what if after 2 - 3 weeks of closed gateway everyone starts f**king melting and any of them might melt together to create a fleshy abomination which holds at least two consciousnesses and melted-together bodies
this is a horrible idea and all but the flesh mounds would just die after X (number of OCs who have melted into the same flesh mound) times 1 hours
it’s like
>eww flesh mound
>flesh mound dies
>gateway reopens
>they’re all alive and separate again
>peel off a cube of someone else’s flesh and hand it to them
>they can just glue it back in place
I feel like Artist would only be agressive from the constant pain, and not from the "virus", and couldn't speak aside from muffled noises as the box would have fused to his head
