Video 11 → Flu Season.

[irregular]

[This isn't so much an accidental video as it is a deeply impulsive one, because some people never learn. The feed clicks on to show Ken, still dressed in a coat and scarf with snow melting on his shoulders, standing in an apartment kitchen surrounded by brown paper shopping bags, holding the camera about a foot or so from his face.]

Hey, guys. I have a question.

[Serious face on.]

Is it starve a fever and feed a cold? Or is it the other way round? See, my roommate's sick and I just got all this stuff and I don't normally - I don't get colds so I'm kinda... what do you do for them? Should she be eating or not and is packet soup okay, I'm not that great at cooking or anything so I don't wanna poison her and - and maybe I should call a doctor.

Okay. Is there a doctor out there? Who isn't Muraki? I think I need a doctor. Not for me!

[Ken may or may not have relaxed a little at that.]

Right. Good. That's... good to know, Aya. Do you want me to ask if he'll take a look at Omi, too?

[beyondweiss.livejournal.com]

I'd appreciate that actually.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'll mention it when he shows up... How is he, anyway? Omi, I mean.

[beyondweiss.livejournal.com]

He's had better days.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

He's not getting worse, is he?

[beyondweiss.livejournal.com]

Everyone seems to be getting worse.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

So that's a yes, then?

[beyondweiss.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

I'll tell the doctor. Maybe he'll be able to give him something. I mean, if it's the same thing...

[beyondweiss.livejournal.com]

Let's just hope this doesn't get worse.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

Well... it's a cold, right? How long do they normally last, about a week?

[beyondweiss.livejournal.com]

That depends on if this place is responsible or not.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

... you think that's it? It's the place that's doing it? I thought it was just the weather.

[Well, that's a new angle. Not a good one, either. Oh, great.]

[beyondweiss.livejournal.com]

With all I've seen here, I wouldn't be surprised if this place managed to get people sick.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

I know I'm sick of it.

[Well, it had to be said.]

So... what's that mean, then, they're gonna be ill for weeks? When's the new moon?

[beyondweiss.livejournal.com]

Keep an eye out for things. This could be an omen.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

Yeah... Guess I should just be glad we haven't caught it. So far.

[Touch wood.]
