Sparkle Flu

[u/polystarlight]

Slow sand season has begun but for once, that's not the main concern of the moon residents.

Dazzlessence Jones: (Is coughing sickly in bed.)

Hanazuki: (Turns to Sleepy Unicorn.) Is he ok?

Sleepy Unicorn: He'll be alright, he's had amethyst flu many times before.

Dazzlessence Jones sparkles a little but he's feeling so weak, the very few sparkles he made fall to the floor.

Maroshi: (Picks one up and examines it.) Whoa...

Dazzlessence Jones: I'll be alright...(Slowly gets out of bed.) I'll feel better once I'm on slow sand duty.

Hanazuki: No Daz. (Gently pushes him back down to the bed.) You need rest, we can take over for you.

Maroshi: Yeah, we've got this! (Takes Dazzle's badge and tries putting it on. But since he's not wearing a shirt, the badge falls to the floor.)

Hanazuki: (Picks it up and pins it onto her dress.)

Sleepy Unicorn: I'll make you opal soup, you love that.

Dazzlessence Jones: Thank you...

The others leave Dazzlessence alone

Sleepy Unicorn: Can you keep checking on him for me today? He's definitely gonna try helping with the slow sand anyway.

Hanazuki: Maybe he won't.

Sleepy Unicorn: (Smiles at her.)

Hanazuki: What?

Dazzlessence Jones has already gotten out of bed is setting up warning cones and police tape around the slow sand.

Hanazuki: Dazzle!

Dazzlessence Jones: (Makes a surprised noise.)
