Rat. Rat, rat, rat.

Now I'm having memories of sending a similar email to Shinobi a year ago.

I did tell you I'd talk to a doctor, didn't I?

what was in that email? it's not a secret, I gave what symptoms I saw and told them you'd be down.

that's IT. oh. wait. I said I was worried too. shocking things, that.

and yeah, your sense of humour is immature, which is why I like it. but you weren't joking earlier and you certainly weren't joking in the first email you sent me so try not to be surprised that I wasn't either.

I was both joking and not in that first email. I don't actually think of you as a purple rat, but I wasn't joking about being annoyed that you didn't trust me. And before you disagree with me, I'm the mindreader here, remember?

I don't know what you all are up in arms about. Not joking. I really don't. Moira seems to think there's some sort of vast difference between my usual weirdness and this, but I'm not seeing it.

...you honestly don't get it? were you not THERE?! and I don't mean mentailly, I mean at ALL.

see, this? THIS is the weirdness I was worried about right here! You had what looked like an epileptic sezuire. and you tell me nothing happened. I didn't just fall off the genetic tree yesterday.

get thine hiney to the medlab or I WILL make you.

I did! Mostly because Moira stormed in and dragged me off by the ear without giving me a chance to do more than say "Bwah?" And then Maddie ran me through the EEG. Twice.

I just remember kind of blanking out. Feeling a little weird. I thought seizures generally involved falling down and twitching.

I didn't do that, did I?

just your arm twitched. another common symptom of a sezuire is that the person affected completely doesn't remember it happening...although they DO notice that something happened when they come out of it. and you didn't.

you should have been down there sooner! in case there was any residual whatevers that we could find.

I did, I just thought it was the usual sort of thing...

it's hard to be unbiased when it's you. trust me, it was not normal. I tried to tell you that yesterday. you wouldn't listen. and how I could I trust that you'd get to the medlab in a timely fashion if you don't think it is serious and won't believe me?

I'm not making this up, Nathan. you did everything short of falling on the floor foaming at the mouth.
