outer_divide | Week 34 | Thursday Night

[ when Akito first notices the fog, it becomes clear to him that that's what the Winds wanted to bring to his attention. he had promised Christine Chapel that he would pass information along to her if he found anything out about the fog, since technically it falls under his domain, and so decides that it couldn't hurt to investigate it up-close.

the advantage of having a more modern cell-phone type communicator is the bonus of a built-in flashlight, which Akito uses to help record the strange colour mixture of the fog - sickly greens and yellows instead of the pure white-grey of water vapour.

for those that can hear him, they might notice the occasional muffled cough, but it soon stops when he forgoes breathing.

the feed ends after a few minutes. ]

Fog is not safe!
Air is acrid.
Best to avoid it.
Should linger for a few days.

[ ten minutes later: ]

Christine chapel
Mild hallucinations
Losing sight.
Should heal quickly for me.
Not sure for humans.

((ooc: for anyone who wants to action, he's on the outskirts of the city, using his powers to keep the fog away from him. also his texting will get progressively worse as his eyesight fades more, though it will come back in a few hours!))

You shouldn't be out in this weather! Especially not if you're hallucinating.

I live otuside
Wdin keeps fog awya
Bettr me tahn human
!!

If you want to recover, you need to go inside right now! Find somewhere that's sealed against the fog, like here at the hospital.

Dont like inside

I'm sure you won't like worsening symptoms either.

Not alive
Heal fast + cantsee to find inside
anwyay

But you still suffer, don't you? Hallucinations and blindness are no simple matter while they're happening to you.

No pain!!
:)

[You're frustrating her, Akito. She's a nurse; she needs to make sure people are safe!]

I still don't like this at all.

[ so does he! which is why he investigated in the first place. :'|b ]

I woudl be incorpoal
Incorporeal to you anwyay
So dont worry!

Like Jack Frost? What if I believe in you? Can I see you then?

Yes!! x 2

Well obviously I believe in you since you're sending me messages.

Ok 1min

[ it takes him less than a minute to switch over to video, and if christine can see him she'll be met with a painfully androgynous face and a young, feminine voice. ]

..Hi?

[She answers the message and smiles, clearly able to see him.]

Hello. Are you really sure you'll be all right out there?

[ that makes one of them! his gaze isn't dead centre, and he keeps an ear tilted slightly toward the device in order to make up for the deteriorating vision. ]

Un! Atmosphere is my domain. I don't know these Winds well enough to dissipate the fog entirely, but I can keep the immediate area around myself free of fog.

Good. I don't want to hear you saying you've gotten worse then, you hear me?

[Young though she is, she can sound an awful lot like a disapproving mother.]

If I get worse it will be from the original exposure, and I'll make sure to note down the symptoms.

[ and for a being with 99 years under his belt, he sure does act like a child most of the time. so it balances out nicely! ]

All right. I'll have my communicator with me, if you need me.

[ he nods. ]

This fog seems more like chemical warfare than anything natural. I'll try to get a sample of it for you if I can!

[Well, she has to admit she is curious, and if he really isn't affected that much...]

If you can without inhaling any or getting it in your eyes. If you can't, don't worry about it. You'd need an airtight container anyway.

[ he creates a small ball of air in his hands, and though it spins a little recklessly (it's hard to do this without vision), he offers a pleased smile. ]

When you work with air, it's easy to make your own airtight containers.

[She laughs softly.]

I see.

I'll get a sample when my vision comes back, then bring it to the hospital so it can be contained.

Is that okay?

It sure is. Thanks.

Will you be able to find an antidote for it?

I'm honestly not sure. But I can talk to some others who work here about it and see what they think.

Un! Alright. I will make sure to stop by once my sight comes back!

((ooc: did you want to action thread a meeting?))

Okay. Good luck out there. Stay safe.

[ooc: is handwaving okay?]

You too!

((ooc: sure! akito will probably just find his own way in and leave some samples in any unused containers then, if that works for you? probably left some as fog, but tried frosting some of it as well.))

Bye for now.

[ooc: works for me!]
