[ it's been some time since his arrival now, and siegfried has slowly and meticulously learned how to... turn it on? push buttons?
okay he really doesn't know how to use this thing, but some people have instructed him on the basics. so he at least knows how to hold it up and... talk into it... ]
It sounds fake, right? It actually sounds crazy. [ JJ sounds a little crazy himself tbh. ] But you know what, everything about this is crazy. And what if it's true? What if it never goes away or—
[ He cuts himself off, all the talk about death starting to freak him out. Never mind that he'd been the one to bring it up. ]
In times like this, it's important to remain calm. I've heard nothing about anyone dying due to sickness. And as far as I can tell, everyone is cooperating to try to discern just what has happened, and why. [ and most importantly, don't bang anyone out of weird desperation. ]
If nothing else, have faith in the people supporting you.
[ Well, it's hard to panic when Siegfried is speaking so calmly. JJ brings his phone closer to his head, as if he could absorb some of that attitude just through proximity. ]
Yeah... [ It's a nicer idea to latch onto at least, even if JJ can't entirely shake the feeling that it's more serious than just a cold. ] Having the flu sucks, but it's just a minor inconvenience. Even if it's a magic flu, if it were deadly, something would've happened by now.
Indeed. I'm glad you seem to be feeling a bit calmer.
Perhaps a walk outside would improve your mood? [ maybe not what sick people should be doing, but siegfried's never been the type to be able to stand remaining cooped up inside. ] I could accompany you to make sure nothing happens.
[ Siegfried is talking JJ's language now: he hates staying inside for extended periods of time. The bedrest is killing him just as much as the sickness. ]
I'd love to go outside... And see the moon. [ ??? He's loopy. ] It's late though...

Yes? This is... JJ, correct?

Are you married?
no subject
[ he has no idea where it came from, but even so: ]
No, I'm afraid I am not.
no subject
[ That's ok, Seigfried. You don't have to conform to societal expectations of relationships and marriage. ]
no subject
[ a pause. ] Have you?
no subject
So are you a virgin?
no subject
[ a pause. ] Perhaps it's forward of me to ask, but are you?
1/2
Yeah, I was waiting to get married.

Wait, what do you mean? Do they frown upon that sort of behavior here?
[ even so... execution is pretty extreme. ]
no subject
[ Which sounds like some crap a sexual predator might say, but - ]
Maybe that's true? They're kind of sex obsessed here. They have sex in churches— I can't believe being Catholic is going to kill me!
no subject
[ i.e. he's just as sick as everyone else, but he has a pretty sturdy constitution so its affecting him slightly less. ]
Are you certain this is genuine? It would seem to me that sexual contact with another would just result in transmission of the disease.

I'll come and fetch you tomorrow then. It should do us both some good.

[ That's just how it is, Siegfried... ]
no subject
Y, yes. Very well... I will see you there.
