[Axel doesn't look too happy about feeling under the weather today. He's certainly nowhere near his last legs or anything, but he looks tired. Really tired. He grimaces when he clears his throat, but it doesn't seem to help how scratchy his voice is.]

Well. This is a throwback to when I was a kid--I don't think I've been sick in the better part of a decade, you know? [Another throat-clearing and grimace.] Ugh, wish I'd managed to maintain that clean record, too; this sucks. ... Well, at least now I have an excuse not to go to work. Right, chief? [He clicks his tongue and wags one finger.] Can't risk anybody else getting sick, after all...

- Because of patient overflow at the city hospitals, Grant Stadium has been opened as a quarantine center for the sick. The public is urged to bring those suffering severe symptoms there, instead of Skye or Siren’s Port General. SERO is still accepting followers. Followers of the Cult of Jonova, banned from soliciting inside the stadium, are offering prayer and healing in the parking lot.

Uhh...

[ This video thing is so weird. Tavros isn't used to it. So much so that he's not looking at the camera when he talks, instead fixing his gaze directly at the screen. He pauses before continuing to fuss with his (now poorly styled) mohawk and rub the palms of his hands at the bags under his eyes. He looks kind of terrible, then again, a lot of people currently do. ]

I guess now, a lot of people are getting, really sick. And, I, uhh, hope that you're doing well. [ He swipes a hand over his forehead, letting his hands flop back onto his lap. ] And not, getting sicker, as that would be a, step in the wrong direction, to my well wishes.

So, uhh...

[ And there's a loud crash in the background. ] Pupa, you were supposed to get something to eat for dinner!

[ Tavros winces and looks over his shoulder, hands dropping to the arms of his chair. ] I thought that it was, your night?

When I ask you to do something, you shouldn't sit around and mull it over. You should do it, Tavros. That's how friendship works! [ A slam. She gets louder with audible footsteps. ] Or that's how this whole thing is supposed to work. What are you even doing? [ Vriska puts her hand on the back of his chair, leaning over his shoulder to look in at the camera feed. ]

So, I can't live in this stupid apartment by myself for too long ... even though I'm the most AWESOME delivery pony ever, I don't have enough money to go for more than like two months. The hewmans I was living with are gone now, so...

[She flicks her tail in annoyance, this never happened with her cool cloud castle!]

... I guess if anyone wants to move in with the coolest pony in Siren's Port now's your lucky chance!

My only rule is: No being uncool!

[Hello, SP. Your resident mad genius has decided to grace you all with his presence.]

The sheer number of you complaining about this illness has gotten on my nerves. Therefore, out of the goodness of my heart -- and for the sake of hearing something different on the NV network -- I am volunteering my services and my intelligence to find a way to end this epidemic.

[Yeah, complete asshole alert! ...and then he turns serious. Because this is serious.]

That being said, I will require an individual to volunteer themselves for experimentation. I am only extending this request to Newcomers. I cannot guarantee this will be a successful process, nor can I guarantee it will be without pain. I cannot even guarantee your life. What I can guarantee is that I will not rest until I find the solution for this disease, no matter how many times I have to kill you to do it.

That being said: yes, this is a serious request. No, I don't expect just anyone to volunteer for it. I suggest you seriously consider it before even replying to this message.

[ooc; Blaine is pretty bad, so all typos in post and comments are IC. Also, Blaine wouldn't be replying as quickly as I do, so there will be lots of notes about time stamps in subject lines. If you want to do some action threads for character you might be sick or tending the sick? Blaine's been put in quarantine and will be pretty sick, but I'm always up for action threads.]

[Meryl looks considerably more composed this time around than she had toward the end of her first transmission to the network.

And sadder.]

Hello. I'm...I'm sorry, I still don't have the hang of talking to a whole city at once like this. We didn't have this kind of technology where I come from—the closest thing is my megaphone.

[She half-smiles for a moment, but it falls flat.]

I spoke to some of you before, but I didn't believe what people were telling me. I do now, though. It's very clear that this isn't some kind of trick. I've been trying to learn my way around. In some ways it's quite a bit more advanced; some of the technology this place has is very impressive.

[She sighs]

I'm sure this is a terrible time to talk about it, with so many people getting sick, but if anyone needs a hand with office duties, or paperwork, or anything like that, I've got experience and plenty of time on my hands. I've spent most of my career in the insurance business, but I've also spent a lot of time with outlaws and bounty hunters—if there's anyone who needs a hand, even just part time, please call me. My name is Meryl Stryfe.
