argentum rot entry #1

Instructions

Entry 1. It's been two years since this hell started, to our knowledge not one uncorrupted soul remains other than me, Max, and Ella. Although we are starting to worry about Ella, she has been ill and it might be a warning sign to corruption. But before I get too ahead of myself, let's discuss corruption. Stage one. Symptoms: headache, coughing fits, dull eyes that seem a little…off. Stage two. Symptoms: headache is now just crippling pain, coughing stops in its place silver mucus dripping from nose and mouth, eyes seem to have a thin glaze over them. Stage three -last stage of consciousness. Symptoms: headache suddenly stops, cannibalistic urges start, minor self cannibalism, silver mucus more prominent, eyes worsen, wailing starts. Stage four -complete take over. Symptoms: loud wails, eyes turn completely white and shiny, their blood is now silver, cannibalistic urges worsen, self cannibalism worsens, the corruption has fully taken over the corrupted mind and body. Stage five. -morphing. Symptoms: aggression, white eyes take on a silver gleam, screams for help, they are mindless cannibals looking to trap their victims. Limbs grow unnaturally, constantly vomiting silver liquid, extremely nimble. This is all I've gathered so far about corruption. Now, more about my group and how we all met. I was the last member, Ellie and Max knew each other before all of this, although they seem to have adopted me as the leader of the group. Ellie was one of our greatest assets before she became sick. She's smart, and made an entire scrapbook identifying edible plants and animals for my reference when I go out to scavenge for us. Max is our tank, she is strong and knows how to wield most weapons although she's not the best with knives, those are my specialty anyways. Ellie carries a bow and is a sharpshooter, she does most of the chores keeping our small shelter clean. We’re hoping this is just a cold or the flu and she gets better soon. I've been trying to take her place but it's a lot for me to be the one scavenging and cleaning plus cooking. If she's corrupted I don't know what Max and I will do. Ellie isn't telling us if she had contact with any corrupted before she got sick. She's quarantined in a back room of the shelter. We bring her food and water daily. I have to go scavenge now. I'll check in tomorrow.
