03 video.

[ 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! ]

[Krei hasn't even been here a week and they're already on the verge of an epidemic?

He manages not to sound too distressed when he speaks.]


You'll want to go to a hospital yourself, provide them with a blood sample and what information you have on the disease.

It was in a state of suspension for half a year?

[He looks slightly relieved.]

Perhaps it was exacerbated by your return home-- that is where you went, isn't it? -No, don't answer that. Not important. Either way, it was exacerbated beyond the point of the technology here being able to keep it in a state of suspension. That would be my first guess, and that it was in a state of suspension at all suggests the medical advances here may be able to do it again.

[Suspension isn't ideal, but it's better than nothing.]

Provide me with your location so I can have the authorities send people, appropriately garbed, to pick you up. You don't have to - quarantine yourself, and you don't have the equipment to do it properly.

[He closes a window while still speaking, peering out.]

Surely they can do something for you.

You sound to have plenty reasoning ability to me.

[He clears his throat, trying for a calm, steady voice.]

Newt, isn't it? Newt, for your own safety, and the safety of others, you need to let the authorities intervene. Whatever it is you turn into out there, it sounds... dangerous, and you could easily wander into town or be stumbled upon by someone if you're 'beyond the gone'.

They'll be well equipped to deal with you. You can even specify what will be needed to ensure you're safely contained.
