001- I WANT to know what's going on?

Who: Billy Kaplan and OPEN
What: Exploring the power plant, the hotel, and being sick
When: First few days on Agra 10
Where: The power plant, and the hotel
Warnings: N/A will edit as needed.



The Power Plant

Because of course Billy Kaplan would immediately head away from safety and towards possible danger. Not that the weird squirrel like things are proving too much of a hazard, but he is getting pretty far from town. The path isn't too difficult to manage, but he does have the advantage of floating lazily over any fallen debris or dangers.

His feet return to the ground as he finds the power plant, head tilting curiously as he sets out to explore. There's a bunch of tools, and some strange crystal things, none of which seem of much use until he find the data point. He hesitates a moment before giving into the urge to touch it, shivering at the strange sensation and the sudden knowledge that follows.


The Hotel

Despite how run down everything is, Billy feels wrong about approaching the stores as a means of shelter. Of course, the hotel practically screams 'you-might-get-murdered-here' but beggars can't be chooser, and he's reasons maybe they'll actually be some kind of bed. His magic isn't working so great, the less he has the conjure up the better.

He tries to get handle on the layout, exploring a few floors before finding a room that seems to be more or less empty. Of people or animals that is. What it is full of is debris. Trash, broken furniture, some stuff he doesn't want to examine too closely.

While he's still got a bit of light to work with he tries to clear the worst of it out.


The Contagion

It's slow to hit him, but Billy eventually has to admit he isn't feeling great, and it's not just his powers being weaker than usual. He's hot, and sore, and increasingly paranoid, which makes it rather difficult to get him to listen to reason and stay put.

He keeps leaving his room, too sick to make it anywhere in particular but sure he needs to get out of there, suspicious of anyone who tries to approach him.

Contagion AKA STAY THE FUCK STILL

Listen, Tommy is NOT a nurse. He is NOT a caregiver. He had BARELY been able to serve as support while Billy was deep in a depressive fugue in the past. This is not what he does. And yet.

And yet sick Billy is clearly an idiot. Like, literally the biggest fucking idiot ever. Like right up there with 'I don't wanna be a hero anymore' sorts of stupidity. And apparently 'summon interdimensional parasites' stupidity. But right now, this was its own sort of destructiveness.

Tommy had gone out to get Billy some water, and by the time he came back, his brother wasn't in their room again. Frustrated he of course goes looking, and when he finds his twin, he sweeps Billy up into his arms.

"You're going to be the death of me."

"Fucking idiot," Tommy sighs as he carries his brother along. Back to their room, back to the pile of leaves he had set up to serve as something like a mattress. Because those bedframes didn't do much without a mattress.

"Haven't gotten sick yet," Tommy counters. "Haven't been sick once since my mutation. So shut up. It'll be safe. You think I'm going to let something hurt you?"

"Yeah, you're going to lay there and get sleep," Tommy sighs. Don't make him lay down and wrap Billy up in his arms. Because he knew his twin was too hot right at the moment.

"I got water for you."

Power Plant

Frustrated with the lack of viable electronics, Delta had gone for the power plant right away. If he was going to be useful in this situation--no, he had to stop thinking like that. If he was going to maximize his capabilities (that's better), having a way to process and store data would help immensely, and he hadn't found any paper yet.

But before he could even begin to work on any scavenged electronics, they'd need power.

Not quite the first to make it to the plant, he calls out to Billy when he notices someone else around. "Hello. May I ask if you have found anything of interest?"

Of course the answer should be yes - there are interesting things all around - but the person's answer might help enlighten Delta as to what manner of things there are, and what this person finds interesting.

Alright then. Tommy sits carefully next to his brother, reaching out to feel his forehead. He's seen it on TV, so it has to tell you something, right? And sure enough, he can feel the heat from Billy's skin. Which only deepens his concern.

"Yeah, I drank at the fountain," Tommy lies through his teeth as he holds the glass out to his brother. Good part about the whole Whale Comb was that there was still all the original dishes. Which meant glasses for transporting a bit of water at a time. "Come on, Rebecca and Jeff would shoot me if they found out you were sick and I didn't keep you hydrated."

"I'm not their concern," Tommy reminds Billy. The same thing he'd said to Teddy before he left the Kaplan residence. When he couldn't see how Billy was choosing to abandon him just like his family had. "And I'm looking after me. I got us food, did my time in the greenhouse today, you know, the usuals."

No deliberate exercising, but they're sorta beyond that.

"Well, I'm learning that I really wish I had a laundromat," Tommy admits, smirking to himself. Should he tell his brother about Vision being there too? For right now he thinks not. "My jeans are all dirty at the knees, and I can't wash them in the fountain. Have to haul water out with the leaves I use to water, and scrub them."

There is only so much he can do. But there's always options.

"Oh, and there's a vine that the sap or oil or something from can give me rashes."

Thing is, Tommy doesn't know if he fully wants something. He's more interested in seeing how Vision takes the situation. The guy is sorta... not so bad. Tommy sighs and pulls his knees up to his chest.

"Just hives I think? Or something like that? Never had a reaction like that before. I was a healthy kid. Yanno, when I wasn't sick."

"I'm not sick," Tommy promises, his voice soft. "But next time it rolls around, you can nurse me. Promise."

Not that Tommy gets sick much. Speedster metabolism and all that mess.

"And nah, they've already faded."

Hotel!

Steve has more or less adopted the hotel as his territory to patrol. When he's not out and exploring the town he's walking up and down the halls, mostly to make sure he knows who is living here and to offer help when it is needed. He happens upon Billy as he's working on clearing out his room and, with the sun almost setting for their brief night, figures that this is a good time to just jump in.

"Hey," he greets. Steve offers a quick smile before going for one of the larger chunks of...concrete, maybe? Some sort of rock at any rate. Even Steve has to put some effort into moving it. Not a lot, mind you, but still. "Hadta pick the fixer-upper room, huh?"

Doctor? Tommy laughs. He's never amounted to anything. He'll never amount to anything. Except for being a farmer right now. But he's happy for what he has right now.

"I grow things now. And no one would trust me taking care of anyone but you," Tommy shrugs. Still, he watches the door briefly. "I can get to the door before anyone can even crosses in front of it. I'll keep you safe."

"You're sick. Alien planets with alien illnesses. There's a hospital. I could ask Vision or someone to see if they can look into it."

Not that Tommy wants to hand Billy over to someone else to take care of. But he's got to do something to help his brother, right?

"Gotta tell me what's going on beyond the fever and your freaking out over nothing."

Huh... Sounds a little like... "Chicken pox? But not the same I'm guessing. You probably shouldn't go so far as to scratch at them, right?"

Those could be scar making.
