[So far Elena has had no luck in finding Elraine, not even with the help from Conan and a few others. Bad news indeed, what with that horrific feed that came through only a few days ago. Elena was up and out of her seat the minute she saw it, within minutes she was on the streets, looking for Elle. When the feed turns on it shows Elena walking down

[Private Text] I think LJ ate my comment. :|

[Well...this is something to keep her from any sleep. (Not that she was having an easy time before.)]

I'm not hurt, Elena. Please call off the search.

[But Elle! She's only doing it because she's worried about you! Elena will feel horrible she made you uncomfortable.]

E-Elle! Sweet summons, are you all right?

All right, I'll call off the search. But will you at least let me see you? You've got a lot of us worried.

[She understands, Elena, that's why she's putting on the video feed. The view is of a small but plain looking bedroom with no real hint of a definite house address/location. Elraine looks like she hasn't been getting much sleep though.]

Elena, I can assure you I'm fine. I'd...rather not see anyone right now though.

[Oh, Elraine. Elena's feeling better that she can see you but - well - it isn't the same. She can't address any medical issues (even though she's got bare bones experience beyond her medkit) or at the least be supportive. Well, maybe she can, actually.]

I......I trust you. You know yourself better than the rest of us. If you say you're fine, I believe you. But are you sure you want to be alone? Whatever is going on, you don't have to be...

Miss Elraine, ma'am?

[Well, looks can be deceiving...]

...All right. I'll head out now.

[provenworth]

That's right. The girl who was with us before.

[No joke, 202. Elena would be more upset about being deceived if she wasn't emotionally invested.]

Thank you 202. And be careful.

She hasn't let me anywhere near her since the event. My best assumption is that she's lost her ability to keep Troy at bay like she once did. Instead, she's flooding her victims with the toxins. I don't know anything else, I'm sorry.

[There's a pause on Christine's end this time. She looks frazzled, although clearly holding her composure just as well as ever. She's in emergency mode with all the happenings around the city today.]

Thank you, Elena.

[Elena's got mixed feelings at this sudden influx of information. Firstly, frustration that Christine knew this and didn't say/do anything to prevent it. And secondly, respect for Christine's potential promise to Elraine to keep this information secret for the girl's safety. Had this information gone public, Gaia knows how the city would have reacted...]

So is this 'Troy' some sort of disease? Is there any way to manage it?

[Elena can't help but give the woman a warm smile.]

No need to thank me, its the least I can do. I'll contact

Troy is a disease, yes. I have a treatment for it, but only if the initial dose of toxin is low enough that the body can resist for a few days. We've never made a big deal out of it because we've never had a problem. Elraine is generally careful and death isn't supposed to be that fast.

Interesting. I'm wondering if the current state of the city - with peoples' fears coming out in droves....if this may have caused it to become more aggressive?

[holmes_fanatic]

Elraine-neechan contacted me not that long ago. Sounds like she's calmed down enough to make precautions for isolating herself but other than that, I didn't learn much.

Thank you Conan.

I've gotten word from her as well. She said she's not hurt, but I'm still concerned. We'll get her the help she needs as soon as she's ready for it.

[holmes_fanatic]

Ah.

At least people are taking this calmly. [Or haven't noticed.]

[Text // Locked]

[provenworth]

I think they may not know how to react if they saw it. Even if they did, the chances of them of being overly concerned would be minimal.

I suspect by the low reaction to the feed that most people didn't see it.

[chatty_swan]

Why are ya looking fer her?

[provenworth]

Because she is a friend and I have reason to suspect she may need medical assistance.

[chatty_swan]

I'll look out fer her.

[provenworth]

Thank you Mr. - ah....I don't think I ever caught your name.
