[What gets a man to stop wallowing in his own depressive filth after unrelenting days of indulging in his own lonely and singular misery? Germ theory, apparently.]

What absolute horseshit is this supposed to be?

[itsjiaheng]

[ well this is... a response. but someone noticed, so he'll take it! ]

uh
well
what's confusing you
i'll clarify ?

[chiastic]

There is nothing at all confusing about it. It is absurd. You are claiming to have never in your entire life suffered from even the slightest head cold, and now somehow are existing here - which I guarantee is rife with bacteria of every conceivable phylogeny; you should see the deplorable state of this house - without every under developed shriveled white blood cell in your body imploding like a balloon.

[trouvaille]

If you're going to roll around like a pig in filth and then scream about my fucking house I am having you removed by the guard and changing the locks.

[chiastic]

I am merely stating facts. There is no need to become hysterical, madame.

[trouvaille]

You have an hour to pack anything you don't want burned when you're removed.

( hi sorry taco pal, the warthrop struggle is real. )

[itsjiaheng]

oh
well it's not like diseases don't exist there
because they do
but like
people have gene mods
also
controlled environments
preventative supplements
etc
but you know
if that's what you think is happening
and shit's imploding
hmm

[chiastic]

[presumably typing this either while packing his shit or pointedly refusing to; who can say]

I would STRONGLY recommend you remand yourself immediately to a sterile environment. If you are showing mild symptoms of illness now, it is extremely you will continue to become more sick as your impoverished immune system collapses under the strain. Consider yourself as like the limping zebra in the Serengeti. Presently, you are successfully keeping pace with your herd. But soon, a lion will appear, at which point your limp will have exhausted your weakened body and you will be helplessly devoured.

Perhaps the Coven has some resource they might make available to you. Otherwise you are very likely to sicken further and die.

[Helpful.]

[itsjiaheng]

..... well then
that is
one way of explaining things
i guess
you seem like you really know what you're talking about tho
talking about like
white blood cells and shit
and my immune system
are you a like
a real doctor?

[eyeforaneye]

It's possible that your world was different in how it handled sickness, but it's also possible that you built up immunities while there and haven't for anything here.

What are your symptoms, Tacobell?

[itsjiaheng]

yeah there's a lot of like
measures for it where i'm from
modifications
environment control
i'm not the expert it's just what i recall
anyway
i'm tired like i'm exhausted and wanna sleep a week
only sleep is haha not happening
like that nap ??
impossible
everything is like achey
oh also
i look like shit
tbh that's the worst symptom
i'd suffer quietly just fine if i didn't look like hell

[eyeforaneye]

It's possible then that it's what you expect.

However, are you a monster or a witch? You also shouldn't discount the possibility that this is a part of your transformation.

[itsjiaheng]

oh definitely a monster
like for sure
got that answer right up front on day one
which is
thrilling

[ it's really not. it fills you with DREAD. ]

[eyeforaneye]

In that case your first priority should be figuring out which one if you haven't already. If you have no other significant symptoms of sickness then start there.

[itsjiaheng]

yeah alright
that's a good one
also way better than alternative suggestions
which involve
"hey prepare to die because that sounds like you're dying" ( ಠ ͜ʖ ಠ)

I've got no clue what the potions here do, dude, but the witches at the Coven might know more. Or a shopkeeper that sells stuff like that. If you need help getting somewhere, lmk bc I get off work in an hour or so.

Is it bad??

[itsjiaheng]

i mean
i'm sure there are much worse sicknesses
than a generalised shitty feeling
mostly can't sleep
but feel like i really wanna sleep for like awhile
and then everything kinda hurts but i've done
literally nothing
i could deal
if i didn't also look it ??
arguably the worst of it all

[ looking sick does not agree at all with his vanity. ]

[coherer]

So you're in pain, having sleeping difficulties, and look like...... what, tired?

That sounds brutal. Have you tried speaking to one of the healthcare workers here, or another Mirrorbound about monster transformations? It could be that, man. Which is bullcrap ik, but it's better to look into it than not. Right?

[itsjiaheng]

it's a lil rough yeah lol
wouldn't be so bad like
if laying around all day was an option
but tryna settle in around here and all that too ??
not the easiest
but yeah
you got a point
at least reaching out on here hasn't been a total flop
getting some good advice anyway
shit probably seems obvious to some people
but i have barely managed to adult in my own world, you know ?

[coherer]

I feel you so hard on that, man. Lmao this world is backwards, no offence to the ppl who live here.

None of this is obvious at all, there's no special manual to read that tells you everything to expect. Like for sure we've got help from a bunch of sources, but a lot of the people here act like smart asses and then there's the whole mental aspect of... having to deal with the changes.

No biggie if you need help. Ask anytime.

You okay otherwise? You need anything brought to you?

[partnerinheels]

You're from a world without disease or sickness?

I don't know if that's possible in a world that also has Taco Bell.

[itsjiaheng]

oh no
those exist
there's just a lot of measures to like
prevent that from happening
especially if you have a lot of money

[partnerinheels]

Okay. That's far less startling.

You're probably just not used to the allergens or local germs. Local honey can help with your immune system.

As far as magic is concerned, I'm afraid I cannot provide advice.

[itsjiaheng]

yeah this seems to be like
the most common theory
only one person was like
"u gone die"
so i guess that's good

honey is good like that ??
i didn't know it had like
benefits

[partnerinheels]

Joke's on them. We're all going to die.

For allergies. Also sugar, honey, and salt all are excellent ways to kill bacteria in the field.
