Here's a handy little guide to what exactly touching Buboes/Pestilence will do. The type of disease will vary depending on the nature and duration of the touch.

Simple touch - minor illness. Usually colds for a brief contact, leading up to measles and mumps for prolonged contact.

Kiss - venereal disease. Buboes' favourite kind of fun and only a kiss will earn you a visit from the VD fairy!

Intimate contact - if the lady works a seduction, it's plague all the way. Bubonic plague will knock off any potential suitors in seven days flat.


Note: Diseases from Pestilence are all treatable with modern medicine - they do not have any special power beyond their ordinary effects.

Healing takes time.

That pithy little phrase was the bane of her existence. Time? She was Immortal, for Darkness' sake!

And it grated that a few pathetic months indoors were getting to her when she'd spent centuries stuck in that little cave, completely out of her mind and unable to push aside one little rock fall.

However, things were improving. She could now move between rooms without pausing for breath and she could read the New Scientist cover to cover without falling asleep.

Still, it wasn't quite living and there was this gnawing feeling that something was missing. Something that she could name but chose not to.

It was safe inside the apartment, with its wards and protections and lack of angels. She could rain down plague on the city from her window - bad cold and 'flu season in LA this year, worst for decades.

Something was missing.

Something that was now within ten feet of her apartment. Huh.

*tumbleweed*

So, it turns out this job is a little more intense than I thought...

I miss RP and I still love you all, but there's no way I can maintain the level of RP I entertained a year ago and I think we all realise that.

Therefore, I'm going to maintain a couple of active muses and set the rest to one side. That does not mean that they are retired - and I will be playing them upon request and noteworthy occasions (of which there is one on October 31st, I believe ;D).

Stolen from fang_of_spades:

Give me any two characters from any game past or present, as long as one of the characters is mine, and I will tell you - no matter how ridiculous the pairing - the following about their first child:
A. Name
B. House
C. PB (or description if I prove unable to find a good face)
D. Circumstances of conception
E. Three random facts

While Pestilence is still recuperating from her smiting, I thought I'd try my hand at a few drabbles.

So, this is a chance to Choose a Pestilence - it's like a Choose Your Own Adventure Book, except more likely to be 18-rated.
