Who: Rose Tyler, Dr John Smith and the Doctor (tenth) Where: Florida What: Getting over Paradox sickness and panic attacks When: Backdated to the 18th Rating: TBD Open: Nope Status: Ongoing.
Over the last week, Florida had been.... not at all as fun as had been planned. Between the flurry of emotions and hurt feelings amongst the three of them and the paradox sickness the two timelords had been experiencing, it had actually been next to no fun.
The day after they had arrived, plans of the beach had been quashed when the Doctor's condition had worsened in the morning. His boy temperature had dropped even lower than was usual for a Timelord and finding him not breathing - even given his respiratory bypass system - and ice cold in the morning was still extremely worrying. It had taken some time to bring him around but his body wanted to shut down to avoid the sickness, while his mind cried out for telepathic help. Which hadn't helped John's head much. Eventually the Doctor improved with being away from the island and the paradox source. He was getting back to his energetic self and wasn't sleeping anymore. So Rose had told him to go and get some groceries as soon as the shops would have been open.
That left John and Rose still sleeping. John had been getting progressively sicker but hadn't mentioned it. Unlike the Doctor, his body wouldn't go into a healing coma because his body temperature was that of a human's now. Timelords could get fevers but because the sickness has stemmed from his time-sense, the Doctor's body had shut down to protect itself instead. John's didn't and instead his developed a high temperature. His sleep grew restless, sweat caused his hair to became plastered to his head as he slept.
Then he woke up, harsh breaths leaving him and brown eyes opening wide in panic.
