everypony's worlds are different. We could ask him once he wakes up, I suppose.

[Don't worry, she does take the rest of the weight. After all, that's why she agreed to help.] Perhaps. We should also get him cleaned up a little bit.
sailorgenerous: (This drama goes to 11)

True. The bathrooms are on the residence levels. [And with some carefully in-sync walking, they manage to get him to one of the open bathrooms. Rarity calmly turn on the water, leans Riku backwards over the edge of the tub, and starts washing the strawberry goop out of his hair, careful not to run the water directly on his face.]

Honestly, what did he think would happen, falling asleep in his pancakes like that? I've never seen anypony do something like that - except maybe Twilight after a long night of reading.

[It may not be entirely proper to gossip with the Princess, but it is better than awkward silence.]
royal_sunrise: (calm)

[Oh it's okay Rarity. She can't help but smile at this as she helps Rarity with washing Riku's hair.] Oh really now? I should advise her to get some better sleep when I speak with her next time. [Speaking of Twilight, she's the only pony she has yet to speak with. She's starting to think that maybe she's been sent home, which would be for the best since then her best student would be safe and sound.]
royal_sunrise: (aw crap!)

[personal profile] royal_sunrise 2012-09-12 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
[She notices this right away and moves a hoof under Riku's chin to try to close his mouth, since she didn't want him to choke.]
