[if you're connected to Apt C in any way, shape, or form, you may notice the following:

A RAMPAGING (PET) HONEYDILLO, with a thick, brightly colored sock-like thing over its pick-axe tail.]

Okay, who left Bruce's closet open!?

Comments

[confirmed_bachelor]

All signs so far point to it not being contagious. So perhaps you are right.

[larcenous]

Still worth bein' careful. We've lost enough people.

[confirmed_bachelor]

[... nods]

The attrition rate here is terrible.

[larcenous]

Hopefully Shinichi n' his harem'll get their butts back here soon.

[confirmed_bachelor]

Sorry, his harem?

[larcenous]

Ran, Kaito... Jinx, and Aoko. Aoko's one of the coma victims.

[confirmed_bachelor]

... Where is she? Could I examine her?

[larcenous]

[Pauses, before nodding and hopping off the counter. Bruce, fortunately, is distracted.]

C'mon.

[confirmed_bachelor]

Ta.

[follows]

[larcenous]

[Over to Apartment Snowman! Annnd into one of the bedrooms; she flips the light on after entering. Aoko's inside, tucked under blankets on a double bed, thoroughly comatose.]

S'been a few days, at least.

[confirmed_bachelor]

[checking her forehead for her temperature, then moving on to her vital signs.]

... Comatose. Just like the others.

[larcenous]

Yeah. Can't even ask if there were any symptoms first, 'cuz they're all gone…

… Wait, there is one of 'em left.

[confirmed_bachelor]

The most obvious one.

[tucks her in]

She needs an elixir from Dellen. That will keep her alive until she reawakens, whenever that is.

[larcenous]

How much is it?

[confirmed_bachelor]

I don't know for certain. Generally speaking, I use IV bags instead.

[larcenous]

IV...?

[luckydog]

That's you being dumb too for just waiting.

[confirmed_bachelor]

Intravenous. They're filled with the nutrients needed to sustain a human body, put into their bloodstream via a needle and a tube.

[larcenous]

Oh, c'mon. I shouldn't have'ta do everythin'.

[larcenous]

That sounds fancy.

[luckydog]

Since when were ya doing everything?

[larcenous]

Okay, maybe I shouldn'ta waited as long as I did...

You still should've grown a pair way earlier than this!

[luckydog]

You're different. I didn't wanna miss it up.

[larcenous]

[Thaaat gives her a pause.

Leans.]

Different, huh.

[luckydog]

[ A... awkward face. ]

... Yeah.
