[Yes, Neil looks a little worse for wear and yes, for those who don't like seeing someone so young puffing on a cigarette, he's smoking. He looks tired, but he's alive, dammit. Speaking of that, which we weren't but whatever--]

So, there's this friend of mine who saved my life by eating junk food. He doesn't seem to be here anymore, which is good and bad...

[He sighs and blows smoke out the side of his mouth.]

Okay, let's try that again.

Has anyone seen Chekov? About this high...

[Hand indicates height.]

Russian, can't say his double-u's, really, really smart...

[missrosetyler]

Are you alright, Neil?

[skintoskin]

Hey, Rose. I guess. Just... tired.

And a little worried about my friend.

[Because he has some friends here now...]

[missrosetyler]

M'sorry. Maybe you should try and nap. Have you eaten anything?

Don't think I've seen your friend around though. I can keep an eye out, if you'd like.

[skintoskin]

[He shrugs.]

Eh, I'm not sleeping well, but whatever.

I think I had breakfast...

And yeah, sure, that'd be great.

[missrosetyler]

You think? What'd you have?

I'll see what I can do.

[skintoskin]

Uh... cereal?

[Maybe.]

Thanks.

[missrosetyler]

Cereal's good.

Anytime.

[skintoskin]

Whadda you have for breakfast?

[missrosetyler]

I had buttered toast with marmalade and a cuppa.

[What is a week without some form of chaos, I ask you?]

[anunluckypenny]

I'm pretty sure I haven't seen him. Do you want me to check the Hall of the Missing or anything? Are you doing okay?

[skintoskin]

Thanks, Pens, that'd be good.

[He shrugs.]

I guess. Checkov is -- was my friend and I just...

Shit.

[anunluckypenny]

Alright...

It'll be okay, Neil. You're not alone.

[skintoskin]

Huh? Oh, yeah. I know that.

[Some bravado appears, briefly. He's eighteen, not eight. He should be cool with all this shit...]

[anunluckypenny]

[Age doesn't matter. It's hard to lose people.]

How're you feeling? Health-wise, I mean. I'm sorry I didn't check in on you when everyone was getting sick... I kind of disappeared.

[skintoskin]

[This is very true.]

I'm just tired and getting back into the habit of eating, which I couldn't do, so Chekov ate for me...

You... You were one of the people who faded?

[anunluckypenny]

You couldn't eat at all? Yikes. It'll take a while for you to recover completely.

I was, yeah. It was frightening.

[skintoskin]

It made me feel like throwing up, so, yeah...

Were you like a ghost?
