Diane ... fever still high.

[Oh hi there Coop - been pretty quiet on the network lately, haven't you? And go figure that this time, it's a mistake to adress it anyway. But he's feverish enough not to question the fact that he's speaking into his Gear, not his usual audio recorder. He sounds tired and weak and somewhat scratchy, and like he has minor trouble articulating the words.]

Persistant pain and soreness in my back and ... [Lengthy, troubled pause.] ... I have to say, Diane, whatever these things are, they're causing me a lot of trouble.

Skin still turning rusty, although thankfully not in a literal sense. The patterns are similar to Lichtenberg figures, but I can't ...

[Trails off. Sighs.]

I find it difficult to think like this, much less speculate. Buddha once said that the mind can't be strong and clear if the body isn't kept in good health, but this is an illness I don't know how to fight.

I believe perhaps some air would do me good.

[ACTION for Ecruteak; He's out in the rain. For once, he's dressed very casually - t-shirt and jeans, actually - but that's not the most eye-catching thing right now. Like many others, he's got Symptoms. And his are of the Level 5 Fire variety. Skin is a mottled brown-red hue down his back and shoulders and upper arms, that are also lined with darker, feathery lines. Entei's influence is clear in the broken mask on his face and spikes down his back. He's not particularly happy ... but at least he's not the only one looking abnormal.]

_{[And you know what - being in it will probably be good for Cooper, who actually lets out a sigh of relief upon stepping into the room. The chill air that makes his own hot breath come out as steam hits him immediately and he remains standing in the doorway for a moment to just absorb it.]

[But he closes the door behind him after that second and enters the room, looking curiously at the details now when he spots them. The frost, especially. Hiccup himself, particularly. He looks like he suffers, and seeing his mutations up close, it's even more clear why.]}

-- Hi yourself.

Did this..?

_{[He's not even sure what he's asking, but his telling look around the room might make it clear anyway.]}

[Coop isn't the only one taking in the details. Hiccup's doing his own silent inspection of the man's severe mutations while basking in the radiating heat. Already he can feel his temperature rising, and soon enough he'll be shedding a few of those blankets he's wrapped in.

The question brings him back, though, and makes him inspect his room. He doesn't know what Cooper's trying to ask, but...]

It s-s-started last n-night... F-from the cold.

From your cold?

_{[As in - was it the boy's cold affecting the room, or the room affecting him? Coop guesses with certainty on the former, but he's never been one to assume.]

[He turns slowly in place, watches the room and the things in it, but his focus is on Hiccup much much more than anything else.]}
