Subject: Suppose that...
Suppose that someone got in a fight with her roomie (say, last night) over the fact that her roomie had bad eating habits. Or maybe even nonexistent ones. And said roomie denied it all and then got snippy about the concerned person being the "perfect" shape, when said roomie is actually underweight by now and likely hasn't eaten in days and looks like death warmed over and - eh, screw hypothetical stuff.
I'm worried about Lorna. I think she may either be anorexic, or bulimic. I tend to lean towards the former. And I'm ratting her out because talking to her didn't help and in fact I probably made things worse. Go me.
I don't think she's suitable for much of anything else than being near Alex right now, so I may need to bother someone else about removing her from back-up duties until she's at least eaten normally for a while, but I'm worried it might make things worse too. She'll be in the medlab a lot... it'd be the perfect time for you to take a look at her, no?
*hugs*

ps. - You know what? I need a hug. And I bet you need food. I'll bring something down for you.

My heroine. As it happens, I have acquired a lovely chest cooler for such purposes to nestle snugly under the desk, but at the moment, it is occupied completely with essential caffienation.
For various reasons, at this stage, you've probably done everything you can for her, but we can talk about that in person more conveniently.
I shall await your arrival with much anticipation. I'd clear off a table and put up candles or something, but it's a sterile environment and they'd be rather out of place in such severe surroundings, anyway.

Specializing in rescues this week, I am. ;) And regardless of what some think, people do not live by cafffeination alone. I'll make a few sandwishes to hide in that cooler too.
Yes. I'd like that. I'd also like to know who else I should contact about this in a more official way... I don't see her going on a mission right now. I really don't. Not that she'll want to anyway, what with Alex in isolation...
I like your big old couch better anyway. And you probably need rest too, so if you want me to spell you and watch over someone, lemme know, mmm?
