Yeah, that works. I was trying to think what would sound plausible for enough time for Mike to adjust. He does have the advantage of still being a kid - kids are way better at adapting than adults. 6 days sounds good and... yeah, Stick re-ups it, so nearly two weeks. :) (Because. Evil.)
Yeah, I was also wondering what sounds plausible for how long the tea would last. Maybe our guesstimate matters more as to how long we want adult Mike to be blinded... (Whether Stick doses him 2 or 3 times, does it matter? Well, except that he's risking permanency and additional time...) Having to deal with it for a week sounds like a huge, evil annoyance.
I like the permanency risk because it adds tension. And it makes Stick even more of an asshole. lol. (He'd probably prefer it if Mike were blinded.) Maybe it builds up in your system each time you take it? Maybe it can change your body chemistry? Maybe it does damage to the optic nerve? *shrugs* And, yes, I think maybe adult Mike has had plenty of time to research this awful tea and he knows the risks. The fact that he does it anyway shows how much of a hold Stick still has over him. How much he can still be manipulated by him... (Maybe he manipulated Mike into taking it just to get at Matt?)
I like how they're brought closer, yet it's also when Mike starts keeping huge secrets! The dichotomy is delicious. Definitely when the label switching starts! (Maybe he thinks he's helping. lol I mean, he knows he's being a jerk and he thinks it's funny, but it also helps assure Matt that there's at least one person who absolutely knows he's not made out of glass.)
