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.))

[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? ♪

[onethirdthesoul]

...Nothing.

[He gifts his head a quick shake.]

Why are you trying to sell me life insurance?

[roadroller]

[side eye for the bag boy.]

What... do you mean? ♪

[onethirdthesoul]

Just now, you were talking about "Shelter Insurance" and-- [He shakes his head.]

Nevermind. Are you okay?

[roadroller]

Ehh? No I wasn't, I'm fine! Are you okay?

[makes another casual swipe at the bag]

[onethirdthesoul]

But you--aaaAAh! [Another bag is found underneath, and Ryou waves his hands frantically as he puts distances between them.]

Rin-chan, please!

[roadroller]

[looks like she's gonna take another swipe, but her hand pauses midway.]

Packed with slow-release energy to keep you going. Weetabix. Fuel for big days.

[onethirdthesoul]

[Ryou scoots even further away, well out of reach.]

Rin-chan... Do you have a virus? [Those advertisements...] Oh! Or maybe you're getting some interference. Like with radios.

[roadroller]

Virus? ♪

[She immediately tenses, since that's the scariest question you can ask a robot.]

I... I don't know! I don't feel any slower, but is something going on? ♪

[onethirdthesoul]

Ah... Well don't panic. It's just that you keep reciting advertisements. Aren't you noticing them?

[roadroller]

Not at all! I'm not doing them on purpose! ♪

[onethirdthesoul]

Huh, well... Don't you have some sort of anti-virus software you can run? [Man, he doesn't know how Vocaloids work.]

[roadroller]

I'm gonna!! ♪

[she puts her hands on her head and looks like she's focusing intensely, at the same time like she has a major headache.]

[onethirdthesoul]

... [Okay, well... He'll just stand here and stare then. How weird.]

[roadroller]

[she looks up at him after a moment]

I found the malware. I'm going to try to repair it myself. If that doesn't work- Radio Shack: You've got questions, we've got answers.

[onethirdthesoul]

Good luck...! [He will cheer her on. Awkwardly, but he'll do it!!]

1/2

[roadroller]

[MORE STRAINING...!!!]

[roadroller]

All right! I think I did it!

[she jumps in the air victoriously... and then her legs freeze in place and she falls flat on her face.]

[onethirdthesoul]

Oh, goo--Uwwwaaah!

[He jumps back, which is just the opposite of trying to catch her. Oops.

Ryou hurries to her side afterward, crouching down and trying to help her up.]

What happened?! Did you get the blue screen of death? Rin-chan, speak to me! One zero zero zero one one one!?

[roadroller]

Owww... I think my joints stopped working. That's too cruel!

[they creak if she tries to move them. But she's grateful he sat her up anyway.]

[onethirdthesoul]

Um... [Wow, they're creaking! That's bizarre.]

Maybe you need to oil them?

[roadroller]

... Shit, I hope not. I would have to take off my skin to do that ... ♪

[onethirdthesoul]

Eeee--! [Ryou recoils and screams on the inside. He talks through clenched teeth.]

OKAY...LATER THEN...CAN I HELP YOU IN ANY OTHER WAY?
