Doombringer knew something was wrong when he woke up. His head was killing him, and he felt freezing. It was always cold in this realm but this was an unusual kind of cold. When he stood up from bed his vision was swimming and he almost fell back down. He let out a groan as he got out of his room. Even though it was always dark the lights seemed too bright. He went to go shower to try to feel a bit better.
When he arrived at the bathroom he saw 1x there getting ready. She gave a small nod to him and continued to get ready. He got into the shower and turned on the water. He usually took cold showers in the morning but he felt freezing so he took a hot shower. He got the shampoo and conditioner and washed his hair. Under the bucket he actually has pretty long hair he just puts it in a bun so it won't bother him. He got out of the shower and felt a bit better from earlier. The headache had lessened and he was still a bit nauseous but it was manageable.
He went downstairs and immediately regretted it. The kids were running around and 1x was screaming at them. John Doe was sitting on the couch talking to Mafioso and Noli was just being Noli. He already felt his headache come back even worse than earlier. He decided to just quickly grab some food and head back to his room. He got 2 eggs and a piece of toast with coffee and headed back. He sat down at the table in his room and quickly ate the food. He felt colder than earlier but he brushed it off. He changed out of his pjs and got ready for the rounds for the day.

He had the unfortunate luck of being chosen for the first round. When he arrived on the map he was disoriented and nauseous. Looking around he saw that the map was Plant Voss. It was a shitty map for him as survivors had an easy time hiding around the walls scattered around the map. He groaned as he picked up the banhammer getting ready to kill the survivors. It wasn’t long before he found the first suvivor. It was the trapper he immediately ran towards them breaking the tripwire and hitting the tripmine. It didn’t give him helpless but it still flashed bright purple. He immediately grabbed his head, the tripmine felt worse than usual and it hurt.
When he opened his eyes the trapper was already gone and no one else was near him. He let out a sigh and continued to look for the others. He already wanted this round to end, the survivors kept evading him and he was starting to get tired. He spotted 007n7 out of the corner of his eye. The perfect target he thought, 007 never had anyone near him so there wasnt going to be anyone else getting in his way. He immediately started the chase, just as he was about to hit him with the banhameer 007 collapsed. He realized that he was chasing a clone, not the actual survivor. He really needed rest.
A few minutes later the round ended and he was teleported back to the killer's cabin. The second he spawned back at the cabin he went to his room. He felt more nauseous than this morning and just wanted to sleep. When he arrived he just collapsed on his bed and passed out.

A few hours later he woke up and somehow felt even worse than this morning. Sword Fight on the Fucking hights everything hurt. Suddenly he heard knocking on his door. He let out a pained groan as he got up and opened the door. Surprisingly the person who was on the other side of the door was 1x. He was about to say something but his knees buckled under him. 1x thankfully caught him before he fell face first

¨Shit, dude are you good? You’ve been off all day.” 1x said but was more focused on how Doom looked. He looked like shit, his hair was messed up and he was sweating. When she put her hand to his forehead they immediately jerked back. He was burning up. “Shit he has a fever,” she muttered under her breath. “Alright lets get you back to bed,” stated 1x more as an order rather than a statement. She dragged him up and over to his bed, laying him down and covering him with a blanket.
She didn’t know how to take care of someone, after all she was a fourth dimensional creature who didn’t get ill or injured. She thought about it for a while then realized that Azure probably had knowledge on healing and herbs based on how much time she spent gardening. He went downstairs trying to find Azure to hopefully get some medicine or even tips to help Doombringer.
They may not show it much but they care about all of the killers and knew something was up immediately when they saw Doom this morning. He looked bad and took a hot shower which was something that has never happened before. She was planning on checking up on him earlier but she got dragged into a round and then the kids wanted her to cook for them because for some reason she is the only one who can cook without burning the kitchen down. You would think some grown ass adults could cook something but no.
She eventually found Azure outside tending to her plants. He knocked a bit on the tree nearby to get her attention. She looked up from her plants wondering what 1x was here to talk to her about
“Hey Azure so do you know anything about taking care of sick people? Doom is kinda sick and running a fever and I have no idea on what to do,” Explained 1x. For some reason he felt nervous about asking Azure about this. They had never talked much in the past except for polite greetings. After the spectre gave them more control over their own bodies everyone became a lot closer. Even some of the killers and survivors would talk with each other.
Azure blinked, 1x felt a bit subconcius. What if she was judging him or thinking about how weird he was acting right now. When they were first transported 1x acted more brash and rude to the others. He had other feelings but hatred was the most prominent when they were all transported. The Spectre had suppressed their emotions to make them killing machines. Now that its grip was weakend they could have control again.
She snapped out of her thoughts when Azure got up and started to walk towards the cabin. He immediately started to follow her wondering what she was getting. He knew there wasnt much inside of the cabin, mostly food and some random supplies. When they got inside Azure went to one of the cabinets that wasn’t used much. There wasnt anything put in it when they arrived so they all just assumed it would remain empty. To 1x’s surprise when Azure opened the cabinet there were herbs filling it up with labels and mixtures that she didn’t understand. There was also a pestle and mortar, probably for mixing the herbs.
Azure started rapidly signing -What symptoms does he have and when did they start? I need to know so I can make the proper medicine. For him-
1x Thought for a bit Doom had been off for a while but the symptoms really started today. She knew he had a fever but didn’t notice much else, he might have a headache based on how he looked like he was in pain when the light from the main area got in his room. “He has a headache and fever, don’t know if he has anything else” stated 1x.
Azure nodded and began getting herbs from the cabinet and the pestle and mortar. She got some water and started to crush the herbs and mixing them with the water. Eventually combining into something like a sticky paste. It smelled terrible but that was expected. Before 1x became what she is now she was like most robloxians. She could get sick and when she did the medicine tasted bad. That is one thing he is thankful for after becoming a 4th dimensional being. They never had to taste that again. Azure started signing again-Here this should be enough for a week, make sure he takes this once a day.- She gave a small plastic bag of the medicine, it was green and felt like a dough. -He can take this with food to make it taste better, nothing heavy or rich though, foods like that aren’t good for people who are sick and they could even throw up.- 1x Grimiced as Azure signed that. He sure as hell didn’t want to deal with that. Sure he wanted to help Doom but there were limits. He nodded as he started heading towards Doom's room. She grabbed a glass of water on her way there as she didn’t have time to make anything.

Doom layed on his bed awake, after 1x left he couldn’t sleep. Why would 1x help him, he was an admin and she was a creature they were supposed to banish. He just hoped they would come back soon, he was cold and they felt warm when they carried him to his bed. He was then reminded that he was sick when another wave of nausea washed over him. He ran to the bathroom as the little bit of food he had for breakfast was ejected from his stomach. He flushed the toilet as he got up to rinse his mouth out. He still felt nauseous but not as badly as before. He got back to his room and curled up on his bed, he just wanted to sleep, at least when he's asleep he doesn’t have to be in pain.
Suddenly the door to his room opened as 1x walked in holding a bag of green paste and a cup of water. He sat up on his bed propping a pillow behind him. 1x Walked in slowly placing the bag of paste and the water on his nightstand.
They put their hand on his forehead as she asked,”How are you guys feeling now?”
“A bit better than earlier, I threw up a little bit ago so the nausea isn’t as bad as before. Although my head still hurts,” rasped Doom. He hadn’t had any liquid since this morning. 1x Handed him the glass of water and a bit of the medicine. He ate it and washed it down with the entire glass of water. It smelt terrible and he could even tell with his stuffed nose.
“Noted, I'll get Azure to make somthing for the nausea later.” She placed her hand on his forehead. Her hand felt cold and he leaded into it trying to escape from the burning heat. “You still have a fever,” commented 1x. She was getting up to leave when Doom grabbed her hand.
“Stay, please,” mumbled Doom.
“Are you sure?” questioned 1x.
“Yes, now get in the bed,” demanded Doom.
1x sighed as they lifted the blanket climbing in next to Doombringer. He immediately latched onto them like they were an oversized plushie. They relaxed hugging back against Doom as they fell into the embrace of sleep.
