( broadcasting live from the dark cave that is her bedroom, skye opts for the safety of semi-anonymous texting when facing the wide open world of the network. granted, her username is literally a pun on her name, so it's not exactly the most subtle option in the world... but she's sticking to it. she thinks she's funny, anyway. )

is there a doctor in the house?

( or, you know, on the moon. )

What happened? Are you all right?

[evite]

i overdid it on the weird girl workout, i think

( she'd been trying to quake down a basketball from its pinched spot between a backboard and a net. after thirty minutes of attempting, this had been her reward. not super encouraging. )

know anywhere i could pick up some good pain meds?

[seeingscarlet]

I think you need a new hobby then.

[Geez, it looks like she fell off a building or something.]

You stay where you are and I bring them to you?

[evite]

i'm definitely not moving any time soon
good luck getting me off this couch

( it's a good thing skye works remotely. if she had to commute into an office on the regular like this, she might be calling out more often than not. )

i have beer in the fridge if you're up for that
otherwise i'll owe you one

[seeingscarlet]

Do you need anything else? I can bring you food too

Don't worry about it.

[evite]

does anyone ever turn down delivered food?

( no, she will not. )

i'll pay you back
i'm not a complete loser

[seeingscarlet]

Any requests?

[Look okay, normally Wanda's more on top of it than that, but she can't read minds over these things.]

[evite]

...
weirdly i have a super strong craving for kraft mac and cheese
but i'll settle for chinese take out, i guess

( """settle""" )

[seeingscarlet]

[oh no, Chinese take out, however will she survive]

If you start mixing them I'm taking you to a doctor

Where are you? I can be there soon

[evite]

in my defense, the doctor is coming to me

( but she'll send her address all the same. she's getting lazier with her privacy hacks, honestly, but the more she does them the faster they go. in any case, she's putting her money on the fact that the self-titled scarlet witch is a good witch. )

should i unlock the door or are you planning on coming by broomstick through my window?

[seeingscarlet]

[in her defense, the name wasn't her idea, she's just rolling with it]

I use doors. Window visits are extra

[evite]

so yes to unlocking the door
got it

( she should probably consider investing in an actual doormat, what with all her new visitors. )

... do you know if there's an ice machine in this building?

[seeingscarlet]

thanks

can look? Or bring you a bag.

[evite]

i will not say no to ice delivery
my arms basically feel like i'm being stabbed by my bones so a little numbness probably couldn't hurt

[seeingscarlet]

Did you break them?

[evite]

is it weird to say i don't know?
i was practicing some new skills, you know, trying to pad my resume or something
i might have overdone it a little

>> action!

[seeingscarlet]

Only a little?

I'll get an extra bag

[Eventually, Wanda knocks at the door and comes in, a parade of ice bags and takeout floating behind her.]

Hello?

[evite]

( talk about a convenient supershtick. from her perch on the couch, skye offers a weak lift of her hand; it's not quite warm and welcoming, but it's as good as it gets when her arms are currently out of commission. )

Hey. ( make yourself at home, et cetera. ) Welcome to the party.

[seeingscarlet]

[Wanda manages a wry grin.] Maybe party a little less next time.

[The ice floats to the counter, where Wanda sets about putting some makeshift ice packs together, while the bag with the takeout and a drink drifts over to the couch.]

I hope you like orange chicken.

[And fried rice and an egg roll, but seriously, who doesn't?]

[evite]

Um, I'm sorry, did you live on a planet where people don't like orange chicken?

( she's offended on wanda's behalf if she did, because orange chicken is dope. it might not be True and Authentic cuisine from the heart of chinatown, but who is skye to judge when it tastes so goddamn good? )

The party was shut the hell down, too, so.

( a small shrug. her arms are bandaged up now, thanks to the good doc, but there's still a decent amount of pain if she over-extends herself. which is why, currently, she'll have to make do with gesturing weakly towards the bag of ridiculously good smelling take out. )

I'll trade you the beers in my fridge for this delivery. You don't even have to spoon feed me.

[seeingscarlet]

It sounded like you might have hit your head.

[She grins, almost done with the ice packs. The kitchen towels will have to do as insulation because there doesn't appear to be anything else.]

I brought the painkillers too, but I think you should eat a little first.

[evite]

( if it didn't come standard in this starter apartment, skye likely doesn't own it. everything is as bland and boring as it comes, because she's not sure how long she'll be here, so what's the point of spending money she doesn't have to get things she may not need? )

Do I really have to? ( yes, skye, you do. you can't just zonk out on painkillers right away. you should line your stomach so you don't hurl up your guts on the ground. ) Ugh, okay, you're probably right. Puking does not sound like a fun way to end today...

( as for the ice packs: ) Let me know if you need a hand with that, by the way. Or, like, a well-used elbow.
