TWENTY SIX | VOICE/SPAM

[imaythrowuponyou]

Now that we're back to our regularly scheduled programming, [Har har.] I'll be back in the infirmary in a while. For any new people, I'm Doctor Leonard McCoy. I'm the Chief Medical Officer on board the Starship Enterprise, and I'm head of the infirmary here.

[Private to Arya]

You doing alright?

[Private to Merlin]

Thanks for holding down the fort.

[Spam for Jim]

[Messages sent out, McCoy hesitated before sending another to Jim, because he really didn't know what to say to him. It had been a weird flood, and he wasn't exactly great at articulating stuff like thanks for bugging the hell out of me after I threw up on you in a shuttle because my life would really suck without you.

So, after going back and forth about it for a while longer, he got up and headed down to Jim's room, knocking on the door and waiting for his friend to answer the door.]

[Oh, McCoy knows. Meeting Cooper was weird.]

We're on the second floor. What medication are you taking?

Hold on.

[There's no way Chris will remember all the names off the top of his head so the view changes from him to his nightstand in his cabin as she swings the device around to face where a row of prescription pill bottles are lined up with handwritten stickers on them that say AM or PM on them, alongside the regular dosage info on the pharmacy label. One is for pain, another is seizures, a couple others are for depression and anxiety, and for good measure, a stimulant and muscle relaxer are thrown in.

At the rate Chris is going, he can start his own pharmacy right here.]

These.

[Well, McCoy's just raising an eyebrow, because that is a whole lot of meds. And while he can definitely make an educated guess about what they're all for, it's really just easier to ask.]

What're you taking them all for?

[workbackwards]

Brain damage. Car accident.

[His voice is completely and forcefully flat. He doesn't want to give any more details than he has to.]

[imaythrowuponyou]

Sorry. [There's not much you can really say to that beyond that, although he does mean it.]

We'll be able to get you refills. Let me know when you need 'em, and if you need anything else, don't hesitate to come on down. There's always someone around.

[Chris automatically shakes his head. No one's more sorry than him.]

Okay. [A huff of an ashamed laugh.] My mom usually does this for me.

[Why did he just say that? No one really needed to know Mommy still helped him with things. Or has her personal assistant do it, actually. Same difference.]

[Bones doesn't judge, especially because hey, you still kind of seem like a kid to him in the same way that anyone younger than him does, and he's like, mentally 65, so.]

What's your name, kid?
