[With all the information coming out, it's apparent to Keith and Lance that one big elephant in the room has been ignored: the infection among the recruits themselves. Keith is tired and on edge, as he needs nothing to do with the infection to be cranky. Lance is jittery, too. But they have to talk about that elephant before it gets too late.

And for some of them, it might be. That's what Keith is really afraid of right now.]


Hey. It's Keith.

and ya boy, lance! [Because things are already pretty doom and gloom as it stands, and maybe things could use a little lightening up? Or something...

It’s a little more difficult to differentiate between people in a group message like this, but it’s a better idea to get something down on text in case they need to refer to it later, and anyone who knows either of the boys can probably tell them apart pretty easily through diction alone.]


we know your mind-phones have been pretty busy lately, but theres something keith and i wanted to talk to you guys about.

Before we get a move on in attacking Zymandis' agent, we need to look at our own numbers. A lot of us are sick. Maybe less than I thought. Or maybe more. Either way, we have to know who's sick and make a plan to help our own. And I'm serious about HELPING. Not putting someone out of their misery or any of the other stupid stuff I've heard from some of this team. We need to stop this disease. We need to help our own. Once everyone's BETTER, we'll make a plan for what to do next as a team.

[It's harsher than necessary but likely less harsh than how it might be normally, given Keith's frequently frustrated tone of voice. Text mitigates some of it, even if his frustration definitely does become CAPITAL LETTERS.

Lance, meanwhile, is quite eager to gloss over that sharp reprimand because seriously guys — kumbaya.]


yeeeeeah, so — helping! getting a head count is definitely ideal. we cant afford to be silent on this and we definitely CANT be alone right now, cuz every one of us affected and on our own can be a huge risk to everyone here. so we were thinking… since the city shut it down, we can use the middle school. those of us infected can stay there while we wait for our people to find that cure. like a quarantine safe house.. i know its not ideal, but its something. especially for those who dont have any other contingency plans.

[A pause. Well. May as well get the ball rolling, right?]

ill be there.

( ooc; p.s. there is an information plotting post for the quarantine space! )

Are you infected, Feferi?

[personal profile] fintastic 2017-03-06 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
Not as far as I know! Are you?
racking: (92.)

[personal profile] racking 2017-03-06 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.
You don't think it's too dangerous for you to be around me? Especially when I'm like this?
fintastic: (calmly culling)

[personal profile] fintastic 2017-03-06 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know. Maybe?

But if someone has to stop you, I would like it to be me!
racking: (14.)

[personal profile] racking 2017-03-06 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
Can you stop me? How would you do it without me either hurting you or infecting you?
fintastic: (sneaky fish)

[personal profile] fintastic 2017-03-06 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
I still have a couple fraymotifs up my sleeve!
Not literally but I'm tougher than I look.

The trident is not just for show, either.

[personal profile] racking 2017-03-06 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't want you to put yourself at risk. Not unless it was absolutely necessary.

[ that being said-- ]

You wouldn't hesitate before coming at me with that trident?
fintastic: (thankful)

[personal profile] fintastic 2017-03-06 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
If I thought you were a danger to other people?
No, because I know you would want me to stop you!

I would just feel better if I knew that I could heal you, too, if you needed it.

[personal profile] racking 2017-03-06 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
Does that work in this case? With this kind of infection?
fintastic: (awkwarrrrrd)

[personal profile] fintastic 2017-03-06 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
No. 38( If I could do that, I would do it right now.
But I can make sure you don't die before we find a cure or something like that!
racking: (52.)

[personal profile] racking 2017-03-06 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
My only condition is if it doesn't put you in danger.

And if you let me find a way to return the favor, if it's ever necessary.
fintastic: (calmly culling)

[personal profile] fintastic 2017-03-09 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm. I guess I can agree to that! I just want you to know though, whatever happens, we are still friends, okay?
racking: (35.)

[personal profile] racking 2017-03-09 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
Of course. I wouldn't hold you responsible for anything that happened, especially under these circumstances.
I know you're protecting the team.
fintastic: (thankful)

[personal profile] fintastic 2017-03-09 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, same here! Still... I reely hope it doesn't come to that! I guess we just have to wade and sea. 38(

[personal profile] racking 2017-03-12 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
I'll try my best to make sure it's not necessary.

But you're right. Only time will tell.
