∞ 19: Declining health [action/voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

[There's a series of weak, hollow coughs, followed by dry swallowing sounds.]

Hot... It's so hot. Nngh... The healing-- it didn't help... It still hurts.

Caesar, I need ... water.


What's happening to me?

[ooc: Advancement of the virus. Thought it would make sense if he's the first to get worse -- weakened immune system + recent injuries + fatigue = quicker succumbing to symptoms.]

You too, huh?

A lot of people are getting this. Just rest, okay?

I think it's an experiment, but I'm not positive.

[voiced]

[chikaidestroyer]

I feel ... worse than I did last night. I don't like it.

But I was already like this. I was already in pain.

[voiced]

[corrinesbell]

It doesn't sound like any fun. People are getting sick, Albert, and with what just happened to you, you're probably a great target for it.

[voiced]

[chikaidestroyer]

Sick? How sick...?

Did the Malnosso-- did they say anything?

[voiced]

[corrinesbell]

Achy and feverish. Kinda like a really bad flu, I think.

...And no. They didn't. But it'd be like them to say nothing, wouldn't it, with the way people reacted to the one where we all thought we weren't warned?

[voiced]

[chikaidestroyer]

It's so ... sudden, though. The Malnosso ... would have had to introduce the sickness somewhere. Somehow.

You're not sick, are you?

[voiced]

[corrinesbell]

They can come into the village any time they please without us noticing. It wouldn't really be that hard for them to do this.

Not yet. ...I'm not trying to fool myself, though.

[voiced]

[chikaidestroyer]

I... Yes, you're right. Of course, that makes sense.

Be careful. If you fall ill ... be near someone.

[voiced]

[corrinesbell]

It doesn't make sense unless it's an experiment.

You just worry about not getting worse. Anything I can do?

[voiced]

[chikaidestroyer]

What if... No. No, I suppose that would still be an experiment.

Make sure Caesar gets sleep. He doesn't need to get sick, too.
