How do you think the tortuga crew handles being sick
i swear to the gods I answered this. Tumblrs fucking with me now 😀🙄
Alrighty, let's do this again.
I think the Tortuga would let them do them y'know? Maybe glide the chairs around to bring people snacks- jk jk
Kokis quarantining whoever's sick. She's spraying and wiping down EVERYTHING. She'll be damned if she gets sick and has to stop the grind. She'll bring you snacks and medicine, but she's wearing a hazmat suit.
When sick, she's useless. Can't breathe, can't stand without the world spinning, sleeps for like a week straight. She actually has an immune system on par with the bros so when she's hit, it hits hard. But she always gets better so no one's ever too worried about her.
Jimmy plays video games with the sick person or plays board games, whatever they wanna do really. He'll cook them whatever they want too. He's gotten really good at cutting recipes into quarters to make smaller amounts for his sick team mates. Since he's on the ship most often he's the one running around grabbing ice packs and snacks for whoever's down.
When sick, it's usually just a cold. Or heat stroke. He gets sick the most often because he refuses to wear clothes that match the weather they're in unless they're literally in the Arctic. He's usually still really functional just really sniffly or has a bad headache. Let him sleep and he'll be fine tomorrow. If he's being stubborn about trying to keep working the crew just threatens to call Jackson and that usually gets him to back down. If not they actually call him and Jackson threatens him. Then he will finally rest since he knows Jackson WILL fly to wherever they are and drag him to bed. Doesn't happen often though. Sometimes if he's REALLY sick he calls Jackson for comfort. Especially in the middle of the night. Listening to him rant about other dumbass pilots helps him sleep lol
Aviva has lots of inventions to help whoever's sick do things. She also uses it as an excuse to let herself "not be productive" and make them little toys or fidgets. She'll watch movies and shows with the person while tinkering in the corner, she tries to avoid touching them or their things though since she doesn't want to get sick either.
When sick, usually burnout. Or a cold. If it's burnout she needs a break for a week and if she tinkers it can't be work related, it needs to be something just fun or she'll burn out even more. If it's a cold, give her a day or two of rest and she'll be fine, but she tries to act like she isn't sick and tries not to rest so it usually ends up being closer to four or five days before she's better again.
Chris brings them things from outside and helps them sit next to windows and such for fresh air. But he also kinda treats them like they're diseased since he HATES being sick. He's a "here feel better and stay way over there" kinda guy. Unless Martins sick then he doesn't mind because what's the fun of a creature adventure if I don't have my bro?? In that case he'll lay in bed with him, despite Martins weak protests, and play animal crossing or read with him. He'll occasionally go out by himself, but only to bring Martin something cool. If he sees a cool creature he knows the sick person would like he calls them on his creature pod and shows it to them.
When sick, miserable. Dying. Might as well be the end of the world. Sick for a week at minimum. And it's never a normal sickness either. Its usually like three combined together or it's a mix of like a cold and an animal sickness he picked up from activating powers while touching something sick. The suit just reads "oh he's sick, now we have this other sick. Eh he just spawned two types of sick." And instead of getting rid of the sickness like it normally would, combines them and since this is a glitch, hes left with it even after deactivating.
But they don't actually know that's what's happening. Since the suits are supposed to get rid of it. So they just figure it's a Kratt brothers thing to spawn new illnesses.
Martin mother hens the sick. Helps Jimmy cook and what not and gets medicine if they need it. Keeps Koki from spraying the diseased with Lysol lmao. Stays on call with the sick while creature adventuring to show them all the cool stuff they're seeing and triples the jokes and puns since laughter's the best medicine. Will stand over the sick if they're out of bed trying to be independent/work with a disapproving frown and foot tap before dragging them back to bed. Don't test him. He will stand by the door all night to make sure you go to bed instead of working.
When sick, scares everyone. Similar to when he's upset, he shuts down and gets quiet. Wears his exhaustion on his sleeve. He's the best about taking a break and letting his body and mind rest and reset. He also avoids asking for things to often, even if he needs them, because he does feel bad making people run around caring for him, that's part of the reason Chris refuses to leave his side since he can usually pick up on when/what Martin needs and isn't asking for. He does detest having his baby brother take care of him since it's supposed to be the other way around but he knows nothing he could say could make Chris leave him to his misery. Gets sick more often then Chris because he's less likely to notice the more subtle signs that an animals sick.
