Jason's hoarde of angry nurses

[bashfulshifter]

Characters: You. Yes, you!
Setting: December 16th through 21st, all the places!
Format: Any!
Summary: Plague doctor panic shenanigans for the Into An Abyss event, day two and onwards until the pesky creatures stop annoying everyone. Or in the case of non-orange-collared people, maiming them.
Warnings: Monsters! Battles! Death! Orange collar badassery! The Tower! Too much to handle!!

[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!

[Rick really should worry less. The last thing Diarmuid is going to feel toward him is disappointment. He just worries because at times, Rick is far too much like he is.

Worry and all.]

I am going to be spending a lot of time in the Infirmary over the next few days, I expect, since Waver will be getting the new collar fluid tomorrow and I don't want to leave him alone until we know what is going to happen. I will be glad to get out of there for a little while.

[Oh yeah--the new collar fluid! Rick nods with enthusiastic understanding.]

--I-I, um--I'll h-have m-mine the d-day a-a-after, too. [He bites his lip.] ...I h-hope I can s-s-still h-help...a-a-afterwards, I m-mean.

[Diarmuid gives Rick a confident smile.]

I am sure you will find a way, Rick. You are a very determined and clever man, after all. No matter what happens, you won't let it stop you for long.
