[video/action] zombie goasts leave this place

[kumagypsy]

[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!]

[Wait are people dying here also. He gives Ghosttora a strange look.]

[kumagypsy]

[She peers over the edge of her blanket.]

...The hell are you starin' at?

[worldrestored]

[Suddenly there's a fairy in front of her.]

Hey, don't talk to him like that or else I'll make you pay for insulting Hitoshura!

[kumagypsy]

[WHY is there a fairy and why is she yelling and doesn't she understand Kumatora has a splitting headache and that's not helping?? Kuma responds with a groan and takes one arm out of her blanket to swat the fairy away.

Her hand is a very non-healthy shade of grey and her fingernails have grown into long claws.]

[worldrestored]

[Too easy to dodge, she just floats upwards in a non-swatable area.]

Oh she's turning into a ghost! I wonder if she'll need to die properly for that to happen...

[kumagypsy]

[Kumatora futility tries to swat at the fairy a few more times but gives up and her arm falls limp to her side.]

The hell are you on about? I'm just really sick, okay?

[worldrestored]

Nuh-uh! Humans don't get sick like that, I know it! Unless you made a pack with a demon, but I doubt that. You sound too stupid for that.

[kumagypsy]

[GLAAARE. She's too fatigued to do anything but oh man she really wishes she had a fly swatter right now. Instead she looked over at the other guy.]

Hey, can you tell your annoying friend to shut up?

[worldrestored]

Pfffft!! [And you get a raspberry for your trouble.]

[Naoki for his part shrugs but then points to her shoulder and she sits down on it, giving the girl a shit-eating grin. But at least she stopped talking!]

[kumagypsy]

[GLARING SOME MORE. At least she can go back to peeking out from under the blanket again.]

Do you guys need something or are you just here to torment the poor sick girl?

[monotreme_101]

You gettin' sick too, huh? I'll bring you some oranges. I don't catch Human colds or whatever so don't worry about that. You gotta get some vitamin C!

[kumagypsy]

Oh man, fresh fruit would taste so good right now. You're my friggin' hero.

[monotreme_101]

Haha! You got it, buddy. I'll bring it by later today.

[Doot doot switch to action

Have a Knuckles wandering into the common room with a bag of oranges over his shoulder.]

Hey, Kuma. The couch comfortable? You need like... more pillows or somethin'?

[Damn. Look at that fetal position and all that.... paleness.]

[kumagypsy]

[Never mind the paleness, what's up with that sudden icy chill in the air?]

Oh my god, food.

[Kumatora seems to spring back to life as she reaches for delicious food. Perhaps she's suffering from scurvy?]

[monotreme_101]

You got it! Dig in!

[He handed over the whole bag for her peeling pleasure and then started to rub at his upper arms.]

Daaaaag... no wonder you got a chill. It's freakin' freezing in here. They got the AC cranked up way, way too high. It's July, I oughta be sweating, not shivering.

[kumagypsy]

[She almost didn't hear him as she tore off a chunk of orange peel and sank her teeth into the delicious fruit, but she was instantly snapped out of food paradise as she took a bite and realized something was very wrong.

She couldn't taste it.]

I-it's cold in here? I didn't... even notice...

[monotreme_101]

Geesh - yeah, buddy. It's freezing.

[He walked over to the nearest air vent and took his glove off. Placing his palm on the grate, he frowned.]

....Huh. Air comin' outta this thing almost feels warm.
