[Liam is off screen coughing for a moment before he leans his face back into view with a blanket wrapped around his shoulders tightly. He looks and sounds decidedly unwell., but also a bit panicked.]

Guys, this is like, really important you gotta listen to me. I think I might have bird flu. That's really dangerous right? So--

[He turns away to cough.]

So we should like, quarantine the mountain! And if you've been near me or Julien you should stay at home for a while so it doesn't spread.

[He reaches out from under the blanket and hold the laptop by the monitor, as if taking someone's shoulders, and looks into the camera seriously with red rimmed eyes.]

Trust me, I know what I'm talking about I'm a prince.

[He came on the network to figure out what is going on and then track down people to apologize to them for his behaviour of the past weeks, but

Liam. Liam.

What.

Sure, this could be serious, but considering there's "Julien" and "Bird flu" in the same sentence...]

Why do you think that it would be bird flu?

[arrowpoint]

Because Julien was kinda sick-ish a few days ago, and I was helping him out, and now I'm sick... he was totally running a high fever too, man.

[Yeah, he's freaked out.]

[disdainfully]

...What kind of sick was he?

[He doesn't believe in the bird flu thing, but ...well. He wanted to check in with Julien anyway.]

Not here

[espigeonage]

[He would so peck you right now.]

also not here

[arrowpoint]

[Don't be mean he's sick.]

[espigeonage]

[Wing Attack?]

[charcoalfeather]

A... a quarantine?! What's going on down there?

[what the heck is bird flu]

[Video] I am so sorry for scaring Rakka...

[arrowpoint]

I don't know yet, but I could have bird flu. I was like... near a sick bird. It was in the news a few years go, remember?

[Video] pffff

[charcoalfeather]

O-oh, yeah. That.

[Great, just what they needed, more sick people.]

This is... because of Julien, isn't it?

[Voice]

[gobybessie]

[ Oh ... Seriously? That's kind of ... ridiculous.

But all right. Let's not be mocking here. Ahem. ]

What are your symptoms?

[Video]

[arrowpoint]

Uh... you know, flu-ish. I got that achy, shivery, hit-by-a-mack-truck feeling...

[He turns away to cough a few times, then rolls his eyes a little at the timing.]

...Cough, stuffed up, that sort of thing. Probably have a fever, but I don't have a thermometer. I was around a sick bird-person though, and that's the bit that's the part I'm worried about.

[He suddenly looks hopeful.]

You a doctor? Can you tell the difference between regular flu and bird flu?

[Video]

[gobybessie]

[ It sounds like a flu, all right. ]

It isn't easy to spot a difference. You have to look at a bigger picture. Were you with Julien around the time he made his last post to the network?

[ Seemed to him like an Echo, that. ]

[video]

[grannyfucker]

What? Seal off the mountain? What, and just keep it all to yourselves?

[video]

[arrowpoint]

[Annoyed look.]

Dude, this is not about the damn gold pile. I'm serious, it could be like... an epidemic.

[video]

[grannyfucker]

Oh, a likely answer!

I don't know what you're plannin', but nobody tries shutting down an entire mountain without some kind of...ulterior motive!

[moreweaponsthanyou]

...

What? No really, what are you ON?

[arrowpoint]

...What?

[Confused.]

I'm all natural dude, I don't take anything when I'm sick.

[moreweaponsthanyou]

So this is why you're spouting crazy stuff right now? You're hallucinating because of high fever. BECAUSE you don't take anything for it.

((Sob I hope this isn't too late for you I meant to reply and it never happened.))

Do you have some echinacea? Keep warm and keep drinking water. I can bring you something to eat if you want.

But since when were you a prince?

Video (not at all! <3)

[arrowpoint]

I have all that stuff back in Locke, I forgot to bring it.

[Liam shakes his head.]

Don't come over, dude, I don't want to start a plague.

[As for the other thing...]

Uh... I echoed something a while back? My old dad is The Elvenking. Cool, right?

[thebalrogslayer]

I have some. I'll bring it over, and some soup. [Shame he has no nettles here, and it's not worth going back to Locke to harvest some from his patio. Maybe if Liam's 'flu' (and Gabriel finds himself rather unkindly thinking it's nothing more than a cold) continues he will.] I can leave it by your door if you're really that concerned.

The Elvenking? King of all elves, do you think? [He sounds a touch unsure about that, mulling over what he knows.]

[video] (8 million years late, Starbucks for everyone)

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

Sorry, Liam. The only reason I have to accept anyone's word because he's a prince is if he's paying me for it.

haha it's cool

[arrowpoint]

[He's confused for a moment.]

...Did I say that out loud?

Video

[vaimo]

I thought it was really hard for bird flu to change so it could affect humans? [She sounds unsure and a little worried, though. There haven't been any news reports of any recent cases, but then again the news has still mostly been focusing on ebola when it comes to health.]

You should stay inside and keep warm and make sure you drink lots! That's what's best for regular flu, so I'm sure it'll help and you'll get better soon!

Video

[arrowpoint]

Yeah normally maybe, but I was near Julien - he's half bird half person, you know? It could like... cross over?

[He sticks a hand out to gesture to the blanket wrapped around his shoulders.]

Yeah, that's the plan.
