79. The Ghost that you can't shake

[handy_psychic]

[The ink is smudged in several places by what are obviously teardrops.]

Scavengers, I'm not gonna be down for a few days. I'm not feeling well. The sheet will be up near the elevator like usual.

If anybody needs to interview with me for a Scavenging job, I'd be happy to in a few days when I'm better.

[[OOC: Bridge will be holed up in his house for a while, bawwing about Ghost. He won't answer the door for pretty much anyone except Rabbit, Locket, Zero or Krile, but will be monitoring his journal.]]

You poor thing. What's got you down? You're messing up the journal pages.

[notices the responses to everyone but him]

Oh come now. Are you going to be like that? I express concern for you and just get ignored. And people say I'm rude.

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

I'm not feeling well. I thought that explained everything.

[kamishininoyari.livejournal.com]

My, my, someone seems in a bad mood. I got that much that you're not well. I was just wondering why. Perhaps I can help you feel better.

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

It's an illness. I'll be fine, thank you; I just need to rest. Don't want to get anybody else sick.

[kamishininoyari.livejournal.com]

Oh, well how considerate of you. Do get better soon. We can't have our Head Scavenger under the weather now can we? Need someone responsible down there to make sure no one gets gobbled up by something scary.

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Of course.

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

Ignore that guy up there.

You want me to bring over some soup?

[Subtle Krile is ttly subtle.]

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Please.

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

Okay. I'll be over in a jiffy.

[She'll bring him some tomato soup and a dry handkerchief if he needs one.]

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

See you in a bit.

[spandexisyouth]

I am sorry. Is there any way that I can help? I am no longer a Scavenger but if you are short I can pick up a shift or two.

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

I'll let you know. Thank you.

[spandexisyouth]

You are welcome.

[gene-driver.livejournal.com]

...Feel better, sir.

The Scavengers will be able to function until your health returns. [At least he hopes so]

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

I trust that you will.

Thanks.

[There are a few drops of ink here, and the beginning of a sentence that consists only of the word, I before it's hastily scribbled away.

After reading Ghost's good bye letter and feeling the need to patch things up with Bridge and help out Sky, there will be small miscellaneous care package on their doorstep tomorrow morning, consisting of mostly tea, hot cocoa mix and packaged goods.

A note will be attached reading:

Sky and Bridge,

Take care of yourselves.

-Stoneface

He will not have the heart to deliver it in person, however, because that would just be painful.]

I'd like an interview, if you please, once you're on the mend. I'm Serenity, one of the new arrivals.

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Sure, Serenity. I'm Bridge.

I'll let you know when I'm better.

[serene-sunshine.livejournal.com]

It's a pleasure, Bridge. Try some chicken soup. Does a body good even without much medicinal value.

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's definitely important to remember to eat. Thank you.

[burnt_orangesky]

Take all the time that you require to recover sufficiently, Bridge.

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Appreciate the kind words. Thank you.

[redhead-rabbit.livejournal.com]

Feelin' sick, Twin-chan?

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you could say that.

[redhead-rabbit.livejournal.com]

Need me to come over 'n fix ya up? I got fresh muffins ♥

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Muffins and company sound like the right idea.

Thanks, twin-chan.

[redhead-rabbit.livejournal.com]

The perfect cure!

Be right over ♥

[live_ringer]

Duly noted, boss.

Anything aside from the assignment sheet and the usual business that needs to be seen to?

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Just make sure everyone watches out for trash golems and doesn't hurt themselves, and we'll be good.

[live_ringer]

Will do. Here's hoping for a quick recovery.

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[longnosedliar.livejournal.com]

Feel better soon, Bridge. And let us know if we can help out, okay?

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

I will. Thank you, Sniper.
