twentieth date; [voice]

[laurice]

[At first, nothing can be heard except the muffled sounds of someone grumbling, coughing, and tossing and turning in bed. When Larry speaks, his voice is hoarse and small...and nasal at first, punctuated by a sniffle here or there.]

B-boss? I ca'd cob do -

[He stops, and he blows his nose uproariously. The sound is a little more distant than what you would expect; he presumably turned away first.]

Boss...I can't come to work today -

[This time, Larry is interrupted by a fit of coughing - terrible, hacking noises, as if he was trying to cough up his own lungs. He gasps, and then lets out another cough before taking a few deep breaths to calm himself down.]

Ugh. Whatever's been goin' around, I got it. Real bad.

... [Larry, this message was supposed to be filtered to Raul Creed, right? Well, it seems that he has either forgotten, or is too sick to care.]

Oh, great. I sent this over the network, didn't I?

[And what comes next is the sound of someone burying his head under a pillow and groaning.

If you want to visit him, he's in his house at Sector 6 and does not want to talk about what happened yesterday. That might be the reason why he's finally come down with the bug - badly.]

[madeinoblivion]

Yeah, this is the network. I'm...sure he'll get the message through somebody anyway.

[voice]

[laurice]

I know...but I should've filtered it.

Oh well.

[voice]

[madeinoblivion]

I'm glad to see that creepy clown didn't do anything too nasty to you, at least. That was you yesterday, right?

[voice]

[laurice]

[A pause, and a cough.]

Yeah, that was me.

[video]

[thehighcost]

Larry? Can I come see you?

[permavoice]

[laurice]

[He doesn't want to show himself to Death like this, so he'll keep using voice.]

Didi...I wanna see you too, but I might give you the bug!

[permavoice]

[thehighcost]

Don't worry about that! You won't give me the bug, I promise. Scout's honor! So, can I come over?

[laurice]

H-how do you know that? And...and I'm pretty sure I look horrible!

[And you sound horrible too, Larry. Scratchy, hoarse voice and all that.]

[voice]

[rapturescreed]

Please, take care of yourself. I would hate to lose a good addition to the club.

[voice]

[laurice]

Y-yes, boss...

You okay?

[voice]

[rapturescreed]

Yes, I seem to be in better spirits then most. The disease has not struck my family as badly as it seems it has struck others.

[voice]

[laurice]

Really? I was... [Excuse him while he coughs.]

I was okay for a long time, but then it got to me too.

[voice]

[inthejunk]

Dude, are you okay?

[Sure, he barely knows you. But he woke up this morning and saw the chaos from yesterday, and yikes.]

[voice]

[laurice]

[Sniff. Man, his nose is all stuffed up.]

No, I feel horrible.

[And not just because he's sick.]

Re: [voice]

[inthejunk]

Yeah...

[He's been the sick kind of horrible on and off himself, but the other thing is way worse. So have some silence for once, because what can he say to that? That blows.]

[voice]

[laurice]

...what about you? You got it too?

[Audio]

[gavesugar]

[Oh Larry...]

I mayst bring thee a small treat, if thou should allow it.

[Audio]

[laurice]

Sheila...!

[He perks up, but his voice is still a horrible croak.]

Just...what if you get the bug from me?

Re: [Audio]

[gavesugar]

[She chuckles.]

I hath it already, tho 'tis a more mild edition.

[Voice] /latelatelate

[onhigh]

Are you okay, Larry-san? You don't sound well at all...

[Voice] NO THERE IS NO SUCH THING

[laurice]

Madoka...yeah, I'm sick.

You sound okay, at least...

[Voice]

[onhigh]

I've been okay! I guess I'm lucky.

Um, do you want me to come visit you? I can't do much, but I can bring some medicine and food... And some company sometimes helps you feel better, right?

[video] latest :c also will probs be slow sob

[plum_that_snaps]

[Hinamori looks tired and a little run down, but a gentle smile stays on her face.] I'm sorry to hear that you're sick, even though I know you didn't mean to tell everyone. Take care of yourself and get plenty of rest. If you need anything, I'd be glad to help.

[voice] IT'S OKAAAAAY

[laurice]

[Larry can't show him to pretty girls right now, he's sick and his nose is running and his hair is messed up.]

H-Hinamori...

Thanks.

[video]

[plum_that_snaps]

Just make sure you take care of yourself, okay?

I don't—I don't want anyone else dying on me.
