Day 201 [event post]

Who: Zahi and everyone who wants to go hunt down the cure
Open: Open
When: 201- onwards
Where: the monument, and then out on the Skyway
What: People in the Bastion are falling sick, and Zahi knows where a cure can be found. Unfortunately, it won't be easy to get to.
Format: action
Warnings: none

[On Day 201, after several people have fallen ill, another meeting is called. This time, however, it is not Nathaniel who has called for everyone. It's Zahi.]

Okay, I know everyone's been worried about the people in the hospital, and it looks like our fears weren't unfounded: some of the people who went on that last trip, they caught something.

I've been watching the symptoms, and I think I know what this is. A long time ago, back before Zayna was born, there was a terrible illness that claimed the lives of many Ura. Everyone who fell sick here, they had the same symptoms as those who caught the disease before.

On the plus side, this means that it can be cured. I know of a clinic, way out in the Terminals, where there should be some medicine stocked. Not only can we cure the sick, but we can give another kind of medicine to those who aren't sick yet, so they won't catch it at all.

The downside is that it's gonna take a while to get there. It'll be at least two days there, and possibly more to track down exactly where the clinic is, and then the same amount of time back. We're looking at a four-day minimum, which means we won't be much help to those who are sick right now. They'll either be dead or getting better by the time we get back.

Then there's the fact that it's really dangerous out there. Zayna and I were out on the Terminals before we came here, and let's just say that there's a reason we went looking for somewhere safer to stay.

If you'd rather stay here, I can understand that. The Bastion is an amazing place, and I wouldn't be surprised if someone here managed to save everyone. But I'm not a fan of putting all my eggs in one basket, so I figured it's worth a shot to go and try to get some of the medicine.

What do you guys think?

Would you rather I refer to you as a him then if that would make you more comfortable?

...but we really do need to get you into the bath.
notduchess: (If that's the order...)

[personal profile] notduchess 2014-06-27 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
.. I guess

[ Its confusing and not something Duke had even thought about worrying about, honestly.

And so after a moment Duke reluctantly sheds the blanket. That bath better be warm or so help her-

fuckthemancers: (I set my sail)

[personal profile] fuckthemancers 2014-06-27 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
We can talk all about that sort of thing if you manage to not die.

[What comforting bedside manner, right?]

[But Zulf does go to help her out a bit more, very politely not looking at her body once he's gotten through with her clothes and being careful where he puts his hands. The bathwater is checked to make sure it's warm enough before he starts to help her in.]


Let me know if you think you're going to faint or otherwise, alright?
notduchess: (Down)

[personal profile] notduchess 2014-06-27 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
[ That works. Later. With that nice big if. ]

Alert if I fall asleep, okay.

[ There's a hint of snark to that. Warmwater feels better, even if the knight is self-consciously crossing arms over chest. ]

... just sitting?
fuckthemancers: (ask-zulf) (Why is there a blood covered)

[personal profile] fuckthemancers 2014-06-27 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
Just sitting should be fine.

...If I try to scrub you, are you going to be just as uncomfortable?
notduchess: (Feeling sick totally not embarrassed)

[personal profile] notduchess 2014-06-27 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ Good question.

Short answer - yes. No one else has in forever.

Long answer - yes, but it might be worth it.

... hair would be nice.
fuckthemancers: (feastings) (I really just want to stuff him in my)

[personal profile] fuckthemancers 2014-06-27 08:21 am (UTC)(link)
We'll start there.

[There's a small cup he uses to gather up water, making sure to get her hair thoroughly wet.]

Does the heat feel better?
notduchess: (Down)

your icon looks like he has a bloody nose. i should sleep-

[personal profile] notduchess 2014-06-27 08:26 am (UTC)(link)
Yes

[ Duke would have nodded, but that would be a bad idea, and a mmm of yes might have started coughing.

There's a lot of hair, Zulf, have fun.

fuckthemancers: (panorama-carnival) (please dont make me drink to the)

wow no i have a different icons for bloodied up zulf

[personal profile] fuckthemancers 2014-06-27 11:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Good mother, you anime-jrpg types and your obnoxious amounts of hair]

[At least Zulf is determined to get through it.]


Do you think you can keep awake until I'm done?
notduchess: (Down)

I meant like bloody perv nose-

[personal profile] notduchess 2014-06-28 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ Isn't it lovely though?

Duke gives a short grunt.
]

Try.
fuckthemancers: (I found the pot of gold last night)

WOW where is your brain

[personal profile] fuckthemancers 2014-06-28 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
...I'll try to wake you up if I notice something's wrong.
notduchess: (Lemme thi- how about no)

It was mostly gone, run off with Zulf washing a (confused, sick) lady-

[personal profile] notduchess 2014-06-28 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
Cold'd do it quick.

[ Zulf might also run risk of getting hit of he splashed her with cold water to try to wake her up.

Duke will focus on staying head out of water and mostly still. Except for the occasional coughing fit, not much happens on her end. Getting a hairwash from someone seems to be keeping her fairly awake.
