Just a few weeks. Yeah. I can do this. No problem...



[Half an hour later...]

[Shipmates, feel free to find the poor guy sprawled out by the table in the galley. Unfortunately, don't expect much response from him over the journal. Someone's going through sugar withdrawal.]

Whaaaat, only..?

[Action]

[mostattitude]

...Yeah. An hour.

[DOES HE NEED TO SMACK SOME SENSE INTO GAIUS. DO THEY KNOW EACH OTHER WELL ENOUGH FOR THAT.]

[Action]

[willwork4sugar]

Ugh....

[Look, give him some credit, he's trying to sit up at least.]

[Action]

[mostattitude]

There you go. Use those stomach muscles, put some effort into it.

[Deadpan all the way.

Then he turns away to raid through some of the cabinets.]

[Action]

[willwork4sugar]

[Okay, that's enough stomach muscling. He manages to prop his arms under him. Come one Gaius, if this is you at an hour, how bad would it be after a day? A week?]

[Action]

[mostattitude]

[Returns to the table with whatever random fruit he managed to find. He plops an apple down in front of Gaius.]

Eat.

[Action]

[willwork4sugar]

[He blinks at that, but reaches over to pick up the apple. And since Raphael's talking with that tone, he'll take a bite.]

[Action]

[mostattitude]

[He dumps a few other things onto the table -- a couple oranges and a banana.]

Fruit has sugar in it. Or something. Right? Maybe you'll look like less of a wimp if you use that as a substitute.

[Action]

[willwork4sugar]

....

[He runs a hand over his face.]

Gods, you think I'd figure that. This no-sugar thing's affecting my brain.

[Action]

[mostattitude]

[RAPH IS A GENIUS.

...Dang it.

He blames Donnie, his nerdiness must be rubbing off.]

You should eat whatever Mikey makes for dinner, too, but at least the fruit is healthy. ...Hey, maybe you could make this a permanent switch!

[Action]

[willwork4sugar]

Eh, let's take this one step at a time, huh?

[He supposes the effort couldn't hurt, but there's no way he can completely give up sugary goodies forever.]
