I was born with a thirst for knowledge, what can I say.

Yes, I am still intent to check on you. And your roommate. Is he ill with the same symptoms?

[fooloftheking]

Never got why people became doctors. I don't like dealing with myself when I don't feel good. Which thankfully I haven't had to do for a century.

[There's a long gap between the first text and the next.

north village, grey with white shutters. just behind the inn up here.

the couggh is kicking my ass.

and yeah i think so. sounds like it. haven't seen him, but the other roommate seems fine and he told me he was doing pretty bad, especially with the fever.

maybe like rambling or hallucinating he said.

[locum_tenens]

I never became a doctor, I simply pursued knowledge until I had a thorough working of philosophy and medicine.

No one has died on me so far.

[ Not that she has many patients. ]

I'll begin my walk. Keep talking, or I'll believe you've passed out and stop walking. My talents are with the living, not in undertaking.

Your third roommate has shown no symptoms at all? Perhaps he's the carrier.

[fooloftheking]

boy thats ressuring. totally. sarcasm doesnt work in text but imagine it does.

these things need real keybrds. hands shaking.

you know i totally believe thats the case. he just arrived. hes obvisouly patient 0

[locum_tenens]

Take your time. I've got a while to walk, I'm not desperate for each text.

When did he arrive in contrast to you getting sick? How many days?

[fooloftheking]

about ten days or so? No more than 2 weeks.

[locum_tenens]

Unless he's been incubating it for weeks, I'm afraid your new roommate isn't likely the carrier.

[fooloftheking]

You're ruining my fun you know.

i didnt even know i could get sick.

[locum_tenens]

What, by being realistic?

You're clearly ill now. Perhaps you were just lucky before. Every human has an immune system, after all.

[fooloftheking]

yes by being realistic

im not human. havent been for a century and a half now

[locum_tenens]

I'm painfully true to reality. Sorry.

If you're not human, what are you? Robot? Creature?

[fooloftheking]

reality is based on our view, which only makes it real to us.

[He's too sick, too out of it, not to be honest. Even if honesty in and of itself hurts, nearly as much as the coughing, as the pain that courses through his chest.]

demon, so i guess creature.

[locum_tenens]

I thought demons were a thing of storybooks. What makes you so different than a real human being?

[fooloftheking]

i died 150 yrs ago and went 2 hell. came back and havent died since then.

know many humans thatve done that?

[locum_tenens]

Are you being literal about hell?

If so, what's there?

[fooloftheking]

very literal. and torture and fire and pain. a lot of pain and torture.

[locum_tenens]

Are you sure you weren't simply convinced that you had died and were undergoing that? The human mind can be a very delicate thing.

[fooloftheking]

Well aware. So were the others that went through it. The human mind is one thing. Curses are another.

[locum_tenens]

I don't think they have to be all that different. The mind can break very easily, given the right pressure.

[fooloftheking]

yeah i know. i make a practice of it. which im wondering if you do too. you dont take like the broken as much as the breaker.

[locum_tenens]

I'm a healer, but I also take action when it's required. I assure you, it's never unprompted.

Do you have an issue with that?

[fooloftheking]

no actually like it. unprompted isnt horrible.

[locum_tenens]

Not always, but only when they deserve it.

You're ill and talking nonsense, I think, but I also believe that you think there's such a thing as hell and that you've been there.

[fooloftheking]

im curious your define of deserve it

im ill and talking same thing before i got the plague.

how many are sick?

[locum_tenens]

Murderers. Those who kill my family. Those who would make a young girl scared with their sex. Do you disagree?

Half the population, roughly. Does that change anything?
