» 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?
no subject
[As he muses, he takes Ryuji's hand in his own he preps the alcohol pad.] This is going to sting.
[That's all the warning Ryuji gets before 9S swipes the pad to his open wound.]
no subject
As long as those hands weren't trying to suture or burn away skin in a pinch. Maybe a little more tutelage would help with that.]
I dunno really know exactly what you're sayin', but it sounds kinda video gamey, so I'm gonna assume these are classes you're talkin' about. [Annd.... he'll go and ruin those good thoughts he had a moment ago by opening his big mouth.
He looks down at his finger, and since he's told that it's going to sting, he embraces for the impact of the burn, hell, even goes through the placebo effect of closing his eyes and wincing when it touches... but then.
Well that's weird. Really weird.
He doesn't feel anything at all.]
Uh...
no subject
Hm... It l-looks pretty bad still. [He helpfully comments, not noticing Ryuji's own concerns as he pushes forward. Twisting off the top to a small tube, he spreads a clear antibiotic paste onto the gauze and then presses it to Ryuji's fingertip. Then, with the occasional tremor or twitch of his hand, he secures it in place with bandage.
When he's finished he pulls his hands back and admires his work with a smile.]
A-all done!
no subject
Doesn't help either that as he watches 9S continue working on patching him up, that he sees the way he shakes, hears the way he still stutters. Man, the station doesn't hold its punches, huh? Takes no prisoners in its assertion for dominance over their emotional state.
Looking down at his wrapped up hand, he nods.]
It looks kinda freaky, but it ain't that bad. [Ryuji... this is the very definition of bad.] But maybe it'll heal up better since you gave it some TLC.
Thanks, dude. You didn't... have to go out of your way for me, but you did. It means a lot.
no subject
I-it was nothing... I was h-happy to be able to help. If you n-n-need anything else, don't hesit-tate ask.
no subject
[Ryuji... you can't just answer peoples' questions with responding in echo, but he does it so often that he can't help himself. But 9S goes onward in a path that downplays himself, and he thins his lip, annoyed with that same behavior that he's really, really also good at doing.]
Yo, man, don't frame it like that. I dunno what's happenin' to me or anything, but shit, this bandage looks kinda badass and, uh. You tied it nice 'n tight. It's really bomb ass work.
[IS THIS EVEN ENCOURAGING...]
no subject
Er... [9S furrows his brow at the pretty strange array of compliments(?). He thinks they're compliments, anyway.]
B-bombass... and badass, huh? Haha. Th-that's a first. They're not r-r-related to jackass, are they?
no subject
Yeah, I mean. The ass to cool ratio right now is practically teeterin' into the jackpot zone and, kaching, kaching dude, you're rollin' in the cool.
Also, I think jackasses are donkeys, right?
no subject
[9S pinches the bridge of his nose.]
I have nooooo idea w-what you're s-s-saying, but Jackass is a R-resistance android.
no subject
I'd be a jackass, then. No, I'm definitely a jackass. Minus the ass part... and my name's not Jack. But. The resistance part sounds kinda neat.
[He looks over 9S, trying to figure out if things were getting worse for him or not. The guy helped Ryuji out, so he really wants to return the favor.]
Hey, is there like. I mean, I dunno, I suck at computers and stuff. But you look like you're glitchin' out here, and there's gotta be something we can do to get that to stop.
[Because, after all... Ryuji isn't really certain he's going to make it.
Let's be real here, once you start losing body parts, there's really only a few ways this can go.
And if 9S is going to outlive him, he damn well better be in good condition when that happens.]
no subject
So he doesn't. Moving on--] Unfortunately, I'm the m-m-most qualified person on board to p-perform repairs on a Y-YorHa model.
Don't w-worry about me, Ryuji. I can be fixed. You...c-can't.
[He reaches out and places a trembling hand on his shoulder.] I need you t-to take care of yourself.
no subject
But he does look at 9S when he places a hand on his shoulder, and for a second, Ryuji just stares back at him, some of the optimism gone from his eyes. He doesn't really get a lot of people doing this sort of stuff for him, and he's always thrown back when it happens. He loves taking care of people. Being there for them when he's needed. He just never thinks... that other people want to do the same for him, so he's caught for a second, unsure of what to say, but, shit, there's a ton of appreciation in his heart when it happens.]
Oy... thanks... I mean it. I, uh. I'll be okay, dude. You gotta fix yourself up, too, then. [Hmm..] Let's make a promise. We get through this shit, and when it's over, we treat ourselves to somethin' fun.
no subject
I-it's a promise. I'll m-make sure I hold you to it!
