Puddles, do not run too far ahead.

[There's a chuckle and the sound of happy barking as Puddles runs back to the comm, circles around and races off again.]

Puddles...

[A pause, and silence.]

Puddles? Puddles!

[OOC: Cursed. All replies assumed voice ^^;]

Marron, most beautiful one, while you're over there would you find me --

Marron?

Marron!

He's... He is gone...

Deities of the City! Gateau Mocha will not stand for this abuse of power! Those who use magic to oppress the weak and helpless must be brought to justice by whatever means present themselves! But first...

BRING HIM BACK.

Usually I believe weapons are for those whose physique is weak and wimpy. A person as beautiful as I has no need for knives or these "guns".

However, water balloons are a different story!

TAKE COVER, CITIZENS! GATEAU MOCHA WILL TAKE NO PRISONERS!

[At first, the screen is black, and there's the sound of panting, then grunting and groaning. The screen flashes on and focuses immediately on Gateau, who, despite the large muscles in his arms, seems to be straining -- to open a bag of pretzels.

Pan back. Sitting at his feet is a tiny puppy, its tail thumping noisily against the ground.]

I am glad to hear they will be letting me leave tonight. One can only exist in a hospital for so long. It is not a very beautiful environment.

To my students and Miss Blake's, I should be able to return to work soon.

I don't suppose anyone could tell me what causes swollen glands, swollen joints, coughing, vomiting, and what appears to be gangrenous spots? The doctors here seem not to know.

[A thin, harsh cough.]

I would appreciate any assistance you could offer.

Why is it so cold?

[Oh, goody. The network is graced with a series of wracking coughs, followed by the unmistakable sound of an already-empty stomach heaving up bile.]

Mat -- I am afraid I cannot come into work tomorrow.

[Another thin, dry cough.]

My arms feel so heavy...

Marron... Please stay away for a few days. This is not beautiful.

[OOC: Yay plague!]

Marron, I'm going to be home late. There was an emergency...

CITIZENS! Come and see THE WORLD'S STRONGEST MAN ( Read more... )

STUDENTS! Report for class!

And make sure you're visible today!

Remember, unless you practice daily you will never have a beautiful body LIKE MINE!

[Private to Anita, Mat]

I can teach your classes for you until you feel up to it.
