10IV start!

Who: 10IV
Where: The 10IV dorms
When: Day 355, morning

[ You all wake up in bed with your smartphone at your bedside, all of you in your sleepwear, with a message on your phone.

Good morning, newly departed guest stars! You've got new co-stars to meet, a new dorm to explore, and the television in the main room with the "names" of everyone in your unit with flashing empty boxes next to them, waiting for you to each assign yourself a personal color. Or assign them to each other, really, no one's stopping you.

Once you've chosen your color (or, once it's chosen for you), your closets will unlock with 3 sets of hospital uniforms fitted exactly to your size.

Also, the front door is currently locked. It looks like you actually have no choice but to get to know each other for an hour or two before those open up. ]

[ HEYYYYY 10IV, YOU GOT A VISITOR there is soft, polite knocking here from outside the dorms ]
tormado: One says "boy it's hot in here." The other says "HOLY SHIT A TALKING MUFFIN!" (Two muffins in an oven.)

[Opens up.]

Uh.

Hey.

You're not one of those people that's gonna stab us for points, right.

... Why would I do that?

[ She is small and looks even a little miffed that someone would even dare suggest that??? ]
tormado: (That was gibberish.)

[He's got like two feet on her and still looks kinda wary.]

I dunno! The message just mentioned shanking people for points! It's got me on edge!

That's so, so sad... but don't worry, I'm not here to do that. I was asked by one of your other unitmates to show up and talk about medicine.
tormado: (Did you say free trampoline?)

[personal profile] tormado 2021-04-27 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

...

This ain't a drug buy, is it?

I said medicine, didn't I?

Do not be concerned. It is not for recreational purposes. But... thank you.

This dorm looks nice.

[He is doing....something with some aersosol cans.]

Oh, hey. Here for the info? [He's putting away the cans and-]

[There's definitely a more friendly air about him right now. Less detached.]

Of course.

[ She notices that, but doesn't seem to say anything about it. ]
agentgymstudent: (Just a kid)

[personal profile] agentgymstudent 2021-04-27 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's pulling out a notebook and a couple of books, setting them aside.]

All right, tell me everything you can.

cw parasites/murder/suicide mentions

[personal profile] miirai 2021-04-27 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
... mm.

It's a parasite in the brain that essentially can cause people to grow paranoid to the point where they'll end up killing other people, and then themselves.
agentgymstudent: (So this is happening)

Re: cw parasites/murder/suicide mentions

[personal profile] agentgymstudent 2021-04-29 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Hmmmm.]

[He makes a note and looks at one of the books.]

So it probably interacts with the amygdala. The part of the brain that deals with emotions. [He flips through the pages.] Do they target subjects of their paranoia, or are they prone to a slaughter? Is there any commonality in suicide methods?

Usually the people they're paranoid of... although that tends to be 'everyone', in the end.

When they kill themselves... they do so by scratching out their throat.
agentgymstudent: (Glance back)

[personal profile] agentgymstudent 2021-04-29 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Fair, that, but there is at least some tendency to not seek out strangers?

So likely transferred by blood. Travel down from the brain to the throat, infect whoever comes for the body. [A pause, pen tapping his chin, muttering.] Maybe that's why paranoia. Usually stress builds along your shoulders and neck. Forces it enough to get the body to attack itself.... [Another note with question marks.]

Any other signs beyond paranoia and method of death?

[On Day 368 will be a box delivered with variously imbued hard candies with antihelminthic drugs, such as albendazole, mebendazole, praziquantel, and pyrantel pamoate. Modern day brain parasite medicine.]

[There is also a letter with the chemical break down of each one and carious reginement methods.]

['There is a chance you don't get to take these home. But if you memorize the chemical break down and methods, it should hopefully force research forward by leaps and bounds to find a cure sooner.

Good luck.
