[She would have done a video post, but poor Vesper is rather unsightly. The lack of sleep from the illness has left dark circles under her eyes and she's paler than usual. That's why her newest entry is a voice entry, but it's marred with a rather disturbing whooping cough.]

The pharmacy near me ran out of the latest drugs to come out. My cough is getting worse and I'm feeling rather faint frequently

[Another fit of coughs.]

Does anyone have any remedies that have worked for them? My chest is starting to feel sore from coughing so much.

Derek Hopper of "Illumination for Portians" was taken in for questioning early yesterday to further investigate the sensationalist release of Ragusa Inc’s false cure, non-certified by the City’s Department of Health, which has alleviated symptoms but caused several riots with its limited supply..

Bail is set at 2 million, and many of Hopper’s network fans are rallying support to raise bail money by online donation, claiming that their blogging hero is being held on bogus charges, probably backed by SERO. Hopper has been quick to support unaffiliated businesses in the past, leading Portside Sports Mogul William Herms and Astrid Keelson, president of the UMCA, also considering contributions to the cause.

“Hopper’s got pluck, it’s not his fault Ragusa’s taking advantage of a liberal-minded, free spokesman.” Herms told reporters this morning “Why, I’d put ‘em on the air sponsored, if it were up to me! Let’s just hope this epidemic ends and the right cure is found soon, so we can all pull our lives together, get these hospital gurneys out of the stadium, and get back to a good game of baseball.”

[Rachel looks a little pale, but her expression is level and gaze clear. She's sick, but not terribly so. She's not disheveled, but her breath is occasionally labored, as if she's fighting back a deep cough.]

I am obviously not as sick as many others in the city. I'm offering my services to those who might need my help. [She pauses, caught as if she wishes to say more, but looks away from the NV and coughs a few times.] Excuse me. Obviously, there is no worry of infecting me.

[Helpful angel is helpful. Hopefully.]
