Pluto's Plague: Psychics, Mages, Summoners, Oh My [Episode 120004]

by Kestral

One of the nurses had a Talent, but also a plaguescar (one of several early names for a mark or disfigurement left during the plague). Her right arm and hand looked to be covered in an odd green 'tattoo' that resembled a coiled serpent. People who knew a bit about snakes identified it as an elaphe obsoleta, North American Black Snake despite the color being off.
