[Guess who got sprayed with the hydrochloric acid? That's right, THIS GUY. Housemates, he's currently only wearing pants and tending to some very nasty burns on his arms and chest, the phone balanced in the crook of his neck; he wasn't quick enough in ripping off his shirt before the stuff bled through.]

Very amusing, Mayfield. Your jokes just get

I'm afraid my door is as firmly shut as yours. Though I have not tried the turkey- Has it been tampered with?

[peonymarket]

Yes, I-

[soft gasp]

-it appears so. Don't touch it with your bare hands, it might prove fatal.

[teawithpuzzles]

...What is wrong with it?

[peonymarket]

Mine sprayed a strange batch of chemicals, enough to cause severe burns upon the slightest contact.

[scentofbauhinia]

What happened?

[amazingly, he has not touched the food yet]

[peonymarket]

Don't touch the fowl. It's a trap.

[an annoyed grumble and the sound of running water; he's applying cold compresses.]

[scentofbauhinia]

What was wrong with it?

...Wai teacher. D'you need help? [hasn't attempted to leave the house yet either]

[peonymarket]

When I touched mine, the contact triggered a spray of some kind of poison. But perhaps the effects will vary....

I am fine. More importantly, it seems as if no one can leave their homes for the time being.

[her voice is careful- concerned, but distanced.]

Anh?

[peonymarket]

[his own is strained, tight, and not just from the pain; he senses that he just came very close to death. Him.]

Have you received a turkey?

[lotuslife]

Yes. [naturally, she hasn't touched it; she does not care in the slightest for this distasteful holiday.] ...You don't sound well.

[peonymarket]

I'm not. [a pause on his end. water runs.] Don't touch it.

[mymic]

The doors are locked in my house as well.

[peonymarket]

Hn. Well, unsurprising. Have you tried breaking the windows, heya?

[mymic]

No, I haven't. I suspect they wouldn't break, anyway.

[peonymarket]

It's not very likely.

Why today of all days?

[kol_shevik]

. . . Did little China get a stomachache?

[peonymarket]

If only, Russia.

[low, irritated hiss of pain]

[kol_shevik]

Mm, comrade should be more careful about eating! Stuffed bird is probably full of Capitalist drugs.

[peonymarket]

I didn't even get a chance to eat it! Crazy fowl came with defense mechanisms, heya!
