[Hartley's sitting in his bed, wrapped in blankets, sweating and shivering at the same time. He looks pale, sickly and overall miserable.]
Hey...I just wanted to let anyone who was worried or wondered where I was...I'm alive again. I feel like crap, but if I understand how this place works correctly, I'll be fine. Despite...
[He decides not to finish that thought.]
And to anyone else who needed some sleep, I'm sorry. I really don't think I'll be able to help with that for a while.
Also, I don't know where it came from or who left it there, but whoever left the wine on my porch, thank you. I will definitely be making good use of this.
Now if everyone doesn't mind, I'm going to get drunk and fail to pass out.
[Private to Mick]
Got your message about my flute. Thanks for getting it for me. I'll come by to get it when I can. It might take a while, though, I'm not really up to much right now.

I'm sorry to hear that. It's been going around a lot this month.
[DYING.]
Try and drink some water if you've got any. It's like the worst flu you ever experience and you can't just power through it. Trust me, you can't. Getting drunk probably isn't the best option either, but you do you.
no subject
[Oh, that's probably too traumatic for a kid. Sure, he's probably seen the giant piles of corpses that sometimes appear now, but Hartley can still hope Varian missed that.]
I've got some. Don't want to go through it so quickly. Although I had a whole week where I wasn't going through my water reserves, so that helps, at least.
no subject
[Soory, Hartley, Varian's here to crush all your hopes.]
I guess that is one upside to dying. Have you got someone who can bring you supplies while you rest?
no subject
Good to know. I was out when the first round of corpse piles appeared, so I didn't even know that was a thing that was happening.
And yeah, I have a few friends who can bring me stuff.
no subject
I've been stuck inside. Not had much to do except try and monitor the changes going on.
[Being helpless is not sitting well with him, but there's nothing he can do about that.]
Good. That's good. You'll wanna rest up as much as you can.

I think I'll take your advice.
no subject
Pfft, yeah, try not to think about all the bodies and just get drunk. That one'll fade I think. Probably.
no subject
I definitely have plenty of alcohol here to do that. Actually, I think I have more alcohol than water here.
no subject
It's not half bad!
[Because of course this lame-brain was dumb enough to drink the shit when she'd been given enough water to survive on regardless.]

[Hartley, no.]
Do you need anything? Are you safe now?
no subject
And I am safe now. I'm home. I mean, I could use some chicken soup and juice, and more water would be nice, too, but I don't know what kind of supplies you have access to and I don't want you to put yourself in danger trying to get to me.
no subject
[That doesn't paint a pretty picture at all, and Rhys's heart sinks that Hartley had to go through that.]
I have a car now, which is a big help. And I can spare a few things, to help cover you until you're up and around again.
Maybe something to help with the death flu, too, or at least help you get some rest if you want.
no subject
And something to help with sleep would be amazing. Normally I could put myself to sleep with my flute, but...I don't have it right now. But it's fine. Mick found it.
no subject
I've heard that recovering from death here is pretty bad. Staying put and resting as much as you can is a good plan. I'll see what I Can get together to bring over, and see what I can do for you to get a little rest. Some of my powers aren't working right, but some of them are so hopefully I can help.

...I'm sorry. [People may come back here, but that doesn't prevent Gar from feeling guilty about anyone he couldn't save. Especially Hartley, who had been showing himself to be a truly decent guy in Gar's eyes.]
Do what you can to relax. I hope you can find some real rest... and I'm here if you need anything.

Well, if you ever need an extra hand for anything, or even just an extra ear, I'm here.

[ That's what you feed a sick person, right? Mick's not exactly a gourmet cook, but he can get some cans and heat them up. Maybe add some extra meat. ]
Or, uh, other stuff? What do you want?
no subject
And I don't know about other stuff. I guess if you can spare anything to drink or blankets that might be nice?
[He's already covered in a pile of blankets. He just wants more.]
no subject
[ He'll just gather up the warmest blanket he can find in the house and whatever snacks he sees that he'd want if he were sick.
By the time he gets to Hartley's place, his arms are full of soup cans, snacks and the blanket so he knocks by kicking the door with his boot. ]
no subject
Hey, come in.
[Once Mick's inside where it's safe, he looks at all the stuff.]
Thank you so much, you really brought a lot!
no subject
[ Denial is just the easiest way to not deal with things, he's found. He doesn't mind doing the stuff or whatever, but he doesn't want to fucking talk about it. ]
Get back in bed.
