[Dealing with the on-and-off blizzard for these past days must've been difficult, even with the times when the weather cleared out for a while and navigating the islands became possible... Hopefully you took advantage of those moments, because rather than things getting easier, it's about to get a lot worse.

It isn't only that there's been an avalanche of sorts overnight - how, given the lack of mountains around, is a mystery, but what else would you call the sudden heaps of snow currently piled up all over the housing area, drowning the individual domes so that they're barely even visible anymore?

It isn't just the fact that the power, or magic keeping things working, has been going out for hours on end, leaving the underground areas pitch-black - much more so given that the sun seems to refuse to come out, making the overall atmosphere one of dull grays at best, complete darkness at worse.

Or even that the creatures which could be found outside seem even more restless, making venturing outside for those who manage a way out of the tunnels (or who are unfortunate enough to arrive in the middle of this) even more dangerous.

No, it will surely feel like something's actively working against the people currently in the world, when several of them suddenly fall ill. With the sudden cold and bad conditions, one might be expecting possible colds and such things, but surely getting so ill so quickly isn't normal. Nor is it to be unresponsive to medication, for those who are unlucky enough to end up that way. Hopefully those left standing and able to work will be enough to handle things until it all ends...]

	... You do know it's a health hazard if you're handling food while sick, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[So people keep saying. Guess there was something to that bacteria theory after all.]

It is nothing like that. At times, this world will--

[He shakes his head once, trying to clear it. To clarify:] It is an inconvenience, not a true sickness.

["It's not real if the world's magic is doing it and that means I'm not really sick" might be a rule that Sebastian has made up himself.]

Besides, as you can see it is all frozen already, and packaged.

	I have work to do that needs to be completed. It follows that I would do no such thing. [...Sadly, this makes perfect sense to him even on a non-fever day. Incidentally this is also why he's still holding on to the counter.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Sebastian sighs a little. Did he explain it badly...? It makes perfect sense, of course.]

The food needs to be stocked properly. Seeing as I started the task, it is only correct that I should see it finished.

[He reaches up to briefly rub at his temple in his usual annoyed gesture. Is this clear enough, now?]

Were I to collapse, I would not finish the job. [See? So he's not going to collapse. Makes excellent sense.]

	Oh no, that's not how it works. You can't control when you're sick. You also can't control if you're contaminating things with that sickness. You need to let someone else do that until you're feeling better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Can too. He's a demon.] Of course, [he says in the most dismissive tone achievable while still sounding polite.] I am nearly finished, anyway, so if I may: came you to get food for yourself only? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Sebastian hates being vulnerable. He hates people pointing out they perceive him as being just that even more. That's why Chloe's words kick his stubbornness up five more notches - the room persists in shifting in and out of focus, but he knows the layout of said room already and where the food items he wants are--

So, letting go of the counter, it's just a matter of stubborning his legs not to give out. Sebastian picks up six cans which he places, firmly, on the counter before Chloe-]

These should last you and one more person for the day, then,

[-before he turns his back to her and rounds the counter again, towards where the rest of the canned food is waiting to be re-frozen.

(He deserves to collapse, honestly.)]

	[UM. Excuse u, u did not just...] [Watches him do all this bullshit for exactly 3 seconds before she's following after him - and mister stubborning his legs cannot move as quickly as he can. So she's blocking his path, hands on her hips and giving him THE LOOK on par with Snow's disapproval here.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[--Whoa. Sebastian's carefully planned course of movement did not take suddenly appearing obstacles into account. He sways a little precariously when forced to stop so abruptly, but stop he does, and regains his balance.] (Reply to this) (Parent)

[...Sigh.]

Detective, this food will spoil should I simply leave it here in the hopes that someone else will take care of it.

[There are exactly five people he's met in Kiseki whom he would trust to finish a task given to them. Three of them (Constance, Snow and Pearl) aren't around, and the other two (Sakura and Syaoran. yes, he trusts children over adults...) are, as far as he knows, in bed sick.]

[Sigh, you are a stubborn loser. No wonder you and Lucifer are ex-lovers!!1]

Tell you what. We'll compromise. I won't make you leave entirely and lie down, but I am going to make you sit down. And if it makes you feel better, you can tell me what it is I should be doing with all this food. [Be her stupid, stubborn supervisor. But she's not taking no for an answer. It's either that or she does force him to lie down.]

[Positively made for each other, aren't they just?]

[For one stupid moment, Sebastian considers just walking around her an continuing with his business, but... as hard as it is for him to think anything resembling clever thoughts right now, a small warning bell in his head stops him from acting on that idea (and thus Chloe is added to his list of Women To Maybe Be Slightly Scared Of).

Fine, fine. Defeated, he takes a step back, but he still has to protest:]

Evidently I am perfectly capable of being on my feet--

	[--Okay, so as it turns out, he can't stubborn as a verb and walk backwards at the same time. He stumbles, and just manages to take support against a nearby wall instead of dropping to the ground. Imagine how embarrassing that would have been, dropping to the ground. Good thing he didn't and thus still looks very cool. He's fINE.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[@___@ but also -___- Under much duress:] ...Right. [There are, conveniently, chairs not far away. Sebastian doesn't even push her hands away because clearly he is a helpless, pathetic excuse for a demon. Lucifer probably feels almost cool to the touch in comparision, for the record.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[jfc, how are you even standing right now. She's kind of taken aback by how high the fever feels. Talk about a functional fool.] Here we go... [leading him to the chair and makes sure he sits there.] You know you're burning up, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He does obediently sit, like the big bad demon he is. Also for the record: if Sebastian were human, or the whiny, Lucifer-esque kind of godmod, he'd probably describe his head like "feeling like it's made of lead" and his throat as "having a rusty cogwheel stuck in it".

But he's Sebastian, so his thoughts on the matter are "bah, dismissable pain".]

Yes, yes... I have experienced it once before. [He even recognises it for what it is this time. What of it?]

[Chloe gets a look that's half "you're a bit slow, aren't you?", half confused bleariness.]

I am not actually ill. [!!1] I said so already, did I not...?

[He's... pretty sure he said so.]

I don't take ill. It is this world, not a real sickness, and so it does not spread like one.

[So you see, others will become ill if the world wants them to and it's not contagious because it's not a virus and Sebastian doesn't sound delusional at all saying this.]

	Uh huh. So, what I'm going to do, instead of just blindly accepting the "magic is the reason" excuse, is to believe you're contagious because that's how germs work. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Right. Why was this an issue, again? Oh, yes--]

Well. Once the food is properly stocked, and as long as people show restraint with their food intake, and we are not snowed in for... [however long it was, again, that he had calculated the food to last] ...long, I will have no reason to be near it again.

[Because apparently he's not planning on eating any of it. No need to keep disapproving, see?]
