[Video] Tuesday Morning

[tookthename]

[This was suppose to be private to Lin and Coulson, but Carol isn't feeling her best at the moment so she didn't exactly filter it correctly.

Saying she looks like shit is putting it lightly. This was suppose to be over. She thought she was in the clear, but yesterday it happened again. She woke up, took a sip of coffee and spat it back out, the burning of the whiskey still hot in her mouth. She almost broke, but she promised herself that she wouldn't, she promised her friends she wouldn't. And even though they weren't here now she planned on keeping that promise.

But it hasn't been this hard since she started recovering, and she's not sure how much longer she can last.]

Hey, I know this is last minute but...[She rakes a hand through her hair] I'm not going to be in today or...tomorrow probably. I'm...I'm sorry.

[And she's not apologizing for the alcohol, because she hasn't drank anything, and she isn't going to drink anything, but she's just so thirsty.

She picks up a glass of water; her face contorts when the clear liquid turns amber in her grip.

She curses loud and throws the glass across the room as the feed goes black.]

[Sheska's just relieved that Carol's ok!]

Oh, thank goodness. I'm not sure what's going on, but, um, would you like me to bring you something? With luck, maybe we can keep it from turning long enough to get you some liquid. It can't be healthy to go for days without drinking anything. Have you had anything to eat today?

[Quick! Everything is fixable with the proper application of food, right?]

[Audio]

[tookthename]

I've eaten some canned stuff, but I haven't had anything to drink since I woke up.

That...that would be really nice. [While she didn't want to go outside, being alone with all this alcohol was also a bad idea]

[There's a brief pause while she considers the implications of not a thing to drink in a morning.]

...Maybe you'd like some lunch, too? I'd be more than happy to come share my break with you!

[Audio]

[tookthename]

If you have the time. I know how busy things can get around the station, especially with what's going on.

[Audio]

[librariansheart]

Oh, it's no problem, really! Miss Kaylee isn't at the station right now, so I need to go get lunch anyway. It isn't out of my way. Do you like hamburgers? I would think that those would be hard to mess up. And maybe we can experiment with fresh fruit and vegetables! Er... not on the burgers. As an accompaniment.

[Carol chuckles]

That sounds great.

[Audio]

[librariansheart]

Then I'll be over around 12:30! If you need something before then, just let me know, and I'll get it taken care of.

[tookthename]

I will, thanks again, Sheska.
