Summary Weekly P&P Round Up #2

The Announcement

So about that quarantine, it's not really working is it? That sure sucks.

Firehead has spread like a rash between Black Rock Seahold and Southern Weyr. It's been spotted in numerous cotholds despite the best efforts of Healer Hall. Why exactly, it's managed to spread with such speed and efficiency is unclear. It's largely in populations that are situated along the water, a connection?

Perhaps…

With Black Rock having been locked down for so long, some of the less savory types have seen fit to leave the area in search of entertainment. In addition to firehead tormenting Southern's coverage area, acts of piracy have been on the rise. Locals are pointing their fingers at those outlaws of the sea, accusing them (and any traders they spot) of being the ones to spread the plague around since they're still moving so freely.

Meanwhile, Southern has finally been hit with firehead hard. Jaguar sees several cases of it as well as the weyrling barracks (S'nar is down for the count, yet P'quil and T'zaim remain healthy as horses). It can't all be blamed on the first two victims, because it pops up in Ocelot, Lynx and Serval as well. All four of those wings have been helping sick cotholders, so people say it was only a matter of time. There's a vocal portion of the weyr's population that argue Southern should have stayed out of it. But what's done is done.

As of now the lower caverns has remained incident free, but for how long? And how bad will it get at the weyr? Healer Hall is requesting that travel to and from the Southern Continent be restricted for now, especially with one case having popped up in Igen.

(BIG HANDWAVE on that travel thing for people who want to go to Igen's hatching :D)

Hooks:

*Get firehead! Just remember you'll be out of commission for several IC weeks.

*Black Rock is no longer under a strict quarantine because it really didn't work anyway, though people are advised to STAY AWAY if they're healthy. Go visit the ill if you're brave!

*Pirates are now freely moving in Southern's direct coverage area! They can come visit and claim to be traders (or any other coverage story they can come up). Just use caution, ICA=ICC!

*Dangerous encounters with dangerous people out of the weyr's safe walls! Again, try not to get stabbed.

*Have an opinion! Is your character annoyed the weyr didn't do enough? Or do they think they weyr did TOO much?

Got any questions? Suggestions of your own? Shoot them to A'hali, Clementine, K'ane or T'zaim! Or just *send *sws! :D
