dontpokethat: that blaming me for them doesn't solve anything (i've caused enough problems to know)

MUSHI DISASTER

Who: Anyone and everyone; it’s a mingle-style log!
What: A sudden spike in the mushi population brings some trouble to the carnival.
When: Around day 87-90
Where: All around the carnival
Warnings: Illness, potentially some minor body horror, and so on



[Following the recent disappearance of Ginko and Tanyuu’s mushi repellent, there will be a sudden increase in the number of mushi in the carnival this week.

This is a mingle-style log, so just post a toplevel, tag out, and have fun with mushi disasters! Event information and questions are here.]

dontpokethat: you have to just forget about it and move on with your life (if you want something done)

Sure enough, that explanation is about enough for Ginko to work out what's wrong. "So... light is causing you pain, then. Alright, how long has this been going on?"

"Yesterday morning. Or--what time is it. I guess it's the day before yesterday by now? U-uh, about, about two days, anyway." He scratches at his neck, trying to read Ginko's expression. "Is it... you know it? Can those things really do that?"
dontpokethat: and make long hissing noises at anyone who stands in your way (do whatever you want to do)

"Two days... alright, we should be catching it early enough, then." That's good to hear, at least. "Some can. In this case, my guess would be that you've picked up a manakonoyami; they multiply in darkness, so they'll make light hurt their host's eyes."

"Multiply? Multiply where? Oh geez, no, I don't want to know that." As creepy as it is imagining bugs squirming around in his eyes or wherever, the technical explanation would only make the image worse. "Eurgh. S-so, what can I do? Is it--Steven needed to stay warm, do I need to stay in the light?" Please say no, that sounds terrible right now.
dontpokethat: it could have been some other times also. who cares (it was the best of times)

Well, he had been all ready to explain, but never mind then.

"No, actually; unlike tokoyuki, manakonoyami can be driven out with medication. If you want to come in, I can get you some now." Fortunately, the actual treatments for mushi infections hadn't been stolen.

For the first time, Greg feels he can breathe a little easier. "Oh man. Thank you, Ginko. You're a real hero." He hesitates just a moment before stepping in. "It's not a problem, is it? You were about to head out somewhere..." Just the knowledge that there's a treatment at all made everything feel a lot less urgent.
dontpokethat: stay out of it (its my severe head injury not yours)

"Not at all. I was just going to go see who needed to be treated, anyway; this is actually more convenient."

Once Greg is in, he closes the door - and makes sure all the lights are off in the trailer. He doesn't actually need them to see, and since he's already in the process of handling Greg's infection, there's no need to worry about the mushi multiplying in the dark.
