[ The video clicks on to show Newt, but he doesn't really seem focused on the device at all. Staring past it, eyes clouded with... something. The feed jerks around sporadically from shaking hands, and Newt looks filthy on screen, like he's been in one too many fights that he may not have won, covered in dirt and grime, blood and wounds.

After a minute of this, his eyes snap to the screen, clearing with recognition, remembering what he'd turned it on for in the first place. ]

Sorry, I- I'm... not well. I've got the Flare and it's getting worse. [ A deep breath, and he's dragging a trembling hand through his hair. ]

I think I'm contagious, and that means you're all infected unless... there's people called Munies- [ his expression sours at the term ] Immunes, shanks that don't get sick with it. Don't know if they exist here, you're better off going to a hospital, getting tested for disease or somethin'.

Just- for God's sake, don't bloody breathe on anyone until you do or we'll all be dead.

[ private to housemates & castmates ]

I'm not coming back. Don't look for me this time, it's better this way.

[ ooc| this is newt's announcement for the flaring up plot! commence mass hysteria and crank outbreaks and all that fun stuff

eta: here is a catch-all log for plot shenanigans, if you so desire! ]

Don't breathe on anyone? That sounds like terrible advice. [ whereas Dorian's just metaphorically popcorn.gif this whole affair. ]

Better than havin' another bloody crisis on our hands. Wear a mask, go to the doctor, just don't go buggin' wandering around thinkin' you're Immune til you know.

Still, don't breathe. Surely you see the inherent flaw in that statement.

I said don't breathe on anyone, not to bloody drop dead! [ It's snapped with more force and anger than is even needed, and his face seems to register that even after he says it. ]

Put on a mask or somethin'.

[ Dorian...is just enjoying being a shit. ] Such sound advice.

[ This is not good at all for his non-existent patience. ]

Have you got any better ideas!?

Anything's better than 'don't breathe.'

Then maybe you ought to give people better advice! I don't know what else to tell them that's not gonna scare the klunk out of 'em.

And therein lies the problem. Fear's a better motivator than you realize. Scaring them might get things done.

Telling 'em about the bloody virus should scare 'em enough as is.
