[Normally, Brook would be perfectly happy to make a video post. It'd just be like his weekly recorded updates for his blog back home. Given the state he's in, though, he doesn't want to risk putting his face on camera. What if he looks as bad as he feels?

Why does he feel bad in the first place? Nothing makes any sense.]

ok, i know that for whatever reason, everyone's powers and shit have been weakened since they got here.
but has anybody else been feeling... weird?
like wobbly or your head hurting. or your legs not working right.
or like you have to lie down for a while until your eyes go back to normal.
idk, is this smth else that just happens here like weeds trying to eat you?

((OOC: Brook just hasn't realized that nerfing means he has to eat and sleep now, so he's been wandering around on little more than a Starbucks cake pop and no rest for days. That said, once people help him figure that out, he'll likely react to the thought of eating with disgust. This might hit a little close to disordered eating patterns, so please keep yourself safe if that's a trigger! Brook also has a permissions page with a long list of content warnings and an opt-out form, because I'm the Grim Reaper is a minefield of common triggers, and I don't want to suddenly spring anything unwanted on anyone.))

( why worry about hiding your face when it's sooooooooooo much more convenient than texting. )

What, never had a hangover before?

[How is he supposed to attain social media stardom if he looks half-dead? Just because he's all-dead doesn't mean he has to show it!]

no
wouldn't i have to drink alcohol for that?

[fauned]

( social media stardom.......... do we have an influencer in our midst. )

If you have enough of it, sure! But maybe you don't remember? That happens to me sometimes. It's so easy to lose track.

Despite the weakening of my typical abilities, I cannot say it has made me feel much differently except for he gaping hole in my chest where one of my senses used to be…

It has not made me physically ill though. Have you tried speaking with one of the healers who have made themselves known around here?

[reaperrabbit]

like a doctor or some kind of magical healing person?
actually it doesn't matter either way ig. i'm new here, i don't know anybody like that.

[abit_ofboth]

I would leave that decision up to you. I would guess they are both capable.

Hmm, I'm afraid I didn't take note of names, but I do recall a few making themselves known. I bet if you request someone, they will come to you. Healers always seem like the do-good type, they would hardly be able to say no.

Nothing to that degree, but whatever's happening with you doesn't sound typical.

Would you feel comfortable if I examined you briefly? I'm one of the doctors in our... diverse group currently present.

no

[Well, Daan asked.]

[limbical]

Huh.

Well, I can't make you. Good luck figuring your shit out, then. You seem to be doing a great job of that so far.

[scowlish]

How long have you been feeling that way?

[reaperrabbit]

like a day or 2.
it slowly got worse after a while.

[scowlish]

It's not normal. Maybe you're sick. Have you noticed a rash anywhere?

[Hopefully not. So far he's been pretty convinced this place is free from the Rash.]

[evangelclairvoyance]

I personally haven't felt anything of the sort, no.

You didn't drink any of the tea in the greenhouse, did you?

[reaperrabbit]

no, ofc not. a dude posted a video the other day showing a girl who got poisoned there and died. i'm not stupid.

[The truth of that statement remains to be seen.]

[evangelclairvoyance]

[Oh good. He's smarter than a fair number of people. Christo'll count this as a stroke of luck.]

That's one cause eliminated, then. Any ailments you've been using magic to compensate for?

Anything else you may have eaten or drank prior to these episodes?

[matermali]

Until your eyes go back to normal? In what way do they seem abnormal if you don't lie down?

Visions?

[reaperrabbit]

no, like... your eyesight going fuzzy or seeing dark spots at the edges. light hurting to look at. that kind of thing.

[matermali]

Do you feel anything else when this happens? How often does it occur?

private! un: InspectorConstable?

[cupperty]

Oh, I think I might know what you mean! It's very inconvenient, isn't it? I find that if you lie down on a bench and close your eyes for a few hours, quite often the feeling goes away.

[ they need to make some kind of 'new to having a corporeal body' club ]

private!

[reaperrabbit]

[Brook's used to being corporeal, at least. He's just not used to it sucking like this.]

really? huh. if true, that's a p. easy fix.
kinda like sleeping, almost.

[cupperty]

[ they would like to file several complaints! ]

Oh, is that what it is? I've just been calling it 'lying down on a bench and closing my eyes until things feel better.'

Has your torso felt hollow as well? Someone gave me something called a 'funnel cake' and that helped quite a bit!
