( When the camera clicks on, it is to reveal Ms. McElraft sitting at an unfamiliar desk, eyes bloodshot, nose as red as the proverbial reindeer, hair dishevelled and clad in a set of buttercup-yellow pajamas with bunnies embroidered on the breast pocket. Tissue boxes are scattered everywhere within the shot, including up close to the camera, and in the background on a countertop, Ravage can be seen attempting to fit himself inside a box at least half his size, back legs scrabbling and tail flailing. )
"This... is absolutely preposterous!"
( She opens her mouth to continue, but instead must cover her face with tissues and both hands, a massive sneeze followed by coughs racking her frame and causing a mountain of crumpled wads to partially cover the camera. Erica clears them away when she can see straight, scowling and looking horrid. )
"If I track down the filthy lowlife who brought this virus into my library," ( And here she threatens the camera with a pen, wielded like a sword, ) "I swear upon all that is holy, I will end you! Who is to care for my books now?! I'll be out for days at such a rate!"
( In the background, Ravage's stubborn attempts to turn himself into a kitty-loaf the hard way cause him to flip the box, kitten and all, off of the counter with a loud WHUD. Erica turns and shoots to her feet, intending to go to his rescue, but somewhat tangles up her feet, and she goes down with an even louder noise. She swears black invective in some language - perhaps Latin? - before her hand can be seen in front of the camera, fumbling about before locating the cord and yanking it. )
