Truffula Flu Journal

Entry # 3

Day 5. I was able to find a key card badge, though only by digging through discarded remains in the parts of the hospital still accessible. Probably the least pleasant experience I've had to date.

Luckily that means I now have access to parts of the hospital that were previously locked. Thankfully enough of the electrical in the building still works to open doors.

I was able to find a locked storeroom, and now have a good number of useable supplies at my disposal. Hopefully they will last. Next mission: food

"It's a fungal infection that spreads through spores and other infected. I don't know much about how it started."

Med-ler paused. How did he not know that?

"How far away have you come? Do you have a way to get back home?"

GS was excited to see where he would be going next, to visit another '-Ler' perhaps? He looked at the universes that were options, which was all of them, but he liked to little it down to a smaller pool of options. He read the names until he read one. “Truffula Flu..?” GS read quietly; confused on what that was. He quickly got the portal set up to take him there, and packed up a few things, and decided to get a neat change of outfit, just to make a good impression on whatever universe this would be. He jumped in, and immediately noticed something off, a loud ringing sound could be heard as he jumped into the portal. Universe traveling was always a bit odd, but never like this.

He landed in a desolate landscape, that seemed to have been a Truffula forest at some point. GS looked around, and checked the status of the portal, just to see what could've been the cause of that noise. It was broken. He was stuck in this nowhere place with no way back home. Now what?

He started to walk around, because what else was he supposed to do; stand around and die?

Med-ler thought about it for a minute. They could go to the old folks home, though there was no guarantee it would be any better. Besides, the mall did sound way more fun!

"I wouldn't mind making a trip to the mall." Med-ler said. Though then she let out a soft sigh.

She almost felt guilty about going to do something fun when the end of the world was here. But....mental health was just as important as physical health.

Med-ler sighed, sitting in a circle around the ruins of her old clinic. She had hoped to find some supplies that had survived the pillaging, but no such luck so far.

"I think you're right, there nothing here," she said to Sora. She sighed again. "Do you have any other ideas?"

Sora lazily kicked a nearby stone, watching it roll and flip over pieces of broken glass and rubble.

“Well, there’s an old folks home nearby. We could look for food around there?” He offered with a shrug.

“Or! There’s a mall a little ways from there. A few games in the arcade there still work we could go play? do something fun…could use some fun in this hell.”

[plague-doctor-medler]

Med-ler stared at the stranger.

"You're stuck here? This is a bad place to get stuck. Infected are everywhere."

How had he managed to get so lost to be at in the middle of the wasteland?

Med-ler smiled at his enthusiasm. It's nice that one of them could manage it.

"That sounds great. I was just raiding my old clinic, though I don't know what we'll manage to find."

Her clinic had been abandoned since almost the start of everything. It was too dangerous to stay in a place that out in the open. She wasn't sure what was left of value, but she had to look.

[Med-ler had seen the strange boy before. The one who called himself Sora-ler. He had come to the clinic once or twice needing basic supplies; antibiotics, supplements, first aid kits. For being so young he was very accident prone.]

[She hadn't seen him since the beginning of the outbreak. She didn't like to assume the worst, but it was hard not to given the circumstances. So when she saw him again for the first time crossing through the mostly uninhabited town of Thneedville, she ducked out of her safe place to try to catch his attention.]

"Sora-ler!" [She called out to him, though it was more of a loud whisper. She didn't want to speak any louder than that.]

The mouse ears on top of the teens head twitched and he turned towards the familiar voice.

The boy looked somewhat different from the last time she saw him. His hair was longer, sticking up in multiple directions. He seemed thinner, paler. Bags clung to his eyes and his eyes themselves seemed void of life.

He looked like her, key slung over his shoulder.

“Doctor?” He whispered back in response, quietly walking over to her.

“Y-you. What are you doing here? Are you okay?”

[plague-doctor-medler]

Med-ler felt sympathetic for the kid. Losing people is hard. Feeling guilt over it is worse.

"It's okay not to be okay, you know." She told him coming a few steps closer. Normally this is where she would offer a hug or something, but she wasn't sure that would be welcome.

"As for me, I've been wandering from camp to camp for whoever needs a doctor. Honestly I haven't been much help, though."

She sighed, but smiled a little ruefully.

"I could use the help collecting supplies if you don't have anything better to do."

[plague-doctor-medler]

The poor boy looked in even worse shape than the last time she had seen him. Not that that was a surprise, the world was ending after all.

She shrugged helplessly at his question. "I'm as okay as any of us can be. I was just getting some supplies."

She gave him a concerned look. "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with your friends?"

I have another commission piece to share with everyone! This is one of plague doctor Med-ler (sans plague mask) from thebunnythebear, who did an amazing job!

[plague-doctor-medler]

Med-ler lowered her weapon. At least for now. The guy looks pretty anxious. Maybe he was lost? This wasn't a good place to get lost in.

She didn't remove her mask, though. At least not yet. Not while still outdoors.

"I'm Med-ler." She said instead. "What are you doing way out here?"

Med-ler was out trying to locate a new safe place. Her old clinic had been completely compromised. The windows were all smashed in, and it had been thoroughly raided. Thankfully it had happened while she had been out gathering supplies. But now it left her with no safe place to live. And very little to her name.

Wearing her customized air respirator plague mask, and carrying her metal pole, she hoped she wouldn't actually have to rely on it. Then she saw something strange.

A bright light flashed across the wasteland that used to be the truffula forest. Followed by the most horrid noise she had ever heard. Weird.

Curious, but still cautious, she followed it to its source and saw...an unusually dresses man(?) Not wanting to startle him too much, but wanting to still stay safe, she held her pole at the ready.

"Hello?" She called out, and hoped he wasn't dangerous.

Truffula Flu Journal

Entry # 2

Day 3. I have fashioned a respirator mask inside the plague doctor mask I had on display at the clinic. Hopefully wearing it will make the infected (or anyone else who might be a danger to me) second-guess considering me as a target.

Either way, wearing the mask should help keep me from catching the disease before it spreads. And hey, the aesthetic seems to match, since we're living in a modern day apocalypse.

All of this is in preparation for my trek to the abandoned hospital that I still have planned. I haven't found my badge yet, but I might still be lucky enough to find one abandoned on the premises. Either that or I'll have to find a way to break in....

Truffula Flu Journal Entry

Date: ??? (Real Date Unknown, Approx 1 yr s/p Init Outbreak)

Day 1.

It's been roughly one year since the outbreak happened. They call it the 'Truffula Flu', and it seemed very much like a flu, at first. People had mild to moderate cold and flu symptoms. Nothing I hadn't seen before. But...they didn't get better. And it turned out not to be a flu at all?

I haven't honestly heard much about what it is or how it happened. This journal is my own personal documentation. I'm not sure how much longer any of us will survive. All I know is that it's been a year, civilization has crumbled, and I'm out of medical supplies. I need to get to the abandoned hospital, but it isn't exactly safe....Damn, where did I leave my key card?
