In light of what so many of us have been through lately. This weeks prompt is: Illness

[unrecoverable text]

KT: I can see why she'd be insecure, but trying to trap him with a kid ... not the basis for a happy future!

We don't know that she's trying to trap him. Maybe she just wants a child. She may not have any demands on him outside of that. It's clear that she knows she can't expect more from him.

That was my impression...I was thinking that she is longing for a child...

A bit of silliness... //"Princess, do you think Jason has any strange illness?" Princess looked at Keyop. The young boy's eyes were opened wide. She got worried. "Why? What's he doing?" "Well, he's moaning in his room and Mark walked by and I heard him say to Jason that he's gone fifty shades of gray. Is that a dangerous symptom?"//

LOL, DT, I can imagine Jason being curious about it, I can't see him reading the book, but he might watch the film in the privacy of his own quarters though.

KT -- maybe it wasn't Jason moaning, that Keyop heard... ETA: As soon as I read what I had written, it occured to me that it may be misunderstood: I don't mean he had someone with him -- I mean maybe he got a bootleg copy.

DT: LOL

...or maybe Jason's moaning in agony over how bad the movie is! (Going by some of the reviews I've read...)

Here's what I thought of for this one...a swallow with an illness is pretty stubborn!

Yeah, I can see that...especially if Jun made the soup!

The pounding of two sets of boots echoed off the buildings lining the grubby alleyway. One set of boots was propelled by panic while the other was a determined rage. This scenario had occurred many times before but not in this kind of location. Zigging, zagging, hopping over upended trash cans, this chase showed no signs of ending. But then one participant vanished. Ken backtracked, the pulse in his head matched the tempo set by the chase. "Come on, you bastard." he growled as he quickly scanned the area. He noticed a door hanging onto its frame by just one battered hinge. Ken eased himself just inside the doorway. The place reeked of human filth and illness. The only light battled its way through glass that had turned brown. Husks of what were once people were scattered about on the floor. Many of them stretched out or curled up on piles of rags. A few managed to lift their heads to regard Ken through an unseen fog or with suspicion. Ken wrinkled his nose in disgust, though it was hard to say if it was from the scene this druggie flop house presented or if it was because there was no sign of Katse. He turned and stormed out into the alley, slapping the doorway as he went.

Nice scene, EW! I'm surprised Ken didn't investigate further...Katse may have been in disguise on the floor with the druggies ( of course, it would have to be a very quick change)...

EW, that reminds he of the episode where Ken went chasing after Katse in that deserted city, but Katse was a woman with a creepy baby that was a doll... DT, I can see Jason acting out 50 Shades of Grey! Springie, love the pic! It reminds me of the Dave the Hippie episode where Jun is nice to Jinpei after he crashes his car...

It is totally like "Dave, the Hippee!" I thought of that, too...maybe Jinpei would prefer spaghetti?

Springie, I think Jinpei wants to avoid Jun's cooking altogether...... EW, I think that scene could have come straight from an episode (minus the junkies of course)

EW: I get the feeling if Ken actually catches Katse, it's gonna get ugly

Thanks, gang! I didn't have a specific ep in mind, but I wanted to use some of the anger and frustration Ken started expressing after so many close calls and near-misses.
