Billy's feeling sick so keep it down in the apartment, please. That means you, Tommy. Just help yourself to anything, Kate, the essentials are free to kids under 18. I'm going in to work, but you can text me if you need me.

Do you guys want to do a movie night tonight? I think I've seen a rental place somewhere around here.

Movie night sounds fine with me as long as Billy keeps his germs on his side of the apartment.

The whole "essentials are free" thing does cover things like popcorn, right?

[politehulk]

If he gets worse, give me a call, I'm pretty sure I'm immune.

I think you could make the argument that it counts as food.

[girlwithabow]

Corn is edible, last time I checked. It should count as food.

When did you get a job, anyway?

[politehulk]

Go for it, then. You might want to snag some OJ if you're going out.

Uh, a little while after I got here? Some guy was hiring for a new coffee shop and I thought I'd give it a try.

[girlwithabow]

I'll see if I can get some Theraflu too. Or maybe stuff to stock the medicine cabinet with.

I can't blame you for working for what you want. It's better than expecting a handout.

[politehulk]

Good plan, I'm sure Billy'll appreciate anything. You might want a facemask before you go out too.

Better safe than sorry.

[girlwithabow]

Good idea. Last thing I want to do is get hit with the Black Plague on my first full day here.

[politehulk]

Uh, apparently the real Black Plague has actually happened here before.

[girlwithabow]

Was it one of those curse things I heard about?

[politehulk]

Yup. Since I got here they haven't been that bad, but I've been told they're usually much worse. Did you get to read a guide?

[girlwithabow]

This place has a guide? And here I was thinking it couldn't get anymore insane.

[politehulk]

Here you go.

[girlwithabow]

You got to love them for putting quite a bit of thought into making up these curses. Too bad they didn't spend the same amount of energy leaving people alone.

[politehulk]

I met one of them, actually, and she seemed really nice...

[girlwithabow]

The deities?

It was probably all an act.

[politehulk]

You've only been here a day and you're already going to judge?
