)(i, tower. I don't remember if I )(ad any plans to )(ang out with anyguppy, but as tempting as it is to dive into a pile of people and stay t)(ere, it's probubbly not so smart. I'm s)(ore it's just t)(e weat)(er and t)(e food getting to me, but I don't feel so w)(ale. I've never caug)(t a )(uman sickness before, so I don't know w)(at to do and w)(at not to do about it.

T)(e last time I reely got sick was when I caught t)( t)(at fis)( flu t)(at went around a w)(ile back, but t)(ere wasn't muc)( to do about t)(at otter t)(an to stay out of t)(e water because your gills just got gunked up if you stayed in t)(ere too long. Not being able to breat)(e t)(roug)( t)(ose sucks w)(en you're underwater. So maybe snuggling up wit)( otter people will )(elp? Or somefin...

Does anyguppy know if t)(e restaurant is open and w)(at t)(ey're asking for rig)(t now? Maybe eating somefin besides t)(ese stupid bars will kelp a little.

[ooc translation: 'Hi, tower. I don't remember if I had any plans to hang out with anyguppy, but as tempting as it is to dive into a pile of people and stay there, it's probubbly not so smart.

The last time I reely got sick was when I caught that fish flu that went around a while back, but there wasn't much to do about it otter than to stay out of the water because your gills just got gunked up if you stayed in there too long.

Does anyguppy know if the restaurant is open and what they're asking for right now? Maybe eating somefin besides these stupid bars will kelp a little.]

[... okay that took a second for him to read - but no Feferi!! Have a worried KoG, Fef --]

Do you need me to come over?
I can try and get something from that restaurant along the way, or find something else...

[She really doesn't look good in the video back; she's brought her blankets with her and even then, she looks like she needs to be back in bed and not sitting up typing.]

I don't want to make you sick, though... but someone else made the point that I should probably at least try and make sure I'm not getting dehydrated or anything...

[[Rose has got this. Survival skills - especially dealing with sickness - is her thing, man.]]

Well first of all you should discern if you have a fever or not, which you will likely need the help of another person if you don't have a thermometer handy.
Bringing fevers down is extremely important before anything else.
After that, you should be sure to drink plenty of water or juice. Stay hydrated.
Do you have a sore throat or aches or anything?
After the first two points, any other advice depends on what kinds of symptoms you're afflicted with.

[cullscuttlefish]

I'll see if one of my roommates can c)(eck for me. I definitely don't feel like I did a couple days ago, t)(oug)(. I could deal wit)( t)(e temperature okay if I layered up, but now, I don't feel like I can reely get warm. C)(ills aren't good, I remember t)(at from t)(e otter kind of flu.

I feel like I got )(it by a falling rock or somefin. Everyfin )(urts from my )(ead to my stomac)(, and I'm sneezing and coug)(ing.

[ceasetoexist]

I don't know if it's open but if it is see if you can get soup.

Best thing to eat when you've got a cold.

[Okay he understood most of that...]

What do you eat normally?

[cullscuttlefish]

Pretty muc)( anyfin. I lived by and in t)(e ocean, so a lot of fis)( normally, but I'm not a picky eater at all. Is t)(ere somefin betta I s)(ould be looking for?

[idolizer]

[ Ah, roomate... she immediately picks up when she sees the message. ]

Can you tell me the symptoms? I would bring water to you, and perhaps stop by the restaurant later.

[cullscuttlefish]

I'm reely sorry, Sayaka! I )(ope I don't make you and Colette and Sayaka sick. 38(

I've got a reely bad case of t)(e c)(ills t)(at I t)(ink is probubbly a fever. Everyfin )(urts, but my )(ead and my t)(roat are t)(e worst. My stomac)('s kind of upset, and I'm coug)(ing and sneezing a lot.

[worldend_dominator]

A human sickness? So you mean there is so sort of disease going around the tower that infects several different species?

[cullscuttlefish]

I'm not s)(ore about t)(at. I just know t)(at t)(is isn't like anyfin I've ever been sick wit)( before, and doing a quick searc)( )(ere brings up more )(uman symptoms t)(an troll ones.

Ah, Young Empress it has been awhile since Your text has appeared on the network.
Though such unfortunate news You have brought us.
Sickness You say?
Do You require any assistance?

[cullscuttlefish]

I'm sorry! I )(ope I )(aven't worried anemoneone. It seems like every time I've wanted to say somefin on t)(e network, it's been down or not working right. 38(

Yea)(. W)(atever t)(is is, it's )(itting pretty )(ard. I t)(ink it mig)(t be from t)(e sudden c)(anges in t)(e weat)(er, but I don't reely know )(ow to )(andle t)(is. Back )(ome, if it's somefin t)(at I caug)(t on land, being underwater normally kelped me feel betta, and if I caug)(t it underwater, being on land would kelp. But with ice over most of t)(e water, I don't know how safe it is to try and duck underwater till I'm feeling betta.

I think when you're sick, you're supposed to stay in bed.

.. That's what my parents always said.

Re: text;

[cullscuttlefish]

I'm gonna go on back t)(ere soon. I'm just worried about making my roommates sick, if t)(is is somefin t)(at isn't just t)(e cold making me sick. 38(

[Ahh oh no... the last thing anyone wants in this kind of weather is the flu..]

If you think you're sick, you should go lay down, Feferi-hime. The rapidly dropping temperature is most likely one of the main reasons why you're sick in the first place, so it would be wise to try to stay as warm as possible. I'll bring over my blanket to help keep your body temperature up, okay?

[cullscuttlefish]

[She looks awful when the video pops on: her hair is a mess, she's sniffling and coughing, the works.]

You don't need to do that. Koujirou's getting some things together to bring me tea, and I'll make sure to bundle up in extra clothes and things. If the weather's what's making people sick, then you need to keep your own temperature up.

[yougotthatwrong]

...well, I think they have soup up there, but I'm not really sure on what they want in exchange.

[cullscuttlefish]

If all else fails, t)(en it's wort)( a s)(ot going up t)(ere. I don't like not knowing w)(at t)(ey'll want, but.

[ghostytrainer]

you too, huh?
it's probably just the weather, i almost always get sick this time of year, personally and it seems that this year is no exception. hahaha.
just take it easy for a couple of days and you should start to feel better. you will be surprised how much a difference something as simple as sleep can make.
i would say make some soup but that doesn't seem to be possible right now.
maybe the infirmary has some cough syrup?

[cullscuttlefish]

At least I'm not t)(e only one suffering. It sucks giant barnacles being t)(is sick, t)(oug)(.

I t)(ink some folks are working on t)(e soup part, t)(oug)(. I know t)(ey're working on tea, at least. I'll be )(appy w)(en t)(e bass)(oles running t)(is plaice decide not to turn us all into people-sicles.

...t)(ink it'll work on trolls? 38|

[text] so late sorry

[warriorscribe]

*Okay. It takes him a long while of sorting out the makeshift letters and mouthing fish puns, and then reading all the replies to finally get the context.*

We often drank a little wine in my world to feel warmer, or to help us rest when we were ill, but there is none here. Try to stay warm and do not strain yourself. Drink when you feel you must. The water here can still run warm, if that is more comfortable for you.

Has anyone gone to the restaurant for this person's sake? If you already have, I am willing to help you search for what they asked for.
