[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.

[reaperrabbit]

[Yes, absolutely. He has almost one hundred entire followers after years and years of blogging, how do you do, fellow youths.]

no way. i think that stuff's disgusting.
and before you say maybe i didn't know it, i haven't drunk anything since i got here, so it can't be that.

[fauned]

( omg.. brushing elbows with fame. tell us your skincare routine )

More for us!

( ...? )

How long have you been here again?

[reaperrabbit]

[His skincare routine is "be dead and let Satan reconstitute your body every time you fuck it up."]

idk. few days maybe?
why.

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?

[limbical]

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.

[scowlish]

How long have you been feeling that way?

[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.

[reaperrabbit]

no

[Well, Daan asked.]

[reaperrabbit]

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

[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]

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.]

[reaperrabbit]

don't doctors do that thing where they tell you stuff without you having to go to them? tvhealth or whatever?

[reaperrabbit]

no, i don't see anything like that on me.

do you think it's from the plants? some of them touched me. the ones in that greenhouse i mean.

[limbical]

I have no idea what you're referring to, but I can't really give you advice without knowing more about you. Usually an examination would help with that.

Look, if you have some kind of trauma thing with doctors, I don't blame you and I can be patient. If it's just an embarrassment thing, I won't judge you for whatever thing you've got going on. But I'd really have a better idea if I just did a preliminary look at you, regardless of your species.

If it's an ego thing, then you gotta get over yourself.

[scowlish]

That's a relief. It means it's not an illness from my home, at least.

The plants touched me too, and I haven't gotten sick. Did you eat anything stupid?

[reaperrabbit]

just a cake thing from one of the cafes. someone told me it was ok.

[scowlish]

That shouldn't have done it.

[A pause, and then-]

You don't mean that's all you ate for two days, do you?

[Surely, he can't mean that. Then again, Onni himself didn't eat much the first few days he was here from not trusting the food, but...?]

text; un: yuie

[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]

[Daan, what the fuck, don't figure out his shit instantly after two literal comments and put him on blast like that, damn. He even named the species issue so easily. See, he could absolutely do telehealth.

Now Brook finds himself in a pickle. He can't just say he has some kind of trauma thing with doctors (or a doctor, really, singular). But it's not "an ego thing," and he's genuinely kinda worried? As far as he remembers, nothing like this has ever happened to him before.]

uh
how do dms work here
can i message you privately?

[reaperrabbit]

i didn't even really want to eat that but i was trying to, idk, be polite or something! are you sure that wasn't it?

private;

[limbical]

[GOTTEM. look he's from an AU of the 1940s the fuck does he know about telehealth]

You can. I've arranged our messages to now be private, so this is now just between you and me.

You can call me Daan, but a lot of people just like saying "doc" or "doctor". Which is fine by me.

[scowlish]

It's probably that you haven't eaten anything in days! All those symptoms fit! Why didn't you eat?!
