Seventh Wasp - [written]
[It started around noon. He had been reading a new book to the mice when there's a sudden hic. It was enough to startle him and the mice and make them all jump… though Sion jumped because he hiccupped. It’s been a long time since he’d had the hiccups.
But he approached it like everyone else would! First, he held his breath… nope. Then he chugged some water in a few different ways… still not gone. There's no one around to surprise him so he couldn't try that out.
Ugh...
By the time he gets to his journal, it’s a few hours later and the hiccups have yet to stop. It's gotten very tiring and annoying. He’s run out of ideas on ways to make them stop too so there’s only one thing he can do now.]
Does anyone know of a good way to get rid of hiccups? I’ve already tried to drink water and hold my breath but neither worked.
Thank you in advanced.

yes okay.]
I used to put a spoonful of sugar on my tongue. Pearl would scare me too. And hit me. But that didn't really help with the hiccups, even if it distracted me from them.
written
Do I have to eat the sugar or do I just place it on my tongue? [Getting up to get sugar from the kitchen now though]
written
You place it on your tongue, but why wouldn't you eat it after that?
written
It would be a little strange to swallow all of this sugar by itself. [A beat] How long do I have to keep it on my tongue? Until I know the hiccups have stopped?
written
written
I don't think it's working.
written
Maybe you had to drink something with it after all. [A pause. He's thinking.] Try again with warm water.
written
Okay. [GONNA GO GET SOME WARM WATER AND A BIT MORE SUGAR albeit less than the last spoonful but still plenty.] Do I pour the sugar into the water?
written
I think that would be best. Make sure you stir it up so it dissolves!

I think it w [Hic. His hand jerks and messes up the last stroke of the w] never mind.
written
Maybe without putting it in this time? The sugar will coat your throat if you put it on your tongue and drink warm water and it'll stop the hiccups!

How exactly would you drink it upside down? [DOES HE NEED TO GET A STRAW OR SOMETHING]
[written]
[written]
He does exactly what she says, taking a big gulp of water, sitting upside down and swallowing the water that's in his mouth. It's definitely a... different way to do to it but he manages. He sits up when he's finished, waits then after a moment he comes back AND.... ] It didn't work.
[written]
Are you sure you were upside down enough? You weren't just kind of upside down, were you?
[written]
Well, I think I was. I'm not sure how I could've been any more upside down. I was on the couch with my legs resting on the back and my head hovering above the ground.
[written]
Maybe you just need to drink more water! Maybe you could use a straw and just drink an entire glass upside down.
[written]
Do you know of any other methods? [Because he can't keep drinking water upside down if it doesn't work sob. Gonna go get another glass of water before she responds though]

[written]
Maybe if you laugh really hard, that would help. I know laughing a lot can cause hiccups, so maybe it can get rid of them, too!
[written]
Laugh? Well I suppose that is a way that could possibly disrupt the rhythm the hiccups but I can't just make myself laugh. If I were to try it would be forced and fake since there's nothing to laugh about.

What did the magician say to the fisherman?

Pick a
bass, any bass!troutminnowNevermind. It would probably help to look for a joke book or something in the library.[written]
Huh]
Pick a what? [TELL HIM HE'S CURIOUS NOW]
[written]
I can't remember. I'm sorry! I really thought I had it this time! All I can remember is that it's some kind of fish.

How long have you had them?
written
A few hours now.

HOLD BREATHS.
CHUGS.
Well, he doesn't actually chug the water but he does drink it as he holds his breath. He tries it a few times since the first time fails but as it turns out... ]
It didn't work.

You could try sucking on a slice of lemon.

A lemon? I've never thought to try that. How does it effect the diaphragm? Is it due to the bitter juice?

I didn't know hiccups could be disrupted by taste as well though I suppose it makes sense. [Learning something new every day, Sion] Is it guaranteed to work every time?

W.. why would books lie to you though..? Books are friends..
no subject
Well, it isn't the books, it's the authors who decide to publish misinformation. But as I said, it's rare when false information is printed in a book!
Books concerning politics and some historical events have a higher risk of being printed purposefully with misinformation in order to mislead the readers into believing something else. Books with other topics such as biological and ecological studies often just have outdated information, so in that case it was never the author's intention to give incorrect information.
