CAMPUS WIDE EVENT: SPRING FEVER

[intercom_voice]

[Today, the lovely denizens of the Campus will wake up to a beautiful spring morning. Birds are chirping, flowers are blooming, and pollen is in there. But this isn't just any pollen, the kind that afflicts the allergy prone to months of watery eyes and sneezing, oh no, this pollen is far more potent.

This morning, you will wake up with exactly one menial illness. It won't kill you, it won't even really hurt you, but it will be a constant annoyance to you for the next week. Sicknesses range from sneezes and rashes to spontaneous floral growth out of the forehead region. Really, anything goes.]

((ooc: okay, so, feel free to give your characters whatever silly or petty illness you want! This event ends on the 25th. Our cooperative event has been postponed due to a lack of feedback/interest--since it's an event that requires at least a small group of people to be active in.))

[Rin actually looks pretty healthy.... but unfortunately, she has been afflicted with the terrible disease of pop-up advertisements! Prepare to have your conversations interrupted by random topic changes to things like fast food and car insurance. Or things like this-]

CONGRATULATIONS, you're the one millionth visitor~! Click here to claim your free iPod mini!

[but she's a person, where are you supposed to click!?]

[onethirdthesoul]

[Ryou is currently wearing a bag over his head, and he sounds snuffy.]

Rin-chan...

[roadroller]

[SMILING SMILING and the "commercial" ends so she now looks vaguely confused]

Wait what. [when did this bag person get here.]

....Uhh, Ryou-kun? Is that you? ♪

[swiping at the bag because she's forever nosy and grabby.]

[onethirdthesoul]

Rin--DON'T--!

[He reaches out in a panic to stop her, but it's too late. She pulls off the bag, revealing a second, smaller bag underneath.]

[roadroller]

...Well! You came prepared, I'll give you that.

[immediately seguing]

There's nothing like a good backup plan. If you have a life insurance policy to work, you may already have one. But what if they decide to discontinue it? Talk to a Shelter Insurance agent! Learn what life insurance can do for you!

[and back]

But seriously, what's with the bag? ♪

[fluffydeathdealer]

[What the hell is with this girl? Just rambling away like that, talking to the air about a free... something? What's an iPod mini? Having little to no knowledge of the internet, he has been blessed by not knowing about popup ads.

Still, there is cause for some amusement here in that she's saying such nonsense at all. Casually, he strolls over, lifts a hand - and pokes her on the nose.]

Click.

[The delivery of that word cannot get more deadpan.]

[roadroller]

[Rin blinks. That seems to have confused her.]

Um, did you just boop my nose? ♪

[fluffydeathdealer]

You said to click you. So I clicked.

[Bakura laughs, shrugging broadly.]

Or was I meant to click elsewhere?

[roadroller]

Uh. [scratching her head] Maybe in my software? I already forgot telling you! When was it, shounen powerup Ryou-kun? ♪

[she's already met a YB and formed very odd preconceptions. Have fun with that.]

[onethirdthesoul]

EEYAAAAAAAAHHHHH!

[From down the hall, a girl's shrill scream can be heard. Of course if you look for the source you'll find that it's only Ryou. As for what he was screaming about, well...

It seems he's been afflicted with Werewolf Syndrome.]

[replicatastrophe]

[Aside from still being a little sore about his whole situation, X feels perfectly fine. Fine enough to keep looking around at the very least, since there's a lot more of this place to see. But it seems he isn't paying quite enough attention to where he's going, catching himself against a corner as he turns it--

And promptly kicking a dent in it with a loud, livid snarl.

...Maybe more than a little sore?]

((ooc: mood swing virus or...somesuch. Yes!))

[onethirdthesoul]

[Ryou lets out a squeak of surprise from nearby. Notably, he's also wearing a paperbag over his head.]

...Are you okay?

[replicatastrophe]

[Turning to yell at Ryou instead of the corner, fists clenched.] I'm fine!

[onethirdthesoul]

[MEEP. Ryou shrinks away.]

Um...okay! I believe you. [He just smiles happily. LOOK. LOOK HOW HAPPY IS...PLEASE CALM DOWN.]

[replicatastrophe]

[You're wearing a bag, son, he can't see all that happy. But he may feel it, because with a blink his posture relaxes and he smiles.]

Yes, I'm fine. But thank you for the concern.

[lumineinfinitus]

[Arriving in an unknown, strange place was bad enough. Especially since he had no actual memory of teleporting or being assigned to or... even walking here. But what had made it worse was something he'd noticed the moment he'd tried calming down the nurse and finally just left the infirmary to not give Lisa a heart attack.

Namely, the fact that some virus has gotten past all his system's failsafes and is completely mucking up his language and translator systems. WHAT IS THIS.]

Что происходит?!

[replicatastrophe]

[He's almost too angry to notice anything he passes by. Almost. Luckily an outburst in a foreign language is enough to make him turn his head--and stop completely in his tracks.

And just. Stare, like he's seen a ghost.]

[lumineinfinitus]

[There's many things X tends to be, but unaware isn't one of them. He feels someone's eyes on him and looks around, spotting Copy X before too long.

...Huh. He looks... odd. Almost familiar, in a weird way, but he can't entirely place it.]

О, привет. ...Что-то не так?

[replicatastrophe]

[It takes him a moment, but he finally finds his voice again. Now, instead of shaking in anger, shaking in fear.]

Y-you...who are you? Identify yourself...! Now!

[roadroller]

[More robots! Cool. Rin gives him a wave.]

Hey there! ♪

[lumineinfinitus]

[Huh, a cute little girl. It's clear she's not human, but it's also clear she's not a combat Reploid, either. Which means this place probably is a school like it looks.

Maybe.]

Здравствуйте! [He smiles a little sheepishly, not even sure if she speaks whatever the hell he's talking in. His systems are so scrambled he can't tell.] Не думаю, что вы можете понять меня?

[roadroller]

[... New robot is Russian. Ok then.]

Oh... sorry, I don't understand! Do you speak any Japanese? ♪

[fluffydeathdealer]

[OH GOD NO, DON'T TELL HIM THE LANGUAGE CURSE IS BACK- wait.]

Uhm. Are you alright?

[He seems to be speaking normally... right? But then, he hadn't noticed when the language curse was going on.]

[lumineinfinitus]

Количество Что-то не так с моей системой переводчик.

[He doesn't expect the kid to understand him, but the sigh and X holding his hands up helplessly should give an indication of his meaning anyway.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

[...'Kolichestvo...' what? He doesn't know the language at all. Not even enough to recognize it. But the guy seems to be okay, just troubled. Though one of the words there he might know. 'systemoy' sounds like system.]

Hm... [Reaching out, he pats him on the shoulder comfortingly.] Are you a robot, I wonder...?
