[Hello hello Jack is greeting all of you lovely post-waterlogged people with a salute and a smile. For the so inclined, you might notice the backdrop has changed a little - because he's not in his flat. He is in fact posting from the Doctor's computer.]

Has there been a damage assessment from the storm yet? Property, businesses, people? If anyo-

[ But whoever could this be? In the background, those watching may spy the familiar face of the Doctor. Except instead of his usual tweed and bowtie, he's wrapped in a blanket and not looking quite as energetic as usual for anyone familiar with him. ]

-- Jack. Something feels off.

[ ...something being the mauve tinge his face currently has.

Come round, everyone. Thus begins the wonderful story of "Captain Jack hears an achoo!"

In which Jack turns around to witness said mauve, trailing off and forgetting whatever he was talking about.]

Doctor? ...You're purple.

Mauve, actually. And it's really quite concerning.
My hands are all clammy and my forehead feels like burning.

I liked you better pink. --Are you sick? Can you get sick?

That's only on Wednesdays and no, that's rubbish. I really can't be sure, I need a celery stick.

Are you channeling Dr. Seuss? What did you get into now?

I feel just okay, I feel just fine. If you don't believe me, come see how -- [ and conveniently cut off by a sneeze. ]

I'm simultaneously confused and grossed out. You need to lay down. And stop talking.

Nonsense, Jack. It's not all that shocking. It was barely a sneeze. Look, I'm still walking! [ aaannnnndd now he's not because irony has him flopping down at that very moment. ]

Well, at least he laid down. ...Doctor? Doctor-

[woops time to cut that recording off]

[Hey, come on. You started this.]

Then maybe you need to exam yourself,
And find out what is wrong.
You said you are the Doctor,
So fix the sickness and get strong.

My name is Sokka,
It's my name.
You might need to move to the side,
You're slipping out of frame.

It's what I've been trying to do,
ever since it began
It's a bit unfortunate,
I haven't really got a plan.

I've tried checking my hearts,
but they seem okay.
This whole thing sort of sprung up,
I was fine just yesterday!

Sokka, nice to meet you, though I wish it could've been another time.
Maybe we can properly talk when I'm not forced to rhyme.

Don't worry about it Doctor,
I'm sure you will be fine.
But what's this you say about hearts?
Plural, that's more than mine.

I wish you luck,
In getting better.
I know it sucks,
being under the weather.

The only thing I can suggest
Is not to run of jog.
But instead you could find and suck,
upon a frozen frog.

I look forward to talking to you when you're less purple,
Later for now Doctor and something about a hurdle?

Plural, that's right,
I've got two instead of one!
What's this about a frozen frog?
Is that something that's commonly done?

Two hearts that's quite a lot,
What are the advantages of having that many?
Frozen frogs, they taste real gross but seem to work,
Don't know how, have you got any?

Well, for starters if one stops,
I've always got one to spare!
I haven't got any on hand,
but maybe someone's willing to share?
