Event Log: Flu Season

[hadrielmods]

Who: All characters
What: The event log for the Flu Season event
Where: All over the city
When: March 20th-March 30th
Warnings: Gross sneezing, sick people, and paranoia

It starts with a cough, a sneeze, a sore throat - something small and simple, easily ignored. But then your symptoms get worse. It's probably been awhile since you've been sick, that sort of thing doesn't usually happen here. You might be able to raid the shops for some tissues and tea before it gets too bad, and hopefully you've got a friend to help out until you get better. Surely it'll be over soon, right?

Until the fever sets in, and you start to understand why your friend is really there. They don't want to take care of you. They want to make sure this is the last anyone will ever see of you. They want to learn all your secrets. They want to steal your most precious possession. You know they're plotting against you, you know they're keeping something from you. What will you do to find out what it is?

Then, as the sickness fades, you realize it was all in your mind. Let's hope you didn't do or say anything too awful. But that friend of yours... they seem to have picked up your cough. Maybe you should help them out?

[He can see Kate speaking to him. It's pretty hard to miss given her positioning right in front of him. But with the flu it feels like he sees her mouth move long before he actually hears what she's saying.

Normally, even if he were ill, his answer would be something more even handed. A 'I feel well enough to work' type answer.

But before he can even consider a response, his mouth has already blurted out a defensive]

Why?

( Rosen. Rosen please. She's all for working yourself to the bone but dragging your contagious germs into the clinic is not what this place needs right now. )

You noticed you're sick?

( But Kate, can the sarcasm when you respond. It's not helpful. )

...

[Rosen eases back in his chair, eyes narrowing]

That's not something for you to worry about, Kate.

[Why the sudden interest in his health?]

[dedikated]

( Germs. In the clinic. Around her. )

Do work here. In the clinic.

( Her words are sharp, pointed directly at him with a lack of patience towards any of this, but even as she says the words they feel off in the same way her presence so often does here.

But this isn't the time to think about that. )

So, aye. 'Tis.
