[ From the looks of the video feed, Hilda is in the kitchen of her apartment. The sounds that come from the feed indicate that there is indeed something on the stove. Hilda herself looks nervous ... and a little worried. ]

So, Vatheon gives us things we need to survive, right?

Does this include cold medication? Like, coughing, sneezing cold medication.

[ Spoilers: She's not asking for herself. ]



( ooc: ohhhh yeah, I should probably mention that this post is backdated to during this log. )

[Walter knows this one! He was quite excited to discover it too since they've become regulated back home. He can always synthesize his own amphetamines of course, but it's difficult without a lab and equipment.]

Why, yes it does! I found some with ephedrine in them here in the grocery store.

[Don't ask what he did with them. Just don't.]

[ She generally doesn't know what's in cold medication, she just knows she needs some. Hilda smiles sheepishly at the man on the screen. ]

Ah, well ... thank you. I don't know about the ephedrine thing, but a friend of mine caught a cold, so I'm trying to help him out a bit.

The store just off the plaza has the best selection. Don't get any of the toaster pastries, though. They're terrible for you.

[ Toaster Pastries? What do they have to do with anythin-- you know, she's just not going to wonder about this. She nods. ]

Thank you, sir ... I guess it's a good thing I don't need toaster pastries?

Potassium bromate... what were they thinking?

[They were likely just trying to match Earth's toaster pastries, but Walter doesn't care.]

Oh! Do tell me if you see any lemon coolers while you're there, won't you dear?

[Now Bianca is looking a bit suspicious]

They should but...why are you asking that?

[video]

[ourlegends]

N caught a cold. I'm heating up some soup for him right now, but obviously that isn't going to be enough.

[video]

[ourfirststeps]

Then what about some blankets or turning up the heat? That should work too right?

[If it's going to be ike that, might as well make it into a sauna]

Or we can always use our pokemon as a source of heat!

He was cuddling with Zoroark, covered in multiple blankets, and he was still shivering ... I climbed in bed with them to help out, and he finally started warming up more after that.

[ Hilda, do you even know how that would sound out of context? ]

But it's not just the shivers ... he's actually got a fever, and he says his throat is sore. So, he feels chills and all that, but at the same time he's feverish.

If you touch the coral, it'll heal any illnesses and rejuvenate you. [ Since Saber knows that, she can't imagine a need for cold medicine, but.. ] I'd still imagine some store carries such items around here. Are you unwell, Hilda?

( video )

[ourlegends]

It will? I mean, I think I remember hearing that when I first arrived, and I know we all have to go touch it every so often so we don't get sick ourselves, but ...

[ She shakes her head at her question. ]

No, Ms. Saber. It's not me. It's N.

[pendragon]

Aye, wounds, too. [ Saber's head tilts as she hears it's N. ..Is it the curse? ] ..What are his symptoms?

[ourlegends]

He says he has a sore throat, and he's feverish. He's been getting the same chills that seem to be going around the city, though.

[ Her own period of relief from the cold seems to be wearing off rather quickly. Her own shivers are starting up again. Hilda tries to ignore them though, in lieu of being worried about her roommate. ]

[creative_lovebug]

I think there are shops where you can purchase such items. Yet, we cannot stop the curses from happening unfortunately. Have you got a cold by any chance? [Just an inkling from what you've been saying, Hilda.]

[ourlegends]

[ She shakes her head at the feed. ]

I don't have a cold, Burgh. N does. There's not a lot he can do to help himself right now, it's hit him hard enough to have him bedridden.

[creative_lovebug]

Oh, I see. Forgive me then. I am sorry to hear that N has a cold, as this curse really is a pain. [It did make him angry that Vatheon dished out these curses without a thought to it's residents.]

Perhaps I could offer some help?

[ourlegends]

Yeah ... these curse things seem to happen really frequently, don't they? We just had one not too long ago, and now another one.

[ She's afflicted by it, too, don't be fooled. ]

I would appreciate the help, really. What kind of help are you offering?

[thegoldenchild]

[Gold knows nothing about what this city holds, but he knows when there is a problem.]

Are you cold to? Is something wrong?

[ourlegends]

Ah, well ... yeah, I am. But my friend N actually got sick from the cold. I'm asking for his sake.

[ Welcome to Vatheon, bro. ]

[thegoldenchild]

That's not a good sign. Is there anything I can do to help?

[ourlegends]

I think I can handle it for the most part ... but if there's anything you can help with, I'll be sure to let you know.

[rebull]

Yeah, it'd be pretty bad if they didn't, heh, just letting us get sick. There was this one time where everyone was just sick in different ways. Curse I think, pretty bad.

[ourlegends]

I figured there was a chance of it, I just haven't really had a reason to specifically look for cold medication in stores until now ...

... sick in different ways? That sounds pretty terrible ...

[rebull]

Yeah, uh, some people had bad headaches, other headaches and nauseous, hives, a bunch of things all at once. Not one of the uh, most forgiving curses, heh.

[ourlegends]

Is that what's going on now? My friend and I both have felt cold, but I don't feel sick, and my friend definitely does.
