*Well, it’s official. I’m making Void Warpers an open species, so now everyone can infect their favorite muses with Carrot Pox!

But first I must explain Void Warpers and Carrot Pox. Void Warpers are small, teleporting, cloudlike creatures. Unfortunately, they are unaware that they carry Carrot Pox in their bodies, and their tendency to engulf other living beings has caused many infections. As per an idea from @kitterahsdollhouse, for those who want a cloud pet without the Carrot Pox, Doctor Nutmeg Jingletooth has developed a way to “clean” Warpers without harming them. However, they still retain their wild nature and must be trained.

Okay, but what is Carrot Pox? Carrot Pox is a disease that originated from a planned cartoon series of mine, carried mainly by Void Warpers. Symptoms of Carrot Pox include:

-Bright orange spots on the skin(hence the name)

-Strange, sometimes scary hallucinations, which often results in the infected avoiding or outright fearing their favorite things

-Odd speech; the infected will begin to say things that do not make sense

Anything with a physical form can contract Carrot Pox, and a person can contract Carrot Pox multiple times, but only after immediate contact with an infected Warper or another infected person. Now that a cure has been developed, symptoms last for 3-7 days(the length of each particular infection is decided by the mun). A dust mask is recommended if you must make contact with an infected person.

I decided to make this a thing because I wanted to see how other people could interpret it. What do you guys think?*

(I think this is a really interesting idea and can set the group up for a lot of crazy fun. I do have a couple of questions about the disease though.)

1.) Do people who had carrot pox in the past get any sort of permanent marks or do they make a full recovery without any physical changes?

2.) Is treatment painful? Do you take medical baths, pop pills, or is the method use more intimidating tools?

3.) Can it get worse or is the disease usually mild? What’s the worst that can happen if you don’t get yourself fixed up on time?

(Of course I don’t expect medical degree worthy answers, it’s all cartoon based and it’s for fun. Getting too serious takes out the comedy of it all. This is mostly me wondering small things and being curious about Carrot Pox lol)

*Hello Susumu here to answer your questions

1: Carrot Pox doesn’t leave any lasting physical marks after recovery. The hallucinations can be quite jarring, but are quickly forgotten after.

2: The cure for Carrot Pox comes in the form of a purple liquid, which is taken by drinking it. The only problem: It doesn’t taste very good.

3: Carrot Pox doesn’t really have any progression to it. The hallucinations can get pretty scary, but that’s the worst thing that could happen.

Well I hope that answers everything you were wondering about, I know I’m not the best at explaining, but I did my best ^^*
