Our mysterious illness

[Odin]

What could our mysterious illness be?

It isn't mono I'm sure. Kavonn knows what it is (as always ) but seems unwilling to tell. Hopefully Mye is making an Esuna style cure otherwise cure could do more harm then help as is the way of medicines.

[Stinger9]

Hmm... I think it's somehow related to Tony. I can't really think of how, but given that Tony has gone missing at the same time that everyone else became ill, and he himself didn't seem to be showing any signs of the illness last time we saw him, I'd say his absence has something to do with it. Or maybe something to do with Yiska. I dunno. Either way I think it's related to one of the alps!

[Waker]

In hindsight it does seem odd that everyone with the exception of Tony is sick. Phineas and Yiska are unaffected, for obvious reasons, but Tony's lack of illness is odd. Bearing in mind that the most likely scenario for spreading the virus came from Phineas licking the milk carton, it would seem almost guaranteed that any alp in the house would have been infected given their love of milk. But were it not a common illness, wouldn't Kavonn have said something to Yiska in private about the matter?

[Artemisia]

Also it seems odd that Kavonn was able to cure Mye... If it was Alp related wouldn't that hurt Tony or Yiska. But we haven't seen the possible results on Tony of Zerlocke's cure and Kavonn's
also the selectivity surprises me because Zeno, Zerlocke, Phineas, Yiska, Menu and possibly Kavonn (looks like he is acting) aren't sick. The only reason I can think that this would be Alp related is if he is subconsciously calling for help.
Zeno seems impervious to psychic rubbish (except Quixoto) and Tony wouldn't trust him completely after the incident earlier on and the lemons
Zerlocke is competing for Mye's Affection (and I wouldn't trust him to rescue a rubber duck from drowning)
I do not think Phineas is Tony's friend (not an enemy but just not best buds)
Yiska's last few conversations with Tony have left him angry and defensive
so this may be a cry for help, but why incapacitate his only hopes for escape.
Menu did get better and I doubt you can develop an immunity to alps (unless Tony and Charby have been performing experiments)
either way I do not think It is purely Alp related
on a side note: why hasn't Hex realised that Tony isn't back yet... failing that Crispo?

I would actually say that it isn't related to Tony (or Yiska). I would like to point out that Claire has already contracted this illness, presumably from Menu, so I wouldn't think that any kind of alp hex or whatever did that. What I find odd is the fact that everyone is getting sick at the same time. Having experience with diseases in large family groups, I would say that usually one person gets sick, then the big wave of sickness hits, and then you get a few stragglers while some never get sick at all. The fact that everyone is sick at the same time betrays the fact that something is up here, but as to what it could be? I haven't the foggiest.

[Odin]

I must side with Doodles that it isn't likely alp related.

Quick side note while it's on my mind, Tony is likely known to leave the house for days at a time to be on the prowl to create mischief and therefore isn't noticed.

I too feel that if this were a bug it would be a one person get sick and the good caretakers inadvertantly contract the bug and the tables turn.

[Artemisia]

On the same side note: wouldn't Hex who knows that Tony went somewhere highly dangerous (anyone could see that from Tony's face) be slightly alarmed by his absence. Even if he is known to go for days, this time would seem different to Hex.

Claire too... wait... if it is alp related then why Claire?
If it is a normal illness then why Claire and not Zerlocke?

[Artemisia]

Okay then. Now the topic can be resurrected (if only for a short time) so now we know it is not Alp related because Tony was unhurt when Kavonn healed Mye. So it is not Alp related. this opens the question of "what the heck is it?"

[Stinger9]

I didn't mean that Tony being an Alp was a direct cause of it, I meant that I thought Tony's absence might have been causing it, which would not necessarily hurt Tony when Mye was healed (Where did everyone get that idea from anyway?). Admittedly I don't think he has a link to it any more anyway.
