FRESH ROOSTERS

[ In this isolated chamber, there are enough chairs around the rickety, rotten wooden desk to seat everybody. Some sunlight streams through the boarded windows to give enough light. You have pencils, pens, some scrap paper to brainstorm with, and a formal test sheet to put your final answers on. ]

It's possible. Do you know what those fevers are called?

[shakes her head]

I do not.

I suppose just calling her out on it would have to do.

Do you know what schizophrenia is?

I have no idea.

We'll just have to focus on the sadness then.

Yes...

Feed them something delicious?

...would that make you not sad?

If I wasn't terribly sad, yes. But coming up with something that works for anyone is the problem.

Is it?

Yes. Different things work for different people.

Oh.

What do you think would be the most universal?

Food, as I previously suggested, or hugs.

...what is a hug?

...

Hold still.

[hugging you]

[What.]

[What are you doing.]

[hugging you

don't panic]

[BUT THIS IS DIFFERENT.]

[WHAT IS BEING TOUCHED WITHOUT IT BEING THE SOUL PLANE OR PAIN.]

What are you doing.

This is a hug.

And this is supposed to....help?

In theory.

I see.

[I am.]

[Very confused.]

I believe I understand the technical aspects of it.

All right.

[lets go, stepping back]

[I will just be...awkward over here.]

So.

Food and hugs for the depression.

The first one might have to do with an oath of a hypocrite?

So a lie?

Yes. Someone aims to break their word?

That seems as likely as anything.

[Nods.]

The four humors?

A series of jokes?

...perhaps?

[I do not know anything about humors.]

That doesn't seem right.

But I can't think of anything else.

Neither can I.

Is that everything then?

I believe so.

[Nods.] All right.
