UPDATE: Open hospital log is here - somarium.dreamwidth.org/1205482.html
Hello, Somarium!
I've got a mod-approved plot event I am looking for volunteers for :) Basically, there's going to be a deadly viral outbreak in May. This will effect anyone who ate at certain restaurants in Somni (in other words, anyone who volunteers to get sick) during the week before the event. The event will start on May 12th and run for no more than a week, perhaps less, excluding back tags, of course :)
So, THE DETAILS:
I'm looking for people to volunteer to get sick. Or, alternatively, if your character is a doctor/healer and you'd like them to help the sick people out, that's awesome, too. People who would try to find a cure are also free to do that as well, and if anyone wants to investigate the virus outbreak we can turn that into a subplot as well. As the plot progresses more details on the virus will emerge and I already have a resolution planned as well. Obviously most of this will take place at the hospital.
Infected People:
The virus is spread through person-to-person contact, which means that new people can get sick during the event. So you are free to volunteer after the plot has started!
The symptoms of the virus will begin to manifest a few days after a character is infected. They are as follows:
Muscle pain and eventual degeneration, mild at first but it will get worse as the infection progresses. Paralysis will begin to occur over time, the speed of this depends on the person; in other words it's up to you.
- Hallucinations, which will also become more and more frequent as time goes back. Since the virus is attacking the brain, a character may hallucinate about things they've dreamt about, or have worse dreams than usual with worse dream effects.
- And some more symptoms, courtesy of
crystallium - Dizziness, numbness and tingling, headaches, memory problems, inability to focus, temors, slurred speach, and confusion.
- Basically, each person's infection will be different and you're free to have fun with it and decide which of worse (the muscle pain or the hallucinations) and if it effects your character's dreams or not.
Other information:
Healing magic will slow the virus down, but it won't cure it or stop it.
Death? This is a deadly virus, but whether or not your character actually dies from it is entirely up to you. Some people's health can deteriorate faster than others, and you can choose to decide if your character survives up until the plot resolution.
