─♣️─ Lackadaisy : Shut-Eye²

⸝⸝ tl;dr : continuing on the shnor mimimimi headcanons from this post ! features the savoys, mordecai heller, mitzi may, and the lackadaisy band as a bonus !

🍺 Nicodeme Savoy + Serafine Savoy

I feel like, after trudging around in the bayous and the swamps and sleeping wherever their exhausted bodies drop on for most of their childhood, the Savoys are extremely picky about their sleeping accomodations.

Think of satin sheets, smooth as cream and fine as silk; embroidered pillows bursting with cotton and feathers; blankets upon comforters upon quilts; mattresses so fluffy and soft you sink into it upon contact. The Savoys demand the best when it comes to their beds, and considering their reputation around Marigold, I doubt anyone is brave (or stupid) enough to contradict their wishes.

And it would be alright if they actually slept in it but like .. they just don't .. well, most of the time, anyways.

Their evenings are spent not in their castle-worthy beds but rather in the Marigold room, chatting and smoking and drinking until the chickens start to crow. And even when Marigold ushers its last guests out the door, a couple dozen liquor bottles and boxes of party food somehow finds it way up the Savoys' suite, where the distinct beats of drums and gossip thrums in the room long after the sun rises.

Honestly, I'm surprised they can manage to go on rumrunning duty after getting shitfaced drunk the night (and day) before 💀

And when they do get to sleep, Serafine in particular really likes the windows thrown open to catch the nighttime breeze. It reminds her of the gales that go through the bayou when she and Nicodeme were lost in there, and as much as she hated every other aspect of the bayou, the gales specifically gave her a bit of comfort during those times.

Nicodeme's a blanket hogger. That's it. That's the post.

ALSOO ,, their room in the mornings is just . Eugh .

Littered with cigarette butts, burned-through matches, half-drunk bottles of gin and whiskey and whatever they could smuggle out of the speakeasy; pillows everywhere, the mattress hanging by a thread on the bedframe, and the sheets all nestled around Nicodeme while he sleeps on his back with his hands clasped together like a princess and while Serafine is 0.5 inches away from falling off the bed.

I just want to address a personal apology to whoever cleans their room up when they're gone because I know damn well the Savoys aren't doing it 💀💀

🪓 Mordecai Heller

On nights when he's on "Asa's Shadow" duty, I'd say that Mordecai wouldn't really collapse on his bed from exhaustion the second after Marigold closes down and he's free from all the musical notes and murmurs and shrieks of laughter that he's been enduring all night.

If anything, I think he'd really take the time to unwind and calm down. He'd sit at his kitchen table and drink some tea, maybe cook up a couple of slices of French toast to fill his stomach as he never really eats anything that's served at Marigold -- he thinks too many people have touched it and it makes him feel all .. icky.

He'd also spend just a pinch of time cleaning the house; nothing too big, just rearranging some books in the shelves, sweeping the floors and wiping dust off the windowsills and tables.

Oh, and he'd read books before sleeping as well. Thick ones. Hardcover ones. He wouldn't read new books or books that he's put off reading because of his workload, but rather one that he's familiar with. Something he's read so many times that, at this point, he could recite it cover to cover without needing to look. In his mind, it helps him relax and destress because of the comforting familiarity of the paragraphs, the unsurprising and mundane words that his eyes had glossed over so many times before, the feel of the worn pages that his fingers had held and brushed too many times to count.

(Do I want to be a book? Yes. Yes, I do.)

As being a tuxedo cat means getting hot easily -- and that's a massive yikes for Mordecai -- I think that he sets the blanket aside and sleeps without one during the summer. Or if the night is chilly enough to warrant the presence of a blanket, he'd use a thin one, or he'd just wear pajamas and a long-sleeved top.

And I'd say Mordecai sleeps on his stomach, with his arms all wrapped around a pillow. Something about the way the soft, slow breeze of the fan hits the fur his back lulls him into a slumber like no other. Plus, it keeps him from feeling too hot and sweaty.

Tl;dr : Cold pillows, cold sheets, cold room for Mordecai. Anything other than that and he'd much rather sleep outside than have a single bead of sweat show up on his body during the night 💀

🍷 Mitzi May

Oh honey .. Mitzi does not sleep well, that's all I can tell ya'.

In the timeline of the comic, I'd say that Mitzi rarely gets any sleep, and that she manages to get through the day with a conconction of the strongest coffee she could find mixed with whatever leftover beer she could spare.

Atleast, during the daytime, she has Rocky's shenanigans to keep her mind occupied. But once the sun sets and Mitzi climbs the narrow stairs to the third floor of the cafe's building .. it all just starts to unfold and her facade gives way to weary sighs and smudged mascara.

(Alright, that's enough angst )

On nights where it's not so bad, Mitzi would spend most of her time in Atlas's old office, talking to his painting and keeping him updated on what's happening. By this point his painting has become a diary for her, and although she knew it was stupid, she couldn't help but confide everything to it, as if it were a best friend. Even though his painting never moved, never talked, never offered any words of comfort, Mitzi always finds herself calmer afterwards.

Then she'd go into their - her - bedroom, and she'd start cleaning herself up. She'd do it slow, like it was her first time handling all the creams and washes on her vanity table. For Mitzi, this was when she really feels at peace. When it's just her, her cold creams, and the hum of the building's old heating system running in the walls. There was something in the soft, sure way she kept herself clean that made everything just a bit more bearable.

Mitzi likes to sleep on her side, with a huge pillow right besides for her to hold. Regardless of the weather, she'd keep herself under the covers. She falls asleep pretty easily, but on the nights where her troubles become too much to bear, she just stares at the lights of the buildings across the street, watching each window turn from gold to black, and play a little game with herself in which she tries to fall asleep before the light in the last window turns off.

Unorthodox, but it works everytime.

And in the morning, Mitzi finds herself with a little bit more willpower to carry on than the night before.

🎷 Lackadaisy Speakeasy House Band (Bonus !)

I've read somewhere that Zib lives in the same building as the rest of the band so ..

Let's just say their landlord hates them. It's bad enough that the sounds of their instruments creaking and groaning along the tight squeezes of the hallway was enough to drive anyone up a wall, but do they really have to rehearse in their rooms, too?

And don't get me started when they having a little (BIG) jamming session. Like, yeah, they sound good at first but eventually it all just devolves into a cacophony of god-awful squeals from someone's saxophone.

Zib himself sleeps on his bed (a thin mattress on a rickety old bedframe .. someone get him a proper bed please .) most of the time, but every now and then the band likes to crash at his room for shits and giggles.

Cue Zib tangled up with Sy on the floor, with Ben sleeping on the bed like he owns the place, and J.J. and Mozzie snoozing in the makeshift bed they made pushing two old couches together.

Hey, atleast they pay their rents on time .. right ?

I'm so glad I found your account! You guys are very talented <33

I know canonically Mortdecai isn't, uh, amazing with kids but what if a Marigold members daughter started hanging around the building (like Ivy did when she was younger) and she reminded Mortdecai of one of his sisters (Esthers moodiness or Roses cheeriness)? I'd love some headcanons about the scenario^^

I wasn't going to write this until later but I absolutely had to jump ahead of schedule and write this because it nagged at my mind almost all week. You even started an AU for the other mods and I, anon. This little idea is so tasty and adfghfgferhrj

You are the biggest brain and I hope you don't mind that me and Iphiko (and maybe even Rory!) had a little taste of this drink ourselves first. Different bottle, don't worry, we haven't touched any of what's in your hand right now

Also thank you so much for your kind words! I'm really glad you guys are enjoying these things (as if the inbox flooding wasn't proof enough), it makes us Lackadaisy Moonshiners so happy and gives me an excuse to keep writing. You're all awesome!

At first, it almost stings. He still remembers Ivy, after all; her wandering around following Viktor or whoever caught her eye whenever she could. It was cute. Adorable, even.

But Mordecai seems to be the target of this little beast's attention. And no amount of waving her off, gently pushing her away with his foot or annoyed threats will get her to pick someone else.

The Savoys are enamored with the little bugger. Serafine started calling her "Bébé Couteau" (Baby Knife) after being allowed to teach her some knife tricks (why Asa let them put a knife in the hands of a kitten, Mordecai will never know) and Nico picked up the habit of startling the little girl by picking her up and spinning with her...Which slowly evolved into throwing her across the bloody bar into Serafine's arms after an accident that resulted in the kitten getting yeeted by a distracted Nico (apparently she loved it (and to Serafine's credit, she ran like Hell to catch her); so it's not exactly safe but it's okay??)

Several speakeasy attendees mistake her to be Mordecai's kitten since she's always hanging around him (and especially so if she's a Tuxedo cat). It probably doesn't help that he loudly objects to the twins throwing the kitten back and forth like a football and has even ripped her out of their arms once or twice

They also (correctly) assume that he calls the shots when it comes to her. If she's making trouble or is heading somewhere that she shouldn't be, someone has to work up the courage to tell that ferocious shadow of Asa's. It's him, the queen cat that looks like she's constantly considering stabbing you or the heartthrob at the bar vicious son of a bitch who always looks like he knows that he's better than you

It's an unspoken rule between the three that Mordecai's word is law when it comes to the kitten. He hates this and is sure that they just use this as another excuse to tease him.

Asa scares the Hell out of the poor little thing. He tried greeting her once and she burst into tears and ran to Mordecai so he could protect her. The twins thought this was hysterical: the kitten adores the ground Mordecai walks on, laughs at Serafine's threats and thinks Nico throwing her at a soft target as hard as he can is the bee's knees; but Asa Sweet-the big fat cat with the softest features out of all of them-scares the living daylights out of her.

Mordecai thinks the kitten has a good judge of character sometimes. If it wasn't for her love of the chaotic duo he'd say that out loud

They brought the kitten along to a "meeting" once when she were sick with a fever. She cried when Mordecai left the car and Serafine refused to leave until she was comforted or at least sleeping, so (after some arguing and sweet-talking) Mordecai went back for her. When he didn't leave the vehicle for a few minutes, the Savoys went on without him.

They came back to find him reading a book, the kitten snuggled up against his side and sound asleep tucked under his coat and arm. The soft look in Morde's eye told Nico that maybe this wasn't the time to be teasing him.

This didn't stop Serafine. Mordecai hasn't heard the end of that event. (Asa also gave him some Hell for leaving the twins to do the dirty work, but Serafine and Nico shut him down pretty quickly-they found whatever crate he wanted, no witnesses are around to tell the tale, the job was done just fine and the kitten needed him more than they did. Shut up, Mr. Sweet.)

Whoever's daughter the kitten is, they'd better learn to deal with Mordecai becoming her guardian angel of death. If she doesn't have a parent and just wandered in somehow, she's gonna end up with something better: an aunt that'll teach her to kill and how to stay strong, an uncle that'll toss her around like a hot potato and teach her to be fearless and another uncle that'll pretend to not care for her until someone looks at her the wrong way.

Mordecai, Serafine and Nico. Probably the worst-fitting cats to be any kind of parental figures, yet ones that will guard a mutually-adopted kitten until their final breaths-whether they'll admit to it or not.

The Lackadaisy high school au Bible

Class division:

First year:

Rocky Rickaby

Ivy Pepper

Calvin "Freckle" McMurray

Second year:

Mordecai Heller

Nicodeme Savoy

Serafine Savoy

Mary Ellen "Mitzi" Montgomery

Dorian Zibowski & The Band

Third year:

Sedgewick Sable

Lacy Hardt

Bobby Bastion

Elsa Arbogast

Horatio Bruno

Fourth year:

Viktor Vasko

Atlas May

Asa Sweet

Ruby Pepper

Dom Drago

Abelard Arbogast

A bit of worldbuilding/understanding the au and how it works:

This is what I have settled for to be like… "canon"(? inside this au, or at least a guide book for when I write.

The school they all attend is a private school since there are a lot of middle to high class people here.

For the ones I think wouldn't realistically be able to pay for that label of education without some other arrangement, here are some ways to bring them there:

Viktor and the Savoys are here thanks to an international exchange program, Viktor lives with Miss. Bapka and the Savoys are stuck living with Asa and his family since they are one of the main sponsors for the project.

Mordecai's entire education is sponsored by Atlas and his family, who found great potential in him despite his clear "personality problems" and took pity on his family's economic state. They sponsor him under the condition of him later working for them in their family company, though it's not very clear what job they want to assign him (Atlas' family makes alcohol of course, although legal this time).

I am not aware of Mitzi, Zib or any other member of the band having a family they keep in touch with, so for now I'll put them in some sort of program for "orphan youths" or something like that.

Mordecai met Serafine in the first year and the to entered the early steps of friendship over a sheared passion over analyzing the movie Coraline and Nico came along with his sister, Mordecai did not expect for the siblings to attach themselves to him and called him "their best friend" as he only though they wouldn't go anywhere past acquaintances. He is in denial about how they've warmed up to him.

Ruby and Ivy are siblings, not father and daughter. Thanks to this is how Viktor met her and considers her and Elsa, at least for the most part of the story, his only friends. Ivy and him have a sibling dynamic and Ruby is aware that there are ZERO romantic feelings between the two.

Wick and Lacy are class presidents and part of the little "student council" the school has, they are besties and Wick still depends on her to be a functional person. I could see Elsa being part of it as well.

The Arbogast family still are a religious household that owns a funeral home, Abelard has a secret passion for alcohol/ cocktail making and joins Bobby in that secret activity. Elsa, trying to look after her brother and her boyfriend, is some sort of representative/manager for their little enterprise. Ruby and especially Atlas would LOVE to partner up with them but get rejected every time by Elsa, and Elsa's words are final.

In this universe, all the band members are, well, in the band! Rocky is also there and literally NEVER missed a meeting or ran late. They've consumed some "catnip" together multiple times. Expect Rocky.

Atlas is an asshole, a nice and genuinely trying to get Mordecai to socialize a bit more type of asshole. Ruby is just nice and Asa is just an asshole. They hang out with Viktor, who mostly keeps to himself, although he doesn't see them as more than close acquaintances.

Horatio truly has no enemies, some people might not like the push over attitude (Viktor) or how he keeps feeding all the birds and rats he comes across with (Mordecai) But enemies? None. Zero. Nada.

Viktor still heavily dislikes Rocky and Calvin. Rocky is still a danger to humanity and Calvin isn't good enough for such a sweet girl like Ivy, just wait until he finds out how easy Ivy can get in trouble when she truly wants to.

Lacy is almost everyone's emergency number: Had an accident? Call Lacy. Need advice? Call Lacy. You need help because Zib made Wick try some catnip when he went to rehearsal to visit Mitzi and has been talking about how a dead duck hunts him non stop for the past hour and a half? Please call Lacy.

I believe most of the scars/trauma this characters may have are still present in this universe but have a different way of manifesting on their bodies and minds or have a different origin. For example, Viktor still only has one eye. His great grandfather faught in WW1, his grandfather faught WW2, his father served his time in the army and him and his brothers went to a militar school. But when he lost an eye in an accident (I haven't decided what accident), his mother decided she did not want that life for him and enrolled him in the exchange program. He was selected out pity, to add insult to injury.

This is how I view some of the dynamics and such although It was very hard trying to translate the mindset of an adult in the 1830 into a teenager of the 2020, things like physycal or mental trauma or quirks. I guess I'll find a more organic way to translate them when I start writing.

Apart form mental state, personality is also hard. Teens obviously act differently than adults and having them act that way will just come off as unreal or cringy, so, what I went with was giving them a similar personality but removing some aspects that show a sense of adult maturity they wouldn't realistically have. For example, Mordecai is severely antisocial, direct and pays a lot of attention to things like tidiness and grammar but lacks that over elegant feel to him. That almost melodramatic way for him to move and act is transformed into a formal but deadpanned way of speaking and moving, the characteristic breakdowns stay intact tho.

For characters that don't have an established personality or we haven't seen enough of it I had to first make an idea of they act and then adjust it to this universe. I always imagined Atlas to be a no nonsense person when it came to business but a thinker and a kind man when it came to the people he trusted, all of this with a cocky grin and a sense of humor based around of making fun of others or situations in a less serious sense. So, for his high school counterpart, I imagined him to be (as I described previously) a person who was genuinely nice to who he saw as friends, determined but extremely sarcastic and over confident. He wants for Mordecai to see him as am older brother so badly.

So yeah, this is what I was able to write down as a guide for the au! I feel like characters like Mitzi and Zib are kinda underdeveloped but I'll see what I do with them later.

I did this because I thought it be really funny to do a high school au for LACKADAISY for all projects so this is intended to be ironic, like crack taken seriously. But I unfortunately fell in love with it! This characters have been living in my mind rent free for around 3 years and now they've decided to attend school….

Hey! Hey, psiu! *Hands over headcanon*

Serafine: *Wears bright blue eyeshadow one day for some reason*

Mordecai: So you're- no, no, no, no, no, NO! You are going to change it RIGHT NOW! You can use red, emerald-green, or even that sparkly glitterly golden one if you like! But THIS, is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE! *Proceeds to drag Serafine back into the Savoys hotel suit, put another eyeshadow that actually fits her on her, and conficaste the bright blue one. All while proclaiming about how bright blue would NEVER fit with her red lipstick and golden-ish eye-color, because they're WARM colors that complement the white and black of her fur & hair, so bright blue ends up only clashing and making her look like a clown* (he sends the bright blue one to Mitzi because he knows it will fit better with her color palette) (yes, I strongly believe that Mitzi turned Mordecai into a fashionista)

I OWE YOU MY KIDNEY FOR THIS ONE, OMFG

yes, I too strongly believe Mitzi turned Mordecai into a fashionista lmfao and Serafine letting her Peekon do his thing because holy shit it's funny and endearing at the same time.

I'm thinking about Käärijä and wondering how Lackadaisy characters would respond to Eurovision. its 1:30 am, I'm halfway crazy, here's some VERY loose headcanons.

I think Ivy would enjoy it the most really. Freckle enjoys it because Ivy enjoys it.

Rocky loves the crazy/theatrical acts. (enjoyer of Conchita i stand firm on this)

Viktor and Mordecai both Do Not Get It. they do not Want to get it. its loud and strains the eyes and they have better things to do. like read a book or fix Mrs Bapka's sink.

Mitzi and Zib just love the music and seeing new artists. Atlas wouldn't get it but hell support his wife forever and always.

wick thinks the politics are cool <== doesn't realize how gay it is til the lesbians start singing.

Nico also likes the crazy/theatrical acts. Serafine LOOOOOVES all the gay people like ever. MASSIVE Conchita stan.

the Arbogasts enjoy it but they're not like CRAZY about it y'know?

Asa misses the homophobic judges.

Nina likes how many wins Ireland has.

thats all folks

part 3 was a delight to read! how about headcanons of Mordecai x gn reader where they meet in the marigold? would a relationship even be possible with a marigold coworker?

Oh thank god hes found somebody sane

The Savoys constant teasing and lassiez-faire attitude would certainly give Mordecai a reason to work with his other associate, even if you're only slightly more level-headed. He'd prefer the two of you working together for a few reasons: Four is a crowd and more suspicious, the Savoy siblings can't lay low to save their lives, and he's more used to working as a duo than a trio or quartet. As mentioned, he'd prefer a calmer and steadier personality - but if you're more wild, at least there's only one exhausting person to keep up with. Mordecai's willing to put up with a lot as long as you get the job done in a timely manner, though.

And if you're familiar with St. Louis' criminal underground, you might be aware of his reputation, which he prefers. Like with the siblings, he wants to keep a distance from those he works with in the Marigold gang. So he starts off cold and standoffish with you, though you'll start to see his weirder side after a few months (wow that's a strong reaction to spiders.)

Where the story is now, you would've been working with Mordecai for a year at most - and unlike Nico and Seraphine, that isn't long enough to gain his trust. However, he finds himself trusting in your judgement, whether it be during fights or trying to discern someone's motivations. Being capable at your job, explaining your logic to him, getting "results" - while also respecting his boundaries - well, it goes a long way. Eventually it becomes obvious that Mordecai would rather work with you, and while he'd never say it in front of you, when given a new assignment he tells Asa he's bringing you and you only.

It also helps to not question Mordecai's loyalties, or openly mistrust him - even though he has plenty of suspicious comings and goings, and he killed his last boss. This doesn't mean you blindly trust him, but you keep those suspicions to yourself and respect his space, otherwise he'll shut you out completely. The fact he gets along well with you (at least by his standards) is a problem for Mordecai. He's not here to make friends, after all, he's here for answers.

(And if you were noticeably loyal to the Marigold gang, there would be times where he'd seem to run hot and cold - you thought you were getting somewhere with him one day, then a few days later it's all curt responses and annoyed glances. What's with that?)

You'll notice how quiet Mordecai gets if you bring up Lackadaisy - never a smart move, really - or worse, mention how glad you are to have him with the Marigolds. He gets really irritated by those sort of compliments.

There's some humor in that Nico and Serafine are put out by how much Mordecai prefers you. Maybe that's how you realized your overtures and attempts at friendliness were actually getting somewhere; Asa probably not-so-subtly mentioned it, too. It doesn't seem like Mordecai's preference is "just" business, though of course you'd never get any solid answer out of the shadowy tuxedo cat. You don't think the Savoys are outright jealous, but they definitely have a more-than-what's-healthy curiosity for Mordecai and will press you for answers on him.

So yeah, being part of the Marigold gang and have a romantic interest in him... well, good luck. It'd be slow and steady enough if you were with the Lackdaisy back in the day, but after his "betrayal" and all the feelings that came with it? After he's become single-minded on figuring out the truth of Atlas' murder, regardless of who he has to kill to prove his loyalty to the Marigold gang? That's a whooole lot of angst and emotional turmoil you're opening yourself up to. Good luck with that.

(And hypothetically, if you came across any of his 'investigations' or someone in the gang suspected him - How much would you cover for him? How much would he cover for you? Would he take your help as friendship, or would he take it as a debt he now owes? Nothing's really simple with him ...)

#sorry this isnt really romantic but you know how he is LOL #mordecai heller x reader #lackadaisy x reader

Hello. You can ask you for headcanons for a relationship with Serafine Savoy?

a/n : Absolutely. I'm so inlove with her it's scary

☆☆☆

Content : romance , headcanons

Content warning : angst-y (?) Suggestive

Before relationship!

Dating her is definitely hard

She's very closed off, so breaking down those walls was probably long and hard

she's used the usual weekly fling, but being with someone for even more than that was strange to her

Alot of the time, she goes for people for the fun of it

Only wanting a good time and nothing intimate

Otherwise she shuts it down immediately.

She's not one to be in committed long term relationships

She's loyal; I'll give you that much, but she's not one to focus on someone and work

Her business gets in the way of relationships; and she knows this

So with that, you'll have to be someone she knows she can depend on you

Dating! ( •̀ᴗ•́ )و ̑̑

She's definitely someone who knows you're attractive, and takes pride in that

So if someone hits on you; she walks up behind you to wrap her arms around your waist to rest her head on your shoulders to say "I know right?" In a low and confident voice

She could ignore you for weeks(whether by accident or not) she'll continue where you guys left off

She loves showing off to you

showing you knife tricks, and telling you what she did that day, or the night before for work.

She's tries to keep you separate from work besides telling you what happened, she doesn't like the thought of getting you mixed up with her line of work

she'll casually come by your place, or job to say hi and drop of a little gift she bought you

she brings along Nico(when appropriate of course)

she understands boundaries, but if she can she'll definitely bring along her brother

The type to have the "if you dont like one of us, you can't have the other" type of mentality

So if you dont get along with Nico, or he doesn't like you, you're relationship is done before it really began

(ofcourse he likes you in this scenario)

You two are the occasional friends, he makes jokes a lot of the time

Making faces at you in serious times, nipping at your sides to make you giggle, or copying your every move

She's loyal in the end, through and through

She sticks by your side through thick and thin, accepting your flaws if you accept hers

☆☆☆

I apologize if im taking awhile responding to these again, there's alot and I think it cured my boredom! I'll be busy finishing these for a few days!! I promise I'll be back just give me

This means requests are finally closed(temporarily)

ೀ⋆｡askbox + rules + masterlist ! ɞ°

⸝⸝ tl;dr : title says all ! my askbox is open, and under the cut are just some general rules to follow when submitting requests / asks ! also under the cut is my masterlist -- i thought to include both of them in one post to make it easier to navigate ^^

ʚĭɞ || RULES ♡

I will only write for Lackadaisy for this blog ! For all Slam Dunk asks, please go to my other blog ! :DD

10 requests at a time, please ! Once I've received 10, I will close my askbox and will only open it again after those 10 have been posted .

Absolutely NO NSFW . Romantic stuff and displays of affection like kissing is fine, but I won't write about anything further than that .

I also won't write anything within the lines of pedophilia, abuse, traumatic deaths, or any form of bigotry or hate, as it not only makes me extremely uncomfortable but it also goes against what I stand for .

Please go through my askbox rather than commenting on my posts or messaging me ! It helps me keep track of everything a lot easier .

Do be patient ! I'm only a student with not much free time on my hands, and although I do love to write, I also prefer to do it in my spare time . I can't guarantee that I'll answer your requests quickly, but I'll still try my best ♡

Note

how do all the lackadaisy characters react to getting sick/how do the handle the situation. Thanks!! :3c

Lumping these two asks together as they are the same request. Ask and ye shall receive! (A collaborative effort between multiple of our authors as it does involve the whole cast.)

ROCKY

Sick? What do you mean sick. In his over twenty-two years of living thus far he's never been sick once. He has the immune system of a titan, what are you talking about.

Questions he whilst leaning heavily on the bar counter for support lest he is knocked to the ground in a feverish pile by this sudden earthquake that apparently no one else is noticing like seriously you guys shouldn't we evacuate the place?!

In his defense, he's right about one thing: illness seems to avoid him as prevalently and miraculously as death itself. He could get stuck in the rain, take cold mud baths, sleep outside in winter snow, hug someone with Spanish flu, taste the pavement of a rat-infested alley and drink raw sewage and still come out of it all fit as a fiddle.

(Whether he carries anything is a different question, though with the various microorganisms inside him he seems to live in an overwhelmingly peaceful coexistence.)

But every rule has exceptions. And since he frequently does end up in all those situations, when once a millennium he comes down with something it's hard to tell the cause.

How he handles it can be summed up in a short answer of: he doesn't. He refuses to acknowledge it until he's physically incapacitated. If asked about it he keeps insisting that he's fine, a-okay, dandy as can be, never has existed a more invigorated healthy young man on Earth. At best he may invent a perfectly unconvincing excuse, like allergies acting up. (Inside underground caves. In winter. When he's never been allergic to anything in his entire life.)

Aside from perhaps unsuccessfully forbidding him from causing more grievous disturbances than usual, people usually opt to just leave him to it, because once he's set his mind on being "fine" logical reasoning and sound advice are only breath wasted. Ever well-intentioned, Mitzi still tells him to get some rest every now and then, yet keeps stumbling into the boy as he's fumbling through whatever that unresting intent has currently possessed him to be doing.

This wouldn't be such an issue with, say, a cold, because regardless of his masochistic eagerness for activity it inevitably does pass, but if it's something that necessitates any amount of bedrest... well, good luck.

For one he hasn't really a place to rest. I mean... there's the car. No one but Ivy at the Lackadaisy seems to know he technically lives in there, and he's not too enthusiastic to disclose it himself; besides anywhere else actually suitable, like in Mitzi's apartment, he'd just feel like a capital nuisance.

But let's suppose a scenario with the ideal location and someone who cares enough to stick by and ensure he actually does stay put. Shouldering such a responsibility, they must be prepared for a minimum of two things.

For one: he's going to be even more unbearably talkative than usual. Because what else is there left for a restless spirit if the flesh is restrained? Nothing but to complain and lament and versify and prattle on incessantly about whatever comes careening hither along a changeful stream of consciousness. Albeit unwittingly, driving others insane with his aimless rambling is how he keeps himself... well, something.

It's like if his mind had to stop running at maximum speed for just a few minutes it would promptly crash for good. Which, for all we know, may really be the case.

(This is just my two cents, but: I think giving him drawing implements and a coloring book or just plain paper might keep him very nicely occupied, as well as relatively quiet. Be sure to provide plenty of paper though, if you don’t want him to start drawing on other things not meant to be drawn on when the supply runs out like an unsupervised kid... unless you welcome the idea of your walls and furniture being covered in doodles.)

The other, possibly more arduous challenge is keeping him inside the room in the first place. Not understanding nor agreeing with his special treatment largely experienced as imprisonment on his end, he seizes each arising opportunity to attempt to weasel away somehow.

And he's a trained escape artist.

Watch him closely but look away for even a second, and you'll find no trace of him left in the room when you look back. Lock him in there, he'll pick the lock in a pinch - or attempt the window, which depending on the floor number may carry various levels of risk. Tie him down (because you're getting desperate by now) and you're likely to stumble into him minutes later by the front door, having already wriggled his way out. Doesn’t matter which knot was used, he knows most of them by heart. (And even if he didn’t happen to, he’s resourceful enough.)

Like I’ve said before, he perseveres in resisting his confinement for as long as he's capable of moving his limbs around and some vague semblance of coherent thought. Even with his brains cooking with delirium one may have to rescue him as he's crawling along on the floor dragging with him the tangle of blankets he was last left swaddled in, not entirely clear on what direction he's headed but by all means dedicated.

He's not above manipulation either, in order to divert his warden’s attention or make them relinquish his firm supervision rooted in concern for his well-being. Because it's not like he's concerned about it; so why should anyone else be? In addition he's unshakably certain that his role in the Lackadaisy's rumrunning force as well as there in general is absolutely vital and requires that he always be available for employment regardless of if he’s even in a proper state for it. (Just look at the latest comic arc, for crying out loud.)

But psst. Here's a little personal tip, for (Y/N) specifically. If reasonable advice hits deaf ears, and cuffing him to a bedpost yields little results other than another mildly baffling escape attraction, there remains one other thing to try with better chances of success... a more hands-on approach, if you catch my drift.

(Cuddling. I'm talking about cuddling. If you've got a good grip on this string bean of a man he is certainly not going anywhere so long as you're vigilant. Doing so, of course, means risking your own health, which he won't fail to coyly point out either; but he'll otherwise put up minimal resistance and ultimately cave in because God knows he’s touch deprived and doesn't get held enough otherwise. Well, by not enough I mean not at all, ever. But that's exactly why it's a good thing you're here, isn't it?)

Overall, as amusing of a story collection to recount as his commonly absurd ailing escapades might provide later down the line, the fact that they very rarely happen is no doubt for the best. He engages in enough troublesome shenanigans as is.

FRECKLE

Surprisingly pragmatic about it. Yep. He's getting symptoms. Looks like he contracted something.

Best be careful about it... mostly because Nina wouldn't allow him running himself ragged anyhow.

Along with other moral virtues he's had honesty drilled into him from kittenhood. And although it's not always an option in... other matters... he's upfront about how he's feeling physically if not much else, and eventually does come to terms with it. (Once he’s confirmed with certainty that it’s not just the general nauseated feeling he gets whenever he thinks too deeply about his “work” nowadays.)

He doesn't want to infect other people, or incur the stern concern of his mother, so at the very least he stays around the house, doing small, mostly undemanding chores. He's aware it's not expected of him nor recommended, but he has a bit of restlessness to him too.

Mostly because, were it bad enough to confine him to bed in a blanketed bundle of suffering incarnate, all he'd be able to think about is that God's wrath finally caught up with him for being a horrible person and this was part of his rightful punishment. Even worse if he got a nasty fever; it's like he's already burning in Hell.

Distractions may be scarce, but if he's been told off from chores for sneezing on the washing-up or exhausting himself with much too overzealous hammering, he opts to read instead. Over the years he's amassed quite the collection of books, renowned classics and youth literature, and most of them still give off the fluttering remnants of a good kind of nostalgia when flipping through the pages.

And besides, immersing himself in someone else's story is far more pleasant than fretting over his own current predicaments.

Some company, from a safe distance of course, will do him wonders as well. Nina is not the most conversational woman around, and aside from checking on him regularly and ensuring his wellbeing they don't make much meaningful contact.

Rocky likely pops in from time to time however, forever enthused to just run his mouth for as long as allowed, and although he may get a bit too bombastic for Calvin's comparative lack of vitality sometimes he appreciates the distraction more than he's able to express it. And, believe it or not, it's not entirely one-sided either. Rocky has developed a keen sense for his quiet cousin's intent to contribute and will more than gladly listen to what he has to say.

He’ll also forward Ivy’s wishes for Calvin to get well soon as she’s just dying to be able to meet with him at the speakeasy again. (Definitely also attaches a teasing remark or two to the message.) Then he’s eventually ushered out by Nina and as soon as his hasty goodbyes are swallowed by the outdoors Calvin finds himself missing the noise already.

The paralyzed stillness of being sick gets to him a lot more than it shows… seeing as it leaves him a little too alone with his own mind. So he sinks into the comfort of old books until he’s incapacitated by a headache and sore eyes, and diligently rakes those seven leaves that had gathered across the back lawn since he last attended to them two hours before, and lingers outside in the garden until warmer hues overtake a sun-painted sky and the evening chill starts to bite, taking in all things green and alive and in motion to remind himself that he’s not a walking corpse. Not yet, anyway.

Due to his mom’s supervision as well as his own eagerness to follow instructions in order to escape his personal limbo as soon as possible, he does tend to recover fairly fast; and he’s a pretty hardy young lad, thank goodness, so it’s all quite uncommon of an ordeal. In short it’s back to the ol’ grindstone in a jiffy; you know, the kind of grindstone that pulverizes mortal lives and churns out dripping blood.

But hey, best not stop and mull over it too long.

IVY

Oh, it's a nightmare for her.

You mean she can't go out in the evenings anymore? Can't go shopping with friends? Can't procure booze with her criminal coworkers? Can't attend dates with her cute new boyfriend? (Well, those last two are one and the same, really.)

These are all vital activities for a young woman like her to pursue! What else is she supposed to do? Rot in her room and steer clear of all fun whilst everyone else keeps going on with their lives?!

Some flimsy cold is nowhere near enough to keep her away from the beloved Lackadaisy. She can still man the café counter with a little sniffle (taking care to sneeze on no one's food) or look absolutely gorgeous on the dancefloor decked in glimmering pearls and feathers with a slightly paler constitution. But if it's bad enough that she simply must stay put...

During classes the still life of an empty dormitory fills with upbeat contemporary tunes from her bedstand radio as she lies upon crumpled bedsheets, clad in her prettiest pajamas, surrounded by an almost ritualistic circle of tissues and magazines whilst flipping through one of the latter with her legs girlishly dangling in the air. This is likely the scene any visitors are greeted by as well.

She looks like she's coping rather well... until verbal contact ensues and she begins her long string of complaints about how she's feeling utterly miserable. Runny nose, sore throat, grating cough, an unshakable sense of fatigue and she can't even go anywhere! Her classmates are off studying or having fun themselves (as well as deliberately avoiding contact with her for obvious reasons), and she's got nothing to look at but patterned wallpaper and pictures of pretty clothes she currently can't even visit the boutiques for.

But once the grievances are shared she promptly guides the spotlight in their direction, upon which they are to share every last bit of information and news about all most recent ongoings in the world of the healthy. It is a requirement (she will not let them go until they oblige), but also an opportunity; they're welcome to spill the beans on how their week has been and any noteworthy things that happened to them and also to just chat with her about whatever else comes up in the process.

Another way she keeps herself involved with the outside world is through the telephone. The local operator can already tell if she's under the weather by the prevalence of hearing her slightly weathered, juvenile voice squeak for connection to mostly one line throughout the day.

Her calls may also be scheduled to a certain hour so that everyone can come up to Mitzi's office and say hi. That "everyone" overwhelmingly ends up being Rocky, who lingers around there a bit more insistently than usual nearing that time frame and never fails to make his presence known by shouting his own greetings and cheerful encouragements of perseverance into the receiver.

She always asks him about Viktor and Calvin since the former disappointingly refuses to engage with her calls, and the latter doesn't visit because boys aren't allowed in the dormitory... and because he's afraid of catching her sickness. (What a chicken.)

You’d better believe they both get a scolding once she’s recovered for not contacting her at all… though you can’t really stay mad at sheepishly apologetic, babyfaced Freckle McMurray, now can you

Supposing the presence of company who’s emotionally close enough, she may also get clingy in the physical sense. Yes, she knows it’s not very courteous to rub your germs all over someone, but oh, her head is just killing her and she’s exhausted and achy and utterly sick of being sick, hence she desperately needs to rest her chin on someone’s shoulder and latch onto their soft warmth. Really, they brought this upon themselves by daring to enter the sniffly lion cub’s den. Now they’re likely not allowed to move for… let’s say the next two hours. Alternatively, until she has to go to the bathroom or ask them to get her something to drink.

Yes, she’s a bit of a princess; and especially when she’s miserable she may occasionally indulge in showering a willing servant with her various requests. Fetch her this, throw away that, bring hot chocolate and snacks, take out the trash, give her attention. But how could you say no to those big, innocent eyes?

If it’s a schoolmate she will absolutely persuade them to skip their classes for the day and spend time with her instead, offering cuddles and gossip. Forgetting, or ignoring rather, that not everyone can afford to be so lax about their education. Though surely, full-time service as a personal maid slash stuffed animal is making a much better use of their time. She promises to do the same when they inevitably catch the illness themselves, if that’s any consolation.

Nightly adventures and consequent loss of sleep aside, she takes decent care of herself overall, so the understimulating agony of quarantined solitude luckily isn’t something she suffers more of than the average person… albeit that little she’s an expert at suffering luxuriously.

VIKTOR

No, he's not sick, you're just lying. The great, the indomitable, the fierce Viktor Vasco never gets sick.

Denial is definitely a big part of it. He will not admit to getting sick until he's too weak to stand, and even then he'll fight anyone who tries to get him to rest.

The boredom is somehow scarier than actual health concerns. Staying at home and being too ill to do anything except think means he'll think. And thinking leads to a whole load of other things that he doesn't want to get into.

Essentially, getting sick is a liability to everything, from his job to his sense of self.

However, good luck on trying to make him better. He will also stubbornly refuse any help that comes his way, will slam his door in the doctor's face and threaten to tear apart anyone who so much as suggests getting him medicine.

His colleagues from Lackadaisy have taken to asking Mrs Bapka, his neighbour, to administer anything they want to give him themselves (he will draw a line at punching an old woman and fellow Slovakian immigrant), or Ivy (no one can successfully dispose of Ivy and her headstrong attitude. No one.)

The last person he had actually listened to when he was sick was a certain Mordecai Heller. Needless to say, that's not the case anymore.

Maybe that's what really makes him so grumpy and reluctant.

ZIB

His immune system is either rock hard or absolute dogshit, there is no in-between. He can go through a crowd of cats with nasty 'bouts of the flu without catching it, but gets bedridden by something as small as a head cold.

Said wonky immune system may be because he tends to drink stuff cut with the most ridiculous ingredients (radiator fluid, coffin varnish, paint, water, mud, you name it he's probably tasted it)

When he gets laid up, he gets laid up hard (innuendo not intended). He has to drag himself out of bed during the worst parts of it and may not even bother, electing to curl up and shiver/cry from the pain/die where he's comfortable. His band members have to literally drag him out of there on those days and force food down his throat so he doesn't wither away

Goddammit you lanky noodle bitch look after your sick ass don't make everyone do it for you

MORDECAI

He hates falling ill with a passion. It's one of many reasons he drinks tea so often: if he does get sick, it won't hit him so hard.

He tends to try and shrug off small stuff (runny nose, mild to moderate headache, aches and pains) to go to work anyway; but he's no fool. If he really feels icky he'll stay at home and look after himself. As much as he hates to do it, he's only got one body and somebody has to look after it.

The Savoys bash/tease him relentlessly whenever he comes in sick. If the mild headache becomes something worth staying at home for, they'll go as far as to try and visit him (or get him to come to them). Is it guilt about ragging him about it, them missing him or just boredom? Hard to tell with those two.

Serafine once teased about playing as his "mama" and looking after him until he's better. Mordecai, in his sickness-muddled mind, flew off the handle at her...Though all the Savoys saw was him almost break a glass in his paws before telling them flatly to get out.

Neither one realized Serafine had hit a nerve until he refused to let them in for a few days after. Whether it was something about his past or Serafine betraying his trust to get him into her group, they let it go and pretended nothing happened once he was back in action (though there was a noticeably thicker wall between him and them)

SERAFINE/NICODEME

Meet the "clingy" duo.

They don't get sick often and have impressive immune systems, what with their past roaming the swamps and other dangerous conditions, but when they do? Oh boy...

They'll either cling to each other in private, or play it up and annoy a hapless colleague.

And by "hapless colleague", I mean Mordecai—because of course it is.

Sickness is less of an actual, preventive ailment, but rather an excuse to show off some dramatic acting skills.

"Oh, cher, I simply cannot move until you bring me some nice warm tea and chocolate!"

"If I die, tell the world I was warm and safe, because of our dear ami, Heller..."

"For crying out loud, you've both got nothing but a cold."

They'll still play it up.

Just because your nose is stuffy doesn't mean the rest of you has to be.

The show must go on, mon cher.

WICK

He gets sick really, really easily. He stays up late at night often, so he doesn't get much rest and his immunity suffers for it.

(Licking rock walls probably doesn't help with that. Muffinhead (affectionate))

He still does work and goes out when he's sick, which results in papers with shitty writing and his friends urging him to go and rest up, "we can go with you another day".

When he's not thinking straight he'll whine to Lacie about how no one wants to see him when he's sick; ignoring the fact that she's either making him food, putting a cold cloth on his head or literally came by just to say hi to him

He's a bit dim sometimes, but he's a loveable dim.

The easiest way to see how sick he is is to mention putting the work on pause or crack a joke at his expense. If he rapidly objects to not working or good-naturedly shrugs off the joke, it's a small thing, nothing to worry about. If all he has to say in response to not working is "I can't" and he tries to defend himself from the joke (or even worse, agrees with it), he's feeling god-awful.

Lacie tends to hide the alcohol away until he's feeling better. During the week or so he's really feeling foggy this actually works, since in his addled state he can't properly look for them.

MITZI (BONUS since she's been getting a fair bit of attention)

Mitzi doesn't get sick. She becomes inconvenienced.

She's also a real bitch when she's sick. It's less of a slipping mask and more of a "I can't be nice when my brain feels too big for my skull"

She'll still grin and bear it for Rocky. He's positively devoted to her, after all; the least she can do is swallow her nasty remarks and come up with something softer for him.

Some cats swear that she never falls ill or has anything happen to her...Usually because once it does happen she locks herself in her office and won't open the door if you're not Horatio or Viktor.

If another cat somehow gets through her door, can put up with her attitude swings and goes out of their way to help her through her illness, she may very well open up a little and talk to them easier. Something as small as a cup of tea during a ravenous headache will convince the then-bitchy queen that you're not all bad-and later that since you put up with her ravenous insults and still helped her, maybe you're worth swallowing her pride for and confiding in.
