QuestionText:	It's mentioned that the words appearing on people's bodies may continue through the event, and that they also appear on locals. <br><br>Are there any NPCs for characters to find that have secrets/words related to the tree-zombie-monster itself or relating to Patho-Gen? and if so, would it be possible to get information out of them? If so, what could they find out? <br>(Louis here would be offering to help listen to them if it could alleviate the painful symptoms of words/rash, not like extracting information via threat or anything. But I'm guessing others might want the answer if they made an NPC answer under duress.)<br><br>If not, would characters be able to identify them/where they live/ what building they're going into?

AnswerText:	The average citizen would be unlikely to have anything particularly plot relevant on their faces, with their problems being more personal, embarrassing, or otherwise traumatic. Even the average Patho-Gen employee has their own personal life, things that mean everything to them, but little to anyone else. <br><br>So there would be little on them that would be <i>explicitly</i> tied to the tree's existence, or to Patho-Gen. But there are a few cases where the topics weighing on them are related. The words themselves might seem vague, though: <b>'Kelesis', 'Underground', 'Starvation'</b>. The oddest one is <b>'Anabasis'</b>.<br><br>They would be unwilling to talk about it, however- either bluntly refusing, or with more guilt and distress, saying that they really <i>can't</i> talk about it. It's either too sensitive a subject to share with a stranger (no matter how kindly), or something they'd risk losing their job over. Even if it means making their injuries worse, they have to stay quiet.<br><br>NPCs probably wouldn't have their address written on their face, so there'd be no automatic way of knowing where anyone lived without asking (or following them home, or otherwise stalking them).
