Um, hello everyone.

For those of you who don't know me, I'm Xiuhtonal, the Public Relations manager here. But that's not really why I'm talking to all of you now.

[She fidgets slightly, obviously nervous about something.] It's actually about Lorris, the current Speaker. He... Seems to have gotten a little bit sick. I'm sure it's not the fever! But still, there is cause to worry... He's currently in quarantine at the hospital, so please keep him in your thoughts everyone. Or your prayers, if you do that sort of thing.

Um. Yes. That is all. Thank you for listening!

fuck

[greentalk]

No! Nonono, I'm sure it's going to be completely fine in a few days. He's probably just got a little cold.

[wwaterboy]

wwell hes in quarantine or wwhatevver right
wwhat if he really has it an it gets out into the populace
it could be a fuckin CATASTROPHE YOU KNOWW THAT XIU

[namigational]

...define "sick".

[greentalk]

Well that's not going to happen okay!!

He's in quarantine anyway, so even if he does happen to have it, it's not going to get out.

[greentalk]

He had a bit of a fever and a cough. I was the one who took him to the hospital, but I doubt it's so serious as to need all that. He just wants to be cautious I'm sure.

[namigational]

If he does have the virus, will you send him somewhere?

[whomheloved]

I hope he'll be feeling better soon, he was very kind the one time I spoke with him.

[wwaterboy]

wwell thats somethin i guess

[deusexhormones]

[You know given how he worked things out with Idra diplomatically...

...

That's really not good.]

[greentalk]

But he's not going to die, Eridan! Stop being so negative.

[greentalk]

Well, he's in quarantine now, so if that's the case... We'll just deal with him like we've dealt with the other people who have fallen to it.

[greentalk]

Yes, he's a really good Speaker too. I'm sure it's nothing though! No need to be worried, really!

[whomheloved]

...are you sure? [There's just a bit too much cheerful emphasis on not worrying over there.]

[wwaterboy]

yeah sure okay
theres no need to be negativve yeah

[greentalk]

There we go. That's the attitude we need, Mr. Grumpy Gills!

[greentalk]

Positive! [Xiuhtonal tends to do that. Especially when she gets nervous.]

This seems like a good opportunity to get to know the lovely higher ups around this place. Hello, I'm Henry...and I'm sorry to hear that about Lorris.

[unfathomabubbly]

Is he going to die? Water you doing with the body after?

[ Feferi, what kind of question is that? Stop that. ]

Re: video

[greentalk]

I'm Xiuhtonal! Or just Xiuh, if that's easier for you. And I'm not really much of a higher up. I'm just the PR person. [She laughs, and completely tries to ignore the circumstances they're meeting under]

[greentalk]

No! Of course not! He'll be just fine! [She says, completely in denial.]

[unfathomabubbly]

[ She can't ferret that bit of information out, but she can continue to be weird. ]

But if he did die, what'd you do? Toss him right in the water for the fishes?

[greentalk]

W-well... No, not exactly. We'd probably, um. Burn the body I guess? That's the only way we can be sure we kill the virus if that is what he's sick with...

[unfathomabubbly]

Hmmm, whale... okay then! I guess that answers that.

[ She sounds a little disappointed, really. ]

[greentalk]

[She's not sure she wants the answer to this, but...]

You didn't want to... Eat him... Did you?
