[As the post crackled on, all that could be heard at first was raspy dry breathing] Haaa... haaaa... I wonder, who is still around down here? I don't envy the seadwellers... hot as it is for me. Haa...

Karkat, our- we should still meet.

[Oh no, no ho ho... Aradia is really concerned with the way Handmaid's sounds. She thinks that she's really physically hurt, not yet connecting it with the curse.]

What happened?

[video]

[the_demonmaid]

[She fumbled for a moment to turn the video on, her flushed facing coming on after a bit] Aradia. Ah, hello.

You've become ill?

[Mom... Mom. Mom.

And she also feels really great that she was pushed up to the island before this happened.]

[video]

[the_demonmaid]

I don't get sick. It's not- [Her voice rasped in her throat, sounding as if she was losing it] Must be something else.

[hexywitch]

Are you all right? You must be...Aradia's ancestor?

[withoutasign]

[Signless' voice is rougher and raspier than usual, bearing a suspicious resemblance to Karkat's normal voice, but still recognizably his.]

Handmaid? Are you feeling all right?

[Youuu... cannot fool her!]

You just don't start losing your voice, obviously you are sick!

[bestestfurrend]

Miss Demoness?

[the_demonmaid]

[She chuckled, coughing slightly] I'm fine. This is nothing. If I can still hold my eyes open, then there is nothing wrong.

[the_demonmaid]

Indeed. And who might you be? [Curiouser and curiouser. Who else did her little descendant know?]

voice;

[the_demonmaid]

Ah, I can hear it in your voice as well. [There was a rustling noise, her sitting down and leaning back against something as she sighed in relief] I am fine.

[the_demonmaid]

Yes, Miss Nepeta? [How cute.]

[hexywitch]

My name is Lily. Lily Evans. I've just returned from a trip back home. What should I call you, then?

[bestestfurrend]

You don't sound furry good. Are you okay?

voice;

[withoutasign]

You don't sound fine. You sound as if you've taken ill as well.

[voice/private]

[aim_exorable]

You're sick.

[Blunt and to the point.]

Regardless of what your body is and is not capable of normally, this place has means of distorting that.

If we met, I could make a proper diagnosis.

[voice/private]

[the_demonmaid]

Ha... ha ha ha. [That's a weary chuckle] I appreciate the concern but I am fine. As long as I can keep my eyes open, I can take any possible threat. Forcibly being trained by a demon does have its perks.

[the_demonmaid]

I will be fine. Don't worry about this.

voice;

[the_demonmaid]

I've gone through worse discomfort in my training. This is nothing.

[the_demonmaid]

You may choose between the Handmaid and the Demoness. Either are names trolls of Alternia whisper in dark rooms.

[bestestfurrend]

But you might be sick! You should rest and stay warm!

[voice/private]

[aim_exorable]

[...why are all the trolls he knows stubborn and stupid as hell?]

And if you get worse?

[A few sounds can be heard on this end, starts of what might be words, raspier even than hers. Despite a number of tries, no full sentence manages to get spoken.]

[bethehugejerk]

SCREW IT, I'M USING TEXT.
DO YOU REALLY THINK THIS IS THE TIME TO BE TRAINING WHEN THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A CURSE GOING ON?
YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING OR OTHER FROM THE SOUND OF IT, AND HERE I HAVE APPARENTLY LOST MY VOICE AND MY THROAT'S SORE AS HELL.
BUT YOU STILL SOUND WORSE THAN ME.
AND BLAH BLAH I KNOW YOUR TRAINING WAS STRICT BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD PUSH YOURSELF TO TEACH ME WHEN YOU SHOULD PROBABLY BE RESTING.

[voice/private]

[the_demonmaid]

Then I get worse. As long as I don't die, I am fine. And it's impossible unless it's a mini-Condesce inside of me. [She chuckled dryly, coughing a little]
