The first thing Doc sees when he opens his eyes is the top of Bar smashed up against his face.

Ow, that hurts.

The second thing Doc sees when he opens his eyes is Will, slumped over next to him, his face also smashed into Bar.

That really can't be comfortable.

Upon sitting up, Doc realizes that for one thing, his head really, really hurts. His mouth is dry and he feels like he fell off of a horse and rolled down a cliff, sore back and neck and everything's a little bit fuzzy.

There's a memory of singing and another brief hint of some poetry, and women's breasts...

"What the fargin' 'ell," he groans, before he reaches out a hand to poke the other outlaw. Maybe Will remembers something.

((Two pups, two muns, one post! It's a special. Both Doc and Will are here, and hung over, feel free to poke them as they look horribly miserable after having passed out and spent the night sleeping on Bar.))

"That requires two things," Doc explains, holding up three-then-two fingers. "Moving. And stairs."

Headshake.

None of that.

Will tries to nod but it hurts so from somewhere Barwards can be heard,

"Need water an the pain thingies, that'll 'elp."

"Painkillers," she supplies, and then she glances at the Bar.

"Painkillers. Y'know they use cocaine to put people to sleep in hospital?" Doc offers.

"Dinna know what cocaine is, will it make me 'ead stop 'urtin'? Only e'er 'ad those wee pill thingies, which 'elped kinda."

"It's a drug that makes you feel good. Currently illegal in my time."

Which is why her daddy makes a lot of money from it, yes.

"Puts people to sleep an' makes 'em numb, not supposed to use it, s'bad for you but people do anyways," he says, as he shrugs. Shrugging is less worse than nodding.

"Aye, so na cocaine."

Will tries nodding again, yup still hurts. Then asks,

"Lady Bar, could we 'ave those pill thingies for when yer 'ead 'urts."

A packet of aspirin type pills appear and some water.

"That, and I don't think Senora Bar would hand it out."

"No, she probably wouldn't." Doc agrees, and he eyes the pills put on the bar.

He'll stick with water.

The pills are aspirin type things, Will takes one with water and hands the packet to Doc,

"They're good, first 'ad 'em when I was in the cells an 'urtin', 'elps with the pain, Doc."

Well, she takes some of the pills. Medicine is there for a reason.

"It does. Once it kicks in. For a little bit."

Doc eyes them, then accepts one and takes it with water. Nothing instant, and he is a doctor, just the new medicine ideas are confusing to him.

A sigh.

"Okay," he says. "So just wait?"

"Aye, will 'elp, promise,"

Will tries another head nod and it doesn't hurt too much.

"However, it's a bit like boiling water."

Doc knows about boiling water. You've got to boil water to get bath water.

Well not in this place.

So he nods.

Ow, wait, bad idea.

There's a blank look from Will but he just nods carefully,

"Aye, takes a bit but 'elps."

"You just can't wait for it. Otherwise it'll never happen."

Doc arches an eyebrow curiously.

"Well it obviously ain't instant."

"Nay, an 'ad a bloody lot o'rum, need to make sure we get the pirate back."
