Hey Ni.

I accidentally a fic :C
---
"I have what?" I hadn't heard Roland sound that panicked in years.

"Space AIDS," Reilly repeated. Worryingly, he didn't seem to be struggling to keep a straight face.

"What does that translate to in Earth diseases?" Roland's voice sounded far too calm, but judging from the death grip he had on my hand, he was just as worried as I was.

Reilly looked nervous. "It's... what we call anything we have no idea what it is."

"You really have absolutely no idea?" I interrupted.

"Zip," Reilly said, skewering me with a stony glare that I could've sworn I knew from somewhere. "I ran every test twice, personally, just to be sure. We have no idea."

Roland took a deep breath and said something quiet (and doubtless uncomplimentary) in German.

"Thanks, Reilly," I said.

Roland stood up, and said calmly, "Jeb, I think we're done here. Let's go."

I followed him out of Reilly's office, keeping my fear away through an effort of will -- without a solid diagnosis, I had no idea what was wrong with Roland. Not knowing what was wrong with him, I was helpless to do anything.

And no matter what, I couldn't let him die.

It wouldn't leave until I wrote it. The phrase "space AIDS" has been stuck in my head for hours D:

D'you want me on right now?

[nathan_p]

It sounds like something Keptin Kirk would catch *snerk*

I didn't feel like coming up with something RL ._. (Also, when you make shit up you can pick any symptoms you want :D)

...OK fine.

[Nighthawk]

Wow that's freaking brilliant. XD I wish I had time to read all of the RC. Unfortunately I haven't yet had time to start it. :C

[nathan_p]

Thanks -- it's inspired by a fic Ni just posted >.>

I don't blame you for not reading RC. So damn long.

[nathan_p]

Well, so was mine... okay, except for space AIDS.

[Nighthawk]

Phew. That makes me feel better, but it also lessens my chances of ever getting started. :/

[nathan_p]

One chapter at a time, man... just think of it that way >.>

[nathan_p]

Which continues to freak me out, just a bit XD

[nathan_p]

Ah. See, that doesn't really happen to me.

[Nighthawk]

I just got back on and Mom's forcing me off of the computer. Undoubtedly I will be back in the morning when nobody else is here. >:( Oh well, hope I get to talk to you guys again someday. Grrrr. G'night anyway.

[nathan_p]

Night. I might be here.
