[ Once Katsura has finally been wrangled to one of the support stations by a lovely, blood-sucking young lady, he's told that he should call someone he'd like to keep him company while they wait for the missing ingredients, and, well. ]
[ If they don't make it in time and he tragically dies, who else would he entrust the Jouishishi to? ]
[ Now that he's no longer freezing cold, Gintoki's been enjoying the fact that he can fully relax again. He's been lazing around all day, and is about to fall asleep when his phone rings, jerking him out of it with a start.
He fumbles for the phone for a second and finally manages to get it. Maybe, if he had the time to look at who was calling, he would have first hung up just to be a little shit about it. But he's tired, so he only peeks enough to remember how to even answer this stupid thing, then closes his eyes again as he brings it to his ear. ]
Greetings, Gintoki. I'm afraid I'm in a little bit of a pickle and could use your assistance.
[ the unfortunate part is that this could apply to anything from him running out of shampoo or getting his hand stuck in a vending machine to him bleeding out on the roadside somewhere in the middle of nowhere while hunted by aliens for sport ]
Um, well. It seems that I may have caught something.
[ that just sounds like an std doesn't it ]
They're saying I could die, so please come see me at this address as soon as possible.
[ definitely an appropriate amount of dramatic for the situation at hand ]
[ he does at least attach some boogle-maps coordinates that will lead him to a frozen heart disease support station near Sunwaning, assuming he dares follow it ]
That's the one, yes. I thought it was a change of weather making me feel chilly.
[ The optimism has downsides sometimes, it seems... ]
[ okay there's no easy way to admit this but the sad fact is that he's apparently no longer immune to colds, and the sooner Gintoki knows the better. probably. ]
...I may have frozen my food over by sneezing.
[ Totally just a theory! Might have been something else! ]

What sorta pickle? I'm about ready to take a nap, you know.

[ His eyes snap open, and Koro's warning rings in his ears. Once you're affected, you slowly and painfully freeze from the inside.
And he sits up in an instant, only pausing because his head protests the change in blood pressure. ]
That cold that makes you literally cold? You coughing ice yet?

Guess I have no choice ... Come, Sadaharu, we're talking a walk!
[ Sadaharu barks and immediately bounds over to the door. ]
I'm on my way.
done-
[ He will be, in fact, willing to buy a sweet for him when this is over. ]
