Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rachel left her duplex late the morning after her drinking indulgement, and boy did she regret having drank anything the day before. Sure she had wanted to not have to think about the things she'd had to deal with in the past week, but this wasn't the way she had envisioned getting her wish. All she could think about now was the throbbing pain in her head. She wondered how she had gotten this bad, thinking she hadn't had very much the evening before, but had actually had a considerable amount. Rachel's knowledge of alcohol also wasn't good enough to let her realize that drinking on an empty stomach makes things considerably worse.

She'd spent a considerable amount of time laying in bed, but ventured out after a while, realizing that she had to get rid of the pain and that she didn't have the slightest clue how to get rid of it. In hopes of finding someone who could help her, she braved the bright sunlight and made her way into the village. Keeping her eyes closed as much as possible, she headed towards the main village buildings, and didn't see anyone around. Hearing noise coming from the entertainment room, Rachel wandered in that direction, hoping that whoever was in there could help her and that whoever it was, wasn't she he/she she'd run into before.

Rachel stumbled into the room, her attention not entirely on where she was going. She glanced at the single occupant for a few seconds before shutting her eyes and letting out a pained groan. The florecent lights in here were almost as bad as the sunlight outside.

"I don't suppose you know how to cure a hangover, do you?" Rachel muttered, holding a hand to her head.

"Thank god...I didn't think I'd ever find someone...but, a blender?" she asked, squinting one eye open at him. With the volume turned down, she was able to handle the light better and get to look at Sid properly. Those teeth?! What was he turning into? Rachel regretted thinking about it, as it aggravated things, and shut her eye again.

"Would the cafeteria have one?" Rachel asked, in a somewhat impatient tone, not really paying attention to how she was speaking. All she knew is she was desperate to get rid of the horrible pain in her head.

"I'll take anything that'll help even a little. It ******** hurts!" she said leaning against the wall, rubbing her temples. Rachel didn't swear that often, so it was her way of showing how much the hangover was bothering her. She wasn't thinking clearly enough to realize that Sid wouldn't know enough about her for it to matter.

"No...no party...just me being stupid...." She said the last part under her breath, more to herself than to Sid.

At the mention of eating something, Rachel's stomach twisted. It sounded even more unappitizing than usual, but if that's what she had to do, then she would. "Rachel....and thank you. I really appriciate this," she said, relief evident in her voice. "And you are?"

Rachel nodded slightly at him, in acknowledgement, before watching him walk out the door. When he was gone, she moved over to the couch and sat on the opposite end from where he had been sitting, and craddeled her head in her hands.

Rachel berated herself. "Why did I have to be so stupid?"

Rachel looked up from her hunched over position when Sid came back in, and she gave him a weary smile before noticing what was in his hands. She raised a skeptical eyebrow, before looking at him again. "That's a hangover cure?"

Rachel gave him another incredulous look, before taking the strange drink from his hands and rasing it to eye level so she could look at it better. It looked revolting and the smell made her stomach churn again.

"If you say so...." she said uncertainly. "Do you have that asprin so I can use this stuff to wash it down with?"
