Forgive, O Lord, my
my little jokes on thee...

"It's biologically impossible." Ty responded.

"I had it a long time ago." he said.

"I came back from it, and I was fine." he told her. "I know the pit that changed Lunet into a Regenerator wasn't a 'real' pit, but it was still mechanically a pit." he went on. "The net end should be the same for her. There's no reason for it NOT to be." he reasoned.

"But I just got the message from Angela. Lunet is showing early symptoms of it. Again." he continued.

"This is infuriating, to understate it. This makes NO goddamn sense!" he declared.

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"I... what?" Hazel asked as she made her way up to the table they'd been using and set what she'd brought down upon it.

"That really doesn't make any sense. There's gotta be more at play than just a virus." She continued.

"But I have NO idea what the hell it could be. Mistress is dead, so it can't be her." That was one thing that she had a very hard time letting go. Even now, she still called Encrae 'Mistress', to everyones dismay and ire.

Ty just grimaced when Hazel said 'Mistress'.

"Rgh." he growled.

"...indeed. Vanessa Encrae IS dead, and in a place where she can never force anyone to call her 'Mistress', or enforce her will on anyone, ever again." he stated, gnashing his teeth a little, but he quickly stopped.

"So you're right. It can't be her." he agreed.

"Unless this is some long-term plan of hers that's been percolating on its own ever since she died." he then said further.

"...but I'm not so sure she'd have planned THIS far ahead."

great big one on me.

"I doubt it." Hazel commented.

"I know she was good with planning and whatnot, but I don't think she'd have planned something to this scale. That's... that's just me though, and maybe I'm stupidly hopeful. " She added.

"For now though," She then said, resting a hand atop his, "eat. Don't get stressed out. Eat and maybe we can figure something out for ... even just how to go ahead with all this." She was trying to help him stay a bit calmer, most certainly, but she didn't know if it would help at all.

Ty was silent as she placed a hand atop one of his.

He looked at it for a moment, before he felt the clarity once more, and slumped down some.

"...yeah." he said.

"Yeah, that's... that's a good idea." he agreed.

"...damn it." he cursed lightly.

"Something BIG is happening. But WHAT?"

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

Hazel just sighed.

"Good question." She commented.

"However, let's not stress out about it for the moment. You and I both know that if we do, it will do no good." She added after a moment or two.

"So let's eat first, and THEN try and find something, but more calmly than I'm sure you would do naturally."

Lunet was not doing well, but that wasn't a surprise. Everyone was doing what they could, and that included the newest woman, Jane. She was frequently down in the lab helping out with the alchemy, the science, the everything down there, whereer she could be useful. It was quickly discovered that she was surprisingly knowledgable too, and likely had a history in alchemy.

Jane was in the cafeteria, listening to what it was that was going on. There were some exclamation, panic, and most certainly anger, behind the scenes. She realised that the one in charge for the moment, Ty, needed to be told though.

So she forwent the idea of food and headed up to the head office, knocking on the door.

Ty merely took a deep breath, held it for a moment, and exhaled.

"Indeed." was all he replied with, before they started to eat.

---

"It's open!" she heard.

She then opened the door, and saw Hazel and Ty there, as per usual. Ty looked over, and nodded.

"Hello again, Miss Jane." he greeted her.

"You look worried." he commented.

"Something happen?"

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"You're likely going to hear about this soon anyway." Jane started as she closed the door after stepping inside.

"What happened?" Hazel aske,d her voice curious.

".... I overheard the kitchen staff, turns out a bunch - I think I heard 80? percent - of the food tghere is just... rotting away."

Ty's expression turned to that of disbelief, exasperation, and anger, when he heard that.

"...what." he said.

"80%. Rotting away." he said further.

"Something like that, yes." Jane responded.

Ty just let his head drop to the desk, hitting with a dull thud.

"GREAT." he said sarcastically.

"LOVELY." he growled.

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"Sorry." Jane said simply.

"I don't mean to be the bringer of bad news, but... I honestly thought it might take awhile before they speak up due to the stress of th situation." She told him honestly.

"And no, they don't know what the hell is causing it, either."

"Perfect." Ty muttered.

He then looked at Hazel, and sighed.

"Seen the news?" he asked.

"Seems like rinderpest is on the rise again, going to take out over 60% of the world's bovine population." he told her.

"And food is spoiling HERE as well." he continued.

"As if this MISERY with all the disease wasn't bad enough, we're well on our way to a FAMINE!"

When Ty said what he did at the end, Jane froze for a second, pain echoing through her skull. It didn't last long, just felt like something that was pressing, hard, against a barrier of some sort.

"I..." She started, shaking her head.

"I'll leave you two to it. S-sorry." She added before turning to the door. That stammer was likely something to note though, as it was very much unlike her. However, there wasn't much time to focus on it or worry about it.

They had bigger problems.

Ty looked at Jane as turned to the door.

"Hey." he said.

"If something's wrong, or happening with you, please. Don't hesitate to tell us." he told her.

"For now, Hazel." he then said, addressing the other woman there.

"We need to find a way to source more food for this building."

Hazel nodded.

"I'll go talk to the lab. I know that Kiah was working on something that had mana based food creation or something." She commented.

"I don't know if that was something that actually was going well or not. ... Or maybe it was Ilias." She added.

"However, I will go and ask about it."

"I... I think I'm ok? I don't... just..." Jane answered, shaking her head.

"I'm just going to head back down to the dorm. I'll... I'll see you later. If you need me, you know where I'll be." She said before just leaving, not giving a chance to Ty to say something.

"...that was weird." Ty mumbled.

"But I have little time to dwell on it." he sighed.

"I need to see about other sources of food, while you ask the lab about that." he told Hazel.

"We are REALLY going to need to pull together for this." he continued.

"...and just pray we make it."

Hazel sighed heavily.

"All I can do is ask about what I mentioned." She said simply.

"Beyond that, I have no ideas." She added. "we'll have to wait and see, I suppose..."

Angela just sighed, heavily, as she walked down to Lunet's room again. As she did so though, she paused. When she walked past some mirrors in the hall, she swore she saw someone else, a dark haired woman she didn't know. However, when she turned to look, she saw that there was no one there, leaving her confused.

"What the hell?" She asked the air, but received silence in response. She wasn't surprised, as there was no one there, but when she looked to the reflection again she saw the same woman approach her, and reach out. As she swore contact was made, she spun around to find no one there.

"I'm going insane from the stress." she muttered, shaking her head, before continuing on her path.

Meanwhile as Angela was pondering her sanity, Ty had stood up and made his way to the door of the office. Hazel was getting something to drink for the two of them, and he wanted to stretch his legs.

He opened the door and stepped into the receptionist area, but paused when he thought he saw a shadow move just out of his line of sight.

"...what...?" he muttered.

"The hell was THAT?" he wondered.

"Hello!?" he called out.

...and I'll forgive thy

Ty, of course, met silence as a response. No one was there, at least not as far as he could see.

As he turned to head back into the office though, he swore he felt something brush past him, through him even.

But nothing was there.

He froze when he felt the sensation, and whirled around again.

"Hello!?" he called out again.

No answer.

"HELLO!" he yelled.

Silence.

"Ugh." he mumbled. "I'm starting to lose it." he said to himself, before starting to go back to the office... and then suddenly feeling hungry. VERY hungry. Starving. Almost literally.

"Wh... what...?"

He was left alone for about ten minutes, ten agonising hungry filled minutes, before there was a knock and the door opened to reveal Hazel.

"Hey there." She said as she stepped inside.

"You ... ok?" She asked, looking him from head to toe.
