What Diablo is saying to me makes me even more scared:
d: your only worry is
d: if it is an outside mouse
d: and has rabies
d: otherwise, mouse no real worry

S: oh sweet i'm probably going to die tonight
d: does it seem like an outside or inside mouse?
d: if inside mouse, small chance of rabies
d: if outside mouse, large chance of rabies
S: i don't know the difference yet
S: it's pretty damn small
d: if small
d: it is prob outside mouse
d: inside mouse gets big w/ food scraps
d: outside mouse forages, little food
d: ugh
d: i assume you have not had rabies vaccine for any reason?
S: no other than the typical shots you get when you go to college
d: yeah
d: that's not rabies
d: man
d: rabies SUCKS if you get it
d: even if you possibly get it
S: i dunno, we know where it is right now
d: you gotta take like 30 shots in your stomach
S: to an extent
d: well, like i said
d: do not get your fingers
d: anywhere near it
d: it will bite, which wont hurt
S: alright so it sounds like we shouldn't try to catch it
d: but you will get rabies likely
S: yeah, we will try to shooo it out of our place
d: if it turns towards you, looks angry, disoriented
d: that is more likely rabid
d: if it is passive, not scurrying too much
d: prob not rabid
S: what do you mean by "not scurrying too much"?
S: in a lil over an hour, i've seen it run across the room once to go under the oven
S: and a second time he peeked his head out a few minutes ago and ran back under the oven
S: is that not too rabid?
d: well, the fact that he came out
d: after seeing you
d: is not a great sign
d: gl
S: i see. we have all doors closed off, are in living room, and have door to go out of our apartment open... basically watching that direction [kitchen] while TV on.... hoping to see it eventually leaves.
