[After a day of putting things into the strange portal on floor twenty-three, something finally comes out. Many somethings. And it seems they are not satisfied with only the stray finger to nibble on...]

PLAGUE DOCTOR BEHAVIOR GUIDELINES

- Plague doctors use physical attacks, ripping and tearing their victims to pieces with hands and teeth. They travel very quickly and, when slipping in and out of reality, can seem to teleport from one spot to the next unpredictably.
- Characters whose collars are yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet will be attacked if the plague doctors notice them.
- Characters whose collars are yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet cannot harm the plague doctors. They must hide or run.
- Plague doctors become more powerful the closer to violet the character they are attacking is. A plague doctor attacking a character with a yellow collar will be weaker than the same one attacking a character with an indigo collar.
- Characters whose collars are orange will be completely ignored by the plague doctors unless the character directly attacks one.
- Characters whose collars are orange are capable of injuring and killing plague doctors, provided the means by which they attack are entirely mundane. They cannot receive enchanted items from other characters, for example.
- Plague doctors can only be killed by completely destroying the head. It has to be crushed into pieces.
- Plague doctors will carry any retrieval unit they notice into the rift they came from.

Label the date/time/location in the header, basic mingle stuff. DO NOT forward-date anything to Wednesday the 18th or later until further notice. Edit: Open from the 16th through to the 21st! Go nuts!

[ When word got around about the abnormal rip in the fabric of reality and later on, about people dropping various things into it, Hidetoshi didn't fault them for their curiosity and/or recklessness in disregarding their own safety; but that didn't mean he overly approved of encouraging or poking whatever horrible event was bound to be born out of that portal.

So when he comes across his first plague doctor in the hallways, his knee-jerk reaction is to stop dead in his tracks, balancing on the balls of his feet, knives at the read, prepared to start dodging whatever attack this new Jasonspawn (he remembered the information shared at the meeting, including Jason's true appearance. The face of a plague doctor's mask and strangely human eyes. He doubted coincidences like this were involved now.) abomination would unleash. Claws, syringes, poisons, teeth, beak, how would it attack him?

It simply warps out of reality, disappearing.

He whips his head around wildly, searching for its next location. It re-appears... Down the hallway, displaying no interest in him. And then again. It leaves. Like... It hadn't even noticed Hidetoshi existed.

The teenager is left staring in disbelief after it, feeling the sickly cold of fear trickling down his back. Why had it ignored him? ]

The next day:
[ His second encounters with the creatures around the Tower will not likely end so well. but whatever yolo ]
