Tony Stark, I've heard you're the man to see for a project I've got going on.  If you wouldn't mind, I'd like the opportunity to meet and discuss it.

That said, I'm looking to also speak with a woman named Selina Kyle.  Apparently, we have a lot to catch up on.

Lady's told me that the flu virus that seems to be going around is more than likely a

There are people who think it's a curse? I just figured it was something seasonal. I guess they were suspicious because sometimes things happen here that last more than a day, like a week or so. And then the people who run this place came to 'help.'

[ttly_not_batman]

Apparently. I feel any assumption that it's a curse may be exaggerated paranoia, but now that you've elaborated that they can last more than a day, there's also a chance they may be right. In either case, it should clear up in the next few days.

[yourantilex]

If it is a curse, we don't know what to expect anyway. So we might as well treat it like a good old-fashioned flu and not panic. My mom always says that there is no situation that can't be made worse by panicking.

[ttly_not_batman]

Good plan, mass hysteria would probably only get more people sick.

So, you said your name was Clark Kent, right? Any relation to Kara?

[lady_isa_stray]

Selina Kyle, huh.

Why's she of any interest to you, hot shot.

[ttly_not_batman]

Are you a friend of hers?

She and I have some history that I'd like to get sorted out.

[lady_isa_stray]

Depends.

What kind of history.

[ttly_not_batman]

Well, you see, I'm... not entirely sure. That would be the issue at hand, actually.

[alldevouring]

I don't like this flu pandemic.

[ttly_not_batman]

Are you sick?

[alldevouring]

No, I'm not sick, I just can't heal anyone when they have something like the flu.

And it's scary, it's reminds me of that world-wide influenza in 1918. The one in the history books.

[ttly_not_batman]

I'm sure it won't get to that extent.

[1st_dream_king]

In the past 'curses' have lasted anywhere from the usual 24 hours, to three days.
There is no true 'rules' to the way this reality functions.

[ttly_not_batman]

Rules, no, but a general order, perhaps. How long has this epidemic been going on for?

[1st_dream_king]

Mmm, yes, but insofar as others apply their own to it.

I am not entirely certain about the spreading influenza ( or so I believe it to be) as I only recently returned, myself.
From what I understand possibly 7 days?

[ttly_not_batman]

Too long to be a curse, wouldn't you say?

[blackeyedskank]

Because everyone considers it a curse. And people are like cattle when they all get one common idea in their heads.

[ttly_not_batman]

Charming way of putting it.

[blackeyedskank]

Don't act like you've never heard that before.

[ttly_not_batman]

I hadn't, actually, but I'm somehow not surprised to hear you referring to human beings as cattle.
