III. (open-ish) i said i've been through a lot of noise

featuring: hotdog & his (close) cr
what's happening? frank is suffering from vaccine side-effects and has been ordered to go to the clinic to take care of it; meanttime max has arrived! and just undergone debarking surgery.
day: march 1 (night) & march 2 all day
content warnings: sick man, sick dog, the whine (not)heard round the world.
notes: if it's feasible that frank or micro would have told your character where he is, then feel free to show up. or if you are sick maybe you are unlucky enough to encounter this jerkbutt. hit me up if you want something specific!

march 1

[ after frank gifted jessica a lovely murder basket, she suspects he isn't feeling himself (joke's on her tbh.) since only just injecting him with the experimental drug that would (with any luck at all) make him immune to kilgrave's powers, she assumes frank's weird behavior is a side effect and sends him to the clinic to get checked out. after akira puts him on bedrest, he's open to visitors, and of course the first person he wants to see isn't a person at all. he texts hawkeye and micro furiously: ] bring me my fucking dog, you assholes.

[ okay, so he might be a little testy. once a sleepy max just out of surgery is brought to the clinic, too, the dog will lay at the foot of his bed, alternating between lazily guarding and even lazier dozing. frank hates being stationary. he hates feeling useless. the aches and pains are taking a toll on him, but not as much as the rising tide of frustration and irritability. even if he's usually not a chill guy by a landslide, today he's especially twitchy. he'll likely be up long into the night fantasizing different and creative ways to make kilgrave hurt. oh, hi kids. didn't see you there. ]

march 2

[ frank hasn't slept much. between the fever and refusing to take anything stronger than aspirin, he's sweating and out of it, an angry red rash climbing steadily up the back of his neck to peek out of his black jumpsuit collar. the blankets are on his feet, but he keeps kicking them off. he hates being sick, and he knows he's a terrible patient besides. maria always used to scold him for acting like a child; or worse than their actual children since they took being sick like a champ, just happy for the day away from school. he could endure torture and pain aplenty, max the dog had witnessed both first-hand. he lived in bunkers buried in the sand and traveled to countries that were just holes in the ground, but a little fever and nausea and he's ready to die. every time a cold shiver wracks his spine, he wishes for it even; picturing the bullet in his skull. the doctors telling him a shift in millimeter increment would have killed him. should have, even the way it is.

max is on the floor now, his big block head peeking out from underneath the cot. he watches the door, alerting frank to any new arrival with a tiny growl before shutting his eyes again. the noise little more than a rattly rumble from the dog's barrel chest. the message is clear: you take this one, dad. i'll get the next. ]

[ Let it be known that Mike has never, ever done this with his father. ]

He's got the same name as the person you let join our club >:(

[ He's making the same face he just typed as well. It's hard to be mad at Frank when he's sick though so he's more on the sulky side than he is angry. ]

She's from my world.

Two of my friends practically worship her just because she got the high score of a video game. She ruined halloween which was always just the four of us. Even her and Will hang out here now which means less time with Will because I don't want to be in the same room as her and Will was MY friend first. And if she thinks she can take El's place in the party she's WRONG.


[ Wow, some of these feelings he had no idea he had until he just spilled them out to Frank just now...

Only until he reads his last message back to himself does he realize how... jealous he sounds. And kind of a brat, if he's honest, which makes him mad at himself. ]


I don't hate her, okay? I gave her a stupid blanket the other day so she wouldn't get cold. [ Admittedly he dumped it on her head but still. ] What more does she want??? [ Friendship, Michael. ]

Seems a lot like the universe wants it to happen because El disappeared back home and then Max showed up. And now El's gone here and Max showed up. AGAIN. Don't you think that's a weird coincidence??

[ That's all it is, Mike, a weird coincidence. ]

We don't even have anything in common. [ Lies. ]

[ Mike just blinks at Frank for a moment. ]

Okay we have ONE thing in common. Doesn't mean anything.

[ Not! Funny!! Frank!! This is serious kid business!!!!

Good save there by saying 'almost'. ]
I don't want you to kick her out. If you kick her out she'll probably get upset and tell Will and then Will will get upset and I don't like it when Will's upset.

[ Mike just... pouts. Pouts and tries to get the cool Max to come closer so he can stroke him without moving from Frank's side. ]

[ Mike thinks he got the dog to come over all on his own and smiles as he pets his head. ]

Just get better. That's all I want you to do right now.

[ After a moment: ]

And rename your dog. [ But he has a feeling he's not going to win on that one. ] To Hotdog Jr.

[ Mike always wanted a dog... Why hasn't he ever had one again?

Oh yeah, because his parents suck. ]


Can I walk Max later?

[ Mike nods happily, then - ]

You look sleepy. You can go back to sleep if you want. I can guard with Max.

[ You walked right into this one, Frank... ]

You always look weird.

[ Obviously it's a joke, judging by Mike's grin. ]
