BREAKING NEWS FROM FISTBUMP THE SKY
VICTIMS: 15 000
CURED: 5
Date: 15th day of Milk Planet
The Eleroom pandemic has now spread to fifteen thousand creatures.
The victims were of different ages and came from all areas except the uninhabited Phrenezia and the isolated Pendla. Research has thus far been overseen by Baal’s Head of Healing, Dr Shroom. Starting next week, researchers from all areas will unite for a cure. This includes the Pendlan Shamans and scientists from Interstellar.
An investigation has examined the Laika territory. It was discovered that an unidentified package had brought the disease into the area. The parties involved have not yet been identified. The search is now nationwide since no Laikan merchant has ever smuggled diseases before.
The disease appears to mimic Eleroom syndrome from five hundred years ago, showing the same lack of fatalities. Symptoms include developing an elephant trunk or a mushroom on the head. After this, the infected will turn into an Eleroom within three days. Thus far, the disease has favoured those with a short temper or high energy levels.
Researchers have made progress in designing a cure and have tested it successfully on five creatures. The medical staff are currently observing the patients while they are in quarantine. If this is the same Eleroom disease as before, patients will have to take their daily doses until their next rebirth.
We urge all creatures with information about the unknown parcel to notify the authorities. Also, please keep an eye on friends and family who might have a short temper or high energy levels. It is imperative that we stay strong and do not act hastily without proof. Creatures guilty of attacking Laikans or Pendlans will be punished severely by being banished to the cake crust for the appropriate amount of time.
May the gods be with you.
I think the trunk and mushroom head complement each other nicely. Maybe Eleroom Syndrome isn't so bad. Great post.
Superb slice of narrative to end the day. The art is stunning as well 🧐
