[Dear Jigoku, guess what you get today.

A shrill, piercing, loud enough to wake the dead in twenty different levels of Hell scream as Mika practically leaps out of her skin.]

GET THEM OFF ME!

[The screaming will continue until the flea situation improves. Mika does not want the flea bath or the alternative

[Good morning to you too, Mika. Have a Puck looking and sounding slightly put out about being awakened in this manner.]

Glad I did not need that ear.

[Heavy sigh as he gives up on clearing his hearing.]

And just where are you, my dear?

[Forgive her Puck, the apartments like keeping her as miserable as possible. Forgetting about her phone completely, she strips off her shirt and throws it across the room. Red marks have broken out across her skin and she seems to be doing her best not to touch them.]

Sorry, I just-- [She's trying not to tear out her hair, even wearing just her bra is uncomfortable as the welts spread.]

In my apartment with Deuce.

[Well that woke him up a little. He blinks at the screen, half expecting to find a swarm of bees to match those welts. When it doesn't happen, he rolls to a sitting position and switches the video to audio.]

Give me a moment twice to see
What aid I have, then there I'll be.
If you can brave the kitchen floor
Baking soda will help the more.

[Some shuffling before the audio switches off as well. In another minute there is someone knocking at Mika's door.]

Baking soda? [Her ears twitch toward the phone as she looks surprised, then goes to rummage in her kitchen. When Puck arrives, she's changed out of her jeans and into shorts, while wearing a tank top to avoid irritating her skin even more. Her ears and tail droop as she opens the door, looking sheepish.]

Sorry about waking everyone up.

--Tch, the hell is wrong with you?

[People are good at waking him up over the network, it seems.]

[notlikethemovie]

[Mika has torn off her shirt to get away from the nasty little beasts, showing welts peppering her shoulders and upper arms that have spread up to her cheeks. The tiny speckling hives are going to get much bigger over the course of the next few hours as her allergies kick into high gear.]

What does it look like, Shiki?

[Someone is allergic to fleas, and she has a lot of them.]

[p3rfect_kill3r]

---!!

Is there anything I can do? You look like you need anti-histamine or something.

[Whoa...just..whoa..he hasn't seen anything like that in a helluvah long time.]

[notlikethemovie]

[She wants to scream again, the shoulder straps on her bra are digging in painfully and she wants to start gnawing on everything within reach.]

I need to get rid of the fleas otherwise it won't matter how much I drug myself.

[moarcrusadesplx]

Stop complaining so much.

[notlikethemovie]

I am not listening to you!

[moarcrusadesplx]

It's not that bad. They're keeping you from getting sick!

[video]

[notlikethemovie]

Lies and blasphemy! [Shouts the girl who looks like she's close to erupting in boils.]

[werallsatisfied]

C'mon now, Tough Cookie-- deep breath.

[notlikethemovie]

But Dante~! [She keens, having lost her shirt in a breakdown fit, her skin breaking out in welts as she reacts to the flea bites. The redness seems to have spread across most of her bare skin, and some claw marks are visible where she started scratching before she realized what she was doing. Mika is a bundle of itching pain at the moment.]

I have fleas now! I've never had fleas!

[werallsatisfied]

[Excuse his horrible attempt to cheer her up, then.]

Could always go the flea dip route!

[notlikethemovie]

[This face. This is the face of the puppy that you just kicked. The noise she makes is suspiciously close to a wibble.]

[justahost]

Please do not scream.

[notlikethemovie]

[The video feed snaps on to Mika in a tank top with several welts where the fleabites were. The redness has not eased up much.]

I admit my reaction was excessive, but you know what I was saying about my reactions to spiders? This is what happens.

[justahost]

[Shino scowls, softly.]

If you will allow, I will attempt to take care of the problem. And I believe I will have a way to sooth the bites as well.

[notlikethemovie]

Feel free, I'd rather do just about anything to end up in a flea collar or having a date with an electric razor.
