[ video / action for house 40 ]
Uhg, I feel bad doing this this early into the game, but I got sick as a dog!

[ Yuri doesn't look like she's been sick, but that's because she made sure she was completely better before she talked to anyone else. You know, outside of her house. ]

I forgot how much I hated that, so I'm aiming to never let it happen again. [ She waves it off now, next topic. ] Those of you I talked to about the SSS, you probably thought I fell off the face of the planet but that's not true! So come here if you have any more questions or have thought about it and would like to sign up! I need everyone to report in if they would like to join or are already joined up so that I can get an official headcount! If you don't drop me a line, I'm kicking you out.

[ She looks like she's thinking something after that, then adds: ] ...That aside, where did the phrase "sick as a dog" come from anyway?

[ locked to Yotsuba and Naoi, probably hackable if anyone even tries ]
I hired a butler.

Reporting in for duty!

And as for the saying... I'm not positive but- I think it derived back in the 1500's or so, you know how dogs eat anything? Yeah, basically they eat whatever and become sick from it. Or so I've heard.

[ Yuri doesn't bother with voice if she doesn't need to, so she's replying in video anyway. ] You just know a bunch of random things, don't you?

[divinacommedia]

[fine, then he switches to video.]

Yeah I do, here and there. [it's not like he's stupid.]

[voice]

[shinesbrightest]

[Oh, that SSS thing must be what Yuri was talking about before... But after that experiment or whatever that was, he's not sure how he feels about it, so he decides to just focus on the first part.]

You're not sick anymore, Yuri?

[ video ]

[magentarific]

[ She raises her hand up cheerfully. ] All better! Did I miss anything important while I was holed up in my room?

[shinesbrightest]

No, I don't think so. [The past week was just not a thing, okay.] I'm glad you're feeling better, though.

[allseeingdeath]

Ah, I wondered where you went off to. I was thinking of visiting. [ provided she could get enough energy to get out of bed. ]

Count me still in, Yuri.

[magentarific]

That's kind of a long time to think about visiting and never actually do, you know.

[ She's scribbling something down. OFFICIAL LIST HERE. ]

Adding you to the list!

[allseeingdeath]

I thought of other things too you know. [ Nevermind that she lost her memory for a week or so. ]

We should sharpen up our skills sometime, now that you're better.

[voice]

[emp3thy]

[He was wondering a little where she was... especially since he'd expected to see her recruiting New Feathers.]

I'm glad you're feeling better.

[video]

[magentarific]

[ She talked to a lot of them! ]

Thanks. I'm glad I'm feeling better too, I haven't been sick in forever and I don't want to do it again... [ A sigh, then she looks at him through half-lidded eyes. It's worth a shot, even though she doesn't sound like she thinks it'll work. ] Still don't want to join?

[video]

[emp3thy]

[more openly!

he shakes his head.] But I still don't mind helping.

[rollypolyclover]

[Well there's only one butler she knows here.]

Hayate is a butler, he's pretty cool. Probably a seven!

[ video ]

[magentarific]

[ Okay, Yuri looks confused. ]

A seven?

[ video ]

[rollypolyclover]

Seven comes after six, it's a number Yurippe!

[Look, she can count! Either she's rating Hayate or she's saying numbers for the sake of things... Or he reminds her of the number seven? Hard to tell.]

[lunas]

A-as sick as a dog?! [ watch as Usagi gets the wrong idea in 3.. 2.. 1.. ]

You mean you were barking?

[ video ]

[magentarific]

No, I mean I was really sick! Battler said the phrase came from how dogs used to eat everything and then got sick from it. I don't think it was that kind of sickness, but it's just an expression. Why would I bark?

[ video ]

[lunas]

I thought that being as sick as a dog means that you'd.. randomly start barking, or something..

[ pooout. ]

But you're feeling better at least now, right?

[markofthewise]

You're not going to keep membership numbers with a policy like that.

[magentarific]

Well it's hard to keep membership if said members don't show up to even say "hi" once in a while. Especially with how few even showed up for the actual first mission. Is it that hard to expect people to let me know that they're interested?

[markofthewise]

Maybe you scared them out of coming.

[voice]

[rashness]

H-hey. I don't think I'ma gonna join afterall! ... Sorry?

[ video ]

[magentarific]

What, why n--!? [ She cuts herself off. Damn. Damn damn. She's not going to force anyone to though. Let's try this again. ]

Okay, may I ask why?

[voice]

[withnofear]

Still interested. I just might not be too involved for a while, unfortunately. Things are sort of... stressed for me at the moment.

[magentarific]

[ Yuri stays on video, tilting her head slightly. ]

Because of that experiment I've heard a few things about?
