Around Monday, the city government took all the sick people into Quarantine!

The Quarantine would've been announced last weekend, stating everybody sick must go to the town plaza. There, they'd be pick up in ambulances in batches. The satellite branch of the hospital is located in the Woods, at the outskirts of The Forbidden Forest. It's similar to other government buildings in size and regeneration abilities, meaning walls could be destroyed, but it would regenerate immediately after.

The accommodations are fairly comfortable, but some of the designs and furniture are dated, and it's obvious that the facility has never anticipated containing everybody in this scope. Everyone would have to take a roommate or five, preferably family members, friends, people in their age group, or those sick with similar strains. The layout would often be one wooden bed with a mattress, then hospital beds transported from the main Manta Carlos General Hospital branch. There's one bathroom with a shower and one kitchenette in every room.

There's enough things to do. Each room has a TV and a radio. There's a small library at the ground floor, and a waiting room now turned common lounge for everybody to interact in. People are allowed to socialize because everybody is sick with the same virus. There's no danger of infecting people with other strains because the strains comes from mutations inside their bodies, rather than a different type of virus.

Patients are allowed to bring gadgets, books, and other such personal belongings in the Quarantine area, though they wouldn't be allowed to come out to fetch other things once inside. They can have things delivered but the delivery person would not be allowed within the premises. There is no wi-fi signal but phone reception should work fine.

Lastly, all staff are required to put on full-body "moon suits" when going inside. These blue suits are airtight and watertight, resistant to cuts and tears, and have magic portals to an outside air source so the wearer will not suffocate. Visitors are not allowed in the Quarantine area.

UPDATE

The situation has improved for patients in quarantine. The amount of staff at the quarantine hospital has increased greatly, especially with regards to the nursing staff. The extra staff will be able to ensure all those in quarantine have access the best available nonmagical medication to treat the symptoms of their illnesses. This includes pain medications (for each type of pain), cough suppressants, medications for nausea, medications to suppress itching, medications to reduce fever, and even high-quality moisterizers for those with Popsiccus Incendium.

Furthermore, additional security staff have been pulled from the school to help keep the peace. Especially problematic patients may be locked in a highly damage-resistant room and/or given a power-nullifying bracelet to make them more manageable. Individuals may also request these bracelets or have them recommended by nurses, to make clairafloresus symptoms or other personal issues more manageable.

These improvements are due, in part, to the efforts of a visiting infectious diseases doctor named Vasile Vasile. Finding the quarantine hospital somewhat shortstaffed, he pushed for the transfer of additional staff and the acquisition of additional moon suits.

Everyone outside the Quarantine are now hearing gossip about radicals that want to expunge the island of the sickness by blowing up everyone in Quarantine. The government is refusing to comment about evacuation but the police are looking into it.

Quarantine Summary
  • Olivia Goldberg announced the bomb threat formally to the patients.
  • A group of patients came in. The four notable ones: Sandra Foster, Joe Wright, Jean Barnes, Gregory Kelly. Cassandra is with the Caduceus people.
  • Vito Rosales constructs a plan that would get his people out of there. Enlists Cassandra's help. Cassandra agrees, but says she also would like to help get people out. Vito promises gang help once they're out.
  • Cassandra gets rid of the doctors in the office for a small window of time. During that, Vito gets the Rosales and family out of there.
  • Malara provides a sufficient distraction while they're getting out. Security runs over to her to subdue her.
  • While leaving, Klef and James Mortii catch them. Vito invites them into the bus with them. Vito regroups his people into Rosales HQ and drops the two at a bus stop, making them promise they don't spread anything on the internet.
  • Crysta and Tiny raid the currently empty doctor's office.
  • Saeta, Abigale and Felix headed upstairs and walked in on Jean being suspicious with a dead body. When confronted, Jean stabbed Felix with metal spikes from her arms and fled downstairs.
  • Upon reaching the lobby, Jean grabbed Nix and took him hostage, threatening to kill him if she wasn't allowed free.
  • Several people acted quickly, and Jean was apprehended.
  • Zveris and Valentine headed upstairs, with Valentine guarding the door as Zveris spoke with Felix. Felix explained that something had been shoved down the body's throat, and was able to retrieve a bomb.
  • Upon questioning, Jean claimed that if anyone left the building, or if she died, the bombs would detonate. Saeta called for Felix.
  • Zveris shoved the bomb in his coat, escorting it outside and handing it over to the bomb squad in secret. The location of the bomb is unknown to most people.
  • Felix recommended everyone search for more bombs, and multiple people assisted the search with their powers.
  • Desmond offered to interrogate Jean, which everyone agreed upon. He attempted twice before Jean announced that she had a cyanide tooth and would kill herself if he tried again.
  • Zveris removed the tooth with the assistance of Crysta and Causper, at which point Jean fainted and had to be taken to privacy.
  • They returned a short while later, and Desmond hypnotized Jean. She revealed that there were two more bombs (one in the library hidden in a book, one in the floorboards of the kitchen), and that she was working with others online who were anonymous. She was unconnected to the companies, but believed that Blue Cross was somehow connected. She also revealed that she had a monitor, and if she died the bombs would go off. There were also people waiting outside, watching for a large evacuation.
  • Tri headed upstairs, meeting Aswan in the library and searching for the bomb.
  • Felix, Beatrice, Malara, and Parker headed into the kitchen and began tearing up the floorboards looking.
  • Causper used her clairvoyance to locate the watchers.
  • Vasile revealed that the person who made the fake cure was either working with, or the same person as, the person who made the virus originally. Jean said they'd come to the same conclusion, and that they were sure Dr. Holmes was on one of the islets, but that he'd be hard to find.
  • Both bombs were recovered and handed over to Zveris, who handed them to the security team, along with the information about the watchers.
  • Felix used his illusion magic to hide the evacuation as everyone gathered up and left the building, returning to their homes (or hospital, for those who were seriously ill).
Quarantine is now over.​
