Bai (Xing)
[ action ]
[Pai is bowled over by a sudden, aching sense of loss. The Gate is gone. How can the Gate be gone? She's the only one with the power to destroy it. And yet --

A moment passes and she finally registers surroundings (a testament to her disorientation; she's never once been shocked enough to lose sight of her surroundings until now). Wherever this place is, it isn't South America. Which means the odds are good that it isn't the Gate that's gone; it's her.

Who what when where and why are all questions she wants answered, but first and foremost, she needs to establish whether her team is here. She reaches into her pocket for her radio, but finds a network device instead.

Curiouser and curiouser.]

Twice I've gone to the garden, but not once have I found a spring starflower.

[If anyone from her unit is here, they'll recognize the code for her call sign BK-201.]

I think I'll give up and look for moss. I've got two hours to kill.

[After typing out that message, she heads towards the northern part of Xanadu to secure a location and wait for two hours.]

Is it me or is there something going around? Seems like everyone's coming down with something right now. I've met about eight or nine people just this afternoon who all seem to have something.

You know those summer colds can be brutal.

Hope it's not some crazy flu outbreak. Now THOSE can REALLY be brutal. Do we get those around here? Anyway--

Take care of yourselves! Wash your hands, get plenty of rest, drink lots of fluids.

Get well soon, City :)

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

[That little explosion of feelings comes from a particularly upset looking brunette, clad in only a bath towel with another one wrapped around her head turban-style, standing in the middle of an apartment building hallway. Which one? Doesn't matter. She just walked through a door and that's all that she wrote, kids.]

What, third time's the charm? I like--liked--some of you and your faces, but really, this whole back and forth, forth and back thing here got tired after the first time. And as much as I can't see naked people as naked anymore, I would love it if I got a shirt and some shoes or I probably won't be getting any service.

[Chase is sitting on the edge of a bed in one of the hospital clinic's exam rooms. Behind him the door is open just enough to show a packed out waiting room.

He's holding a small thermometer.]


It's time to stop by the hospital if: one of these is showing above 103°F and you're a normal adult human. Other species can use their discretion.

If you've got a headache that painkillers won't put a dent in, and it's stuck around for more than a day, or it's shown up with a fever like the one above in tow.

Trouble staying conscious is another good call on when to come in and see me.

[He glances over his shoulder.]

If you're feeling great right now and don't know what I'm talking about: good. Avoid crowded places and hopefully you won't pick it up. Anyone who thinks they might be coming down with something and doesn't want to pass it on to the unwary should avoid crowded places, too. Unless it's this one. We're getting to people as fast as we can.

Meanwhile, if whoever's running the rebuild could figure out what's happened to the plumbing, that would be great.

[He hops off the bed and goes to the sink to turn on the tap at the wall. It's dry.]

I guess we can't blame it on something in the water.


[OOC: consider this a CATCH ALL post for anyone specifically wanting to come and see Chase at the hospital over the next few days, though he'll be doing the rounds of other people's posts, too. I will be a little slow over the next couple of days because, uh, graduation *\o/* but backtags are forever.]
