This morning, our intrepid villagers awoke to a surprise of the nicer kind: A bundle of clothing left at the foot of their bed, tied with a bow. There is also a note: Put on your new outfit and join the festivities in the corn field next to the inn.

You may be thinking, what corn field next to the inn? The one that sprung up fully-mature overnight, of course.

In the middle of the field, villagers will find an autumn feast: Tables piled with harvest time food and drink, warm and rustic decorations, the day's sunshine fending off any chill in the air.

Tuck in and enjoy, villagers, but take note: Things often look different in the dark, and you might be one of them.

Dorian's expression is playful as he shakes his head, slight smile curling his lips as he chuckles. "You really ought to try harder for impression, or at least embroider the truth a bit."

That being said. "How does one approach a 'lycanthropy outbreak' though?"

"The usual epidemic containment protocol- identify patient zero and other infected, quarantine them when they're most likely to spread the virus, and provide the vaccine to anyone who does get exposed. The vaccine's kind of worse than the bite," he answers, lifting up the sleeve of his shirt to show off the scar of what looks like a rather gruesome mauling.

"Better than the alternative after that, though. The virus is a hundred percent fatal. Imagine physical transformation without magic, and what that does to a non-therianthropic lifeform."

Discussing terrible viruses over appetizers. Yep. This is why Alex doesn't get invited to parties.

"I'm not familiar with that term, 'vaccine', but given context, I assume this is some sort of...preventative?" He looks impressed as he takes a sip from his drink. "I didn't realize lycanthropic transferal could be prevented. That's useful."

He nodded. While he'd never actually encountered a werewolf, they certainly weren't unheard of, and several books had been written on the topic.

"I can imagine being 'put out of one's misery' would be a sufficient descriptor."
