Marigold's situation reminds me of thing from Mad Magazine back in the '70's when one astronaut says to the other, "I think I'm gonna throw up."
"You can't throw up. We're in zero-g."
"OK, then I think I'm gonna throw OUT."
Not particularly funny without the look on the guy's face, but for some reason has stuck with me for decades.

I'm led to believe that space sickness isn't anything to do with motion sickness: instead, it's due to that stomach clenching feeling you might have had going over a hump on a rollercoaster or going horizontal on a swingset -- imagine that, but you can't stop it.
(Sorry if I made anyone feel ill.)

Mostly it's when the visual cues around you don't tally with what your inner ear -- your balance mechanism -- tells you. So the swing set can do it -- anything that causes the balance and the visual cues to not line up. It can be induced, too, say if I tell you to imagine the sight outside your window going UUUUP and DOWWWWWNNNN, all ARRRROOOOUUUNNNNNDDDD ... hey, where are you going?

I get motion sickness thinking about motion sickness, maybe Marigold has that too. Or holowang makes her queasy and she's still stuck on that.

Considering all the yaoi that girl consumes, I doubt that's the case :laugh:
