I've been hearing there's something going around Glast Heim? Like, the flu. Or a stomach virus. Does anyone here know what the symptoms are?

Really? That's odd, it isn't exactly flu season...

[douwe]

I know, it's really weird.

Mal is sick.

[marleneonthewal]

Oh dear.

How bad is it?

[douwe]

I don't know, he's with a Priest now. He was fitful last night, seemed fine this morning, but was sort of...clammy when I got home, and was throwing up. So I brought him in.

[saltparsley]

I've heard about it, I guess. They told me a lot of people have been coming to the priests for it.

[douwe]

That's where I am now. They seem to have a lot of practice in knowing how to solve it now, I think. I'm not in the room.

[saltparsley]

I haven't dealt with it yet, I just got back from new Juno.

You're not the lady who runs the inn, are you?

[douwe]

Ah. Be careful, as it seems to hit people differently.

Er, technically no. My husband runs the inn, I'm a secretary for the church.

[not pressed in as much as it would normally be, much more languid writing]

Symptoms. Let me see. Shivering. Sweating. Pain in the stomach. Nausea. Diarrhea.

[pause]

Vomiting.

[douwe]

You have it too?

Have you seen a Priest about it yet?

[windofvariance]

Yes... I first got the symptoms a few days ago, and went to see one of them fairly quickly... I was fine for a day, but then, back it comes. I don't know, I've never had a flu quite like this before. Maybe it just has to run its course?

Even poor Forsie looks like he's feeling under the weather.

[douwe]

It comes back? This doesn't bode well for Mal..

What have you been eating? We're wondering if it's a food poisoning sort of thing.

[afoulbreeze]

Just about every fucking acolyte in the place's complaining about it, I fucking swear. "Boohoo I don't feel good Miss Ash I want my mooooommmyyyy."

Bunch of goddamn pussies.

[douwe]

I don't think you're giving them enough sympathy. I've seen some of the people walk by, and it looks serious to at least some degree.

[afoulbreeze]

I ain't been feeling a thing. They gotta have weak consta constitooshons oh fuck it, can't fight the bloody germs off.

Should go dump a few crowns of garlic in the soup pot or something. Fucking annoying, the whining.

[douwe]

I haven't either, but my son, and Lilith...

That's not nice of you, and would hardly stop the whining.

[boysandthebees]

What the rest said...

It seems to be just a stomach flu. It's really not worth worrying yourself.

[douwe]

It wasn't me, but my son. he's so young and I wasn't sure if his immune system could handle it...

He seems to be better now, though. For now at least

[boysandthebees]

How old is he?

[douwe]

About 8 months.
