[Having come through the teleport crystal with his dog a few hours earlier, Seth is now a little... itchy. And so is his dog. From the artichoke house that was allocated to him, Seth, fresh from a much needed shower takes a seat on the edge of his bed. Sleep sounds like a good idea, but hell if he doesn't want to know what the heck is up with the

So it ain't somethin' I rubbed up against?

[sonofthestorm]

...You got a weird rash poppin' up all over?

[oneperfecthit]

You too, huh?

[abstinentzombie]

No.

But it sounds like an epidemic.

[sonofthestorm]

One case doesn't make it an epidemic, lady.

[abstinentzombie]

I'm not itchy. Other people are.

[sonofthestorm]

Well bully for you.

[That monotone is lovely, but he perks at the mention of others. Seth really needs to listen to his comm from time to time.]

Who else?

[mmmleather]

What sort of 'itch'?

[sonofthestorm]

Zev, I am three seconds away from clawing off my arm entirely. Weird... I dunno rash. Thing. On my arms, legs, back.

Feels like I ran through ivy.

[mmmleather]

Also on the arm...

Say. Have you been near a man called Lucas, recently? He is similarly afflicted with such a thing.

[sonofthestorm]

I ain't seen Lucas in weeks.

[Seth degenerates into muttering.]

Swear this thing should be bleeding by now. Never was any good for not touching things.

[And his voice is back to normal level.]

Anyone else? What about you?

[mutedmother]

Many of us seem to have contracted something.

[sonofthestorm]

Oh goodie.

Who're you?

[text]

[mutedmother]

My name is Jael. And you are?

[Audio]

[sonofthestorm]

Going insane.

[Pause to scratch some more. That one on his leg is starting to get as bad as the one on his arm. If only he could reach the one spot on his back.]

...Seth.

[karmicsouldier]

TMI, man.

[Hurr hurr.]

[Audio]

[sonofthestorm]

Hah! I was waiting for that.

[Audio]

[karmicsouldier]

Low hanging fruit an' all that.

... so to speak.

[Audio]

[sonofthestorm]

[Seth chuckles.]

If it were that, I wouldn't have said anything.

Heard a few people got weird rashes popping up on their skin. You know anything about that?
