Mitzi stumbled into the infirmary. Exhausted from carrying the zomboil, she looked around for a bed to lay him in, and dropped him unceremoniously into the closest one she could find. Hey, he was a zombie, he could handle being a bit banged up. With a major sigh of relief, she collapsed into the nearest chair, and after a minute or two she scooted it closer to the bed. Probably best if she was nearby when he woke, let him know what had happened. She pointedly ignored Danny and Yin across the room, furious at the other ghoul for abandoning them. When Yin started to look for them, at first she kept her back to him, not responding. His friend had left her and Alexander out there in the cold, when a minute or two on her part could have helped Mitzi a lot. As she started to thaw, though, her feelings did too. It wasn't the weremantis's fault, and something in his voice made it clear he was genuinely worried. She stood and turned around. "Over here, Yin," she called, waving him towards the bed she had claimed for Alexander.

It was a little while before the zomboil finally began stir, his eyelids fluttering open and his deathly pale eyes blinking in the light of the infirmary. They'd made it! But...how did they make it? The last thing Alexander had remembered was.... "FIRE!" He suddenly sat up, eyes wide, and body trembling. Wait wait, calm down! Theres no fire here.. he thought to himself. Arrgh, but his head was pounding something fierce! But did he feel any better? ...Yes he did! But it was so quiet...was the music that had been playing in the school not playing in the infirmary? And why was everything vibrating... "Can you feel that?" He asked, to nobody in particular. He was still feeling a bit groggy. His gaze finally fell on Mitzi. Why did she look so annoyed? "Yin?" He said, as though asking Mitzi if the weremantis had made it.

Nyyrikki's anger got a quick dose of water to cool it down when the boil's speech became broken and mumbled. He couldn't understand what he was saying, though he knew it was probably something negative about him and Danny. Which was infuriating. But Rikki couldn't beat up a sick boil. That would have to wait until he was fixed.
He gently pushed Danny out of the way and moved closer to the bed, feeling Yǐn's pulse as he began to shake. "What happened to him, Danny?" He felt the boy's forehead and grimaced at the slick clamminess of his skin. Patting the boil's cheek he tried to get him to focus enough to answer a question. "Hey. Hey, Antennae. Does your body naturally run hot?" he asked, voice soft. He didn't want to try to fix a fever that didn't actually exist.
He hadn't even paid attention to the other two that had entered.

Danny's frown went deeper when she heard Yin babbling something completely incoherent. She heard "You should" and "Aweander?" Something was definitely wrong with him. Danny was panicking a little. It was no secret that she wasn't good with medical problems.
Mitzi and Alexander entered the room quickly after. Mitzi seemed a bit ... huffy ... though Danny wasn't sure why. Then again, she (Danny) had been pretty grumpy before coming in and seeing Rikki. Mitzi looked kinda cold too. No, really cold. That was NEVER a good thing. Danny frowned again.
The ghoul was going to make her way over to Xander when he started shouting about fire. Danny immediately stopped in her tracks. Oh right, she'd done that. Hanging her head in shame, she stepped back to Yin's bed. "He's over here," was all she piped up in answer to his question.
To Rikki, she said, "I think that's my fault. I carried him here." She was embarrassed that she was causing so many problems for Yin and his friends. All she wanted was to help! She created a fireball and started holding it next to Yin's shirt. It was drying it, but extremely slowly. The fireball method wasn't helping anyone any time soon. "Maybe we should get them new clothes?" she offered.

"Fluff squish." Because, when one was hallucinating anyway, it did not actually matter what one said. He let his eyes close, maybe if he went to sleep he would actually wake up to find that it was a bizarre dream. That, and the slight warmth by his chest was lulling him to sleep.
Just being in the infirmary was helping. He was slowly drying out, and the pumpkin patch that cleansed FEAR was beginning to help clean some of the JOY out of his system. His JOY recovery was directly connected to how badly the cold had effected him, so he was recovering at a rate a bit faster than usual. The shivering had lessened, though the boil still had a ways to go on the road to recovery.
At least there was no longer music assaulting his ears, and the vibrations were almost soothing, providing a nice background noise to block everything else out.

"Alexander, it's all right! We're safe, we're at the infirmary!" As the boil suddenly shot up, she grabbed his arm, trying to calm him down. She held on until he started to calm down a bit, and then she squeezed his shoulder before letting go. "Feel what?" She hadn't picked up on the floor vibrating, hadn't even particularly noticed the JOY-ful music cutting out, she'd been too worried about the boils. "Yin is on the other side of the room, his friend is taking care of him." She pointed to where Danny was trying to warm up the weremantis.
(And I may be largely unable to get Interwebz for the next day or two, so feel free to work around Mitzi. She'll probably stick with the boils while they rest, since Yin at least doesn't seem likely to get up too soon.)

Slowly Alex's shaking subsided, and he leaned around Mitzi to look at the other side of the room to where Yin lay in his bed. He caught a glimpse of another boil standing, and of the demon ghoul with a fireball in hand, before he hurriedly looked away. Gulping loudly, he tried desperately to think of anything, anything, besides the fire on the other side of the room. "Is...Is he ok?" he shouted in a shaky voice, and then. "Thank you for helping him....Danny." That was her name, right? And it wasn't her fault she was a fire demon, after all. He wasn't going to hold that against her when she was obviously being very kind and trying to help them out. While Alex still wasn't feeling very well, he was already feeling much better then he had before they reached the infirmary. The pumpkin patch outside appeared to be doing a job of cleansing the JOY from his system, and the pounding in his head was subsiding significantly. The biggest sign that he was feeling better, however, was that he was actually hungry! He sighed in relief.

That... actually made sense. Danny's body temperature had made his spike more than once just be being a natural heater. Point one for Danny. And she'd had a good suggestion. What the jack was happening.
Fluff squish. That idiotic, useless phrase seemed to set his balance back in order and he managed to make himself think straight.
"Yeah, let's get him some clothes. He's soaked." He ran his hand through his hair and frowned. "I think I have some clothes that will fit him back at my dorm." He at least had jeans and a shirt. Maybe a hoodie to help keep the boil warm. He glanced at Danny and sighed. "We're going to have to get him to my dorm. You'd keep him warmer. Can you carry him?" He hated to admit that it was the better option. He didn't want the monster that close to Danny or to put that kind of stress on her.
Finally glancing at the two that seemed to be friends or acquaintances of his demoness he skated his gaze over the undead to check for disabling injuries. He didn't know the answer to the question, but he did know what they'd decided to do. "He needs dry clothes. Are you coming with us? We need to get to the reaper dorms."

Danny nodded and began heaving Yin on her back once again. She was rather tired from already carrying him but ... perhaps they could take turns or something? Oh well. She would do it for Yin.
She looked at Alex, "If you wanna stay you can. You look sorta ... green." Maybe that was just the zombie skin?

Well, if he had to be hallucinating at least he was in a warm place. As only those truly asleep can do he began snuggling toward the heat source. He may have even let out a contented noise or two, but he honestly was not aware if he did so.
If he had been conscious he may have been a bit worried. Carried by a ghoul to a strange (and obviously moral-less) reaper's room, to put on strange clothing. Yeah, that was on the top of his to-do list.

"Oh, I could really use some warmer clothes, too. If you think you're ready to move, Alexander? I can stay here with you if you'd like to rest a bit more first." She kept an eye on the zomboil, noticing how he was avoiding looking at the fire demon. She'd heard undead didn't like fire, but she hadn't realized it was this extreme. She reached over to quickly squeeze his hand.

Alexander, while very pointedly continuing to avert his gaze from the other group so as not to see the fire and have another panic attack, was not about to stay behind while the others went to get dry clothes. He glanced up when Mitzi squeezed his hand, grateful for the support she was giving him.
"No, no, I'm going. I'm coming with you!" And with that, he sat further up, turned his legs off of the bed, and scooted down to the floor.
He really was feeling quite a bit better now..though still a bit offish. "Um, that's my natural skin tone..." He mumbled, looking at the floor as he shuffled towards them. His hair and clothing were still wet and dripping, leaving a trail of water in his wake. Not that it bothered him in anyway. He'd rather be wet then be on fire, and he preferred the cold to the heat, as it helped keep him from decaying.

Well, that settled that. Checking to make sure Danny was okay with Yin's weight (and that the monster wasn't groping or anything, taken those noises) he led them out of the infirmary and in the direction of his dorm.
(Exiting)

"As long as you're sure," she replied, rising to her feat as well. She kept close to the zomboil, just in case he was pushing himself harder than he should.
((Exiting, and plane taking off. Mitzi will just stick close to Xander.))
