[Day 2 - Late night - closed to the science threesome]

[driftsintobuffetline]

[Qubit looks worse than he imagined for the usually rather ...together genius; he's pretty sure he's never seen the man look this disheveled, not even during that first Swear-In. Newt throws one of Qubit's arms over his shoulder to steady him on his feet because he doesn't trust that gravity won't do its thing. It likes to screw with people, you know. Unfortunately, that puts him awfully close to the man's face and he cringes. ]

Wow, dude, no offense, but don't breathe on me. And yeah, very happy.

[Newt doesn't look great, but he's improved since yesterday. Both he and Hermann are still waking up at all hours from the occasional nerve twitches and, he's fairly certain they're nearly shocks for Hermann, but they've slept some, they're safe. Hermann's safe.

So he manages to put an obnoxious sing-song into his voice.] Hermy! We have a visitor!

[mathemagier]

What!?

[The exclamation sounds muted through a closed door, but the word echoes around the bathroom. Hermann hurriedly finishes dressing and flattens his damp hair in the mirror before emerging out into the main room.

Where a very sick or drunken Qubit is braced around Newton's shoulders. Hermann stares a moment, then edges closer with increasing concern.]

Qubit? My word, what's happened to you? Are you injured? Do you need us to call anyone?

[superposition]

Newt, don't-

[Whatever pithy remark he was going to make here is lost, though, because no sooner has he got his arm around Newt's shoulder than he doubles over dry-heaving, leaning on him heavily for support. Fortunately, his stomach's been empty for hours, but still. He has to catch his breath for a second before he can really answer.]

I'm... I'm not hurt. No. Just... let me sit down.

[ Sadly, as of late Newt's had way too much practice trying to shuffle another grown man to a place to sit, so with only the expected difficulty (why is everyone taller than him?) he eases himself and Qubit in the direction of the nearest bed and finally lowers Qubit to the mattress. A two-bed hotel room was what had been immediately available when they checked in; at the time, the convenience of just having a room was worth the extra expense. He didn't actually expect to use it. ]

Hermann. Less gawking, more action. At least get the man a glass of water. [And, as he places a small trashcan closer to Qubit:] How many portals did you open to earn this?

[superposition]

[A chair would have done, you know. But whatever, he doesn't care. He rests his face in his hands, but only until he needs to shoot Newt a confused, incredulous look.]

What are you talking about? I don't get teleport sickness. [He sounds almost offended. The very idea.]
