The chess board is black and sticky like Shu Di Huang, the Yellow Qi piece is about to be moved. They are drinking purple tea (wu wei zi tea with zi wan root floating) to help with their KI and stop cough.
The game takes hours because they are constantly coughing and wheezing, and need to catch their breath as they play (SOB). Their spontaneous sweating does not help. One opponent has a coughing fit and all the pieces fly everywhere. Should close freezer and window to stop the fever/chills.

Blurred vision ferret ends up in the cold quick sand. She struggles but is stuck and a fever erupts from the stagnation. She tries to escape, and breaks out into a spontaneous sweat. The more she exerts, the higher the fever. Breaks to take a drink of piping hot liquid from the thermos (prefers warm drinks). Despises the coldness of the quick sand (loathes cold).

Story:
One ferret from principal formula of Liu Jun Zi Tang makes poor choices. Eats donuts and cold sludge slurpees for breakfast = cold + damp in the MJ (ST/SP Qi def with damp, cold stagnation).
Ferret takes one bite of donut and already feels full (decreased appetite w/ feeling full after eating very little). BELCHES and holds stomach ( abdom. distention and pain). Throws up and diarrheas in the cafeteria. Luckily hes brought his blow drying and sneakers, to dry out the vomit and move out of there quickly (more drying and moving than original)!
