[And after yet another fairly troublesome mishap in her room, Flora finally manages to turn her Gear on. She had been meaning to just send a private call, but it didn't look like that was possible now. Her skin's taken on a sickly yellow tint, with black lines creeping from her neck to her cheeks, and her dark eyes are now a bold ruby color. There's probably more where that came from, but she's got her blanket wrapped about her.

For a long second, Flora just stares at it, watching the blinking light flash back and forth, but then she sighs in relief.]

Oh, thank goodness, it's not... broken a-after all...

[She scoots a little closer, pulling the blanket tighter around herself to hide the marks.]

F-for... everyone... afflicted w-with... w-well, everything... I... I--hope we all f-find a cure soon! Just... h-hang in there!

[Bravest smile she can muster, before she wiggles closer to her Gear and reaches out for it, showing her black-marked yellow fingers for a split second before she pulls her hand back in. Nope, still afraid to touch it. A nervous glance at the gear, then at the door.]

...P-professor?

A little... help... here?]

[But thankfully, her Mareep, who's been watching this entire scene sadly from the side of the room, takes pity on her and goes to turn the connection off for her.]

[Flora carefully eased the door open from her position kneeling on the floor, and she gave him a pathetic smile.]

Y-yeah... I'm... I'm okay... A-are you feeling any better?

[She notices the red and just thinks that his fever's spiked. Oh Luke...]

[He pulls the blanket closer, also hiding the black-tipped yellow horns that have been growing from his head. He sniffs a little, rubbing his face with his sleeve.]

I-I think I'm f-feeling w-worse, actually. W-what do you t-think is happening to us?

[Oh, she does not like the sound of that. With a soft sigh, she pulls herself to her feet so she can pull Luke into her room. They can both sit on her bed and be miserable together for a while.]

I don't know... No one d-does, b-but some p-people are trying to f-figure... it out.

[She twitches and almost drops her blanket. With a small meep of surprise, she quickly pulls it over her again.]

[Luke doesn't get to see her without the blanket long enough for him to notice the changes, but he will curl up next to her on the bed.]

I-I hope t-they figure it out s-soon. I-I hate b-being s-sick.

[Yay, cuddle time. She tries to bring her blanket around them both so they can sit and be miserable and warm together.]

M-me too. It's... i-it's quite rotten! W-well... let's not... focus on it t-too much, alright? W-want to... solve a p-puzzle?

[He curls up under the blanket with her, already feeling a bit more comforted with her near.

He perks up at the word "puzzle".]

S-sure! W-which ones d-do you know?
