[Mikleo feels him tense up and somehow makes a note of it in the back of his mind. He tries to bring his head up, and it's the first real success he's had all day. The hard part's going to be keeping his head up....]
Hope not. Being sick like this isn't great. Though, I can't even remember the last time I got sick.
[Although, the seraph can't really remember if he actually made breakfast for the humans in his apartment this morning.]
Seemed like we got it around the same time. I'll have to see if we can get a doctor to check us out.
[Medical science is very much out of his league.]

[Being sick is the worst, so it's not like Leon's going to argue with that. He's enough of a kid to really, really hate being sick so for now, he's mostly grateful that he didn't catch whatever it is (punk).]
That would be the most sensible option.
[No point in prolonging your misery, after all.]
With the way everyone lives in such close quarters here, an infectious disease could cause no end of trouble for the majority of us. Make sure that you recover so you do not make the situation worse.
[Okay!!! Don't make the rest of them sick.]

Mm, might not be as much of a problem. Seems like this colony would have the resources to combat it before it caused a panic. Still a pain, but....
[Man, Cerealia better not make him eat those words. Although, now that he thinks about it, isn't Stahn from Leon's world, too? There's a good chance they know each other.]
You know someone named Stahn? Swordian Master of Fire, I think. I ran into him in ViViD once. Do you know if he's okay?

[You never know with a place like this, really. He's pretty sure they're both thinking along the same lines there, so he'll go along with the topic jump.]
Yes, I know Stahn. He's [his best friend an important companion UGHHHH] a traveling companion of mine. He's fine.
[Which Leon knows because they live together..... traveling companions, sure.
Hmph.]
He is too much of an idiot to catch a cold.

[Maybe it's weird to follow this train of logic, but he wants to try. Seraphim can't be sick, can they? That makes zero sense. They wouldn't be sick the way other humans would be. So with that in mind he shoots Mikleo a quick text.]
Heyyy. Uh, it's Hiro. With the giant robot? This might sound kinda weird but are you okay?
Heyyy. Uh, it's Hiro. With the giant robot? This might sound kinda weird but are you okay?
[Ah, this is actually good timing. Hiro's the only person he knows with a robot doctor, and he's not sure anyone in the apartment can make it to a hospital for an appointment right now.
He's also too tired and sick to really care about his grammar.]
Yeah I remember you. I was about to call you myself. Almost everyone from my world is sick. Dezel is fine and Edna isn't sick enough for it to bother her too much but the rest of us don't have that luck.
Also sorry if it takes me a while to respond sometimes. I have to make sure Sorey doesn't try to take care of everyone while he's sick himself.
[That may require physically sitting or lying on Sorey in order to accomplish this task. The life of a Mikleo is hard.]

[The seraphs are affected, too? That's disconcerting in a lot of ways.]
No dude it's fine, don't worry about it. Are you serious? Maybe you should just tell Sorey to sit down...
[Guess who still hasn't met Sorey. But he pauses, curious about what Mikleo said first.] Anyway, why were you going to call me first?

That never works trust me. I'd have to physically restrain him to his bed in order to make him stop for at least a few hours. Then he'll be right back to trying to help again.
[Give it time, Hiro.... Knowing one half of the dynamic duo will guarantee that the other will be met at some point.]
I was going to ask you if you'd mind bringing Baymax over to scan us. I'm not even remotely qualified as a doctor but the fact that we don't have fevers when we can't even get out of bed is weird. I'm hoping he'd be able to give us a clue or something. Not to mention this illness has so far been resistant to medicine and our healing Artes.
[Freaking auto-correct trying to make it 'arts.']

Then handcuff him to the bed or something. Trust me, those things are hard to get out of.
[This is not helpful.]
But I could do that, sure. It's what Baymax's designed for, so maybe we can run a diagnosis and figure out what's going on and what's going wrong. I can come by in an hour? Baymax is still in his charging station but he should be good to go after that.
Do you think maybe the arts aren't working BECAUSE you guys are sick?
*artes.

[It's a good thing he's not like Edna.]
That's tempting.
Sure that's fine. I'll let Dezel know. Also don't mind him he's always grumpy.
We thought that at first but Dezel tried his as well. Didn't work at all and he's unfairly healthy. All we can say is that it's probably not a poison or I would've been able to heal it by now.

I'm not sure if that was supposed to make me feel better or not, Mikleo. But sure, okay.
I just hope we can find SOMETHING. This is getting a little weird that people are suddenly coming down with stuff. Did you all get sick at the same time?
And I didn't know you could actually heal people from poisons.

Yeah. We started feeling bad around the same time. No idea what's going on especially since Dezel has been totally fine ever since we got this disease or whatever it is.
[There's a bit of a pause before Hiro gets another text.]
Sorry about that. Yes one of my healing spells can heal injuries as well as poison and paralyzing effects. It's unique to water seraphim since those are the kind of ailments we can inflict with our magic, too. My water magic sometimes causes poison and my ice magic sometimes stuns. I have another healing spell that can heal injuries and simultaneously raise a person's defense against magic temporarily.

[well, time to make this as straight to the point as he can. because it's weird and he has other people to do this with too.]
Hey. About what happened in the library other day—how about we just pretend it never happened. [so embarrassing. so embarrassing. and yuri's not one who is easily embarrassed but that whole situation was just not his style at all.]

[Mikleo kind of expects this message. Kind of. At least Yuri isn't beating around the bush and making this more awkward than it needs to be.]
All things considered, I'd be more than okay with that.
[Although...]
Is Flynn alright? I, uh...kinda ran into him at one point and wanted to know if he's...back to normal.
[Ugh, remembering that still makes him flustered. Ugh ugh ugh.]

Sounds good to me.
[mikleo's a good guy, even if he didn't help yuri break out of the hospital. his expression darkens very slightly for a moment at the mention of flynn, though.]
So he got to you too, huh. [seriously, flynn. how many people did you do this to? S I G H.]
Flynn's fine now. [just guilty as hell for being a sleazebag, as he should be.] I'm sure he'll come apologizing to you when he gets the chance. He's not the type to just let things like that go without trying to fix it first.

He got to me and had a duel with Sorey. Normally, I would've tried to do damage control, but let's just say that I was a lot more encouraging of dangerous situations by the time those two found me.
[Mikleo nods.]
At least he's alright. [The water seraph shakes his head, frowning.] Honestly, what does this place even gain from all of this?
[Mikleo nods.]

A duel... what an idiot. [flynn, that is. but at least he didn't somehow coerce mikleo into bed, so that's a good thing. that just seems like it would be a bigger mess to clean up with nobody was really actually consenting to anything.]
Who the hell knows what they're after. Probably just their own sick amusement.

Honestly, everyone's been at least a little bit of an idiot during the past week. [He's very glad that Flynn didn't carry him off and that Sorey got to them when he did. Even if his best friend was acting just as bad as the other human.]
I'd be inclined to agree with that conclusion, especially after all that you, Sorey, and others have told me that happens here. However, a couple of incidents don't seem to add up to it. Namely, the flooding in the colony and everyone being dumped into the jungle. Perhaps especially the jungle, considering it's the first I've heard of people experiencing something outside of Cerealia.

Guess nobody told you what that's all about. [weird. someone should have; even yuri knows.]
Most of the stuff we deal with is because of CERES. They don't make much of a secret of it. Those other things weren't them though. They're... I dunno what you want to call 'em. Spirits, or deities... something like that. Nobody's really sure what their deal is either, but they don't seem to like CERES or this city all that much and getting us involved seems like we're just the collateral damage for whatever they're trying to do. Put a wrench in their plans. Something like that.
[that's how he's taking it to be, anyway.]

CERES wasn't mentioned, but the Spirits were. Still, it's not as if anyone has given me the real history behind Cerealia from beginning to present. Books on the subject are so vague and heavily biased in Vincere's favor that there's only so much truth I can get from it.
[Then again, it's why he wants to look into those ruins in the jungle Sorey mentioned.]
The Spirits seem to parallel something from my world. The Five Lords, the seraphim powerful enough to be the source of our Seraphic Artes through their blessings. Fire, water, earth, wind, and void, the one without an element. My bet is that either Vincere or the new CEO are the cause for their dislike.

[...] Dude, do you know how awesome that is? You'll have to show me sometime when we get you healed up. I don't know a ton of magic users.
Anyway, that's even more suspicious. Like. A little TOO suspicious...can you get all of you in the same place so Baymax and I can check it out? I want to run tests at the same time to compare the data right away.

Sounds fine by me. That saying you can see us. Baymax probably can but I've run into some people who can't see me outside of the CereVice and ViViD. Sorey can help you hear us at least.
Shouldn't be a problem. We're all in Sorey and Alisha's apartment right now.
[Mikleo will send Hiro the location info.]

Wouldn't surprise me. Vincere was a real piece of work, but we never actually heard from our spirit friends until the old bag started running the show.
[take that as you will, mikleo. yuri's got his own ideas, but he doesn't have enough evidence to call it anything resembling definitive for the time being.]

...right. Seraphim can't be seen by humans usually. I almost forgot since you were so...THERE in ViViD. I've upped Baymax's scanners recently since we've been here so this'll be a good test if he can pick up on you guys.
[And there's the address.] That's not too far from our location. I'll be there as soon as I can and we'll get to the bottom of this.
