othersdie: the low-hanging sun speckled with mystic horrors (Uneasy)

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.]

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.

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

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

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

The carnival ousting may have compromised their powers.

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

Makes me wonder if there are cracks that let things in. There has to be cracks that let things out again.

But then again...

Yeah. Thanks for explaining that.

That's why we have you! Otherwise...I'd just make everything worse.

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.

Well, I wasn't burning them at that point, yet.

But you're welcome.
punchedhitler: (Steve - this is my kind of shield)

[personal profile] punchedhitler 2013-01-09 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
I took a look, and I found it.
punchedhitler: (Steve - that gaze)

[personal profile] punchedhitler 2013-01-09 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
Can you do anything?

[He knows Theo works with the dead]
punchedhitler: (Steve - taste in my mouth)

[personal profile] punchedhitler 2013-01-09 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
We can set it up.
