*Opens the door and steps aside to let the other two through first*

**Captain Burgundy** Sun Sep 23, 2012 9:59 pm

*waits until she's on her bed and then closes her eyes* Can I sleep?

I think Captain Madder better take a look at you first... *quietly* Do you want me to call Cloudbase, Mads?

**Mads** Mon Sep 24, 2012 4:09 pm

{quietly to Blue} Yes please Neutral

I'll stay here while you make the call. {normal voice to Burgundy} For now I think you should stay awake, at least until I've examined you. {thinks} And heard from Cloudbase about what illness you have.

**Captain Burgundy** Mon Sep 24, 2012 4:17 pm

*nods* I don't feel that bad... just aching and tired. *rubs at her head* I thought I couldn't catch colds...

**Mads** Mon Sep 24, 2012 4:24 pm

Well, you might be able to, but they wouldn't last long. {thinks} I hope it's only a cold. I'd hate to think what else it could be...

**Captain Scarlet** Mon Sep 24, 2012 4:31 pm

*Blue shakes his head* As I keep telling Captain Scarlet, we don't know enough about your retrometabolism to jump to conclusions... Excuse me. *steps outside to call Cloudbase* Colonel, we need Doctor Fawn at the Scarlet Knight... It's Captain Burgundy... *explains the situation and then tells Captain Madder that the call's been made and that the doctor is on his way* I'll get Captain Burgundy some water. *goes back down to the bar*

Adam! *slips off the bar* How is Captain Burgundy?

She thinks she's got a cold...

Rubbish! The only way that she could catch a cold is by completely exhausting herself - and even then... well, it would be quite an achievement, for want of a better word...

**Captain Burgundy** Mon Sep 24, 2012 4:40 pm

That's one way of putting it, I guess... Neutral

I've called Cloudbase and Doctor Fawn's on his way. Can we have some water for the patient? We'd better keep her hydrated.

**Captain Scarlet** Mon Sep 24, 2012 4:43 pm

Certainly. I'll get you a jugful. Is there anything else? I'm sure Captain Ruddy's got some tablets, if you want to... Smile

No! Mads'll have some on her, won't she?

**Captain Burgundy** Mon Sep 24, 2012 4:49 pm

I expect so - she's got pretty much everything else. *takes the water with a grateful smile and goes back upstairs* Here's the water, Mads. How's the patient?

**Captain Scarlet** Mon Sep 24, 2012 4:53 pm

*shakes his head* It's so quiet... *sits back up on the bar and takes a look at the tabs* I'm sure I haven't spent that much! Almost £50 on crisps? That can't be right!

**Captain Lime** Mon Sep 24, 2012 5:03 pm

Really? Well, I thought you've been eating a lot recently... oh well, now you've told everyone, too! Halo

By the way, could I have a packet of the Prawn Cocktail flavour, please?

**Captain Scarlet** Mon Sep 24, 2012 5:18 pm

Yes, of course you can. Are you paying for them, or shall I put them on your tab? *hands over the crisps* I prefer salt and vinegar, myself - or steak and onion. *eyes the tab again, wondering if anyone will notice if he modifies his when he adds the crisps to Lime's*

**Captain Lime** Mon Sep 24, 2012 5:39 pm

I'll pay for them now, thank you. They don't cost that much. *Smiles as she hands over the change* Thank you, Captain. *Opens the packet and takes one*

**Captain Scarlet** Mon Sep 24, 2012 5:43 pm

*screws up his nose* Enjoy them. *opens a packet of steak and onion crisps and sits back up on the bar* Mmm...

**Mads** Mon Sep 24, 2012 6:17 pm

She's the same and still trying to fall asleep. Burgundy? *no response* Burgundy? *gently shakes Burgundy's arm* Wake up.

**Captain Burgundy** Mon Sep 24, 2012 6:22 pm

*moans and shudders* Mads...? I... I don't feel well...

**Mads** Mon Sep 24, 2012 6:29 pm

*grabs the bin and holds it by the side of the bed*

**Captain Burgundy** Mon Sep 24, 2012 6:37 pm

*leans over the side of the bed*

Neutral

I'll give Doctor Fawn an update. *goes back outside*

**World President** Mon Sep 24, 2012 6:53 pm

*goes up to the bar very quietly* CAPTAIN SCARLET! *smirks slightly as Scarlet practically falls off the bar and comes to attention* You shouldn't sit on the bar like that - it isn't hygienic! I'm sure Captains Ruddy and Burgundy will have a thing or two to say about it... *looks around* Where are they? In the kitchen? *shakes his head, interrupting him as he starts to answer* No matter. *eyes the crisp packet in his hand* I hope you've paid for those...

**Captain Burgundy** Mon Sep 24, 2012 6:58 pm

*goes back inside Burgundy's room* Doctor Fawn'll be here, soon. *pours some water into a glass* Is she... all right?

**Mads** Mon Sep 24, 2012 7:08 pm

Do I look ok to you? *leans over the bin again*

He was only asking because he's concerned about you. We both are. {to Blue} There's not much we can do at the moment. If there's anything better for you to do then go ahead Smile

I'll keep watch.

**Captain Scarlet** Mon Sep 24, 2012 7:09 pm

Captain Ruddy is making up a new batch of soup and Captain Burgundy is... resting, Mr President. Uh... of course I've paid for these crisps - I'm not a thief! *shifts uncomfortably* Can I help you, Mr President?

**Captain Burgundy** Mon Sep 24, 2012 7:13 pm

Right, OK. If you need anything else... *taps his cap's microphone* Captain Burgundy... I hope you feel better soon.

Thanks... *straightens up carefully* Water?

**Captain Scarlet** Mon Sep 24, 2012 7:22 pm

*smiles at Captain Blue* Can I get you anything on the house, Adam? Halo

I'll have a black coffee, please. And I'll pay for it, Captain Scarlet.

Fine... Hmm

I'll put it on your tab. *chalks up his crisps as well*

**Mads** Mon Sep 24, 2012 7:25 pm

*hands Burgundy the glass of water* Bit at a time, ok? I'll empty and rinse the bin once you had a drink. Let's hope you won't need it while I'm doing that Wink

**Captain Burgundy** Mon Sep 24, 2012 7:28 pm

*rinses her mouth into the bin and then has a drink* Ugh... I hope so too. *turns to Mads, trying to keep calm* What's happening to me?

**Mads** Mon Sep 24, 2012 7:43 pm

I wish I knew Neutral

I'd love to know when your retrometabolism is going to kick in.... or if it needs a kick-start

**Captain Burgundy** Mon Sep 24, 2012 7:48 pm

I didn't think I'd been overdoing it... *has another sip of water* I don't remember feeling like this before, either... *sniffs and turns away to sneeze*
