There was a pox upon the house of Fandom; a pox, a plague, an epidemic. Nurse's onset abates, noses run. Clearly, the source of it was something viral, and the toes on Adah's good foot curled, her fingers tingled, with the chance to find out something more. Bad enough she couldn't haunt the corners of the makeshift hospital in the town hall, gathering qualitative research from the ~~victims~~ afflicted while visions of petri dishes and a chance to get near a microscope danced in her head...may her left side be stricken as useless as her right should she allow herself to be constricted behind a desk when there was research to be done. A curse upon her, a pox, a plague, an epidemic. But not until she found something out first.

There was a sign on the desk, instructing anyone that truly needed assistance with anything to interrupt her at a station set up for researching, with the threat of awful, terrible things that would put the virus' work to shame if the interruption was deemed unworthy. It was getting books, people. How hard could it be? And hell hath no fury like an obsessive virologist scorned.

"I'm right there with you," she agreed. "It's a lot easier when you can just hit things. Right now I kind of feel helpless."

"That's why we have other tools to use," Peter said. "It's harder and less punchy, but at least we're more likely to learn something useful."

"But it's still not as much fun as hitting."

Isabel waved towards the book she was reading. "So far I've managed to rule out Samuri Fishman Flu. Unless people have started sprouting gills since I left the hospital?"

"Somehow I doubt that's the one," Peter said. He grabbed a book and started flipping through it, looking for anything helpful. "You know, something like this, I wouldn't even know where to start looking if there wasn't already a group assembled who seem to have half the library on a table. Well, normally Google or Wiki, but that's not possible this time, obviously."

"I'm thinking that it's tied to the island somehow. That's why the history books on the island," she explained. "But do you have any idea how much weird crap has happened here? Tons."

"And a lot of it just in the past couple years," Peter said, flipping through the medical book he had grabbed. He wasn't spotting anything of use in there offhand. "You know, this would be much easier if there was a DSM-IV for magical disorders. The school should publish something like that once we're through this."

"It would be an inter-dimensional bestseller," Isabel agreed. "But anyway, let's get back to the researching, see if we can figure out a way to end this."
