[ Text | Laptop ] 9th April

[ In the beginning, it was only headache, dull but annoying. It wasn't anything serious so he paid it no heed except popping a Tylenol or two when it became unbearable. He's more concerned about the voice he heard before the headache hit. It's always the same voice, someone asking for help. It started after his Gundam was remotely turned on not too long after the giant snake's defeat. He had ignore it completely the first few times, because the voice had inconveniently spoken up when he was busy tinkering with the Gundams. But as days passed, the pleas became more often, and the dull headache evolved steadily into migraine.

Perhaps it would have been wiser to tell someone but how on earth does he explain hearing voices in his head? It hasn't occur to him that it might be the result of a pulse as he had missed the familiar pull of a pulse when the headache first hit. So instead, he's taken to keeping quiet, reasoning with himself that he's overworked and the voice is nothing but a byproduct of his tired brain. Which is why, after days of prolonged pain and restless sleep, he's asking for help... ]


I'll cut straight to the point.

I need help procuring medicine for migraine. I'll be upfront, I don't have the money for it and Tylenol is no longer helping. If you want something in return, I'm willing to discuss with you.

What I'm really trying to get at here is the strength of your headache, and whether it's a fight you want to bring a knife or a gun to.

So you wouldn't say no to Vicodin.

Thanks. Usually I'm the one to ask for names, it's nice not to have to make the first move for once.

On the network, it's just "L." I give my real name out only when I can talk to someone in person.

I'd be happier if everyone adopted a similar policy. It's ultimately a lot safer; personally, I'm just happy if I have something to refer to a person by other than their number.

It's not an unusual reaction to frightening or stressful situation. It's actually very natural for people to look to others whose situations are similar, especially if they appear to be succeeding. Part of that herd mentality...
