[The day after he was drunk he sends this.]

Sorry if I behaved badly. I don't drink very often anymore. It's probably for the best. It was nice to meet you.

[He genuinely worries that he didn't make that much sense.]

[frostedplum]

Do you not remember the things you said last night?

There was no bad behavior. Don't worry!

[warandpeace]

I remember but I also vaguely remember trying to make sense and not being sure that I did.

But don't worry, I do recall a lot of the conversation. [At least the topics.]

[frostedplum]

It made enough sense to me!

For a drunk person, you were very good at following a conversation and contributing to it.

[warandpeace]

I was never too bad at it. I just sometimes forgot what the appropriate limits of conversation were. Or the appropriate limits of behavior.

[Thank god even drunk Kazuhira has matured to the point he didn't expose any part of himself in celebration as he would have ten years ago. Ten points for progress.]

[ Shortly after seeing this, Matthew feels compelled to text the person he knows who might actually be affected by it. ]

hey dont use the ingress thing rn
did you see what happened?
they said its making ppl sick or something

[ He didn't catch all the details, honestly, just that it was gross. ]

your ok right?

[frostedplum]

Yes, I saw.

I need to go have a checkup to make sure I'm okay.

[ Because the whole "expelling something" thing? Totally happened to her. :( ]

[dreamkid]

[ Nooo, Mei... ]

up to the space station? theyve got doctors

[frostedplum]

That AI said there would be a testing facility set up here on Chioni, so I'll go there.

I'm sure I'm all right now, but it's best to be sure.

[dreamkid]

oh right great
i bet theyre good

[ Good doctors, he means. ]

maybe its only a few ppl who got sick?

[ Hopefully... ]

[mylawn]

Checking in. Any further symptoms?

[Now that we. Ya know. Saw that thing.]

[frostedplum]

No, I've been taking decontamination showers. Now the only symptom I have is a weird skin color. :(

Oops wrong account |D

[mylawn]

Keep me posted. Did they tell you anything at decontamination?

[frostedplum]

Nothing useful. Just that I would have to keep coming in for showers until they tell me otherwise.

Did you hear what that one guy said, about this thing being called Mother? Do you believe that? It makes me kind of sick to think I carried some sentient evil thing in me and let it loose here.

[mylawn]

I’ve been speaking to Nihlus, yeah. I’m assembling a team to investigate. Don’t beat yourself up about it.

And after the Q&A session with the intermediary is ending.

[warandpeace]

Are you doing alright?

[He probably should have asked sooner.]

[frostedplum]

I'm not hurt.

[ Which isn't exactly answering his question, she knows. ]

Everything we learned is a lot to take in. How are you?

[warandpeace]

To be honest I already suspected a lot of it.

I'd been researching Savrii history for a while. Thought it would help me if I ever got any students looking for a teacher. I learned some things.

Are you busy?

[Probably best to meet up.]

[frostedplum]

[ She's about to type "what things?" but this is probably a conversation better had in person. ]

Not really. Where are you now?

[warandpeace]

Waiting for a couple of people by the doors.

[He's picked somewhere away from the crowd, with something he suspects is an architectural decoration to find some privacy behind. Even if they're basically in the same area, texting her to get her attention seemed the logical thing to do in a crowd of very disgruntled people this size, and he waves his TAB in the air to draw her attention over to where he is the moment he sees any sign of her.]

[nishizono]

hi, i heard you have half of someone's leg?

[frostedplum]

It's a prosthetic leg, and he loaned it to me.

[ Because yeah, this sounds weird and she doesn't want anyone thinking she like, sawed off a leg and took off into the night. ]

But yes, I have it. I'm using a part from it.

[nishizono]

we're coming into a pretty big fight soon, right? i was wondering if i could get the shell?
or help modify it.
you know, so he has a leg.
hard to run with just one.

i'm tetora by the way.

[ look okay he won't judge if that's what actually happened. needs must, and so on. ]

[frostedplum]

Oh, that would be great! Yeah, I can come drop off the shell whenever you'd like.

I'm Mei. ^_^

[nishizono]

hi.
where's a good place to meet?
i'm bringing my things along with me.
