Again? Really?

I have this bloody stupid flu again. I mean, how is that even possible? My whole life I've never had such a stupid illness, and since I came here it is the second or third time? This is humanity trying to gain the upper hand. But I shall not be overcome by mucus or cióughing fits. I'll stay firm in the face of things that come..., well, out of my face.
But right now, I think I may have a bit of a lie down. I'm rather hot. And for once even I know that it is not very appealing to she-human or anyone else.

Home alone? Never.

Please forgive me for not sharing anything with you for the last couple of days. No, wait, why am I apologizing? I am an orc, we don't do something like that. This human stuff is rubbing off on me in more than one way. The thing is: I had the flu. Again. (see last post) Never before in the 30 years I've haunted this world or any other did I have such an annoying illness. Being sick in any form is incredibly unorcish. The other members of the tribe would not let you live if they sensed a weakness. So in my world the flu would definitely be lethal. There is a strange thing about humans that they seem to care a lot for those who would not make it on their own otherwise.

What exactly is the point of The Flu? What is it good for? And don't tell me it is my body fighting off an infection. I never had such a thing back home. And believe me, my world is a lot more dangerous than this one, at least for the individual. Mass destruction is your strong point, I got that. But the monsters in my world are proper monsters. Here you have the flu-monster. And lots of them. Indeed it is difficult to fight them off when you can't see them. Maybe it is all a big lie and was just cursed by an evil witch. Sounds far more likely than invisible bacteria.
