* It's the biggest hold nearby by a good stretch. Bigger than the next three closest holds combined (but they're shit-holes, so). | * It's the biggest hold nearby by a good stretch. Bigger than the next three closest holds combined (but they're shit-holes, so). | ||

* Personhood can afford to be bigger because there's water underground you get from wells. Not so much to be wasteful with it, and it tastes like dirt, but you can drink it without getting messed up and use it on crops without half of 'em dying…unlike the stuff that rains down. Not that there's enough rain anyway. | * Personhood can afford to be bigger because there's water underground you get from wells.

− | + | The hold's split between [[Personhood Tales: Maomao|Maomao]] and [[Personhood Tales: Been|Been]]. It hasn't turned violent yet, but everyone's waiting for the other shoe to drop. Right now, if anyone's liable to end up hurt 'cause of the split, it's neutrals. | |

− | *: '''Lee:''' | + | *: '''Lee:''' Everyone knows what happened to Mr. Final: he went mad, like a dog in the street, and had to be put down. I'm one of the few who knows why it happened, though. He had his own [[Personhood Tales: Skyblood|skyblood]] still, like the one [[Personhood Tales: Jute|Jute]] has hidden away to make the stuff she sells, and it broke, and I couldn't fix it fast enough. He drank the bad skyblood anyway and his spirit got lost in the holes in the sky. |

What's the worst illness you've seen here?'' | * ''The bad thing about the hold being so big is that when some sick hits, it hits hard, and it hits wide.

*: '''Always:''' Scabs. Everyone thought it was just red flakes at first. Itching, a bit of wheezing, and maybe a little feeling hot under the collar and needing some extra sleep. Then Joe's Girl lost her left arm because the skin turned to scab and the sloughed off, pulling meat with it. It was like people getting poked from the inside out, scabbing over beneath their skin until it pushed up and out and just tore them up. There are still scarred survivors around. Most probably wished they'd just drank rainwater till they went out delirious, and some did that even after they survived rather than wait for rot to set in on those ruined limbs. | *: '''Always:''' Scabs.
