(That doodle of Luka and Kas is adorable!)

Luka sighed. “I hope he feels better soon…” he muttered as Bean nodded. Lilac gripped onto Luka’s shoulder, shaking slightly. I hate this… she told herself, unable to say it out loud.

Kas ran his fingers through his hair and curled in on himself, wincing a bit as he moved his leg. He soon got himself settled on the couch and passed out, absolutely exhausted at this point.

Luka immediately tried to calm his sister down and soon Lilac fell asleep. Luka sighed before leaning back. He always thought Lilac was the least likely to get hurt. Oh, how he was wrong.

Tohru ran his hands through his hair, trying to calm himself a bit, but even that was difficult.
"What the hell is happening…?" He whispered hoarsely.
Am I dying? Please, please… not like this…
The slight trembling from before had spread to his whole body, and he took soft, gasping breaths.
Tohru curled in on himself, almost into the fetal position as he continued to gasp for air.

Bean went silent before standing up. “Maybe one of us should check up on him,” she suggested as she walked off to go find Tohru. “He could be in a lot of pain…” she whispered to herself as her siblings stayed behind. “Tohru!” Bean called out as she looked around for him.

(Oh no, oh no, oh no)

Tohru thought he heard his name, but it was mostly drowned out by the intense ringing that had set in.
He opened his mouth to say something- not sure whether to call for help or push them away- but he was unable to get any words out.

Bean continued to look for Tohru, fear filling her body as she searched. “Tohru, where are you?!” she cried. When she found him, she gasped and rushed over to him. “Oh my god, are you okay?!”

Rachel and Earl looked at each other simultaneously.
"Shit."
Rachel ran out, already getting out supplies. "Oh god, oh god." She had no idea what to do, for once.

Earl followed, gun raised for any zombies looking for an easy meal.

"I… I dunno…" Tohru sputtered, "Can't breathe…"
He tugged at his hair, fingers digging into his scalp, heart racing.
He bent his neck down more, closing his eyes and trying to push this away- whatever this was.

Mori followed after the others, slower due to him not feeling particularly great either. He glanced out the doorway at Tohru, seeming nervous. He left Kas unconscious on the couch.

Oh yeah, the character I will be throwing in when the time is right:

Name/any nicknames: Elisabeth Durkheim (Lis)
Age: 24
Gender/pronouns: She/her
Sexuality: Lesbian
Personality: She's not bubbly exactly, but she is friendly, if a little rough around the edges. Very spirited, fearless, maybe even a little reckless. She's got the loudest laughter and she at least thinks she's funny. She's no-nonsense and a little blunt, but usually more helpful than not.
Appearance: Lis is short, at about 5'2. She's pretty strong and has a good bit of muscle tone. She has pale skin with warm undertones and a spray of freckles over her face, honey blonde hair that comes past her shoulders, usually swept over one shoulder in a braid, and hazel eyes.
Background: She was living in an apartment with a roommate when this happened. She had recently started a job at a local aquarium, after struggling to find use for her marine biology degree. It's not that it was a useless degree, it was just bad timing, and she struggled for a while. Things were finally starting to look up, but then the apocalypse happened.
Outfits: Lis is a goth gf at heart. All black, snug-fitting clothing, combat boots. Dearly missed mesh and fishnets, but knows they're not practical. Beat up black leather jacket. Several piercings in her ears.
Hobbies/talents: She's pretty good at anything music. Also athletic and has trained in jiu jitsu and gymnastics. Excellent swimmer and formidable in a fight.
Weaknesses: Perception, remarkably bad at starting campfires and a few other little survival skills.
Gear/weapons: A lighter, a crowbar, toothpaste and toothbrush, eyeliner and mascara, a handgun, a bunch of random medicines, bandages, disinfectant
Open to shipping?: sure
Other: nah

“Would it hurt if I tried to help you up?” Bean asked, ready to help Tohru if possible. “I can’t stand to watch you in pain like this…” she sighed as she got closer, her hands visibly shaking.

Tohru curled in tighter on himself, shaking his head. He couldn't get out the words to answer her question, but he was pretty sure he couldn't move.
He tried to slow his breathing, but when he found that difficult, it just made matters worse. Numbness started to set into his fingertips as he continued to struggle.

Bean went silent. What do I do now…? she asked herself as she tried to look for something to help. She wasn’t strong enough to carry Tohru completely and…to be honest, she wasn’t sure if anyone else other than Earl could carry him. “Somebody please help!” she called back, hoping the others would come.

Kas stirred at all the yelling and groaned softly, looking around to try and figure out what the problem was. He sighed and carefully got up, testing his weight on his leg. He could walk, but still had a substantial limp. He headed out to the door and poked his head out. "What's everyone yelling about…?"
