12th Combo - [Video]

[redcladidealist]

Damn it, I think Zelos is in a sleep coma again. He's not the only one, either. Colette's still asleep- [At least that's what he thinks. He's a little out of the loop, completely unaware that he'd been in a sleep coma, too.] -and Dino was in one, and Zack's friend, and other people. It's like they're contagious or something

Now that I think of it, a lot of people are in a sleep coma lately... Maybe it is some sort of sickness...

Do you have any idea how to fix it if it is?

[redcladidealist]

[Lloyd shakes his head.] Not a clue. But there are healers and doctors here... right?

[He actually isn't certain. People with healing magic, yes, but the only doctors he's encountered were the ones from that time when everyone's memories were changed and the world turned brown. He's not certain if they count.]

[chokowaffle]

There might be...?

[redcladidealist]

Then that's the next step. If we can find a doctor, maybe they can fix it.

[soulsymmetrical]

...Hm. I knew sleep comas were relatively "common," but you've brought up an interesting observation.

[redcladidealist]

Yeah. I mean, I've heard of people going into comas because they got hurt, but nobody I know who's been in a sleep coma got hurt, so it's gotta be something else.

[soulsymmetrical]

The reason for these sleep comas has yet to be determined, and for all we know it could be random coincidence.

[thinking.]

However this is a dream world...

[redcladidealist]

[Lloyd frowns. He still doesn't really get how that's supposed to work. All of this... a dream? A little of his confusion, and perhaps a little skepticism, creeps into his voice.]

You think we might sleep more because we're already supposed to be asleep?

Colette isn't asleep, at least...not that I know of.

I think you were the one sleeping, Lloyd.

[redcladidealist]

Huh? [He brightens.] She's not? That's great! So she woke up this morning? [Still under the illusion that he saw Sheena and Colette just yesterday.]

Hey, give me a break. It was only a few extra hours.

[beats_zelos]

No, she...woke up a few days ago.

No it wasn't. You were asleep for longer than that.

[redcladidealist]

That- But... That doesn't make any sense. She can't have woken up a few days ago because I-

[He stops, confused and searching. His heart beats suddenly louder, almost lurching.]

Longer than... days?

[couldnotfly]

You think it could be people getting sick? Aren't most diseases contagious or something? [At least, the ones he knows are.]

[Video]

[redcladidealist]

I think so? [Health isn't one of the subjects he paid attention to in class, so he's in the same boat as Zack.] But it'd make sense, right? People get sick and instead of a fever, they fall asleep, then when they get better they wake up.

[Video]fffuuu iconfail.

[couldnotfly]

Yeah, it makes sense. Would explain why people just drop and don't wake up no matter what we do, too. But Seph doesn't get sick. Not unless...[Zack pauses, then shakes his head. That can't be it.] He just doesn't. I'm not sure if either of us even can get sick anymore.

[Video] Iconfail is the worst

[redcladidealist]

[Oh, no, Zack. You don't get to hint at something and then just drop it. Lloyd's interest has already been caught.] Not unless what? And why can't you get sick?

[uncute_one]

I've never heard of a contagious coma, but then and again I've never heard of Somarium either, until I arrived here.

[redcladidealist]

Maybe it's not the coma that's contagious. Maybe it's whatever's causing it.

[uncute_one]

Ah, yes, that is what I had wanted to say. I was simply worried that you wouldn't be able to understand, so I tried to put it into simpler terms.

But, moving on, what do you think is causing the comas?

[redcladidealist]

[Sidelong glance. He's not entirely certain if he just got insulted.] Hey, it's not that hard to understand.

[He frowns, really thinking about the question.] I don't know. I wonder if... Maybe it has something to do with the fact that we're not from this world?
