Tadchaen-a-Min (Forward dated to sometime that is obscenely early in the morning)

[Someone is paying the price of room redecorating/expanding via wishing. And is stubbornly sitting at her desk, attempting to continue working despite her misery. It also happens to be the first time she has ever been sick- elf immunity, you know.]

[Filtered from first gens, their allies, or anyone who would pass information on to them]

I find it curious that there has been so little discussion regarding what was discovered in that alternate realm not long ago. Mayhaps many do not wish to dwell on it. Such an attitude is more than understandable and yet I think it important to—

[There’s some rustling as she cuts herself off and reaches for a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her brow. How is she sweating when she has chills? She’s exhausted, sweating, freezing, and generally feeling miserable. And she certainly sounds it when she speaks again.]

Forgive me, I seem to be somewhat unwell. [A pause as she gathers herself enough to continue.]

I also wish to enquire about an upcoming expedition. I believe I have heard it mentioned, but there is precious little information about.

[There’s some more rustling as she shifts restlessly in her seat and then the journal catches her muttering to herself:] I do not know how mortals endure this.

...Feeling okay there?

It is nothing too serious, I think. [But she sounds rather miserable.]

and ever!

[wilder]

Hmmmm...

Didn't eat any bad cooking, did you? [LIKE RAINE'S COUGH]

Galadriel

[unnaturalpause]

[Oh he sounds so amused by this and yet concerned.]

Not feeling well?

James Watson

[inafadingcrown]

[You are not allowed to sound amused, sir.]

It is strange. My kind do not take ill.

Galadriel

[unnaturalpause]

[Oh please, yes he is. He's not bothered by this at all, you're the one who thought it was dumb to come out here.]

No, I imagine they do not. [He sounds thoughtfully amused at least, if that's at all possible.] What is it that's bothering you, and I can see what it is I can do about it.

Galadriel

[amiable]

Unwell? [ That's the first thing she notices. ] What's wrong?

Uru

[inafadingcrown]

[Of course that's the first thing Uru notices.] It is nothing serious, I think. Were I not of Elven kind, I would say I have fall ill, but...

Galadriel

[amiable]

[ That's worrying!! ]

But?!

[heloise]

You are ill, Galadriel?

[inafadingcrown]

So it seems. [And she does not sound happy right now.] I am inclined to believe the castle is amusing itself at my expense, for ordinarily elves do not take ill.

[heloise]

Never? What if a mosquito bites you, Galadriel, would you stay healthy even then?

[atrophied]

Because we have to. Motrin helps out too. [ The very helpfulest. ]

[inafadingcrown]

[Actually, he's the first to recommend medicine. So, kind of helpful? Doesn't prevent her from sounding mildly irritated, though because 1) sick and 2) he's House.]

And what, pray tell, is this "Motrin?"

[ To troll or not to troll? Nah, let's be helpful. ]

Trade name for ibuprofen. Good for fever, pain, inflammation and dysmenorrhea. Do elves menstruate? [ And then ruin it at the end. ]

[For once Conan was not feeling ill in the least. His insistence on remaining skeptical about the source of the wishes had saved him from the worst of the current situation.

...Which had left him with nothing to do but think about the castle and worry over the sudden epidemic of illness.]

It is very important, I think. All of it. Is there truly another expedition starting soon?

...Do you need to see a doctor?

[inafadingcrown]

I do not know, in truth. I have it heard it casually mentioned here and there, but I know nothing more.

[She sighs a little.] I am speaking to two at the moment and I am a healer myself. I believe I will manage.

[ninjainviolet]

[Sheena doesn't know this person, and Elf or not, something's wrong, and she's going to make sure she's okay.]

Are you sure you should be thinking about an expedition right now?

[inafadingcrown]

With luck and the favor of the Valar, this will pass ere any plans come to fruition.

But you have my thanks for your concern.

[walkinthruwalls]

You're not the only one. [ Ow. Ow ]

[inafadingcrown]

It is as I thought, then. This is likely the castle's doing.

[formercheerio]

Expeditions? As in exploring this place?

[inafadingcrown]

Precisely. They are organized every so often here.

[loisfuckinglane]

Were you a part of that journey into the mirror realm?

[inafadingcrown]

I was not, though several of those dear to me were.
