3 Crystals [Video]

[The video shows Dagger, who looks like she's wet from being in the rain, and clearly sick from the occasional coughing fit. At least she appears to be in her room now, after doing a search for Zidane that was in vain]

[She knows that the message that the person is off the network is a sign that they have gone home, but it's Zidane. She still feels she has to look for him just to make sure.]

Has..[a cough] Has anyone seen a man named Zidane? He's blond and has a tail. He's a friend from my-

[and another coughing fit. This girl should not be up sitting in that chair]

His name is off the network but...I wanted to check before I assumed he was sent home- [And a sneeze! And if her shifting and expression says anything, she feels embarrassed she actually made this post- like a fool to assume it could mean something else for Zidane to have him gone]

Thanks for your time.

[And the feed cuts off]

[ Uhoh- that doesn't sound good. And Dagger doesn't look good. ]

Dagger? I .. haven't seen Zidane. But his device - is it - [ She pauses- hold on, she's actually going to check too, wincing a little at the lack of a result. ]

..I'm sorry, Dagger. I think... he's gone back. But you look awful - you've been helping out haven't you?

[ Just like Lucy and the others - but Lucy, while here hair was damp, at least was taking better care of herself. Like you should be, missy! Hopefully it's not the epidemic that's been going around, and just a nasty cold. ]

You should be resting.

Are you sure? Couldn't it be sign off if it got broken or something- he sometimes hits things if he doesn't know how they work-

[Okay, that's just reaching. She slumps her shoulders with another cough]

I'm fine, really.

[celestial_wizard]

I thought the same when Erza was sent back... but even if it's broken it would have some kind of response... I'm sorry.

[ She shakes her head. Don't make her come over there missy. . ... actualy she's probably going to do that anyway. ]

You're not. The way you're coughing and sneezing - and with everyone getting sick around here, you don't want to treat that lightly.

... do you want some company? [ She knows if Natsu were ever sent back she'd be a mess. And want company. Also this way she can try to help Dagger out a little. ]

[ Video ]

[lifemelody]

...It's not your fault.

[So Zidane really was gone...it hurts to think about. But he's better off at home, right? Maybe...]

[And the offer for company is tempting, it shows on her face. But man, she wants to be strong. So she'll try to protest a little]

I don't want to get you sick.

I'm sorry that I have to be the one to tell you this, though it's most likely he's gone home. I apologize for the text but my voice is not up to par at this time.

[It takes her a bit to reply, she's not really used to text]

Are you certain? That he's...

[Of course he is. The guy doesn't seem like he would have any reason to lie about it. ]

..Thank you for telling me. And it's alright, are you sick?

[vaudevil]

[He's not going to show his face when he looks like death warmed over. That's not Lee's style. He likes looking good, and being sick, yeah, so not becoming.]

You're welcome. I've had very close friends leave, so yes, I'm certain. I know what it feels like to lose a friend. Maybe someday they'll return.

Yes, I'm not myself at for the time being.

[Ah. Juvia remembers her from when she invaded visited Lucy's apartment. But unlike then, Juvia sounds stuffy thanks to the epidemic going about, which is probably why she's only on audio at the moment]

You're Dagger, a friend of Lucy's, right? Juvia is sorry, she doesn't think she's seen anyone like that around yet, but Juvia will keep an eye out.

[audio]

[lifemelody]

Yes, I am. [She remembers you! From the whole water incident yes]

Thank you, Juvia...though it sounds like he might have been sent back to our world.

[audio]

[drizzling]

Was he close to you?

[Because Juvia does know that feeling]

[ oh. alisha doesn't like the tone of this network post. she's not too familiar with people coming and going, but to see someone searching for someone who might not be here anymore … alisha turns on her communicator once she feels confident that she won't be having a coughing fit. ]

Haven't seen someone like that. [ she hasn't met many people, anyway, being new and all. so, to be helpful, and since this hospital is overcrowded as it is: ] Is he in the hospital?

video;

[lifemelody]

The hospital?

No...he wasn't sick before, and he'd be too stubborn to go himself.

video;

[aphrodisiacs]

Yeah - you sure? Maybe someone, you know, made him go. Some people are real sick and all. Maybe he - [ signed off from the network? is dead? alisha's not good at these pep talks. she's good at bringing people down, tearing them apart, but this? she can't do this. ]

[ she's too new for this place to know how to works. she doesn't want to feed anyone false information, let alone false hope. ] Sorry. Maybe I could go looking for him, when these nurses stop telling me to stay in bed.

[gunsling]

I can't say I've seen a guy like that in the first place, but I'll make sure it keep an eye out for him and send him right on up to the--

Uh... well, maybe it'd be better to wait on that part until after you've had a chance to recover.

[video]

[lifemelody]

[She coughs] I'm not that sick, Jake!

[Yes, yes she is]

[video]

[gunsling]

I'm no expert on these things, but you sure could have fooled me hacking away like that!

[brightsided]

Oooh... I know that name! I think I spoke to him once before... but I haven't seen him around in awhile. Are you a friend of his?

video;

[lifemelody]

[...figures a cute girl would be the one to know him. But another person who hasn't seen him in awhile]

Yes, we're both friends from the same world. When did you see him last?

video;

[brightsided]

[YUP...... it's ok he flirted with her at minimal.]

I see... Oh, um... It was awhile ago. We spoke briefly but that was it. I don't even remember exactly when it was.

video;

[bittertears]

I understand that you're worried about your friend, however...

I'm afraid I must insist that you return to bed and get some rest at once.

[lifemelody]

[NO SHE DON'T WANNA GO]

Alice, but [she'll cough] It's just a cold, I'm sure it sounds worse than it is.

video;

[bittertears]

[WHY YOU GOTTA BE DIFFICULT.]

Or perhaps you're not treating it as seriously as you should.

[painfeels]

Dagger?

[oh now! she's sick!]

Are you... Do you need anything? Why aren't you in bed?

video;

[lifemelody]

I'm- [she coughs] I'm fine really! It's just a cold!

video;

[painfeels]

You can't really tell me that and expect me to not worry about you!
