[The fatigue and the feeling of unease from after Lancer woke up following his death on the circus floor hadn't gone away with time. If anything, he just felt even worse. In addition, his feet felt strangely hard and heavy, a feeling that progressed as the day dragged on. Trying to eat and drink, if only to taste strange new foods for this month's menu outright burned his mouth. At this point, he could only conclude something was very wrong.]

[However, as a Servant, he wasn't supposed to be vulnerable to human diseases. This narrowed the cause of his current conditon to either an effect of the Tower's experiment for the month, or the effect of some curse. He just had to figure out which one.]

does anyone else in this tower feel like shit
like, kinda sick
always tired
legs sorta heavy
eating or drinking burns your mouth

Can 'always tired' also mean that you just like sleeping a whole lot?

Re: text;

[puppy_lancer]

i guess
i'm tired even when i don't sleep, though

[oathshackledbird]

I knew something wasn't right with you when we woke up. Did you really need to lie to me? Though, I'm suffering no ill effects from our little....adventure, and I've not run into anyone else who seems to be sick. I'm sorry to say, I don't think this is anything that is tower-wide.

What administrator did you piss off last? I would perhaps look there first.

[puppy_lancer]

hey not even i know what's going on with me
but it's great to know you're okay

no i didn't piss anyone off
not this month

[chainsawn]

I don't know that bad things could also happen to popular people. It always seemed like they never had problems..

[oathshackledbird]

Anyone? Forgive the rudeness, but I find that kind of hard to believe. If not the administrators, perhaps another person in the tower?

And forgive me if I sound repetitive here, but have you tried using your runes to reverse whatever is going on?

[puppy_lancer]

well i did prank someone
but it was funny
ruana approved

not yet
not until i have a good idea what's going on
but the way you say it
it sounds like i got cursed or something

[puppy_lancer]

i'd say my problem is smaller than the problems that other people have
but occasionally bad things happen to popular people too
they just deal with it really quickly
so it doesn't look like a bad thing

[vermicompost]

[Here's someone who feels like shit, but that's just normal.]

I don't feel any different from usual.

Is there anything I can do to help?

[puppy_lancer]

i dunno
maybe
i'm gonna see if i can deal with it by myself first
but thanks for the offer

[vermicompost]

It could be the start of another experiment. Or did something strange happen to you on one of the new floors?

[Something strange happened to him.]

[puppy_lancer]

yeah
but my roommate was on the same floor
same thing happened to him
he says he's fine
he also says the rest of the tower is fine
so it's probably not an experiment

[chainsawn]

I see. But that's still pretty amazing, isn't it? I don't know how people are able to deal with a problem that quickly, it must be some special skill only popular people have.

[vermicompost]

I know some healers here. There's Ishtar and Raphael. Maybe one of them can help you.

[Kariya knows about healers. He can hook you up.]

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko's looking rather..worried there. She usually doesn't even use the video function, but she wanted to make sure that her friend was alright.]

Lancer..I feel alright, but that doesn't sound good. Maybe one of the residents did that to you. Where are you right now? I'll rush over and help you out.

[puppy_lancer]

maybe it is
i've definitely got some special skills

[They're Servant skills, though. Not popular people skills.]

video

[puppy_lancer]

[When the feed switches on, Lancer looks much less energetic than he usually is.]

Nah, it takes quite a bit of work to affect me. If anyone were capable of that, you probably wouldn't be able to help.

[puppy_lancer]

really?
guess i'll ask around for them

[Only as a last resort, though. He doesn't know how good they are with breaking curses.]

[Video]

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko notices that Lancer is less energetic, and it does not help stop her worrying. However, she'll sigh and scratch her head when she heard that.]

Maybe..but I could at least make you feel better with some medicine or something. And if you can guess as to who did this to you, I could talk with them and find out why they did this!

[oathshackledbird]

[It's really a shame that rolling eyes can't be conveyed over a text message because Diarmuid is rolling his. Hard.]

Ruana approved? Doesn't that ring warning bells to you? Like "Oh, lets have him do it because it will cause him all kinds of trouble!" warning bells?

And yes, it sounds a lot like a curse to me now that you say it. Who exactly did you prank? Was it someone who might be able to curse you or might have had friends who could?

Re: [Video]

[puppy_lancer]

No, don't.

[His refusal is very firm.]

You'd probably get hurt. I'll go talk to them by myself.

[Video]

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko sighed again at that statement. Lancer, Tohko can be very, very stubborn when she wanted to be.]

I might be..but I don't mind if I do, if I'm able to help you out. And you probably shouldn't be dealing with a situation like that in your condition. You'll get even more banged up than I would.

[That's not true..but that's Tohko's guess.]

[puppy_lancer]

she's not that type of person
well it's this guy called ganondorf
he calls himself the great king of evil
and has a sense of interior decoration to match

[oathshackledbird]

I hate to argue with you, but you don't know that! I may be new here, but some people say she is worse than Jason is. I really don't know how you can trust any of them to be anything other than cruel and our captors.

Let me get this right....you pranked someone who calls himself 'the great kind of evil.'

Are you insane?

Re: [Video]

[puppy_lancer]

I don't that. I'm a hero. Even when I'm sick, I can still take down an entire army.

[However, it's obvious he's bluffing.]
