[It's not entirely obvious when Snow White starts up the video, just how much pain she is in. She's still smiling but it's a bit more subdued. She's even paler (somehow) than she usually is. She also has a bandage on her neck. Her animal friends around her are deeply concerned, watching her carefully and Faramund, her giant stag is staying pressed against her side as if supporting her to stay upright.]

Why hello everyone!

My goodness, wasn't that jungle such an interesting place! I've never seen some of the animals there before! They were so nice, though. [Snow had struggled in the jungle not because of the animals but because of the pain she's currently in just for existing. But her pain tolerance, despite her appearance, is ridiculously high.]

Oh, but! That isn't why I'm speaking with you all.

I'm sure we've all noticed those terribly large blood boils coming up all over the place. And while the bloodhounds are doing a marvelous job getting rid of them, well there is just SO many of them the poor things can't get to all of them. Not that they don't try, of course. [Snow being Snow is yes, slowly befriending them.]

So, I'm going to tell you how I get blood out of clothing! And walls, and floors, and furniture, and windows, and really anything else! Especially since the blood splatters don't smell very nice. [That's one way of putting it.]

Thankfully, getting blood off the walls and floor are the easiest to clean with a good strong brush and bucket of scented soap! But I do know the rest can be very tricky.

So if you would like any help, please let me know. Blood in on fabriced furniture can be especially tricky.

...Hydrogen peroxide. I remember my mom using that.

[ He gives a small nod. When Midoriya was a small kid, he would get more bumps and scrapes at the playground than the other children. Snow isn't the only person here who knows how to get blood out of things, though it seems Snow is better suited for large jobs.

Midoriya is similarly subdued with a low quiet voice, lacking his usual expressive faces. No longer wide-eyed, he wears his new restfulness unconsciously. This is him now.

But he's still the same at his core. Despite the healed-over scrapes on his jawline and roughness to his damaged hair, he still hones in on someone who looks like she's having a rough time. ]

How are you, Snow White-san? And Faramund-san and everyone? I'm sorry, I've been out of town for a little while.

[onebadapple]

IZUKU! Izuku you're alright! Oh thank goodness! Your friend, Todoroki, does he know? Should I tell him? My animal friends were looking all over for you too!

Oh but... I don't think I've ever heard of hydrogen peroxide. Do they have it here?

Ae you... [She presses her lips together.] Izuku, what happened?

Private;

[wannasmash]

It's fine. Everything's all right now. He found me. I didn't know you were looking for me too. I'm sorry I worried you and your friends.

[ His smile is gentle and sweet, the way he looks at a friend, but not as bright. There are still ragged shadows around his eyes and a pale, papery quality to his freckled skin. ]

It might go under a different name since we're in a different world. It's the stuff that foams but doesn't sting. If you can find a Sleeper who runs a drug store, or an apothecary, they might know.

[ He presses his lips together pensively and says quietly, ]

After the Leviathan battle, my Corruption was very severe. I left because I didn't want to hurt anyone.

Snow?

[It had been some time since she spoke with her, but Luz was pretty sure she hadn't seen her skin looking quite so...alabaster-y? And what was with that band aid on her neck?

How did she manage all of the challenges]?

Are you feeling all right? It's ok if you're not, you know.

Private; CW: past child neglect

[onebadapple]

Hello, Luz.

Oh, I'm feeling awful, to be quite honest! [Snow White never lies, and certainly never hides things.] Every movement, even breathing, hurts. But that's alright! I've managed through much worse! [Snow White is also used to starving and being beaten or aching from endless upon endless hard labor.]

So, no, I'm not really feeling well. But things still need to get done around the house.

Re: Private; CW: past child neglect

[imaglyphwitch]

UM.

I see! You know, if you want, I could come over and help you with your chores and stuff. I could even make you some soup and we could properly find out what's wrong with you so you can feel better!

[It is taking all of Luz's self-control not to shriek out at Snow for neglecting herself because A) she KNEW the story of Snow White and B) she would officially be the biggest hypocrite in all the world. The last person that needed to give Snow White a lecture on taking care of herself would be Luz "I'll help my friends even if it hurts me" Noceda].

I know it might knock you off your schedule but I'd sure feel better knowing you're not feeling any worse!

[thunderingcourage]

Did something happen? What's the bandage for? You should have called.

[Maybe Makoto should have been keeping a closer eye on her. She knew that Snow didn't know much about defending herself against anything.]

Thanks for the advice, but I'm going to come over and help a little too. I know a few things to try as well.

Private;

[onebadapple]

Oh! Makoto! To be perfectly honest, I don't know how to explain it, but I woke up this morning with two puncture wounds in my neck that were still bleeding.

[Snow doesn't have vampiric lore where she's from, at least, not like what Reaper had done. The creatures that are similar to vampires in her kingdom are much more... feral.]

Oh, that's so kind of you, thank you, Makoto. I do appreciate the help. I'm afraid I can barely breathe without being in pain.

Private;

[thunderingcourage]

Two puncture marks? And it happened last night? I'll be right over, drink some water.

[At the very least Makoto would be able to numb the pain a little. But if there was a vampire, did that mean that snow would become one. Or maybe they didn't take enough for something like that. Either way Makoto would need to keep an eye on Snow and make sure that she was alright.]

I'll be able to help with that a little. Where any of your doors or windows open?

[survivalthroughhate]

I would be most interested in hearing what you have to say on getting blood out of clothes.

[Force knows Maul could use the advice given his usual day-to-day activities. But also....]

Are you well, my dear? You look a bit like you have seen better days.

Video;

[onebadapple]

Oh, that's quite easy! I've had to get blood out of all sorts of clothing both my own and others!

Hm? Oh, that's not very nice to say, Maul! The days I've seen have been lovely of late! I'm just in a good deal of pain when I move, even when I breathe.

But I'll be alright, I've been in much worse states than this!

At least I only have a few cuts and scrapes from the jungle and the strange puncture wounds from this morning. Other than that? I'm fit as a fiddle!

( The feed comes on to reveal the woman who's looking a lot worse for wear, herself. Rose is likewise very pale and her forehead is coated in a cold sweat. She's sitting on the sofa of her living room, all wrapped up in a blanket, and her movements are slow, pained. Seems like Warmbloods definitely drew the short straw this month.

Of course, what immediately draws her concern is that bandage on the girl's neck, and her tone clearly conveys her worry. )

Snow? Are you all right, darling? Did you get hurt while you were in the jungle?

Video;

[onebadapple]

Oh! Not really, I'm in quite a bit of pain, even when I breathe. Getting through the jungle was only possible because all sorts of animals were kind enough to help me. Those giant frogs were especially nice in getting me around!

No, I'm afraid I've been in pain since the month started. But, that's alright, I'm terribly used to aches and pains.

[everyrosehasits]

[Rose looks concerned at the state Snow White seems to be in and lets some of that concern leak into her voice]

The housekeeper back home always used club soda and lemon juice for stains.

But enough of that. What about you? Are you all right?

Video;

[onebadapple]

Oh! I don't think I've ever heard of club soda, I do know about lemon juice though, and white vinegar for very tough stains! A few other tricks as well for scent. [Snow was tasked with cleaning all. the. time. So she is damn good at it.]

Me? Oh, I'm in a good deal of pain, even just breathing is uncomfortable.

But there's nothing I can do to really help that.

[Oh, this...this is pretty terrible to watch, actually. Ochako bites her lip, feeling a pang of concern and sympathy all at once. Hitting far too close to home right now - someone pushing themself past their limits and trying to do so with a smile. She's guilty of it herself sometimes, too, and it's just...not good. Not good for anyone.

Ochako has been in pain for days now, perhaps even weeks, so she understands that it could be the same affliction as well. An illness, maybe? Ochako doesn't know, but she can't ignore it. She's a Hero, and also she's just...wanting to help.]

Um...miss? Are you okay? I-I'm sorry if this is forward, but...um. Y-You don't look well. Perhaps you should take a break from cleaning a while.

Video;

[onebadapple]

Oh! You're so kind and considerate to look after someone you just met! Why thank you! [You would never know she's in horrendous pain if it weren't for the fact that sweat is lightly beading on her brow.]

I'm afraid a break won't do much good. Even just breathing is quite painful, and things still need to get done around the house! I can't sit and do nothing, after all!

[tealeafs]

[ .. well, that sure is a message right here on the network.

Not that it's a topic that's entirely new to Chizuru, since 'how to get blood out of cloth' was a pretty big topic around the Shinsengumi headquarters, everything considered.. but it's something else to hear someone speak of it so casually here.

Especially someone who looks so soft, rather than the rough men of the Shinsengumi. ]

Y-You seem to know a whole lot about this! [ The other also looks so young?! Chizuru is pretty sure that she's younger than Chizuru herself is, which is part of what's making her sound so surprised as she replies. ] Have you done this often in this place..?

Video;

[onebadapple]

Oh yes! I was tasked with cleaning many things in the castle. Everything, to be more precise.

What, clean up blood? Oh, yes! It's everywhere, after all! Though I've only had to recently clean up my own.

[ramshackled]

Ah-- hey, Snow White. I appreciate the advice, but...

[Not that he likes thinking that she knows about all this! But still!]

Are you okay?

Video;

[onebadapple]

Yuu! You're so handsome! Why did you never show your face before now!

[Snow, that is so not the point.]

Hmm? Oh, actually I'm in a good deal of pain, even breathing is terribly awful to experience. But I certainly can't stop breathing! [She giggles...

Then winces.]

In any case, work has to get done, pain or no pain.

Video; un: Cass

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[...Well, the person replying to Snow's video certainly looks like Cassandra, but her face is... normal. Less pale - still pale but... healthy - and her hair a relatively human shade of grey and black.

She looks tired. Her eyebrows quirked in that normally frustrated look she always makes.]

It's something alright.

[Hm. Cutting to the point.]

You okay?

Video;

[onebadapple]

Oh! Cassandra! I almost didn't recognize you! What a lovely shade of black you have! Whenever did you decide to change it?

[Snow, sweetie, that is not important right now.]

Hm? Oh, no, not really. I'm in a good deal of tremendous pain whenever I move. Even breathing is uncomfortable, which is quite a shame because I rather like breathing... though I'm sure my stepmother would be pleased. [She says that after an idle thought, shrugs, and then winces with the movement.] Well, in any case, pain or no pain, work needs to get done! After being transported to that jungle I'm so behind on so many chores and cooking lessons!

[slayerskiss]

[Faith... stares at the image at the start of the video, specifically the wound on her neck, the way her skin's pale. It's... something that's fairly recognizable to a vampire slayer. This girl's missing blood, and a lot of it. And that's not even mentioning the specific spot...]

...Hey, kid, did someone... bite you?

Private;

[onebadapple]

Bite me? No, I don't think so! [Yes, someone totally did, Faith.] None of my animal friends did and they're the only ones in the house with me.

It was a bit troubling to wake up to a small pool of blood on my nightgown and pillowcase, but shouldn't I feel someone biting me?
