“I know what a misnomer is. But that will just make curing it a
millionfold harder. And how does it spread in that case. To be
frank, This ‘virus’ is making me regret being a doctor.” The
psychic type used finger quotes when she said virus.
“Can you please remind me the list of symptoms again?” She asked.
She hoped that it sounded like a disease that there was already a
vaccine for, so she could alter the recipe just a little. “I
remember it being something horrifying. I apologize, it’s just that
I’ve been getting headaches, like there is a disturbance in the
force.” (I’m referring to whatever the heck gives psychic’mons
their powers.)
(Yeah) "According to our research and some eye witnesses, there is
a gradual personality shift to basically life autopilot, then they
start being really formal, then they get severe migraines whenever
someone is kind to them, then they get constant headaches, then
their body shakes before they seemingly disappear."
“Eh, it isn’t too bad. I was trying to meditate because of a
headache. I don’t think I am infected, I mean, I love compliments
and such. Yeah just say I am infected and don’t want in quarantine.
And that doesn’t sound like any disease I have treated.” The
psychic type said, somewhat worried that her headache could be
because of one of three worrying reasons.
One: she has the virus
Two: there is a disturbance in the psychic type force
Or three: a completely natural reason that I will not mention.
She really didn’t want any to happen, but what if nothing could
cure this, or what if she’s freaking out for no reason?
“I’ll be fine.”
Medic goes back to meditating.
"Really? It seems like our purpose here is to try and find out who
started this blasted virus. Think about it; it couldn't have just
popped out of thin air one day. There's someone behind this and we
need to find out who before we're run over by it. We're lucky
enough to survive this far."
"I suppose. I just... I don't want to have to live like this
anymore, raiding dumpsters for food, staying on constant guard,
being wary of every stranger. I wish we could live just one
day different, normal."
Life isn't normal for us. Life will never be normal. We've
lost way more to this virus than to anything else. All the more
reason to find out the cause. We may have a chance to live
life...normally...
"Yeah. This has been my whole life, but it's so... intense. I
hatched alone, I stayed alone for a while, no one was there to help
me. No one showed me how life works, I had to figure that out
myself. As rewarding as it is, it gets to you, the fact that so
many people grow up learning in safety, but you're in constant
danger with no one to teach you."
"All of us are like that. I hatched alone too. Grew up alone. I
found my path in life. I followed it. Nobody was there to teach me
too. But I guess...we've come this far, no need to turn back,
right? This is the normal now. We just have to accept it and learn
to live with it. No use in griping about what we don't have when
there's so much we could have, just a paws length away..."
