[Pretty much; ebola tends to show up and wreck things within 48 hours, whereas this is...not, for whatever godforsaken reason.]

To the best of my knowledge, yes.

[matchbreaker]

But it's obviously in your bloodstream.

[ Probably ... mm. ]

I suppose the worst case is that it is dormant uroboros.

[manufactured]

[...jesus- ]

I don't think it's Uroboros - there was still a...

[...a...what, exactly. How the hell do you explain anything that happened with that?

He pauses for a moment before shaking his head and trying again.]

Bonding or not, it still affected me. To a lesser degree than it affected Excella, certainly, I was still in control of myself and the amount of assimilation wasn't nearly as severe. But there were effects that were both severe and immediate.

If I had to guess, it's more likely that it's one of the experimental viruses that I was told about in one of my memories.

[matchbreaker]

[ It's gross of her, she reflects, that she feels relieved that it was "only" an experimental virus and not that nightmare.

... She rubs her thumb on his hand. ]

Alright, if that's the case then you can study it, right? Do you need my help with anything in terms of that?

[manufactured]

[Honestly, it's infinitely better if it's one of the experimental things as opposed to Uroboros, simply because Uroboros would be an unmitigated disaster. He seemed confident in his memories that it would wipe out six billion people; you don't unleash Uroboros on a population unless you want almost all of them to die.]

...Perhaps. If I need something from you, believe me, I'll let you know.

[...]

It's good of you, listening to all this.

[matchbreaker]

Of course I am. Of course I will.

[ . . . ]

Honestly, my own Restrospec new sounds so comparatively minor. I think I can control bats now.

[ That's meant to be a bit of a tension breaker, more than anything. She did want the sincerity to sink in, but she'd said it dozens of times now. And if he has more to say she'll hear it. But viruses in his blood no one knows about? Better to focus on whatever new vampire absurdity she has now. ]

[manufactured]

[...You know, for a moment he doesn't seem to know what to do with that? But then it seems like something breaks a little and he's trying really hard not to laugh because he usually just doesn't, and really, god bless Elda Marker.]

You'll have to show me sometime.

[matchbreaker]

Oh, I can now- [ And she clears her throat... ] Some of you! Come down here!

[ For a moment, nothing happens. Was she calling Toushiro?

... No.

There's a squeak and then from one corner of the kitchen ceiling and them from another part of the house, three bats suddenly flap down to attentively land on the counter around their would be floats.

... That's totally sanitary? ]

[manufactured]

[I mean, in fairness

he's already got ebola

sanitary or not it's not like it can get much worse than ebola

...that said, um?]

...I...see.

[HE IS NOT ALTOGETHER SURE HE SEES.]

[matchbreaker]

... I'm not good with it yet? But they can fetch things if I tell them to? And I got about thirty out of the mailbox.

[ . . . She laughs it off, blushing some as she goes to pet... one of them. ]

[manufactured]

...If it's any consolation to you, that is entirely more useful than anything I'm capable of doing with Uroboros, at least to my knowledge.

[wesker oh my fucking god you can't just- ]

[matchbreaker]

[ Pfft ]

No, that makes sense. Come on though, might as tell test your taste with me.
