[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! )

[ way to ask a very complicated question, keith. ]

It's not about that. It's about being sure I can't hurt anyone.
secondnature: (i'm a little ashamed)

I want to make sure you can help yourself when this is all over.

That's all.

Though I guess I wouldn't blame you if you didn't want to have Galra tech attached to you forever.

Taking it off doesn't change anything that happened to me.

I still have options. Rhys made some suggestions, and the barriers Lance is talking about could keep me from using my arm on anyone.

Guess you're far enough along that you're going to have to worry about being close to anyone.

It wouldn't be safe, Keith.

[ already figured out where this train of thought is going :c ]
secondnature: (did you steal my rage)

I know. You're gonna have to tell Lance, too.

I'm doing what I can to make sure that everything is good. Do you want anything? A book? Or, I don't know. Something? I'm taking point on getting the supplies with everyone else.
racking: (59.)

[personal profile] racking 2017-03-12 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
I'll talk to him.

I could use a book. But don't prioritize it over the rest of the supplies. Would you keep an eye out for Aang too? If you could?

And be careful.
secondnature: (matching shiro!!!!)

[personal profile] secondnature 2017-03-12 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
A book's gonna be easier than half the stuff we're looking for. Don't worry about it.

I can look after Aang.

And don't worry. I'm not planning on getting sick.

I know.

Thank you, Keith. Let me know if there's anything else you need? Anything I can help with from here.


[ so pep talks, for a limited period of time. ]
secondnature: (did you steal my rage)

[personal profile] secondnature 2017-03-12 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I will.

[If asked, Keith would say he needs lots of pep talks.

But the reality is that he's actually doing okay without them. He just doesn't realize it. Not entirely.]
