THE CURSE AT EHNITA LAKE PT. 2
This week officials and researchers have scrambled to bring in clean resources for town and decide the next course of action for Lake Ehnita. The hospital has accepted hundreds of patients for minor check ups and informative meetings, but few can say with confidence exactly how to manage symptoms except to contain the spread. Klamenth Falls yearned to receive positive news from researchers, but when it was released many in town remained disappointed. Some were angered.
Vampires are the only species immune to this illness.
A ray of hope, are vampires the cure? Their blood? Skin? No. Officials say there is no evidence beyond their current findings that vampires would cure the town through a simple DNA sample. This discovery leaves some suspicious; are the vampires in town actually responsible for the contamination? Tensions begin to rise high.
Back to square one. The spread.
A lack of care beyond containment has led to new symptoms for those infected. Some victims may experience one, two, or all symptoms. No one can say, but doctors fear the worst is yet to come:
Magic Users (any type): Numbed and twitching muscles
Inability to control magic
Weakened magical abilities
Shapeshifters (any type): Aching bones and joints
Lack of control over shifts and senses
Painful shifting
Celestial Beings (angels, demons, fae, etc): Sensitivity to light and sound
Weakness to metals
Weakened or complete loss of special abilities
Humans: High fever
Hoarse cough, breathing
Dehydration
**Bleeding from eyes, ears, nose, gums (only rare few/extreme cases. Seek immediate hospitalization.)
Humans are at a great risk due to severity of symptoms, dehydration, and weak immune systems. Elderly and youth patients in the hospital are monitored 24/7.
Researchers are taking samples from the lake, town, and individuals living in Klamenth Falls. Both infected and non-infected. Knowledge is the only means beyond a miracle to stop this outbreak from becoming an epidemic. Home review and consultation is available.
People’s Grocery is providing packs of bottled water for locals, use for drinking cleaning and cooking, limited per household.
Other locations to receive clean water for personal use are the university and the church.
Most businesses have adjusted their systems to no longer run local water while others are still in the process. Businesses that have not made this alteration should remain shut down till safety precautions are cleared for public safety.
With the initial scare out of the way, the hospital is in better shape to accept minor or serious cases. More staff have been flown in to assist.
Victims should remain indoors and move only when most necessary. Wash hands regularly with clean water and do not partake in activities that would bring others into contact with bodily fluids.
OOC: With all our events, players can pick and choose how their characters will experience the news, symptoms, or simply the aftermath unfolding around them. Decide how you’d prefer to pace your story and how deeply this curse will impact each character. Also, have fun~! We love any excuse to torture our characters~ If you have any questions, feel free to ask Mod Lea and Blue anytime.
This event will be ongoing. Look for another update next weekend and remember that a curfew is still in place for the whole town–unless an emergency strikes!
