A Plague on Both Your Houses

[fightingofthespirit]

Who: Klarth F. Lester, Celena Vantari, Korra, Georik Zaberisk, potentially Garviel, anyone else from Rome
What: Let's cure us a plague
Where: Rome, the University
Warnings: None

The clock is ticking.  Even with Georik's suggestions, more and more fall to the plague daily.  A group of great potential has been gathered in Rome, courtesy of one dictator with the penchant of kidnapping anyone who so much as mentioned the word 'plague' over the crystal network.  Having worked steadily for the last several weeks, they may be close to a breakthrough...

((You may post!  No posting order needed!  Just respond whenever you want.

You are also welcome to start your own threads for one-on-one RP about anything else related to the plague - experiments your character might have done prior to the main discussion that you'd like to thread, fieldwork with patients, or just relaxing and talking with other researchers, etc.  Whatever you feel like posting, go for it!

At this point, I believe it is safe to say that the plague will be cured through a combination of Klarth's incantation of earth mana in combination with Korra's waterbending, Celena's amplification device/reading of the incantation itself, and Georik/anyone else's follow-up treatment.  We have permission from the mods to carry this out, although we will need to go from kingdom to kingdom to cast the spell.))

MAIN DISCUSSION

[fightingofthespirit]

Fifteen minutes earlier, a crazed and delusional half-clothed Professor Lester (well no he was fully clothed just missing his hat which, as any true summoner knows, is practically going naked) had run down the halls screaming about an emergency meeting in the main dining area.

When everyone has gathered, they will be privy to a tale of epic adventure. Klarth stands in front of the group and begins to pace.

"The hour is late. Three past midnight. Having gone without food or sleep for the past 54 hours, the great professor wonders if perhaps, he was overexerting himself. How could a single man alone hope to conquer a disease that had felled hundreds? How could a single man alone dare to snatch at the workings of the universe it self and bend them to his will?"

A thrusting forth of the palm.

"But lo! Never should he have doubted himself so! Ladies and gentlemen... I present to you, the finest work of the famous scholar, Professor Klarth F. Lester!"

An absurdly large book is thrown to the ground.

"The incantation to cure the plague, all one hundred sixty eight thousand words of it in basic Dagarian, rune-script, and just for good measure, the language of the Summon Spirits."

"Haha! Whoops. I forgot to bring it up, we actually don't have our own language. I made up all of those symbols off the top of my head."

"............"

Klarth inhales. "Now, there are still quite a few problems yet to be resolved, but I do believe this is a groundbreaking first step. Ms. Vantari, Korra, Dr. Zaberisk... How does your work progress?"

"The remedies I've listed is being spread by the Church and every official. It will indeed slow down the fatalities." Georik responds as he settles down in a chair, arms folded across his chest. "My own research has not come up with a natural cure... though I do have a theory for something to prevent illness later, but that is beyond the scope of this meeting."

"Quite the achievement," she dipped her head and let her gaze linger on the absurdly large book before she pushed off the wall from which she had been leaning, "Preliminary tests have proved promising, I would have to run a number of small scale tests with the spell itself but should results perform to expectation at this point a single activation will be able to effect an entire province at the least with sufficient power, if not a Kingdom,"

Turning to Georik she dipped her head, "Your remedies have assisted greatly in further research by my team, I believe with the additional carrier spell attached to the main that Alhanna and her team have developed should greatly inhibit the spread of infection while patients are healing, follow up treatment will still be required but at least there shall be less risk of transmission during that time,"

"Perfect."

Klarth seems to have recovered from his bout of mania. He picks the tome back up as if nothing had ever happened. "Despite this development, please do continue to search for more remedies along those lines, Dr. Zaberisk. Apart from continued treatment after the cure, I know enough about medicine to know that they'll find use for more than just the plague.

"Ms. Vantari, you're welcome to take the spell off my hands at this point. As Gnome has made it abundantly clear, theory is as far as I can take my research. I'd like to be present during your testing, of course."

"It would be my pleasure to Professor, I shall get to work learning the spell as soon we are done here," Indeed, she was eager to delve into a new work, a new challenge. Stepping over to him to retrieve the book in question.

"Of course, anyone shall be welcome to observe the testing and integration should they wish, yourself especially Professor," Having retrieved the hefty book she moved back to where she had been standing to allow others to provide their input.
