[visual / location: don's apartment] (way backdated)

[verylittlesugar]

It's been a couple days since the attack and her phone call to Don, and Mattie's feeling better physically, but still a little wrung out emotionally. Mostly that manifests in being very quiet and trying convince Don to let her cook meals for him, and a noticeable absence of tiny sternfaces. There's a lot on her mind, however, and one or two questions in particular keep coming up.

So she turns to her tablet, and the Taxon community, for answers. She's curled up against the headboard of Don's bed, wrapped in her father's coat over her nightgown, with a small white gauze bandage on her neck.

"What happens when a vampire bites you? And how are you to tell if you are seeing one?"


[Location for Don, visual or voice as you like for everyone else. Let's say this is backdated to around May 9 so Mattie hasn't been languishing all this time.

ETA: Don may be hovering around and keeping an eye on conversations, expect possible threadjacking. ;)]

You aren't gonna change my mind by asking questions like that.

Thought: instead of harassing me, you could get her some Gatorade.

[That's nearly the end of the transmission--it's only awareness of his profound ignorance that stays Don's hand.]

What?

[voice]

[allthefunever.livejournal.com]

Gatorade. Get her some.

[voice]

[selfmadman]

Never heard of it.

[voice]

[allthefunever.livejournal.com]

...Let me guess. From the past?

[voice]

[selfmadman]

[A little too sharply.]

Excuse me?

[voice]

[allthefunever.livejournal.com]

Not 2010. Before Gatorade was invented, take your pick.

[voice]

[selfmadman]

Why don't you tell me what it does.

[voice]

[allthefunever.livejournal.com]

...It's a sports drink.

[ in tones of the DEEPEST 'duh'. ]

[voice]

[selfmadman]

Oh. [Don sounds so profoundly uninterested Damon should consider that syllable a gift. Mattie's been drinking juice--standard procedure after blood donation. What's a sports drink going to do that juice can't?]

[dryly] Anything else?

[ TURN HER INTO A SUPERPOWERED SPORTS DEMIGOD if you believe the commercials. ]

Don't invite people in, keep a cross around, blah blah blah.
