Warnings none.
Effects anxiety, and a feeling of falling.

Ariadne hurried up the stairs, one hand on the rail to help her move up them quicker and whip around the sharp turns upwards. The heels she's wearing aren't really helping matters; they continue to catch on the steps as she runs. From time to time, her hand on the railing is the only thing

You're sick too I guess? [ Harry doesn't comment on the dream. Chasing dreams are familiar to him and the real feeling of falling is too. Harry looks rather sympathetic through his own version of ill. ]

[buildingreality]

Apparently. I'm not sure if it was Eames' fault or my own.

[sonuvasnitch]

[ Harry nods from his own spot on the bed. He really doesn't look so good either. ]

It seems more people are getting sick lately.

[buildingreality]

That's how it seems, at least. Did you get that anonymous message a while back? Warning us not to get sick?

[she sneezes.] Ominous.

[sonuvasnitch]

Bless you. [ Yup always polite he is. Misery does love company however and he coughs a bit before answering. ]

Yeah I heard it, I was probably already sick at the time.

[buildingreality]

Thanks.

Probably. Were you out in that blizzard?

[sonuvasnitch]

For a bit. I'm sure it didn't help things.

[buildingreality]

Probably not.

I find it odd that everyone is- [sneezes. Excuse her.] -getting sick all at the same time. Does this always happen?

[sonuvasnitch]

Not that I can remember, but I don't think it's a good sign.

[buildingreality]

It wouldn't be. Everything that's happening lately points towards something big.

[sonuvasnitch]

[ Harry nods in agreement. He's been in Somarium long enough to know things didn't just happen without a reason. ]

[buildingreality]

I can't figure out what.

[sonuvasnitch]

Neither can I-[cough]-but it really can't be a good thing.

[buildingreality]

Has it ever been a good thing?

[sonuvasnitch]

[ Harry thinks about that one for a moment. While the initial shock of what had happened in the 1920s certainly hadn't been, the aftermath was for the most part worth it. ]

Sometimes it is.

[buildingreality]

[she gives him a bit of a look - not judging, just curious - then shrugs one shoulder.]

I'd still like to be able to predict what's going to happen.
