Just your friendly neighborhood Lich King
Its that time of year, Exsilium.
ITS THE FEAST WINTER VEIL
Which is really just Christmas in Warcraft shh.
It also means its PLOT TIME YAY.
So here's the scoop, ladies and gents. On Tuesday, December 11th, an inconspicuous pen will appear in the center of initiate hold, housing all types of adorable little woodland critters (rabbits, squirrels, sparrows, etc) with a sign posted that they are to be adopted and cared for by transports. They're all motherfucking adorable and disturbingly well behaved -- obviously used to awkward interactions. They don't even shy away from you undead types.
Sadly, its not meant to be. On the eve of December 13th, each critter will simultaneously begin to succumb to a strange disease. It will start with lethargy in the early afternoon, passing onward to refusing food and irritation (will will result in biting this is important for the next part) and finally will end in death.
What a nice Winter Veil gift. 3 days just long enough for people to get attached to them.
Within 5 minutes of dying, each creature will resurrect into a flesh-hungry undead creature. They will flee from all hostile movement and will attract hordes of undead that Arthas has been raising and stockpiling since his arrival. Good on you, Exsilium, for dragging the Lord of the Undead on top of a battlefield full of bodies, eh?
That log will go up Friday, December 14th.
Now, if you opt to be bitten by your furry little friend, CONGRATULATIONS. You have now contracted the plague of undeath and will succumb to the same fate as your companion if you are not cured by some form of holy magic within 24 hours time. Undeath takes different forms for every species, so have fun with that if that's something you want to do. If you would like general guidelines, please note that your character will be shifting into a form of lesser undead.
Your character will remain this way until killed by another, at which point they will go through the normal resurrection process outlined by the game rules.
There will also be a minor hostage situation as Arthas will be locking down Jaina Proudmoore to prevent her from spilling the beans early.
I will put a general mingle log up on tuesday for people to use to pick up the animals and another on friday for when they all turn and start attacking people.
QUESTIONS? Ask below. B) Feel free to plot fight groups and such amongst yourselves in the comments below as well. I'm not going to organize a formal march on Arthas as he won't be present for most of the attack inside of Initiate Hold, but if someone else wants to head that, I will happily oblige.

What that means for you is that your character will:
- Lose most/all sense of self
- Gain an insatiable hunger for flesh and blood
- Be compelled to obey Arthas' commands
- Probably be very ugly for the duration of their unlife

Re: QUESTIONS?
...Also, let's say that, I don't know, a demon who normally is hurt by holy water gets infected with this disease. If the magic required is used on him, would that be...similar enough to holy water to uh...actually kill him? Or is it different than that?
I'm considering all of my options for this plot and I haven't played WOW so uh, yeah.
/too lazy to switch journals.
As far as curing a demon/undead with holy magic, that's up to the players. I know in Warcraft canon, undead can be healed with holy magic, though it causes them great pain in the process. Have fun with it. :)
Re: /too lazy to switch journals.
/can't be bothered to use the relevant account
Does this mean Rinoa can try to hurt things only to find out that she's fixing them? Because that'd actually be kind of funny.
Sadly she doesn't have access to holy right now so no massive strikes of holy damage from her, but someday maybe.
