First of all, I'd like to point out that I have changed my username. I first joined this community on student council business, using the name president_karen. Since then, though, I've made friends here, and had many... interesting experiences. I've been here much longer than I expected at the time, and even if "President Karen" was at all still relevant, the title's days are numbered. So don't get confused.
With that out of the way, more important business related to those interesting experiences I mentioned.
For most of the time I've been here, and reportedly before that, viruses have followed certain patterns. Each month has involved one virus, or two with some separation between them. Each virus has affected a large number of members, and has lasted only a few days, occasionally with a few exceptions. These patterns, however, appear to have been disrupted. As far as I can tell, there were no viruses at all during the month of December, which is strange in of itself. January, on the other hand, had at least three, and their behavior was odd.
Almost immediately after the month started came the first, which affected only Azula and myself and lasted several weeks. This virus produced very elaborate effects in my world, creating a complex "history" for Azula and everything that it required, including an entirely new company.
It's unclear to me when the second virus started, but it was close enough to the same time as ours that we initially assumed they were the same, a general "modified memory" virus. In any event, Blackout suffered partial amnesia, apparently virus-induced. Again, he seems to have been the only one affected. From what I understand, this virus lasted even longer, and overlapped both of the other viruses in the month.
The third virus, as we are all aware, was near the end of the month. In spread and duration, it was much like earlier viruses, but it was by far the most elaborate virus I've seen here. It shared elements with the "family" virus from before, but also created an entirely new environment for those affected. There is also the matter of the faceless voice that acted as a guide, which seemed to think of the events as a game of sorts and to have some measure of control over our situations.
It's unclear whether this all was just a random occurrence, or if something has actually changed. In any event, however, it's clear that there is more to the viruses than we previously realized.
