Talking Turkey... (OPEN)

[Neil looks... tired. No, maybe he's just thinking really hard.

Nah...

Uh, come to think of it, he looks like he's in a stupor, actually. Is he experiencing a hangover from indulging in too much alcohol? Has he been smoking something other than cigarettes? Experimenting with mushrooms, maybe? Hopped up on goofballs?

No, it's something less sinister.

He suffers the malady of the season.

Neil McCormick... has been turkied.]

I think... I think...

I ate... too much...

You need a nice long nap and some Pepto.

[ Lucy can't help but smile at him. ]

Might be slipping into a coma...

[He isn't, but, you know...]

Should I come sit with you in order to keep you awake?

[ She suspects as much.]

Is there a way to do that without, like, dunking me in cold water?

Have you had copious amounts of coffee yet?

Just a cup. I ran out...

I'll bring a triple shot white mocha over for you. The sugar plus the caffiene will help.

Oh, wow, that sounds... like heavy shit...

Very heavy. To be taken very seriously. [ Her voice is mock-grave.]

[He appreciates the offer and that she's trying to keep it light.]

It won't make me puke, will it?

I...don't think so? [ She's never heard of anyone puking from a white chocolate mocha anyway. ]

Okay, I'll try it, but if I puke, I'm sorry in advance...

No apologies necessary. I'll bring a bucket too.

What did you have?

Uh...

Not much...

Some turkey, potatoes, sausage stuffing...

Uh, yams, I think that's what they were...

Carrots, corn, rolls... more turkey...

Blimey that is a lot! Were you starving for days before that?

No. I'm a teenager. I eat everything.

Oh dear. You really don't sound too good there. What was on the menu?

Everything... and I ate it all... I think...

Oh I see. Well, a week's long nap will take care of that. At least I've usually found that to be the case.

Can you really sleep for that long?

I can, yes. Time sometimes seems to simply zoom for me.

Okay, maybe I meant 'you' as people in general. I don't think I could sleep for a week.

Edited 2013-12-01 02:26 (UTC)

No, perhaps not. But a good eight to ten hours should suffice for you.

Won't I wake up feeling sick or something?

One thing's for certain, you won't wake up feeling stuffed anymore.

Well, no, I guess not, unless I can't get to sleep because I feel like shit...
