[ It's been a bit since prom and, perhaps unsurprisingly, Rose went off on her own afterward. She thought that her feeling strange was just a natural part of the change of seasons and warmer temperatures but now it's... too warm.

Or, rather, she's too warm. It's been long enough that she feels a bit unfocused for it and buys a thermometer at a local store from the suggestion of the clerk. She thinks he says something about cold medicine, too, but she doesn't find any medicine in the refrigerated section. Which honestly is a shame because her throat hurts and she could go for some ice cream.

It's only after she takes her temperature that she realizes she actually has no idea what an average human temperature is even supposed to be.

Hm. ]

hey, everyone
quick question
is 102 a pretty bad fever, or-?
this thermometer thing beeped and turned red so it SEEMS bad
I just want to know what level of concerned I should be

[ Probably more than she is, oops. ]

that is a very bad fever. a doctor will likely be required at that temperature, but if you're a distance away...

I'm afraid that would be very bad! just remember to drink lots of cool water, okay?

[hasitsthorns]

I will, thanks!
Not too keen on doctors, I admit, but if I HAVE to...

[manabiki]

You're going to see one, either willingly or not, if your fever stays that high!

[hasitsthorns]

Ominous...
I'm sure it'll, like, fade before long?
I hope so
They aren't SUPPOSED to last a long time, right?
