[for once, not using voice or video. He doesn't want to appear weak and, well, his voice is already raspy enough, don't want to lose it]

quick survey, who is feeling ill? from the cases I've seen this could be a widespread outbreak but I don't want the lot of you turning up at the clinic and infecting each other unless it's serious.

rest and fluids unless you have a serious fever, aches, or trouble breathing. I have medications to relieve some symptoms but nothing to cure it.

caution: I cannot find a source of the infection. it behaves like influenza but there is no virus to be found. believe me I've tried. lack of virus may mean it won't actually spread but I have a very bad feeling about this. I haven't been ill since I was thirteen and yet it got me. I should be able to remove viruses from my system but there is nothing to remove. that means this is dangerous. an epidemic, maybe.


[yeah there's that paranoia setting in...]

limit contact with the ill unless it's an emergency. don't come crying to me if your nose is a little runny, I don't want to see you unless you're about to die.

No doubt.

I really do have a cold, though. And this is very strange. Elves don't get sick. [ But they do resort to sarcastic humor when they are injured. And that's the only reference he has for this strange phenomenon. ]

Yes. We are tough. But it's more that our physical bodies were created not to be susceptible to illness. [ Sudden SNEEZE. ] Excuse me. [ He pulls out his handkerchief and there is the sound of a nose being blown. ]

YOU CALLING ME SICK???

[ Yes, and paranoid. ]

I will not be accused of sneezing by a third-rate pirate!!! [ SNEEZE ]

[ Spoken by a fourth-rate pirate. ]

Besides, you just coughed!

I never said you never said you weren't sick!

[ This is beginning to sound like an argument between ten-year-olds. ]

Hahaha, you don't deny you're a pirate. [ Cough cough laugh ]

Heh. I never said I was sane. Or that I ever had any faculties to lose. Say, maybe you should come over. Four sick Feanorians, what a way to brighten up your day!

[ But he's sounding a little less frenetic. ]

I have nothing against pirates. [ He'd better not! Considering his own history. ]

[ Curufin is wondering the same ]

I'm already exposing them, and so is Celebrimbor. And I think I'm hearing sniffles from Maglor and Fingon. But you don't have to come over. I don't think there is anything anybody can do for us. I'm hoping it won't last long.

But what about you? You sound a little grouchy and sneezy, but are you otherwise all right?

[ Softly ] I hope so. [ His tone says strongly that he suspects Law is not fine. ]

But I'll keep it in mind. . . if we have an emergency. Thank you, Law.
