[ America sounds out of breath, which is not something that is easily combined with "absolutely hysterical." Like, you can barely tell if he's screaming or sobbing. Not unusual given that his little werepire boyfriend is now eating half the city! Except the reaction isn't exactly expected. ]

O-okay, okay so, I know there's a lot of things bein' said about Tatsumi and... a-and I know, since there's blood and all, and he's gone missing- it's not all his fault-!

I'M SORRY I GAVE HIM RABIES!

I KNEW AND I WASN'T SAFE! I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS AN STD! O-or that you could get it from drinking blood but I guess- AND NOW THAT HE'S GOT THE CHIP OUT IT'S ALL IN HIS BRAIN AND HE'S RUNNING AROUND ALL RABID AND HE'S BITING PEOPLE, ISN'T HE? I'M GONNA FIX IT DON'T WORRY I'LL FIX IT! HANG ON TATSUMI, I'LL SAVE YOU FROM THE RABIES!

USE PROTECTION. DON'T GIVE YOUR PARTNER RABIES!

[ He coughs, sniffles, tries to take a breath. ]

B-but don't worry everyone, I'll get this fixed! I'll catch him! J-just don't go around with a stake or silver bullets or anything, okay?! Because he's just sick! And I can cure him! I'm the hero, I'll save everyone.

...Meanwhile, ya'll should get some shots!

First, rabies is not spread by blood. It is spread by infected saliva, most commonly through dogs, bats or raccoons. Secondly, it does not cause aggression like you are describing. The most common symptoms are anxiety, convulsions, loss of muscle function, muscle spasms and excitability. If an immunization is not received death usually occurs from respiratory failure within seven days after the symptoms appear.

Man it's definitely rabies if it's through saliva. And anyway, his blood's all fucked up because of the werepire-ness! So it might be different! Besides, Little Prussia didn't convulse that much, and he's the one that gave it to everyone!

Transmission of rabies between humans has never been documented.

...That is completely illogical.

But we're not humans! Why do people keep assuming everything works the same for everyone?!

Is this really the time to be playing make-believe?
starspangledhero: (Course you're scared; you're dying!)

Is this the time to try to be stubborn?! Man, there are alien troll kids down stairs. You don't believe me? Just look at 'em! You're in another universe! I'm a nation and he's a werepire and I gave him rabies! Get over it.

Augh, I don't have time for this! Don't believe if you don't want; I already know Tatsumi and I know what I gotta do to stop him!

I haven't seen any evidence of any of this.

And that much was obvious. He's the culprit responsible for at least two attacks, one fatal. If he isn't stopped there may be more.

GO LOOK DOWNSTAIRS THEY HAVE HORNS AND GREY SKIN AND ONE OF THEM ATE MY DOG AND THE OTHER ONE SHOT ME IN THE FOOT and Aradia and Gamzee are pretty cool BUT SOME OF THEM ARE KINDA DOUCHE BAGS.

And thank you, Captain Obvious! I've already got a plan to stop him! I just gotta figure out where the hell he ran off to.

For a disguise artist such a thing isn't difficult.

Oh? And what is this plan?

starspangledhero: (When exactly did you lose your soul?)

[personal profile] starspangledhero 2011-05-09 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. Question. Are you stubborn or is there legitimately something wrong with you? 'Cause I'm gonna feel bad if it's the latter.

My blood. That's all you gotta know.

I'm a detective. I follow what the facts tell me.

...That sounds like a very poor plan.
starspangledhero: (We're leading a revolution.)

[personal profile] starspangledhero 2011-05-09 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
But you're ignoring all the facts so you can hold onto theories that don't apply! Sherlock Holmes would be ashamed.

It's not the entire thing, but it's gonna work! I've had bigger long shots work for me. Hell, I am a long shot.

[....Did he really just say that?]

[identity profile] modernholmes.livejournal.com 2011-05-09 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Seriously?]

You know nothing about Sherlock Holmes if you think that hE would simply accept the explanations that have been accepted in this place! Yet we must exhaust all natural explanations before we fall back upon such a theory as this. There is no evidence that such things as you mentioned are anything more than an elaborate trick.

[identity profile] modernholmes.livejournal.com 2011-05-09 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
Besides, none of that is something I want to hear from someone who actually believes all that nonsense.

And your plan is ridiculous.
starspangledhero: (Montreal is cool. Man they speak French!)

[personal profile] starspangledhero 2011-05-09 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Whatever, Holmes is English and does more drugs than me. And obviously hasn't heard of Occam's razor.

Nope! It's gonna work! You'll see!

[identity profile] modernholmes.livejournal.com 2011-05-09 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Holmes used opium, which was fairly common during that era. And is that really the kind of thing you should be admitting to?

I am suspicious of any plan that involves blood.
starspangledhero: (Can I meet John Lennon?)

[personal profile] starspangledhero 2011-05-10 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
I know, I used it back then too! Except I used it for medicine. ...And 'cause the only other options were whiskey and heavy metals. Anyway, it ain't a big deal man. Take the right stuff, and it'll free your mind.

It's not your blood so it ain't your business!
