Hello there! Its theembarrassedwriter, hoping to see you all well in these trying times. Now that I'm done with my unimportant nonsense, I hope you enjoy the part!

Warning: this chapter contains scenes of sickness. Weak stomachs might not enjoy.
You wake up from your morning nap and sit up, stretching whatever to get a bit more woken up as you rub your eyes, feeling the warmth of your head on your hands
(Richard)"my head feels warm. Warmer than usual"
You mumble out loud while standing up, only to feel a rush of nausea as you fall back and your vision swirls, the world seemingly coming at you all at once, every sense overloaded as you lay back down, hoping the room will stop.
You wake back up 3 hours later at 3 pm, the blanket beneath you soaked in sweat. You stand slower and start towards the bathroom, keeping your pace even and slow before reaching the bathroom and grabbing a thermometer.
You place it under your tongue and wait for the beep.
After about 10 seconds, the beep happens and you check the temperature.
(Richard)"'101.3 F. Thats not good"'
You think to yourself as you debate what to do
(Richard)"well I could go to work, just tell mairusu I cant come in because I'm sick, or just go back to sleep and think about it later. Guess I should sleep on it"
You say to yourself before making your way back to the couch like before, and then laying down.
(Richard)"'I remember hearing that laying on the left side with an upset stomach does help a little'"
You think to yourself as you turn over, grabbing a trash can just in case, and cracking a wibdow for fresh air. You smell the fresh breeze of early fall, the sharp cold air tickling the back of your throat, the sound of leaves blowing on the wind, and thoughts of apples all making you drift off to sleep.
You wake up to the sound of Hunter returning from somewhere, him annoyed, probably at someone on the road because you heard something about driving. You check the clock and see that its now 7:23 pm.
You sit up to stretch and feel your stomach churn as you do, upset with you for whatever reason.
(Richard)"hey I dont know what happened but please be quiet I need rest."
You say to him weakly as he nods and continues with preparing food, just quietly as you close your eyes and go to sleep again.
You wake up to see a bottle of antacid tablets and your phone displaying the time as 11 pm.
You pop an antacid and grab your stuff, including an emergency trash can, before heading out to the car and starting it up.
You sit for a moment inside the car, thinking if going is actually worth it while running this high of a fever
(Richard)"I could call in sick, but I cant lose this job. Pays too good"
You say to yourself before putting the car in reverse, backing out, and driving towards your probable death at the hands of busty humanoid robots.
You arrive to the convention, sadly not healed in the time it took to drive from home to there.
You park the car and stumble out before holding onto the side and gaining your bearings before locking up and walking to the door, seeing a note on the door
(Mairusu)'hey there! Couldnt make it tonight, extra work for you. Try and check on some electrical issue in the show stage lights, one was flickering today'
