You have been instructed to leave the front foyer and enter one of the rooms down the center hallway. Room 136's door has an anatomical illustration of a goat crushing a snake under its hoof. A cat looks on, curious.

Don't be ridiculous! You need help as much as the others do.

[Clutches her hand a little tighter, almost pinning it against herself. She's starting to shiver.]

Re: PART 2 MINGLE

[barrette]

Everyone else is sick, the same as you.

[ she kneels down next to her, pressing the back of a hand against Aoko's cheek. ]

Don't ignore your health, okay?

[Bites her lip, unconsciously leaning a little into the touch. She's burning up.]

Can't sit and do nothing . . .

Taking care of yourself isn't doing nothing, silly. If you get better, then you can help us take care of Amalthea.

[ she wipes Aoko's face with her damp cape. ]

Keep this on your head, okay? I'm going to get you some ice.

Re: PART 2 MINGLE

[clocksandroses]

. . . Okay.

[the word ends in a cough]

[ she's very fast in gathering up some ice, and quickly starts to wrap the ice up in part of her cape. ]

This should keep your face cool. Lay down and try to get comfortable, and let someone know if you feel worse.

Re: PART 2 MINGLE

[clocksandroses]

Re: PART 2 MINGLE

[barrette]

Keep an eye on the others. We might miss something while we're treating everyone, so let us know if someone needs our help.

[clocksandroses]

just rubs her back and gently places the makeshift icepack against Aoko's forehead. ]

Re: PART 2 MINGLE

[barrette]
