{Eleven (39)} &diams It's not easy being (human)

[burnt_orangesky]

[This entry appears late morning. The writing is shaky and somewhat less bold than usual, as though she isn't pressing her pen into the page very firmly.]

Bridge, I am afraid I do not feel very well at all; I shall be absent from the Yard today and perhaps a few more days as well. I am not entirely sure at this time.

Youth, my apologies for not showing up at our training session this morning; I shall have to make it up later, I suppose.

Bastet, as things stand I will be unable to collect from the current Wilderness, sorry for giving you such short notice.

[Pause] Genius, would you mind stopping by at some point today?

-Fred

Snake-hair again? Or is it just the flu?

[in other words: Fred, obviously you're not ok, so I'm concerned and want to know what's wrong, but won't say so easily.]

[burnt_orangesky]

I [pause] am not entirely sure. [Paaaause] I suppose it might be the flu.

[In other words I don't want you to worry about me, but there's no way in hell I'm saying 'one of my hearts stopped beating' over the journals.]

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

You...suppose.
- Cold-symptoms?
- Fever?
- Clammy skin?
- Nausea?

[burnt_orangesky]

Well, I am hardly going to remember ever experiencing a flu before, now am I?

A bit. [Best she can do right now... she's feeling too washed out to try being clever.]

[spandexisyouth]

Bell is being rude. Do not listen to him.

I will bring something over. What would you like?

[burnt_orangesky]

...I am sure that whatever you wish to bring will be fine, Youth.

[spandexisyouth]

If you are feeling ill I want to bring something that you want.

[burnt_orangesky]

[Slight pause] In that case, I suppose you could bring me soup of some kind.

[live_ringer]

Feeling under the weather, hm? [Or, Gene thinks, suffering a memory punishment but he won't write as much over the journal.]

Don't worry, we'll hold down the fort at the Yard. Maybe get the new people to pick up the slack.

[burnt_orangesky]

I am quite certain you will all be able to manage without my presence for a few days.

[live_ringer]

At the vary least, we'll be sure to keep the place from exploding until you return.

[ghost_of_00]

[No reply, but 00 will stay home to make tea and mostly-Japanese food for her and have pink!Haro watch Genius when he comes.

Hopefully her arm will stay firmly attached today.]

[burnt_orangesky]

[Fred will be very grateful for both the food and the tea, and will be sure to thank 00 for everything.

...and it would be nice if it would stay that way, yes.]

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Sure... that's cool...

[burnt_orangesky]

Hopefully it will not be for too very long.

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

No worries.

... I'm not sure I wanna work, either.

My powers are gone and it's really, really weird.

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

Are you feeling ok, woman-friend?

[burnt_orangesky]

Not especially, no.

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

[Concerned man-friend is concerned]

On a scale from 1 to 10, 1 being sniffles, 10 being "oh God oh God we're all gonna die"...where are you?

[desig-survivor.livejournal.com]

If it gets any worse, go to the Clinic.

[burnt_orangesky]

[Assuming this is after she's figured out what's 'wrong' with her...]

I rather doubt they could do anything to help, actually, but I thank you for your concern, Rogue.

[desig-survivor.livejournal.com]

Just take it easy, all right?

I have no idea if anything's changed here. Most of what people say about Corellians is stereotype or outright false. [Stereotype which he tends to fit exceptionally well.]

[treeleopardess]

Don't worry about it. It seems to be going around.

[burnt_orangesky]

So I gather. [Pause] Forgive my curiosity, but are you one of the affected?

[treeleopardess]

No, thankfully. But of those from my world who are...I can still sense them, but the sensation is much weaker. On the level of average humans.
