Against all odds Jupiter had so far managed to avoid infection. Perhaps unanticipated by most (and maybe this was his saving grace) he'd more or less quarantined himself at the start of the outbreak. Even he had to admit that was unusual for him. Normally he wouldn't have given a fuck and gone about his business, but those mushrooms synced to his heartbeat had really done his head in. It was really fucking alarming, okay? Any sane person would have taken one look and noped the fuck away from civilization, which is exactly what he had done. He was holed up in a secluded part of the Orchard called Nanaden Bramble most of the time. He'd come out this once to hunt because the only thing that seemed to fill the Bramble was berry bushes and thorns.

Jupiter was on his way back to his hideout with a rabbit hanging from his jaws. His gaze was furtive as he searched for signs of the infected ones. If he had to he would run - literally run - from the bastards. No one was infecting him, nope. He felt no shame over it either. It was more important not to die of crystals or mushrooms than it was to hold onto his dignity.

NOTE: this character is pretty on the outside but nothing but ugliness and innuendo on the inside. It's best to consider all threads with him rated 'M' regardless of the official tags.

Many of the plants he'd typically gather were late in arriving. No surprise with the lack of sunlight. So Álarr returned to Fireside with only a small satchel of white willow bark. It was enough of a haul for now, at least the bark could be used for pain relief. Álarr was clearly doing better. Most of the mushrooms had fallen from his body, apart from those growing out of his left ear, and where the mushrooms had once been were glowing green scabs.

He spied Jupiter wandering along with a rabbit and decided to walk over. From a distance it seemed like the blue man was doing well. "Jupiter! You're looking well. No issues with the ooze I trust."

Normally Jupiter would have been happy to stop and talk to his uncle but these weren't normal times. Last time he'd spied Alarr from across the way the younger man had been riddled with mushrooms, so this time when his uncle's voice reached his ears Jupiter stiffened. He turned around slowly, his movements furtive, and yep, as he'd feared, Alarr was still a fungus factory...albeit a less productive one.

Jupiter's eyes were immediately drawn to the fungi growing out if Alarr's ear and even though he tried not to stare his gaze kept getting drug back up to the patch. Honestly were it not for their shared history he'd have just run for the hills, but this was Alarr so Jupiter was going to be civil up until Alarr tried to touch him or something. Then he'd run. "Nah, I've been lucky so far minus that little heartbeat/mushroom incident." Those little guys definitely weren't propped up in his hideout, or anything... "What about you? Looks like you're doing better."

Álarr shifted his pack. At least it was no longer rubbing against any mushroom patches though he still had a few sore areas. "Glad to hear it. I wasn't so fortunate but I'm finally making a recovery." He was still a bit weak but hoped in time to regain his full strength with some training and discipline. A fairly quiet and reserved soul he wasn't always the best at conversation but he'd been fairly isolated with his illness and opted to do his best to make up for lost time. "How's Alfrún doing?" He planned to check in on her shortly though he still hadn't the faintest idea how to deal with infectious crystals unless he could figure out what organism was responsible for them. At least he hoped it was an organism.

"That's a relief," Jupiter said. It seemed he couldn't go far without running over the corpse of some Ooze-killed creature so it was good to know infected creatures could recover. "You're looking well minus the uh-" was it rude to mention the afflictions? Too late now... "-that one there." He pointed to his own ear; mirroring Alarr's last patch.

Oh, Alfrun? You mean that woman he was avoiding close contact with more than usual? She was...she was...he had no idea how she was doing today, honestly. Maybe he should fix that. Naturally he lied. "About the same, sadly. She's uh," he let his voice drop, "of poor health on the best of days." Unsure of how to continue Jupiter let that hang in the air before adding, "But you've found a cure, yeah? So that's good..."
