[ there's an amateur shaky-cam feel to the video, which is not pointed at Cash like it usually would be. It's not really pointed at anything at the moment - it's kind of pointed at everything. Her room is trashed, furniture overturned and belongings strewn everywhere. When the camera stops moving wildly, there's mostly floor, and a corner of what appears to be a blanket. ]

My hair is falling out! [ it’s obviously Cashmere’s voice, though it’s taken on a crazy edge from not sleeping and the general panic that’s set in. She sounds totally off-kilter. The camera swings again, stopping on a pile of bright blonde hair that yanked straight out while she was brushing it. Maybe this seems like a fairly insignificant event to other people, but from her tone it's obviously very upsetting to her. ]

Something’s happening. Something bad is happening.

[ More camera movement, and this time she accidentally catches a glimpse of her hand - long fingernails and unnaturally white skin. ]

One of you did this to me. And I am going to find you. And I’m going to kill you.

...I'll take your word for the second one.

[The first assertion may be just a liiittle questionable, but fighting it too much at this point is probably a lost cause. Not needing help, though--hell, how many times has he insisted that himself? Even if she looks like she may be falling apart physically, at least she seems to still have pride. He has to respect that.]

And no, I don't think you did. It's gotta be a--a germ or whatever. Anybody cough on you lately?

[64th]

What? No. No one coughed on me.

Does this look like someone coughed on me? No. Someone cursed me.

[foundafamily]

Cough or anything that could make you sick. That's all you look to me--you seriously think a curse is more likely?

[He's new.]

[64th]

Yeah I think a curse is more likely! [ her tone says this is perhaps the stupidest thing anyone has ever said to her. ]

Where the fuck are you from? People get colds and turn into bald weirdos?

[foundafamily]

Not colds. But real bad sicknesses, sure.

[It's easier for him to shove things into categories he already understands. It must be a sickness, because he doesn't want to think about anything else.

A pause, and then he can't resist:]

So you're sayin' you're a bald weirdo?

[64th]

[ a pause of her own. ]

That's not what I said. [ yes it is. ]

[foundafamily]

Then who were you talkin' about, huh?
