It's really gross for all of you to be coughing and sneezing all over your journals. Can any of you promise that this thing can't be passed through magic paper? No, I didn't think so. If I see any of you doing it in the halls, you're getting punched.

Is there a pool around here?

Is this what dying feels like? [a wet cough] I'm not an expert, but the last I heard, coughing blood was a bad sign. I thought keeping away from those who were ill would be effective; looks like it's more contagious than I thought.

[a crackling sound, and a few scorch marks on the page]

Ah. Yet another reason why it's a bad idea to be anywhere near me right now.

Fluids and rest

[wutmullet.livejournal.com]

Hey, medical people! What do you do when someone is sick? I know I've read you guys say "fluids and rest" but what fluids? Can't I do more to help my friends feel better?

I'm pretty sure this is one of those things that happen when you have a heart, 'cause I don't remember ever getting sick as a Nobody.

As a bit of a rough estimate, it seems that, at minimum, 66 per cent of the castle has taken down ill. I wonder how much longer until it starts reaching 90 per cent.

I'm surprised very few people have concluded that you all must've caught something. Considering the fact we were all human recently, AND that there were a high quantity of mosquitoes and unclean water... well, the most logical conclusion is that a grand majority of us were infected with some sort of disease. Something in the bloodstream or the intestinal track, perhaps.

Let's hope this doesn't turn into another Raccoon City.

No one knows how contagious this is, nor how it's transmitted. Who knows with this place... it may just be luck of the draw. So let's all listen to our mothers for once and play it safe:

Don't share food or drinks with others.

Wash your hands.

If anything looks or feels questionable, leave it alone and get someone with medical knowledge. However varied that may be in this place.

And stay away from those who are sick unless you're trying to help them. Even then, use common sense.

The virus also seems to have infected at least a few townspeople, so perhaps it's something more natural than assignation by the castle.

Scene 5; Goodnight

[Heavy breathing is recorded now, very different from what he's been doing all day. Here we find no sparkles, no large orange text, and barely a voice at all as his activities catch up with him.]

... I-I... I should have... done better. What was I thinking...?

[There's a thud here. Hamlet is now on his knees. A few drops of sweat hit the page as he leans over the book, still breathing heavily. This is no act.]

I think I need.... some help. Akito, not you... You're sick... But, someone, please...

[The voice is reduced to a whisper now.]

... Please... I can't move anymore... I can't even... get... to my...

... room...

[A louder thud is heard now, the rest of Hamlet collapsing to the side of the book. He can still speak, but he can no longer move, and anyone talking to him will be hard-pressed to hear him.]

((OOC: This is what he gets for going two days without sleep, doing tons of strenuous work, and only taking in a granola bar, a glass of water, and half a cup of coffee. He's in a random hallway, and hasn't sat down for a day now. It's a miracle he's lasted that long, especially since he's kind of on wheels right now... sort of. Anyone, feel free to find him~? If no one does, he's gonna be unconscious soon. ♥))

I didn't realize the whole castle was sick. Is everyone sick in the same way?

At least we stocked up on chicken noodle soup and cough drops.

[flamingking.livejournal.com]

Everyone who has AT and/or superior speed: Those of us who aren't sick should make an effort to carry supplies and such things to where they're needed. I'm a little under the weather myself (not sick, just tired), so I don't really want to deal directly with sick people or too much lifting, but what I can do I will, and I think the rest of us should as well. Consider it an emergency first-aid courier service!

[collegegeekboy.livejournal.com]

{dictated very slowly with a very very slightly shaking voice}

Whatever is happening to people... It's not normal, it's not a plague, but it is dangerous. I'm not sure if the castle is messing with us again, or if it's something else. Again, whatever it is isn't natural.

Sick should be dealt with be professional so other people who don't know what they're doing don't risk getting sick. I understand people wanting to help those they're close to. But if you have to, make sure to be careful in what you do. I don't know how things handle over these journals, but because people are coughing over them you should probably be careful even just handling them.

Body's..... Should be dealt with carefully considering they'll probably still have a virus in them.

So there's something going around yeah? And no-one knows what it is, right? And knowing this place it could be something really scary and frightening and we've had enough problems as it is.

Even-sensei wants a few blood samples so he can have a look at what's going on, but he only got one volunteer.

I don't know if anyone's even going to read this and take notice, but I'm asking you, please please if you don't feel well, can you speak to Even-sensei?? I know people are worried, but what would happen if it got worse, or mutated or something and started killing others?? Wouldn't you feel better knowing that if you gave some of your blood you could help prevent that?


I don't know.... if people don't want to .... I understand...

Please??? おねがいします！ ONEGAISHIMASU!

Y'know, it might be a good idea if some people'd volunteer to give a sample of their blood or whatever to that Even guy, considering he's hunting for a cure and all. Heh, Perceptor would be having a field day here, studying everything. Wonder if this is what having cosmic rust felt like...?
