I guess it doesn't really matter for the moment, but I'm wondering three things: 1) is it painful to be infected? 2) can the infection be stopped once it's taken hold of a victim? I.E with heat or in a sterile environment? and 3) are the characters in this RP inside one of these militantly-run cities, trying to escape, or are they outside the community walls trying to survive? Are both allowed, and will they all meet up at some point?
