[SWE] break the mirage

With the rains of Flowerbirth gone, LongHeat is traditionally a time of light throughout Caido. But all is not well, as the clouds clear and the sun shines. Temperatures are rising, not only in the atmosphere… and it’s about to reach fever pitch.

The following characters will find themselves feeling very under the weather this season:

@samuel
@hotaru
@deimos
@mara
@loren
@oliver
@amalia
@phoebe
@bastien
@wessex
@finn
@sunjata
@neron
@remi
@amun
@nate

Your symptoms include the following:

A high fever
Audiovisual hallucinations
Delirium
Extreme thirst (for Ascended, yes, it means that kind of thirst)
An urge to seek out heat and fire, even if this is detrimental to you
A sensitivity and dislike to water

A caveat for those who have been here for some time! This is not like the Blight plot. This is a mystery to solve. It can be cured, and we expect you to do it lmao.

Whilst the illness will not kill your characters (unless you want it to), please feel free to play it IC as seriously as you would like. What we will say is that your character’s END stat will determine how quickly they bounce back from this once cured, so if it’s on the lower scale, expect to walk away with some lingering effects.
