From P. 375, where Reynir is nervously asking Mikkel whether being close to Rash-contaminated clothing would actually make his skin fall off and he'd die. Mikkel says....
Well, our imaginative Minnions came up with
some possible answers:AmityMMikkel weighs his options:
- "I guess we'll find out together, won't we?"
- "Oh wait, you said
not immune?"
- "Let's try to be optimistic -- maybe you are an outlier."
- "The way I look at it, 99.99% fatality isn't technically a guarantee."
- "Rash illness? I don't actually believe in any of that."
- "Actually, I'm completely convinced that you are already infected."
- "Oh no, you won't die."
This is a tough one...
corncobman "Don't tell me you have face-cancer too?"
"The cold kills the infection, but I think you're infected. The only way to kill it now is to stay outside overnight...."
"What's this infection thing everyone keeps talking about?"
"You won't die. You'll turn into a horrific creature with arms coming out of your skull and your mind will be so far gone you might as well be dead, but you won't die."
JoB "Well, yes, that's exactly what would happen to you [if these clothes were in fact still contagious]."
"I carefully mapped this vehicle's ventilation. Where you sit now, you're not downwind of the washing in any of the air currents. Better ask first when you need to move, though."
"I'm a medic, you know. A professional. I have a stapler and plenty of clamps for it, I will get your skin back on."
"Ah yes, safe distances. You had yours until the ship veered towards Amager ..."
"Don't worry too much about it. Usually the patient is in too much pain to worry about those details."
"I don't see the problem. Roasts need to be skinned anyway, right?"
Ceceoh "Your mother was a very wise woman."
"Oh, she was just trying not to scare you. Doesn't matter how far away you stand from bloody clothes."
"She was right! Quick, jump into this tub!" (Eh, that last one may not be subtle enough for Mikkel.)
Kiraly "No, no, that won't happen.
First you'll turn into a monster,
then your skin will fall off and you'll die."
