public survey: video

[zen_en_vert]

I thought I would leave this a few days so things had a chance to get back to normal, but I have a few questions I'd like to ask. Some people have made the observation that the little- flying things, what were they, ice fairies? That their bites had unusual effects for some who were exposed to them.

I'm curious about the properties of their venom, if that's what was happening. If you experienced unusual symptoms during the last invasion, and you'd be comfortable discussing the onset, nature, and duration of your experiences, I would truly appreciate it.

[He's curious for a few reasons. First, if this was a venom, he wants to check in on these people and make sure they haven't all gone off and quietly died in their apartments (this is far too morbid to say out loud on the network. Second, if it wasn't venom, if there's enough range in the symptoms or if any of them seem magical, then it may have been a curse, and it is worth knowing if a curse can be transmitted by animal bite, even if that animal is magical. Third, if it was a curse and there are people out there who experienced it without having been bitten, then they may have a huge problem here, since Thiazi has history of infecting city dwellers. If something like last time is beginning, he wants to begin collecting data now, before everyone goes crazy and starts killing each other. Again.

None of this shows in his expression, which is all gentle-medical-professional.]

Thank you for your time.

I was bitten, and I met a few others that were.

People got pretty irritable.

If it's all right, I'm going to switch this feed to private, so I can ask you a little medical information. If you're uncomfortable we can stop at any time.

How many bites did you endure over all?

[onewho_willbe]

I got bitten a few times, and ended up being pretty pissed off with everything.

Though that could have been because we had to fight in the first place.

Like many others, I was bitten as well. And like the others, aye, there was certainly some effect - what did you want to know?

[A warm smile at the offer. This may get him important data yet.]

I got bit too. It....was strange. I'm still not sure I could really describe it with words exactly how it felt. But like the others said, I was getting frustrated. Angry, when people were just trying to help.

[But she isn't sure if hers might be a more particular case, given her previous experiences with bites back home. Between the walkers and the dog bite, after all.]

[But he'll be much, much more careful with her as well. He wants the information, but she's very young.]

[ At first, Nine's first thought was to not answer the question, but honestly, he's bored, and since he's still convalescing after a bit of unpleasant business, he doesn't have anything better to do. ]

I was bitten, yeah. Didn't really notice anything except that I was more than a bit angry, especially when approached by people.

They sound like Wrackspurts.

( Very matter-of-fact. )

What, may I ask, are Wrackspurts?

[snugglesjugs]

I wasn't bitten but I did run into a few people that were. It does remind me of other stuff that Thiazi did.

Howso, if you don't mind my asking?

[He was careful not to mention her, so he's interested that someone else came to this conclusion independently.]

I don't know that I can tell you anything you haven't heard already. But I was one of the ones who got bitten.

I was bitten. If it's helpful to anyone else, I don't mind talking about what happened. Um, I felt quite warm, and it felt as if I was going in and out of a haze. I'm...pretty sure I didn't do anything of note while out of sorts, but at other times I was absolutely furious at everything. If those darned pixie bites WERE Thiazi's doing, then it certainly backfired on her. I went and thrashed as many of her ice giants as I could.

Always something in this place. [She takes a deep breath.] I was... bitten. I wouldn't mind answering anything if it means making sure nothing further happens.

[The man's survey over the bites will catch his attention as he wished to learn more over it to add into his own set of notes.]

Yes, they're known as ice pixies. Fairies is another way to refer to them as, as well.

[Now, he will take his time to find the best way to communicate with the other without sounding distant or cold. Somehow, he felt being too forward with another was too bold way of communicating for his tastes.]

I was bitten by our foes in thelatest battle as well. I'd be more than happy to exchange information, but. [Okay, there is the "but".] If I may be as forward to do so, I would prefer to exchange information as well. If you have any new information over the matter, then I would appreciated to learn more about it. I'd like to add the additional information to my own set of notes for future reference.

Certainly. I'm going to keep the record of who contacts me confidential, but I don't mind sharing a report of the overall data when my research is done.

Mostly to begin with, I'm asking if would be all right to switch the feed private, so I can ask for medical information. Then I ascertain the number of bites each person received.

I got bit. After that, I was pissed off at everyone around.

[It was like being a damn ghost again.]

Thank you for contributing. I'd like to go over a little medical information, if that's all right with you. If you have questions or become uncomfortable we can stop at any point.

It turns a usually placid person into being overly vigilant and tumultuous.

Did you experience this personally?

[Backtracking slightly, to establish.]

[fredless]

[This catches her attention]

I wasn't injured, but let me know if you need any help with your research? I'm only slightly rusty.

[zen_en_vert]

I'd be happy if I had a second eye to code data. If I amass enough respondents to get technical about it.

[Voice | Private]

[hadbadays]

You'll let me in on the results, won't you?

[Voice | Private]

[zen_en_vert]

Certainly. Anything else you can think that I should be asking?
