Oops!
Well, it was bound to happen eventually. After discovering that the giant scorpion was able to use the teleport crystals, Raina and Loe set out to tweak them to make sure that could never happen again. Unfortunately, there seems to have been an error in the process. The teleport crystals in the various cities are glowing brighter than normal, enough to see by at night, even, and are warm to the touch instead of their usual cool. But that's not a big deal, right?
Well...not at first. Characters who come into contact with the crystals (whether or not they actually use them) won't notice anything immediately. By 6PM EST Saturday, however, every character who has contacted a crystal since they began glowing and warming will have developed small, itchy rashes on random spots on their bodies. This rash will most often appear on the arms and hands, but could show up anywhere! Over the next day, the rash will become larger and somewhat almond shaped, and the itch will increase to almost unbearable heights. Nothing alleviates the itch, not even scratching.
In fact, as characters scratch, they will notice that rather than bleeding, the skin splits open to reveal--an eye. Every little almond-shaped patch of rash will eventually split to reveal an eye. They come in all colors imaginable, and characters will likely find themselves very disoriented for a little while, as these eyes are fully functional.
The eyes will remain in place until the crystals are repaired at 6PM EST on Monday. Have fun!
