♔eight (poison plot!) video | action
[You know that one person you'd need if an epidemic broke out? Someone that would help lead and guide people? Yeah, it'd suck if they were out of action, right? Like right now.
The feed opens up to a rather pale looking Natalia walking down the hall of her Clinic, who blinks a few times, wondering why she feels ever so drowsy. Her cheeks are ( Read more... )

Hey! Natalia!!
[That was definitely recorded at the hospital. Moving out the door like a boss.]

Natalia can vaguely hear your voice..kind of. But it's so hot and her vision is kind of fuzzy. It's like she's swimming, everything just sounds distorted]

[Fatigue? Illness? She mentioned the heat, so probably a fever...]
[Asch is hauling down the street towards the clinic about as swiftly as he can while trying to avoid large groups of people, but it seems to take forever.]

[At some point Asch reaches the hospital. He hasn't stopped the whole way, so he's breathing hard as he shoves the doors open wide. Largely ignoring anyone he finds, Asch moves purposely across the lobby, pausing only to peer down each hallway before selecting one and setting off down it.]
[What is asking for help and/or directions?]

[Reminding himself just who he's doing this for, Asch draws in a sharp breath, cuts his transmission with Natalia, and irritably goes about trying to get a hold of someone who can actually be of use.]
[He hasn't stopped walking for a moment, however, and he keeps his eyes peeled for Natalia or any other familiar face.]
Dammit... Pick up.

That was Asch, wasn't it? She thought she heard his voice.]

[Then something catches his attention, and in the midst of it, there's Natalia still lying on the floor.]
[Straightening himself out, Asch briskly makes his way towards her.]

Asch! Asch!? Are you there!? Is she okay?!
[Yes, he expects you to know exactly what he's talking about and be there already. He saw you at Sheridan, Ortion Cavern, and Baticul. Plus nosy little brothers make it their job to know everything.]

Tch! Replica!
[It's not too hard to figure out who he means. Asch guesses he must have seen Natalia's broadcast, too. Maybe not seen.]
...She fainted and has a high fever. I don't know what all else.
[His scowl intensifies.]
What happened to you? Chicken pox?

[You're getting a blank look Asch. Guess who inherited his immunity from you? He lifts his hand to scratch at his cheek a little, revealing that his hand is in the same condition as his face; thankfully the itching hasn't gotten too bad yet, though it likely will soon.] I don't know. It just started earlier. I wanted to ask her about it, but...
[Shaking his head worriedly, itching a bit at his neck now.] Do you think she'll be okay?

Don't you have any sense, replica? Quit scratching it.
[He avoids the question. He's never seen Natalia like this before and he's not sure exactly what's caused the illness or how easy it is to cure.]

[There is a hint of whine there, but it's just as much confused and annoyed as anything - there's an itch, so he scratches it, what's the problem...? He'll bring his hand down for now though. Asch probably can't see it, but it's still twitching occasionally, wanting to dart back up to scratch before he catches himself.
And don't think he's forgotten about Natalia. She's family. And your lack of response is making him uneasy.] Where is she now?
[Since, you know, the seal was fuzzy and all.]
