I have a question for anyone who was affected by the last flood....or anyone who feels like answering, really. What were your symptoms prior to finding out that you had to be near someone/when you stepped away from that person

Can we talk?

Private-

[drdaytimetelly]

Yes. Yes, I think we should talk.

Your cabin?

Private-

[drdaytimetelly]

Yes, if you're feeling up to it. Level five, cabin two.

What's the question?

[Private]

[drdaytimetelly]

Sorry, I lied. I have a couple of questions. The first is a difficult one, and I know we've discussed it before, but indulge me. Why do you think you're here?

Theorising is encouraged.

[sirius_is_a_dog]

I don't know why I'm here.

I was in prison, but for crimes I didn't commit. I wanted to kill someone, the person who betrayed James and Lily, but I didn't actually kill him. That other me did. I can't be here for wanting to do something I didn't do, can I? I can't be the only person who's wanted someone dead for doing something bloody horrible.

[drdaytimetelly]

Right. That's what I thought as well. I probably would have done the same exact thing as you did, if I'm honest.

...though now I'm starting to suspect that your intent to kill him is what brought you here. I wondered about it, kept going back to your file, and...well, it's just a little glaring, actually. It stands out. There are some other things as well, which brings me to my next question. Did you want to read your file? I think you should.

I felt as though I had eaten something off.

[drdaytimetelly]

Nausea, then. Anything else?

[19centconstable]

Just the other sorts of feelings that go along with eating something that's gone off: headache, nagging thirst, wooziness.

[drdaytimetelly]

Headaches, dizziness, thirst. And did these all immediately subside when you found whoever it was that you were supposed to be with?

I almost wish I was in the pub, just to hear a song with that kind of reputation.

As I was not exactly far from the man it happened to at the time, but when I tried to leave it was more like I was being pulled back. It's an interesting question, though, especially if the answers vary.

[drdaytimetelly]

If you listened to it for just 10 seconds, you would have gotten the gist. ...actually, all of his songs are like that. 10 seconds in and you've heard enough.

I think the answers will vary, which is why I asked. I have a feeling it didn't affect everyone in the same way.

[iam_aghost]

...Hence why you desperately want 'Delilah' out of your head, si? Do you have a record player, by any chance?

It didn't. I'd be interested to know who it affected differently and why, and whether it affected people who were stuck to each other differently.

[drdaytimetelly]

Si. ...I mean yes. I don't have one, actually. Well, not in my cabin anyway.

Yes, exactly. Floods usually differ here and there, but for the most part there's a running theme. I just want to know how much exactly they differ. If I collect enough data, who knows, maybe Sherlock can do something with it.

If it's interesting enough for him anyway.

[drdaytimetelly]

Fell? Where did it...um...pull you? Or did you just physically fall to the ground each time you tried to move away?

[drdaytimetelly]

But you didn't feel ill?
