Event Log: Flu Season

[hadrielmods]

Who: All characters
What: The event log for the Flu Season event
Where: All over the city
When: March 20th-March 30th
Warnings: Gross sneezing, sick people, and paranoia

It starts with a cough, a sneeze, a sore throat - something small and simple, easily ignored. But then your symptoms get worse. It's probably been awhile since you've been sick, that sort of thing doesn't usually happen here. You might be able to raid the shops for some tissues and tea before it gets too bad, and hopefully you've got a friend to help out until you get better. Surely it'll be over soon, right?

Until the fever sets in, and you start to understand why your friend is really there. They don't want to take care of you. They want to make sure this is the last anyone will ever see of you. They want to learn all your secrets. They want to steal your most precious possession. You know they're plotting against you, you know they're keeping something from you. What will you do to find out what it is?

Then, as the sickness fades, you realize it was all in your mind. Let's hope you didn't do or say anything too awful. But that friend of yours... they seem to have picked up your cough. Maybe you should help them out?

► This log covers March 20th-March 30th.
► Feel free to make your own logs, as well
► Please tag headers of threads with content warnings where they apply
► Please put your character's name and open/closed in the subject line of your starters!
► If your paranoia ends in murder, please let us know here.

[ Magnus had been vaguely aware of the monsters from the previous arrivals and came to scope out the place, maybe find some more (hopefully non-monster) wooden objects to squirrel away and anxiously carve into (you guessed it) a bunch of ducks. He's been trying to keep a blank mind, reach some sort of zen through woodcarving, stop worrying, but this paranoia has wormed its way through him.

He doesn't even realize Taako is there until the wizard speaks, his mind so focused on trying not to focus. He spins around to look at his friend and then kind of just...looks around like he's trying to find an escape. ]

I-I won't! Sorry, I'll just. I can go?

[Sorry Magnus, he's a mess and didn't recognize you at first either. But now that he sees him, is it-- is it better or worse that it's Magnus? He doesn't know about Lucretia's plan yet, but he was always buddy buddy with the Voidfish. What if he knows. He has to know, he has to know and be coming for him. What if he reports back where he is? Taako can't let him do that.

He bumps the tip of the staff into Magnus' chest again.]

Nope. Try again. You think I'm lettin' you report back where I am? Fat fuckin' chance. Not letting you catch me, not letting you tell on me, so stick around, Burnsides.

[He's obviously trying to keep it casual, but his voice is strained, everything just a little too tight in his movements and his words.]
