[Voice - Action for Sinewave]

[It's the new year now, and that seems really strange to Hachiken with his new adventure on the seas in a different land. His tone is preoccupied. At first he's muttering to himself. Then he speaks and he sounds tired.]

The holidays are something else huh? If anyone has recipes, I'm open to new ideas. I've been here a little while and I think I've tried everything I can think of. I'm going to get what I need to make sausage at the first opportunity if anyone wants to order some.

I guess my wish for the new year would be to go home. I miss my friends and everything.

I want to wish everyone...[He trails off a little]

...a happy...

[And there's a thud as Hachiken hits the deck.]

[Oh for god's sake]

--Hey! Hachiken?

[Don't let that tinge of concern in her voice get to your head, Hachiken--Codi is linefacing so hard right now, and the shakes she administers to his shoulder are far from gentle.]

[Hachiken doesn't stir. He looks tired, with circles under his eyes, his hair has been fingercombed quite a bit over the course of the last few hours. He didn't finish breakfast though, it's still half made on the counter.]

...Hachiken.

[Codi tries giving him one more shake, snaps her fingers in his face. If he doesn't respond then he's getting slapped. Hard.]

[Unfortunately for him, Hachiken is out cold.]

[SMACK!]

Hachiken wake up! I am not carrying you all the way below-decks, do you understand?

[He doesn't stir at first, but just when it seems like he won't he lets out a little sigh, his fingers twitching.]

Hachiken. Hachiken!

[Shake shake...he's not going to wake up, is he?]

[...]

[Ugh.]

[With a reluctant sigh and some choice words grumbled under her breath, Codi tries to hoist the ship's young cook over her shoulder. She is 5'4'' and not terribly bulky, so this is a serious undertaking.]

[Hachiken is lucky he's a cute little bastard, otherwise she wouldn't bother putting in the effort.]

[It'll be a good hour before he finally begins to stir, wherever he happens to be then. He'll open his eyes slowly and raise his arm to drape it over them. The light, it hurts.]

[He's not in his hammock, that's for sure--Codi's managed to get him into the hold, but Hachiken can probably blame a good chunk of his current headache from the fact that Codi dropped him at least twice on the way there, and finally just gave up at the bottom of the steps because she didn't want to concuss him or something. Either way, she bothered to drag him to the side, give him a pillow, and even provide him with a cooled cup of simple, slightly over-salted vegetable soup sitting next to his face. Not that she could get it too warm in the first place, but at least it's cooked, right?]

[Presently, Codi is not around. She got bored of sitting around and poking him a while ago, but she'll probably show up to check on him in a little bit.]

[Hachiken takes a bit of time, adjusting to the light before daring to sit up slowly. His vision swims and he pulls his glasses off with a sigh, closing his eyes.

He'll sit there like a good boy and sip his soup for a little while. Thanks to his new headache, getting up is going to take awhile.]

About time!

[Codi's ginger-topped head pokes in from the top of the stairs, leering from her perch with equal parts curiosity and concern.]

How are you feeling? Better?

[Oh wow, that's loud. Hachiken grimaces slightly before slowly tilting his head back to look up at her.]

I'm fine.

[Well he did lose his pride, so there's that.]

[What sliver of gentleness Codi was exercising promptly disappears. Her hands go to her hips.]

You'd better be! [Nope, not being quiet. Enjoy your migraine!] Do you know how long you were out? And even after I told you to take care of yourself--Hachiken, I was worried sick! You can't keep doing this to yourself! You didn't need to do that to yourself! What the hell stressed you out so much that you keeled over for half a day?

[He grimaces, putting his hand to his head. Codi's so kind.]

I'm sorry I caused so much trouble for you.

[She does what she can! :D]

Save your self-pity for when you're stuck in bed for the rest of the day and I figure out how to make better soup. Answer my question first--what made you stress so much? We need to fix this.

Edited 2014-01-02 18:51 (UTC)

You don't have to do that, I'll come take care of it in a minute.

[Hachiken half shrugs a bit.]

I must have been more tired then I thought.

Ah! [Codi points a commanding finger at the prone figure of her shipmate and glares.] If I see you anywhere near these steps, mister, you're going to wish you were still unconscious. Now get in your cot and stay there.

[Hachiken seems a little startled.]

But I'm awake now, I can do some work.

[Reasonably so! Codi starts descending the steps with the threat of violence (though not the intent--Hachiken's been dropped enough today).]

You will do no such thing. If you want me to bring down some potatoes for you to peel or something then fine, but you are not leaving this room. Do you understand?

[He knows when he's beat. He sighs and nods his head. It'll have to be okay for now, hopefully they can manage.]

Fine, I will stay here.

[She seems satisfied with that response, as her arms cross and she stops her advances with a terse frown and a small stamp of the foot.]

Good. I'll be checking up often, so don't even think about trying to sneak out. If you need me to bring you something, write me a note in the journal or bang on the ceiling or whatever.

And for god's sake, get some sleep. Alright?

It's alright you don't need to trouble yourself with checking up on me. I won't leave, I promise.

[He gets to his feet, a little unsteady thanks to his headache and moves at least to sit on the cot instead of the floor. He sighs a little.]

I don't think I can sleep.

I can and I will. I usually need to come down here anyways for supplies, so that's not a problem.

[Codi watches Hachiken with sharp eyes as he moves across the room, but she doesn't come any closer.]

Well you're not going to do much else, so you might as well close your eyes and sit back for a couple hours. I'll bring you something to keep your hands busy if you don't fall asleep first.

Alright.

[He supposes he can agree to it, since he doesn't have much of a choice. Hachiken sighs softly as he gets settled, comfortable.]

Oh well that's very sweet of you. Thank you, very mu--huh, wait?

[ That voice is familiar, isn't it? Before she's even had a chance to talk about sausages and wishes, the physical thud she hears along with the one in the journal startles her. ]

H-Hey?!

[Unfortunately, Hachiken's going to be out a little while.]

Oi! Answer me!

[ She never had a chance to talk. It only clicks a few seconds too late that maybe something is wrong and she should check up on him! ]

Hold on, I'm coming! [ Maybe?! ]

[Hachiken has passed out on the galley floor, breakfast half prepared and left on the counter.]

[ Grace hops off of Amy's shoulders to go poke her nose around on the counter, leaving the girl to squat down next to her crewmate. She's never seen anyone like this before, not even her frail brother, so she's not too upset. Mostly curious. ]

Hello?? Hey, hey, hey. Are you listening? Hey?

[He isn't, he's out cold and will be for about an hour.]

[ Is it normal for crewmates to suddenly pass out dead to the world?

... maybe she can stop by his room a little later when he's awake? ]

[She certainly can, since Codi dropped him down the stairs so after all of that, he's in bed. Codi won't let him leave the bed.]

[ Then she's paying him a visit! ]

Hey, are you feeling better? [ He must be if he's awake in bed, but Amy just has to ask! ] You cut our conversation short, but I think with the circumstances as they were that it was all right.

I'm sorry, that was terribly rude of me. Please forgive me.

Huh??

[ Why is he apologizing for passing out? Now she feels bad for bringing it up in the first place. ]

No, no, no. It'll be okay! I'm not mad at you for it or anything!

I didn't mean to inconvenience anyone. I am fine though, you don't need to worry.

Ah! [That thud startled her quite a bit.]

Is my lord alright?

[Unfortunately, there won't be an answer for awhile.]

[And watch her start to get more and more worried over him during this time of silence.]
