Plot, part IV!
It's that time already, folks!
First of all, illness updates. By now, it should be realized by the doctors that whatever-it-is travels fast, travels easy, is everything a pandemic should be... but is for some reason not killing people. When Cuddy revives, she might be able to confirm what Knowlton told her; otherwise, it's up to an older character to realize: Discedo is coming down with Atropos.
And what is Atropos? Why, the very same highly deadly illness that killed most everyone in Discedo in the first place! Massive organ failure, fever, coughing, sickness, you name it, it's not a fun way to die. Except: no one is dying this time. Weird, right? We'll leave it to you guys to figure out/remember why. From now on, however, doctors can figure it out and deal with it more appropriately.
The illness will continue to be highly contagious, and the "stronger" effects - coughing up blood, higher fever, severe stomach pains - will hit anyone sick (if you so desire). It's still not fatal.
Now, for the second part! Obviously Cuddy was one of the lucky five names picked: the other four are Seifer, Ohura, Cynthia, and England. Between this evening and tomorrow, each of them will be kidnapped by one Thomas Knowlton. Why? Well, that'll be explained soon. It'll be up to characters to find and rescue these four, but here are the catches:
1. They will become completely untrackable magically, just like Knowlton is.
2. They won't have access to their communicators, to be able to call for help.
Knowlton will be contacting the city after nabbing them, however, so stay tuned for that.
We'll post how the rescue and endgame will go down in a couple of days! For now, any questions or comments (and, if the kidnappees could comment as well, so we can work out how the kidnappings will go down if you'd rather not just handwave it all) can be left here!
