Patient Zero Plot

[etcircenses]

[OOC: patients, post a subthread and one of the doctor characters will be with you shortly. Feel free to specify if you want one in particular.]

In a city as monitored as the Capitol, that a mystery disease was going around didn't escape notice for more than a few days. That both Victory Hannibal and Chris Traeger such a production of their 'impending death of the plague' didn't help it stay under wraps, either.

As such, a clinic of sorts has been set up inside the Tribute Center. Tributes, Mentors and anyone else associated with the Games are taken aside at random and given check-ups. Avoxes are given lists of prescriptions to help any sufferers alleviate symptoms, and the doctors and scientists on staff (recruited by Peacekeeping Headquarters right now) are given relatively free reign to take whatever tests they need to find the name of the illness and kill it.

Currently, it is staffed by Penny, Wesker and Zoidberg.

He stays still and stonefaced as her fingers run over his jaw, tries to stay still while both her intentions in swabbing at his mouth succeed. He does gag, and he does cough, and once he's started coughing it's difficult to stop. When she's gotten whatever it was she needed Roland leans over the elbow set on his knee, the back of his hand over his mouth and his jaw clamped shut.

"A misunderstanding," he manages once the coughing begins to slow. It's a, ah... generous description of events. Less 'misunderstanding' and more 'everyone understood very well that Roland had asked a few too many questions'. But if there's one thing he doesn't want to be known as here, it's someone who asks too many questions.
