[ The video starts, revealing Chili in his dorm room, only he does not look entirely like himself. His hand recoils from the touchpad on his laptop; the fan of his computer is loud enough for it to be heard whirring as background noise to the video. It is so hot in that dorm room. So hot that it can even be seen. That's probably because the boy right there is kind of on fire. ]

Hey! Okay, I can't be on here for very long, but does anyone know what's going on?! I mean to everyone, really, but... Also, does anyone know what's going on with me?! I can't figure out what I'm turning into!

[ Chili pants a little with a sheepish smile, showing off some sharp teeth. He knocks that off right away because wow, he is not a dog, he is a human. R..ight. Definitely not turning into anything that is a dog. ]

Can I make this go away? I can't touch my laptop for more than necessary because even touching it melts the plastic. I feel like every part of me is on fire and it hurts so bad, I don't know what's going on! I just want to go back to normal! Even Pansear can't stand being around me for too long.

[ Upon hearing his name, Pansear hops up onto the desk and sits next to the camera and waits to help Chili click buttons or whatever he needs. ] And I have the worst headache in the world, nngh... Okay, well that's all. I'll try to reply on my phone when I get out of here. ...Without melting it.

[BACKDATED to the 29th: Kumatora appears on screen, looking a little worse for wear. She's wrapped up in a blanket, pale, and has dark circles under her eyes. Her perpetual bedhead hair looks even messier than usual, sticking out at all angles. Look closely and it almost looks like her hair is wafting slowly in a non-existent breeze... and is it a trick of the light or is it slightly darker at the tips?]

Holy crap, you guys, I dunno what I caught but it's some really gross crud. I hope it's not contagious, but just in case I'm gonna just lay in bed and try not to die. If anybody needs RA stuff, you're gonna have to go find Green. Ughhh. Okay, I'm out. [the video clicks off.]

[ACTION for the next couple of days, Kumatora can be found either in the RA party room, huddled up and shivering in bed, or occasionally lying on a couch somewhere in the same fetal position. By Tuesday, her complexion has become extremely pallid and the air around her is noticeably colder than the rest of the room. Stumble upon her in the dark and you'll find that she's glowing a sickly bluish hue. She almost looks like a g-g-g-ghost!]
