@Prince of Seraphs Using "magic" as justification for miracle fixes is in poor taste if there's not a good reason. =P The idea here is that, for some reason, magic isn't a suitable option, or is perhaps ineffective. Maybe because the healer mages are treating the symptoms instead of the actual illness? *shrugs*

Besides, I'm pretty sure Panther meant IRL. *shoves Prince*

EDIT: Oh, and getting someone sick by magic is silly, unless it's an attack of some sort. In which case it's less disease and more either poisoning or germ warfare -- and I really don't think fey have ventured into germ warfare much.


I'm not saying that you just drop the word "magic" as a cure all but in many cases there is no reason why specially medically oriented spellcasters couldn't treat diseases.

Also if we're looking for a fae disease that transitioned into the human world how about European Sweating Sickness? Appeared almost overnight, killed something like a third of the European population and vanished just as quickly.
@shylarah
Well....this would be horrible and with how it's dealt with id say probably don't use it but there is the lovely subject of prions
Prions are basically defective proteins that when they 'hit' a normal protein they change it to a prion and create chains. These chains basically destroy the brain....it's what causes mad cow
There is no species barrier
There is no vaccine
Nothing can get rid of it


Magic.
@shylarah
Tetanus is not just rust it's also on plants
But in this case it would not work since the realm is not a human one

Tetanus is a very fascinating disease...one of the best section in microbiology
Lockjaw...can have the subject with muscle spasms so bad they snap their own spine

Anyway. For her to get a disease she would need to some into contact with someone from the human realm who is either a carrier or is sick

Or she somehow manages to wander into the human realm to contract an illness and have it incubate until she gets back then have it become fully into the illness stage
This would probably be bad for the fae realm either way


I can't imagine that there is absolutely no crossover of viruses or illnesses between the two realms or that the fae wouldn't have antibodies to the majority of human illnesses. They have after all both magic, a very long lifespan in which to develop immunities and enough contact with the human realms for such things to happen.

Assuming of course that fae biology is in anyway effected adversely by human viruses.
At the very least it would open up all sorts of possibilities. I wonder if tetanus can be contracted by other means than just rusty things...Well hm. It seems that rust itself is not the source of it, even though there's a strong association. So more than one reason not to use it. But I should find something that'd need very definitely human methods of a cure....


Like magic?
@BlackPanther Ohhohoho.... Falk will have fun with this Courting.

No, but seriously Falk's going to play everyone like a sweetly tuned violin if someone doesn't stop him!


Nyx shoots him with an RPG. Ah, mortal weapons.
@LadyRunic Being brought by Falk would be after the end of the Moot, though. And alright. I know that Nyx actually closed Spring's borders, at least for now, though doubtless there's stuff in place to open them with a close guard, if the Moot goes too long.


I reread Nyx's instructions and I can see where you might draw that conclusion. What I meant though was that security was to be increased greatly. There are a number of legal reasons for a fae of a different court to be in Spring. Certain bounty hunters might have licenses. Some traveling merchants and of course the rare people like Raven who can move free. These people would still be allowed through. Nyx wanted to make it clear to Wild fae and others seeking to cross the border that just cause he was gone did not mean that it would be easier to slip past the border guard. Essentially he ordered security tripled at fae customs.
hye guys. I'm going to suggest we hold up for Black Panther with the Moot, but there is no reason for the rest to keep posting.


So no one should post till Black Panther Comes back?
@Prince of Seraphs I thought I had to wait to post until Panther was back and could post


For the Moot sure but Panther doesn't have any characters remotely close to where Lyra is right now.
@Belle You think you could post something for Lyra?
I think the only thing Beacon isn't aware of is the more shady parts of Robert's history (i.e. that he stole food, money, etc. to survive). Actually, no one knew about that other than his original team and they're gone now. I don't think he's even told anyone that he's an orphan other than Sand during the team's current mission.


Technically speaking there's no actual proof of what Sapphire went through as a child but with a quick background check it wouldn't be difficult to piece together what he home life was like. A couple of 911 calls, an unusual number of trips to the doctor etc.

I would assume that Ozpin is either aware of her past or at least suspects most of it but chooses to let it alone unless it becomes apart of something that effects more than just Sapphire.
