The deities are calling them an infection. "Unwanted, unregistered guests." Beings that the deities didn't let into the City and, apparently, can't force out.

Considering their lack of control over the situation, I have my doubts about their suggested methods of extermination. I've seen fire in action. The infected catch fire well enough, but the ashes only breed more of them. Do not set the infected on fire.

Corralling them is ridiculous without superpowers. A human who tries to herd these things into a stadium will end up dead or, if they're lucky, just bitten. And why corral them? What does Fice want to do these infected monsters that wear the faces of people we've known?

My recommendations:
- Stay in a reinforced building if you don't fight. Avoid windows.
- Don't be a hero.
- Keep your distance if you can.
- The infected don't always die. I was only able to kill the two I knew.
- Destroy the heart or destroy the head.
- Hearts are difficult to shoot. Aim for the head.
- Remind yourself that this is the City. The City doesn't import undead versions of people we know, but it has a history of torturing us with specters of loved ones. This is a trick.
- If you need help, call someone. The police are doing what they can.
- DON'T BURN THE INFECTED.

It seems like you can only kill the ones that you know.

[Theo's been watching around.]

[othersdie]

So it seems. I'm not surprised.

[deadmanbusiness]

Neither am I, honestly.

Though I'm not sure if the deities are telling the truth about them not knowing where they came from. It just seems... off.

[punchedhitler]

Can you do anything?

[He knows Theo works with the dead]

[deadmanbusiness]

A little bit. I've been able to injure them and stop them. But only once. It's as if they I don't know... adapt around my powers?

They ignore me, however.

[maoser]

How can you be sure they aren't really our friends?

[He doesn't give a shit, but he's curious.]

[othersdie]

I can't be, but I know how the City works. It doesn't bring in actual people like this.

[maoser]

Hm. [He'll take your word for that for the time being. He sounds like someone who's been here awhile.]

Fice. One of the deities?

[valentineluke]

So there is a shred of common sense left in City.

The carnival ousting may have compromised their powers.

[othersdie]

If they have much in the way of powers.

The 'curse' was predicable until the one-eighty by fire. Either the outcome is intentional or they're grasping at straws.

As for my speaking with you; common foe makes for strange bedfellows.

...uh. Well. I'll stop burning them, now.

[othersdie]

Better late than never.

[beyourarmy]

Yeah. Thanks for explaining that.

[punchedhitler]

I was only able to kill the one I knew.

We should start a perimeter. I agree that people shouldn't try to herd them if they're untrained, but we need to get them somewhere.

[othersdie]

Are you familiar with the stadium the deities mentioned? That would be the best place for them.

[punchedhitler]

I took a look, and I found it.

[he_who_kills]

You much wise. Talk much, but wise.

[othersdie]

Thank you.

[he_who_kills]

You want help?

[byherscore]

But why not burn them to a crisp? They're so much fun to kill.

[ and with such an endless supply of them, why... she need never grow bored at all. Well, for the moment. ]

[ audio ]

[othersdie]

[Fun to ki--oh. This must be a crazy person. Justin's favorite.]

Most people in the City would rather not deal with ever-multiplying walking fire hazards.

[ audio ]

[byherscore]

[ absolute favorite. She does so love making someone's day ]

Hmmmm... but they're all going to die anyway. Does it matter how they go?

[ honestly. She doesn't care if it's by zombies or the very fire they set. In the end. They'll all just disappear. It was Amshel's fondest wish. ]

Fire only disfigured and angered mine. I'm grateful for the former effect, not so much the second. He did not multiply, however.

Of course, that might've been due to the nature of the fire I used.

[He'll look thoughtful or a moment.]

Their hearts are easy enough to gouge out once you render them immobile.

[othersdie]

I suppose results vary.

I'd rather keep my distance, but that does sound... effective.
