» WHAT? Characters begin suffering mysterious and varied symptoms. (More info can be found HERE.)
» WARNINGS? illness, body transformation, loss of limb, general body horror, blood, gore
Characters start suffering from a light fever. They’ll feel tired and achy, more inclined to bundle up in a warm sweater (if they have one) and drink tea or have chicken soup in bed than anything else. Unfortunately, the food fabricators still don’t provide the best comfort food.
Admittedly: some people are more affected than others. Some don’t seem to be affected at all.
For some characters, the fever will go away and they will feel fine for a brief period. It was probably just a cold, right? And then new symptoms set in: something dark and black spreads from their heart toward their extremities through their veins, making them stand out strongly. It hurts a little, or maybe a lot and no one knows what causes this or what it is that is spreading so darkly through their veins.
For some other characters, the fever will also go away and they will feel fine for a brief period before different symptoms set in: something hard starts spreading beneath their skin, making movements just a little more difficult for affected areas. The pain of this ranges from light discomfort to severe.
For yet other characters, the fever grows worse. They experience hallucinations of their extremities turning to dust, just the way it looks when someone arrives on or disappears from the station. They lose sensation in their extremities during those hallucinatory episodes, so if they reach out to touch something with a hand they think has disappeared, they’ll feel nothing. If they try to walk and then hallucinate their legs disappearing, they’ll stumble and fall to the floor.
For some characters, the blackness spreads and brings additional symptoms and worsening conditions with it: their skin starts to rot and fall off, toe or fingernails or entire toes or fingers might rot and fall off, wounds open that ooze a black and foul smelling, thick fluid dripping without looking to stop even if pressure is applied. It’s painful, and the open, infected looking wounds will not close, however much characters try to treat them.
Slowly, these characters’ bodies seem to rot and decay while they still live. For non-organic characters, it’s as if their wires are melting down, metals merging together and seeping through components.
For other characters, the hardness spreads and brings additional symptoms and worsening conditions with it: some of their joints may no longer move at all, their skin turning hard and impenetrable. Characters will also their sensory perception of affected limbs/surfaces, becoming unable to notice when someone touches them on an affected area. They may also lose any other sense if the infection spreads to their eyes, their ears, their mouths. Moving is slow, difficult, painful, until it becomes practically impossible. The noises their joints make seem robotic.
Slowly, these characters seem to turn into something else. Something hard and metallic, something unfeeling and impenetrable. Something inhuman?
For those who were still suffering from the fever, it seems like there is finally some good news: the fever lets up - but then affected characters find first their skin and increasingly the entirety of their body turning translucent and insubstantial. It will start with their skin and spread to the tissue beneath. One moment, they are able to see their own organs working, their heart pumping as their ribcage turns see-through… and a while later, well. Have you ever watched someone’s heart disappear? Now’s your chance.
It might reappear for a moment, as though flickering in and out of existence. It might disappear entirely. Slowly, these characters seem to fade from existence.
The tables turn as characters’ bodies gain ground in the fight to return back to normal, but some changes disappear sooner than others and some might even seem to be permanent.
What is wrong with you? What is wrong with everyone? What caused it and how can these symptoms be treated, halted, reversed?
Is there a cure or is it possible to at least understand what’s going on?

What is wrong with you? What is wrong with everyone? What caused it and how can these symptoms be treated, halted, reversed?
Is there a cure or is it possible to at least understand what’s going on?

[What the hell? His breath is gross? Is that because it's rotting or it just has the normal levels of Ryuji stank to them and oh my god I've done it again and grossed myself out writing shit I had no intention of actually writing.]
STITCHES?
[Stitches.]
I'm not cat food man, what the hell?
[WOULD LISA EAT HIM.... THAT'S SO HORRIBLE.]
Ugh. Shit. Now I'm just imagining that sandpapery tongue all over my face and I'm kinda regretting a lot about my life right now.
Also, I haven't taken a shit in a week and it's kinda freaking me out.
1/3
[ It's definitely not in front of the toilet when he needs to be reminded of his mortal body and what a literal shitshow he could be watching you did this, you lay in the bed you made. ]
Stitches, Terror of Dorkshire. [ You can take the boy out of World of Peacecraft but, etc. ]
And come on, let's not pretend that if we died tomorrow Lisa wouldn't use our bodies for sustenance. It's a final bid of affection from a carnivore like that and as her parents we can't expect a lot from kids in this economy.
[ Hurk. Did he just... ]
2/3
Ren could go into the gorey details of his thin zombie skin getting peeled off like a descaler is used on fish in prep but
.....
]
3/3
no subject
He'd maybe high five Ren, but he doesn't want to lose a hand. And also? He can't see that hand. It's like playing peek a boo with a baby. Yep. Ryuji's just a big ole baby.]
Goddamnit, Renren.
[Narrowing his eyes, he sighs exasperatedly. Is this how Hajime feels every time he talks to him?]
Constipation is the realm of jokes that even I can't live in.
[Is it constipation though? If you just... don't eat anymore?]
So I'm gonna need you to put some blockage in your jokes.
[Fuck.]
no subject
Ehhh. Not your best, that's maybe a seven.
[ His hand tips back and forth, which is to say they can see the muscles flex back and forth before - welp, yep, there disappears another layer of tissue? He's gonna be skin and bones soon, without the skin. ]
What if I just can't hold it in anymore?
[ This is gross, they've made so many bad decisions. ]
no subject
[He'd rank it at a 5 or a 6, but he's not getting into the finer details of its construction... or deconstruction, either. And Ryuji tries to hide the obvious frown at seeing his best friend, who he thought was everything, turn into a big, fat amount of nothing. Don't directionally mention it. That way they both don't have to live with the eventual consequences of their respective states.]
Clench your cheeks and hold it in.
no subject
[ You should write for the Nintendo Power Tips & Tricks hotline bruh. But they should probably stop while they were ahead and still had a modicum of respectability between them and pinch this one off for the moment.
But(t) they're cut adrift without toilet humor to grossly distract them, and hey, after he got past the not at all traumatizing laugh-a-minute hallucinations that wracked his body for the better part of five days and made him certain that he was dissolving into nothingness, he'd say he's doing pretty good now? All things considered. Ren's natural state is to be more concerned with his friends first so on that front, it's doing his friendly
dootyduty to prank Ryuji out of slipping into a hunger for brains. Success? ]Constipation noted, and besides that how are we feeling today?
[ As the only one of them with a healing Persona on the station at the moment he's gotta keep track of these things. Or, pretend like he has a say at all and like he isn't out of his depth entirely, absolutely useless at finding a cure before his friends go away in the manner in which they have contracted a mysterious space flu. That. Give this to him. ]
How many fingers am I holding up?
[ :3c ]
no subject
Why...]
Goddamnit man, that ain't funny.
[Why is he smiling though? Ryuji can't believe that Ren is pulling this bullshit on him, because... hey, it's kind of terrifying that your best friend is just fading into nothingness, and sure, it's cool to laugh about it now, but when this gets worse, what's there going to be to laugh about then?
Aside from being haunted.
They'll both go down to the bitter end pranking each other. Sounds about right.]
...
...
[He holds up his own hand.]
How many fingers am I holdin' up?
[There's a max of four to work with here.]
no subject
[ Abracadabra, mothertrucker, watch as I make myself disappear!
Come on man, let that smile out of the cocoon like the beautiful butterfly it is. Neither of them are gone yet, and there's no guarantee that a cure won't be found even if they weren't the ones doing the legwork, so why make with the giving up? That's not the shounen protag he knows and loves.
Ren doesn't try to couch it as putting on a brave face because he knows what he's doing in his own head, too. Instead, he's unapologetic about his blatant attempts at pulling Ryuji back up onto his feet (morale-wise, though he won't be able to physically soon and ain't that some BS). But hell if giving up's gonna happen under their roof; Ren will haunt his ass til the end of time and make inappropriate comments when he's naked because Ryuji can't prove he's not looking.
(This also assumes that Ryuji will make it, and this is nonnegotiable to Ren. He doesn't believe in a world without Ryuji Sakamoto asking his friends what kind of animal the Pink Panther is. This is not their Kobayashi Maru.) ]
Gimme a sec, something's off about this picture.
[ Hmmm. ]
Dude, where'd your other arm go?
[ ???? ]
no subject
He looks behind him.
Oh fuck no.
When did that even?]
WHAT THE HELL!?
[Must've been during the clothesline kerfuffle. Ryuji's stare goes down along where his arm should be and over to the appendage that's lifeless and---]
YOU USELESS PIECE OF SHIT!
[Can he reattach it? Is that how this works?]
no subject
Uhhh??
He... broke Ryuji??? ]
Holy shit.
[ This isn't like a Ken doll, man, this is serious! Get with it!
Running on automatic (how would you react to dissembling part of your best friend), Ren scoops up the arm with his one good hand.
...
...
And he lifts it up. ]
High five?
no subject
This is an entirely traumatic event here- Ryuji's used to one of his appendages being kind of shitty, but now he has to deal with the loss of a functional arm AND a leg, and what the hell is he supposed to do with that?
He high fives the ever living fuck out of his severed hand. God, this is so goddamn morbid.]
I swear though, if you start doin' that "stop hittin' yourself" shit, I'm outta there.
no subject
Aw man, I didn't mean to Barbie doll you and leave you naked in the bathtub or whatever.
[ What can even be done about limbs summarily falling off? It was already kinda smelling from what Ren can tell; his senses aren't what they used to be like, a week ago. Ren looks forlornly at the hand and. Y'know. Gives it his own high five. ]
Like, I'm not bad at sewing if there's some thread around here. Bite down on a pencil or something, I got you well in hand.
[ Hehe. ]
no subject
But, in all seriousness, he's trying to keep his cool about it. It's all fun and games until someone loses an arm, and this is the LITERAL POINT OF THAT HAPPENING, so he just kind of... stares at it.]
Dude, I'm the Ken doll. What the hell.
[Or not.
The wheels are spinning in his brain.
His zombie brain, so. Slowly. Or, slower than usual.]
Think we can... like... glue it back on?
