the infection is a living parasite, that feeds on the bodies of ponies. it mimics plants to fool ponies into being near it
when a pony is close enough, it releases spores which include tiny eggs that thrive in the warmth of a ponies body, hatching in a few weeks.
When infected ponies will exhibit odd behaviour and symptoms.
symptoms are:
- high grade fever (~100°F/~38°C)
- harsh wet cough and pneumonia
- Dry itchy skin
- muscle aches and cramps
- cannibalism
- anxiety and paranoia
*the outbreak has just started. The news is warning the ponies to stay away from infected and that the police are dealing with them. But they’re tearing through all defence and causing every town to go into lockdown.*
*now, your in Twilights house in Ponyville with Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack and Twilight when the lockdown begins.*
Rarity: “That’s odd.. there’s usually never a lockdown…” *she said anxiously while looking out the window.*
