[Kat's journal opens with a CRASH. Nope, the castle hadn't forgotten about all the components she'd previously wished for in order to make her impressive armory, a hangar, and the FALCON. One wish for breakfast as she was finishing her morning routine brought it all down on her in one fell swoop, and for someone unused to feeling at such a disadvantage she'd lost her balance directly into her desk.]

Damnit, what the hell?

Kat? Are you okay?

[Washington had noticed something earlier. Something was very wrong. That crash had him knocking at her door.]

[inmylight_commander]

Relatively okay. One moment.

[Yes it was worrying, even for her, but since she wasn't bleeding out all over the floor she felt it wasn't exactly worth panicking. Making it across the room and to the door, however, was definately more arduous then she would have thought. By the time she reaches it and opens it for Washington, she has to lean against it to keep her balance.]

[dontpatr0nizeme]

Kat...

What happened? You wake up like this?

[Wash hasn't been feeling good since he woke up, really.]

[inmylight_commander]

I'm not sure. I was fine for my morning routine. [She gingerly motions him in and then turns and makes her way back to her desk to sit down. Her movement is definitely hindered, hunched and slow, and using heavy use of the wall for balance.]

You look like you haven't had the best morning, either.

[dontpatr0nizeme]

Well, I woke up feeling like I had a the universe's worse hangover. And considering I hadn't been drinking? That shouldn't be happening.

Come on. If whatever this is is hitting you this bad, you need to be in bed.

[inmylight_commander]

[Despite everything, Kat looks at him like he's crazy. Back in bed? Was he serious?] I'm not wasting an entire day in bed.

[And yet she still needs the wall for assistance standing.]

[dontpatr0nizeme]

You can barely walk, Kat. Please. Get back to bed.

Dictated

Noble Two?

[Only a breath before,] Sitrep.

Carolina

[inmylight_commander]

Dizzyness, intense headache, equalibrium difficulties. Symptoms came on simultaneously and without warning. Unsure of trigger. Still, alive and not bleeding, so I'm going to say 'green'.

Noble Two

[youfallback]

[Carolina groans quietly on her end.]

You're not the only one, then. I've seen reports cropping up in the journal of similar symptoms.

Carolina

[inmylight_commander]

Somehow I'm not reassured by that. What's your status?

Noble Two

[youfallback]

[Hesitating before,] Not much better than yours.

Carolina

[inmylight_commander]

Let's hope nothing catastrophic happens, then. The boys wouldn't know what to do. [Teasing, possibly.]

[encryptedlock]

Kat? What's up?

[She's not one to accidentally knock things over.]

[inmylight_commander]

Feeling a little under the weather, experiencing equilibrium difficulties. [She takes a breath, slightly labored,] Washington's here. Carolina's also checked in. Whatever it is I'm sure I'll be fine.

[encryptedlock]

[Oh sure, Carolina talks to her. Someone's still mad about that loss.]

Do Spartans even get the flu?

[inmylight_commander]

[Well. Kat's not the one dating her. XD ]

Not that I thought, until today.

[encryptedlock]

[No. Although that would be hot.]

There's no shame in taking it easy when you're sick, you know. If you push yourself too hard you'll just get worse, and then we'd all be in trouble if something came up.

[inmylight_commander]

Not like I really have a choice. I go to move and the room feels like it's falling.

[walkinthruwalls]

What happened?

[inmylight_commander]

Just having an issue with gravity right now, among other things. You hanging in there?

[walkinthruwalls]

Uh, just about. [ Nope. She also has wishitis ]

[inmylight_commander]

[Dryly,] Good to hear the castle hasn't changed much since my absence.

[walkinthruwalls]

I don't think it'll ever change.

[inmylight_commander]

-- and even if it did, I doubt any of us would believe it.
