CURRENT POPULATION: 35
It's a rather quaint town when you get down to it. At least, that's what the Sheriff would argue. Warm and dry in the mornings and afternoons with a brisk coolness in the evenings. The perfect type of weather to just sit out on your rocking chair and observe the comings and goings.
... Of course, there's not much in the way of comings and goings when there aren't any actual people here to watch. Nevertheless, don't let that get you down! The town is your oyster and those roosters won't stop crowing until everyone's out of bed. Up and at 'em, rise and shine, it's time to make the day yours!
Except there is, perhaps, a few things amiss.

[Definitely nothing like a cold!!]
no subject
[ah well]
So what are the symptoms, precisely? You've piqued my curiosity.

[...]
Oh, just losing your sanity [well, kind of], spawning a labyrinth that swallows up everyone in the area, obtaining powers that you use to attack anyone who gets near you, having to be killed for the good of the world, etc.

[THAT'S ALL. human bodies are so weird!! though her curious attitude fades quickly]
That sounds. . . unpleasant. [to say the least] I think we'd notice if someone here was afflicted with an illness like that.
no subject
[Don't actually do it, Milla.]
It would be... very, very obvious, yes. Labyrinths are rather distinct. And large. That too. Though I suppose the victim would technically be brought without that...
[Not too sure how that'd work, though.]

[don't worry, she loves food too much to associate it with something so miserable]
Do you think this entire town might be the result of someone being affected by this disease?
no subject
[He shrugs, but then shakes his head.]
The whole game aspect of it doesn't make any sense. Labyrinths are more of a "fight monsters and make your way through" deal.
[Sure, Eternal Labyrinths also tend to involve a lot of backstabbing and murder among their raiders, but not usually in... this context.]
no subject
I see. That's interesting. . . I suppose, then, we'd know for sure if someone here was affected with Labyrinth Disease.
[a beat]
Why did you ask?
no subject
I spoke to Percy, and we both come from "Earth", but he didn't recognize the disease. However, in the world I know, it's just about impossible not to be aware of it. In other words, it's probably the easiest way to determine if we're from the same place.
[And to be honest, he might act a tad differently if he knew that anyone from his world was here.]
no subject
That's clever. Have you found anyone else here who's from your world?
no subject
[He's glad for it.]

[MILLA THAT'S KIND OF COLD. . . not that she means to be, it just came out that way]

Hm. Is this what a fever feels like?
no subject
Could you not do that?

[nod nod she has learned something new]
And you're right, but checking for a fever seems to be the most common course of action when one realizes someone might be sick.
