If I may, I request your attention for a short while.

[This mystery illness has taken a toll on Minfilia, and she's far from a pretty sight, with her nose and eyes red and the rest of her far too pale. She's not slept well, and any useful time awake she spends in weary attempts to find anything that might help all of them...if not feel better, then at least not get any worse. Really, she's rather stunned she managed to get the watch to do what she wanted, which is a feat even when she isn't a dizzy and congested mess.]

None of us are wont to suffer the symptoms of whatever is plaguing us for one moment longer than necessary. [She hopes.] In the last few days I have witnessed several sets of hands and minds at work in pursuit of a solution.

[A pause for a sound sneeze and a bit of coughing, which she tries her best to keep well away from the recording. The remainder of the message sounds as if someone is holding her nose, but there's nothing to be done about it now.]

Until now, these disparate but dedicated souls have, to my knowledge, proceeded tirelessly - and apart. We should all be better served by combining what we know has helped, and what has already proven itself of little use. To that end, I propose that all those striving for both treatment and cure convene as soon as possible, today if we can. The earlier talk of organizing aid and proper supplies will be invaluable as well. The kitchens ought to be sizable enough to hold a crowd.

I know also that a fair few of you wish to venture forth, or have done so, on temple grounds or out in the wilds, to further the chance at finding aught of use. Those who are well enough to travel could thereby divide into larger and more organized groups for continued investigation.

[This is wearing her out, and it's only talking and putting the words together in proper order.]

I look forward to working together in person.

[[ooc: So! A meeting in the kitchen after lunch - feel free to mingle as well as video chat! Primarily she's thinking they really ought to work together to go deeper into the temple or the forest, or both, because this is only getting worse for most people.]]

[ on the contrary, the woman on this end of the video looks completely healthy. Being an android does have its perks. ]

If you think there's some kind of medicine outside this area, I can search for it.

[ resource gathering isn't supposed to be her job, but she ends up doing it a lot, anyway. Right now, there's little else she can do; walking around with nothing to occupy her but her thoughts and her concern that these humans are going to fall prey to some mystery illness is miserable.

Also, her understanding of how sickness and medicine work is rudimentary at best. If that isn't obvious. ]

[ +1 to the unaffected crew. He's similar to an android, but not exactly one - though, the most eye-catching part of his appearance is the pair of horns on his head, with a scaled luster similar to Auri horns. ]

I have gone hunting in the woods. It is not easy, but I can provide for some food.

It's good of you to try and organize people even when you're clearly not feeling well, yourself.

[Minfilia does look rough around the edges, but Aerith certainly admires her dedication.]

You're right, we should be working together. I'm a more recent arrival, and I've been lucky enough not to get sick— what do you think we might find further out? [She presses her lips together for a moment, fretful.] I know a lot about plants and gardening, but I can't even begin to tell what's making the plantlife here sick. Assuming it's the same thing effecting the people here, then being able to figure out the source would make it easier to find a remedy for both.

[There's a faint edge to her voice, one of frustration. This is a situation in which her natural-given talents with both plants and healing should be of great help, but the first hasn't done her much good so far, and the second isn't available here at all. She's annoyed by the fact that she feels out of her depth when any other time, she would be the ideal person to step in and help.]

[Bear with him, Zack is very new to this new piece of technology on his wrist so his face might just be a tad too close.]

I only got here just recently but from the looks of it, no one is safe from whatever flu or fever is going around. It 's a nasty bug. I'm fine so far but I'm not counting my chickens just yet.

If you need people to go off to look for anything that might help out I want to be on that team. I think I'll be better used out there than in here.

[Because he's no healer and has no healing materia on him (not that it would work, anyway). So getting put to good use elsewhere is exactly what he wants.]

Looks like you could use a rest yourself too, though. Take it easy?
