General ideas or plans for the month: It’s time for the return of Doctor Sextus and his Necromancy Physicals!

Event ideas:

My primary plan for this month is that Pal will be setting up a quarantine zone in some unoccupied corner of rooms in the Staywell in order to stop the spread of the infection, while also trying to find a cure! It’s gonna go something like this:
- After being infected in the early days of the month Dax (still fairly coherent and in control) will come to him to tell him something’s wrong. He will then examine her and discover that spooky, infectious mushrooms are taking over her nerves. Yikes! They will agree that a quarantine is a good idea.
- He’ll make a public announcement on the bulletin board and through the walkie talkies to please come to him if you feel weird! He will also recommend that people wear PPE as much clothing as possible to help stop the spread. Because Dax was so in control, he won’t immediately realize that people might say they’re fine but not be, though he’ll eventually figure that out.
- Pal will try to examine as many people in Well as possible and bring infected folks to the quarantine area. Eventually he may enlist some swole friends to help him drag people if necessary (any volunteers??)
- He’s also going to ask for infected volunteers to help him study the illness (including Light and anyone else who’s into it!)
- Obviously anyone can avoid Pal if they so wish! It’s also very possible to break out of quarantine once put there! The world is your oyster (mushroom)!

Near the very end of the month, Pal will get infected and will lock himself away. As the infection takes over, he will beg to be let out in the manner of The Silver Chair or Odysseus and the Sirens. Good times.

I am open to any and all nonsense happening around this. I’d love to hear from folks whose characters would help him manage this epidemic, people who would thwart him, and anything in between. Also open to suggestions/ideas about what the quarantine itself would look like or where in the Staywell it should be, since I’ve given that no thought at all.

On an unrelated note, while he won’t have any time to go on the tree quest, he WILL notice that the Survival book has ghost vibes and will share this info with anyone who is interested (which could be handwaved or played out)

Are you planning to create a log this month? Probably yes
