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?

Okay.

Just the one. It was on the back of my neck.

Did you notice the symptom of irritation in yourself, or did someone else point it out to you?

I felt it. I tried to keep it controlled but it was like fighting something.

About how long after the bite did the feeling begin?

About an hour? It was quick. It felt stronger the longer it went on.

Did anyone else have a look at the bite site itself, or did you see it in a mirror at all? Anything you can tell me in terms of swelling, coloration, bleeding-

It wasn't bleeding but it felt really hot. I didn't see it, I just felt it.

Thank you, that does help-

Is there anything else you noticed that you think might be relevant to tell me? Anything at all.

I felt confused. The first time it happened I wasn't sure how I'd gotten to one of the districts.

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?

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.]

[ 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. )

Do you remember any physical dizziness, or vertigo?

[Preserving the wording from before. The scientist in him unconsciously develops a script.]

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

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

[Repeating this as often as he has might usually develop a repetitive tone, but fortunately Bruce's sincerity carries it very well.]

How many bites did you endure over all?

No just the confusion. It was disorientating enough.

What, may I ask, are Wrackspurts?

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

I mind not, but as it suits you, sir.

[ Maglor tips his head in consideration ] I am uncertain - but I think me not more than once or twice. I did not truly notice, in the heat of the moment.
