<Snipped quote by Nimda>

We have doctors who swear there is no pathogen of any kind, despite ending up sick themselves. A communicable illness with no pathogen. Sounds like a contradictory existence for some disease, no?

@Armed Forces

For microbial diseases, perhaps.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Shakes my head*
No, not quite. We received message about a world of folks who were struggling with disease, actually. They couldn't solve their problem on their own, so they reached out, offering anything in exchange for saving them.
*Leans forward with my elbows on the counter*
It's no mere disease, but we have no idea what it is.

@Armed Forces

*Downs the shot in one clean motion*
No mere disease? What brought you to that conclusion?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

If battle were my conundrum, we'd have the problem well in hand.

@Armed Forces

Internal strife?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

And I wish it were under more casual circumstances.
*Takes a seat in a stool next to you*

@Armed Forces

Forever at war, eh?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Glances around every other face at the bar before stepping directly to you, nodding to the bartender before speaking to you*
Colgate.

@Armed Forces

*Tips my glass upward*
An IA general graces me with his presence.

Myriad Reality

*Ducks into the Tavern through one of its entryways and takes a very investigative look around*

@Armed Forces

*Sits at the counter, shot glass in hand and chatting up the bartender*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Looks up to the sky and crosses my arms in anticipation*

@Valiance

*A warlike chant can be heard swiftly approaching the city gates, which open in anticipation; nobody around you seems to pay you any mind*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

I was giving you the benefit of the doubt, that you might be wise given your name. Oh well.

@Valiance

*A handful of people can be overheard discussing a recent death of a young member of the rural town, who was found torn apart by wild animals outside the safety of the walls*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Wrong again.

@Valiance

*The echo of my voice is replaced with the sounds of cheering coming from within the walls of the city*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

A set of values misaligned with what yours may be do not make anyone apathetic. I stand my ground, firmly.

@Valiance

And yet have done nothing to this day.
*The mist begins to solidify, with rudimentary stone city walls coming into focus*
