[It's snowing lightly, the gorillas are frolicking, Marcy might be wearing jumbo-size tentacle mittens--and someone short and irresponsible is headed across camp with a saw.

SO WHAT SHENANIGANS ARE YOU UP TO THIS SATURDAY, CAMP?]

(( feel free to use this for any and all mingling purposes! I'LL BE AROUND ))

[knocking on the door and peeking in]

Hello?

[drfeelgold]

Yeah, nothing about that seems suspicious at all. And he seems like a good friend, to be your first choice to hold your hand in your time of need.

[fuckseptember]

I totally got this alien invasion thing covered.

[drfeelgold]

Good to know. I bet you used to be a boy scout, given how much preparation and forethought you put into this ahead of time.

... or maybe you've just watched the Aliens films enough times, either or.

[fuckseptember]

I've actually seen that in my work, the whole strange animal slowly growing inside a human body. It was disgusting.

[drfeelgold]

Well, so long as it didn't burst out of someone's chest when it was done incubating. And hey, parasites are just following their biological imperative. Some of them can even have beneficial relationship with their hosts, instead of just simply exploiting them.

[fuckseptember]

Uh. One grew in the stomach, eventually killing the host. And that other one incubated its larvae and then they came out of... everywhere...

[drfeelgold]

[ suddenly very serious and contemplative ]

How were the hosts infected? And it sounds like the parasites were more like helminths, rather than protozoan in nature.

[fuckseptember]

One was by biting. The other was... uh... sort of like poison. They drank the virus and it grew inside them. Both were taken care of, so I wouldn't worry.

[drfeelgold]

Huh, that's... interesting. How were they treated?

[fuckseptember]

With the first one we tricked the parasites into believing they were still inside their mother, so they stopped feeding off the host. With the second it was only one parasite per host, so we simply removed them surgically.

[drfeelgold]

And how exactly did you trick them?

[fuckseptember]

Mixing the mother's blood with the host's.

[drfeelgold]

Did the host survive?

[fuckseptember]

Yeah, he did.

[drfeelgold]

Good. Were there any problems with side-effects from the treatment?
