I want to know who else has gotten sick on this ship lately. Coughing badly, losing consciousness, or anything like that.

Because you should REALLY follow the doctor's orders and go to the medbay if you're feeling off.

[Read as: Signal boost to the people Murphy gives a shit about to GET YOUR SICK ASSES TO A DOCTOR right the fuck now, so he doesn't have to harass you individually at this point.]

[Now that that's out of the way... getting a message out to the girl's father only naturally happens to be on Murphy's list of priorities as well:]

Alayne's not doing well.

You need to come to the medbay.

I'm sorry I didn't contact you as soon as it happened. I didn't have any time.

Is there anyone else I should call?

are the doctors curing anything

Don't know yet. Not that I'd know much about that.

then why r u saying we should follow doctor orders lol they cant do shit

No one can just magically CURE SOMETHING if they don't know what it IS yet. And unless you know how to treat the symptoms yourself, I don't think you should talk about who can and can't do shit around here.

yeah id rather shit myself than be a guinea pig a little vomiting never killed anyone

Fine. Do whatever you want. I'm just saying - it's gotten more serious than a little vomiting.

Thank you for letting me know — I am on my way. There are no apologies necessary; there isn't anyone else you need to call.

What is her current state?

[ PRIVATE PING TO ROBB STARK | 100% ENCRYPTED ]

Alayne has taken ill. I am on my way to the medical bay to see her now, should you care to visit as well.

Okay.

I'm not sure. One minute everything was normal, and the next she passed out. Bad fever. Eyes looked funny.

[ It doesn't sound good at all, and the pause before the next message comes through says as much. ]

If it is not too much to ask I would be grateful if you could stay with her until I arrive.

Sure, no problem. I was going to do that, anyway. Maybe see if there's anything else that I can do...

I do.

What happened?

Undetermined. Apparently the illness took her rather quickly.

The same illness that afflicts us all?

That afflicts most. I understand that some are immune.

You as well?

[ He only considers the question for a moment. (He lies.) ]

I have not yet been laid low.

Then that is fortunate. You can tend to her, while I seek out the cure.

Really, I'd think you'd be able to handle a mild case of the flu.

This isn't just a case of the flu - and it isn't ME. I feel fine.

Do the maes--the doctors have a cure for this?

No.

I mean, I've got no idea if they do yet. But, right now, it's... I think it's better to keep the sick someplace where they can at least be treated 'til they find something...

And do you think they shall find something?

Dunno, honestly. But I don't plan on waitin' for them to find out. There's gotta be something here that can help...

Something to treat the fever, if nothing else. Surely there is sometihng for that.

Tylenol or Ibuprofen can help reduce fevers... that I know of. Though I'm sure the medbay's gotta have more potent medication for this kinda thing.

...Some tepid water should be fine in the meantime. Use a cool cloth or somethin' like that.

[Totally not sounding like someone who might've once been a fretting father at some point in his life right now.]

[ murphy you sound like his momma it's weird ]

The remedies you named are unfamiliar to me. But maesters at home were known to employ cool clothes now and again.

[Hey bro, you asked him.]

You could ask one of the medics in there if they have any, or anything that can help reduce fevers. But, erm... yeah. Wet cloths should help, at least a little... [As far as he knows, anyway. It's not like this is a normal case of influenza or anything.]

I know little of the way maesters here practice. Even less than I did in Westeros.

[ renfaire lyfe ]

Do you believe they will find a cure for this?

Well, I'm no doc here, either -- but I have picked up on a few things... here and there.

[Ah, parenthood.]

That, I... I have no idea, if they will...

Will you go to the medical bay as well? To help?

No... I'd just get in the way of the people who know what they're actually doin' there.

I'm gonna go help look for a cure.

Then perhaps we shall meet, for I intend to search one out as well.

More the merrier, I guess. Least we can do is cover more ground this way.

[He pauses. Just wants to make sure:] So, you're not... sick, or anything? Right?

No. I do not feel well, but I'm not as sick as others aboard.

Doesn't mean you're not gonna. Watch yourself.

You as well, Murphy.
