SAPPHIRE

[dramatispersonae]

[The room is circular and surrounded by a series of ionic columns, the floor and ceiling stretching overhead fashioned out of cracked, white stone. The area beyond the columns is pitch black, and the room itself is lit only by dimly flickering candles. The candles rest on top of a stone table, which sits in the middle of the room.

And next to the candles rest four numbered boxes]

[...maybe I should keep my hand on it.]

It's a fever, with coughing and shivering.

Re: Decision

A fever ... ? [8|a]

I think we've got stuff for that ...

Re: Decision

[glorious]

I would rather we not pass this on to anyone else, then.

Re: Decision

[performing]

Check with Apple and see what she has, then.

Re: Decision

[glorious]

...Very well.

Re: Decision

[performing]

Does this mean you want to take it?

Re: Decision

[eyeing the bottle...]

I'd rather hold myself in reserve in case we're expected to stab ourselves. My healing will be of use then, if she allows it. I don't want to be asleep for that.

Re: Decision

[performing]

Stab ourselves ... that's definitely worse than a cold. Give it to me, then.

...I assume you want to be awake for the rest of the game?

Re: Decision

It'll take more than a fever to put me down, even a bad one.

[taking it, uncorking it ... deep breath, and then down the hatch]

[well that's no fun but v( '-' )v #dgmlife this is livable]

[snuffling, but giving a small grateful nod in between coughing]

Re: Decision

[glorious]

[...wrapping it a little around you.]

Thank you for taking this one.

Re: Decision

[performing]

[another small nod, probably hoarse-voiced by now]

S'rright ... could probably do another if we needed it.

Re: Decision

[glorious]

[--nods]

We'll see what we get. We should be careful about compounding things.

Re: Decision

[snufffffffle]

A cold's not gonna put me out for good ...

Re: Decision

[glorious]

[chuckles]

But a super cold might still be dangerous.

Re: Decision

[performing]

... I hope I'm not contagious ...

Re: Decision

[glorious]

...A most horrifying thought. A super cold in this small community would leave everyone in bed for weeks!

Re: Decision

[greenthummons]

There are enough of us that we can each take a turn. We shouldn't need to double up on anyone.

Re: Decision

[performing]

But if it's worse'n a cold ...

Re: Decision

[greenthummons]

You're already sick.

Re: Decision

[performing]

I've had a lot worse than this--!
