MCA #3, Friday

[uncertain_dume]

Kanan's head was rebelling on him.

Well. More than his head. All of his senses. If Rapture had been bad, this place had been a slow-burn flood into hell itself, the sickness creeping through everything on the island until all Kanan could feel was the poison battering at his defenses, a Force migraine gone overboard.

He hadn't been infected, no, but it had gotten bad enough that he wasn't even certain he could get out of bed today if he wanted to, and not just because he had a dog sprawled across his feet and a cat on his chest, insisting he stay put. Mostly because he was warm, granted, but at least a little bit because he wasn't whatever that creeping horror was outside.

... He wasn't inclined to argue.

This wasn't a great week to be nominally Jedi on this island, no.

[OOC: ... My Friday spam is so much simpler when most of the regulars are monsters. Open for anyone who has any business visiting/calling Kanan at home!]

"Something's poisoning the water," Kanan offered. And then sighed. "And then the water is poisoning everything else. Which, in turn, is spreading... more poison."

Poison was such a toned-down word for that.

[thatwaslucky]

"Are you poisoned?" she asked, concerned.

[uncertain_dume]

"No," Kanan sighed. "No, I'm not. A lot of people are, though, a lot of everything is. And I can feel that, too. The Force itself is screaming from it."

Well. That might have been personifying the Force a little much, but it was the easiest way to explain it.

"Just have to make it a couple more days," Rey said, though that sounded like a terrible way to spend a couple days. "Are you at least somewhere safe?"

[uncertain_dume]

"At home with a couple of housepets pinning me to my back," Kanan admitted. "I made off with Summer's cat, and Stance is... Stance."

And wasn't Kanan relieved he hadn't taken the pup by the park on Monday in his vest-vesty-vest?

[thatwaslucky]

"Oh, good, you have company. Definitely listen to them," she said.

[uncertain_dume]

"They definitely know what they're on about," Kanan conceded.

Pancakes had almost been lunch, after all.

"Until this one passes over, I'm going to probably be taking it easy."

[thatwaslucky]

"Good call. I can get off the phone," Rey said. "Sounds like you need the rest."

[uncertain_dume]

Kanan sighed a little, not wanting Rey to feel like she had to rush to leave him alone.

"I'm okay," he muttered. "At least let me know how you're doing today, first?"

... He still worried.

[thatwaslucky]

"I'm fine. I finished up some things and then have to work on my speeder. You're not missing anything exciting," she assured him.

[uncertain_dume]

"Okay. Good."

Kanan... might have sounded a little more relieved than he had intended to. In fairness, most people in his life were some manner of not okay or another. Hearing that Rey was safe and sound somewhere was probably the best thing to happen to him all week.

[thatwaslucky]

"I'm absolutely fine," Rey told him, "and now I'm hanging up and you can sleep."

[uncertain_dume]

Kanan breathed out a soft laugh.

"Go on, then. Get your work done. Maybe next week will be better."

He didn't think he'd get much by way of sleep. He wasn't going to worry her by saying so.
