Without commenting on anything specific, Dorian rolled a 70 on world selection. Whether that's cause for despair (the ongoing zombie apocalypse) or delight (a hospital with blood available) is up to individual readers!

Given that we are in the zombie apocalypse it would be great if our main healing masked could heal Zombie Virus, allowing us to save people who were bitten. Not only that this would be plain useful for obvious reasons, but given the setting we could expect it to generate a great deal of face time in short order.
In same vein, since this wouldn't be a random throwaway but a real power mask, we likely don't want to just have random abilities. While one of the abilities would need to be capable of dealing with the Virus, we want it to be more. On the other hand, we should also be careful about its user becoming too strong, given how famous we could make them, at which point getting the mask back might become awkward.
Or we could put onus on us and have Glass or tinker mask benefit from Face Time fame, and just mass produce Virus healing masks instead. That seems less awkward overall, and everything said and done, unless there's some specific reason to hide our powers we might just as well go for uber farm to get max Facetime.
I mean, I guess we could make healing masks that also had in-built way to make other healing masks? Sounds iffy I guess.

It is a great world(assuming no hidden Moonlight World stuff behind, at least) to start with. We get to stabilize and lack of magic and potential world saving on our end promises decent amount of Facetime.
I am soo down with the antivirus mask. That would be the most good we can do for this world. I wanna call it, The Cure.
Any ideas on thematic materials to make them? Maybe bits of the zombies themselves - and what else?

The Cure - A plaguemask. The beak shaped from purified zombie bones - a hundred slain by your hands. Worked together with leather fashioned from their treated skin. This mask is ritually imprinted with the knowledge of the true cause of infection during creation.
Grants complete immunity to zombification, protecting the wearer and those in close proximity from becoming infected.
With stronger potential, should the mask be placed on a zombie.. they start to revert back to who they once were. Cured. Wearers gains the ability to restore other recently infected as well.
With significantly great potential, work towards resetting the wearer to their ideal self, undoing entropy itself. Or any ontological harm. Immunity to compulsion of all possible form of self and others.

I don't know if dorian even knows what a virus is. They totally could since I imagine super scientists have existed in a world which basically hit its renaissance and someone might of gone madlad with a science based mask or something and taught people some stuff. But, its just as likely we are completely unfamiliar with the concept.
Yknow I was gonna say the mask feels a little cheap material cost wise but then I remembered 100 zombies is 100 real people that could've been saved by us :'^(. Great Initial draft for the mask, it's one I could get behind 100%

I mean I doubt we'd get those immediate affects and from I've gotten we COULD make a mask from fucking driftwood if we really wanted. Technically some materials here might be decently exceptional since they probably haven't been invented in our home world yet even though I'm sure drethir has a bunch of fantasy materials and weird creations due to mask users who've fixated on science or creation bullshit.
We will learn that soon enough.
It doesn't need to be some kind of ubermask. The legend we want to go for is "person who makes healing masks" rather than "healing masks" so more Potential goes to Glass. So we would prefer larger amount of cheap healing masks we can spread around instead. They would probably just heal Zombie Virus in living people, resurrecting person back from zombie sounds too difficult unless we do focus on ubermask route, and even then it sounds difficult to do at scale.
We could also just introduce Mask making to this world in general. It is probably not needed as we can max out our fame as mysterious healing mask maker, but it is still something we can eventually do if we want more cred.
But for them to make masks they'd need a source of Facelessness generation and that is playing with fire. Than we already are 😅
I didn't want to do a uber mask either but its hard to sell farming it purely for the sake of altruism. Could you scale its capabilities down? Another idea in discord was just to use the facemask in the hospital and infuse a Mask based on that concept. Disease immunity.
It might still be zombie-world breaking so we need to balance it. Maybe do an investigation and find out about the true nature of the disease. And infuse that knowledge to the masks during creation like the cure mask.

Getting Facelessness to work without murdering everyone is not quite rocket science, although funnily enough it could eventually make this world more like our starting world. Now, in this particular case I don't think it would do much, but the overall point is that disseminating our teaching is kinda whatever because whatever happens later is not our problem.
As an aside, I must admit I'm enjoying Mask gameplay much more than expected.
I'm not sure what are you trying to say here. Regarding our motives, it should be easy enough to get PR about us being a mysterious stranger who came in impossible times to help out. For those more suspicious they could talk about us using our healing masks to obtain power, which is fine. Overall we only care about Glass facetime, getting a couple of stronger healing masks with us and, while we are here, power an influence these masks would give us.

[X] Plan The Stranger
I've seen enough Zombie movies to know what will happen if we give away a still total stranger mask that we know for.......... How much exactly? 20 seconds? 2 minutes?

After mulling over it for a while, I believe I've managed to find the most efficient combat mask for this verse. I present to you Ravaging Hive
Also another thing I've been thinking about. One of the big abilities Glass has is ability to copy abilities. This kind of meta ability can be easy to abuse in certain scenarios. Easy example would be mask that empowers other masks - copy that ability and suddenly we have boosting loop. Now "mask that boosts other masks" is likely very rare, however something way more common would be masks that have ability such as "if x happens boost abilities of this mask". By copying such mask and meeting its requirements, we would find a way to boost Glass in a very straightforward manner. This is for sure something to consider going forward.
- Flesh-eating Swarm: Conjure a cloud of flesh eating locust under user's control. Extremely lethal these locust are capable of consuming a grown men in minutes. Consumed flesh is converted into more locust.
- Swarm sense
- Hunger Form: Requires consumption of Flesh eating locust equivalent to user's weight. For next hour gain ability to transform, together with your gear and Ravaging Hive, into swarm of locust
- Evolve: Invest Potential spent on this ability into various locust upgrades. Start with set of basic upgrades; major consumption of certain species unlock additional options
- Wretched Hive(10 Potential, requires 10000 consumed Zombies): Gain Zombie virus bite. Instead of turning into a Zombie, victim turns into Wretched Hive, a shambling cadaver brimming with locust

The Undeath Epidemic
After Daria's dismissal, Dorian decided to stick around and investigate the circumstances of this society a touch closer. It was a difficult matter to do without appearing a madman; one could not simply point towards a dog and ask, 'what is that?' Inquiries here needed to be carefully concealed, information derived without arousing suspicion.
Fortunately, the Glass Webweaver excelled at doing exactly that.
His clothing was decidedly out of place, so he disguised himself as someone dressed casually, and not wearing a mask, even while the Webweaver was still on him.
Then, he spent some time lounging around and utilizing Reflection on the survivors scattered around the hospital; its memory-sampling effects were imperfect and focused on procedural and muscle memories, but sufficient finesse allowed him to divine certain basic facts about the world, over his first day's course.
This world, its inhabitants called Earth; a divisive planet of countless nations. For millennia, nothing remarkable happened, aside from the usual course of civilization. Strife, science, society. Then, about a decade and a half ago, the Undeath epidemic occurred. Its cause, as everyone agreed, was when the 'masquerade' of the vampires was undone. These creatures, having long lived in mankind's shadow and content to feast parasitically on people, were also capable of something called Viscerality: the alteration of anatomy and other magics of the flesh. After their discovery, mankind wished not only to stamp out these creatures for safety's sake but also to claim their incredible power.
However, although Earth's governments cooperated, the vampires did not wish to face extinction. One of their elders made a threat: if this persecution went on to last, or if he died, a terrible calamity would be unleashed, and cripple the world forevermore. On something called a 'TV' he warned mankind not to disregard his warning.
His threat fell on deaf ears. Humanity ignored the threat.
This was the result: an almost incurable spore-like disease spread over the Earth's continents and oceans overnight, almost nowhere untouched. All alive were infected, and death was the disease's main trigger: any who perished soon came back as zombies and then became a part of the horde, and those bitten by the dead would inevitably die as well, swelling the ranks. Civilization did not fall instantly. Resistance was mounted, and the world's armies had the technology to prevent total decay. However, even with all these measures, the threat was still serious and complicated by the fact that some of the dead mutated superior strains: organic weapons, and worst of all, intellect.
So, inevitably global civilization deteriorated over time, and rumors say its original form persists only in several walled-off enclaves across the world. Ironically, according to Scott's testimony based on something he'd once heard from his father, most of the vampires who could afford this sort of measure fled to the safety of the cities for the same reason as other humans: as a claim of safety from the undead, as well as to have easier access to prey. There were even some rumors the cities were an intrigue made by elder vampires concealed among the wealthy leaders of mankind; farms disguised as bastions, glowing brightly and brilliantly to attract scared and pliable food.
After finding all of this information out, Dorian frankly wasn't certain what to do about it - he felt a twinge of melancholy over the fate of the world, since it seemed so irreversible and hopeless, as well as a mote of trepidation at the prospect of being stuck here. However, that second feeling was always interrupted by a brief flash of song he'd recognized as the Street's. Outside, viewed through the window at night, he could see its opalescence on the parking lot.
On instinct, he understood all it'd take was to step onto it, and he could return to its cobblestones. It expected him to do so, in fact.
He decided to retain Scott's companionship for the time being; the young man was a remarkably adroit athlete before the epidemic, and well-informed on local affairs and social mechanics. Aside from serving as a well of information, he could make a remarkable enforcer if well-equipped.
After his search for information, Dorian decided he needed to rest, and found a lonesome bed to sleep on. His wounds ached throughout the night, and constant migraines made sleeping difficult, but eventually he managed to force himself to pass out.
The next morning, he spent a while pursuing medication. Painkillers and antibiotics were found easily, and he deemed these medical supplies exceptionally advanced compared to standard Drethiri methods; outside of an advanced mask-wearer's talents, you could not really cure the red plague back home. Here, it seemed they had a miraculous solution available to everything short of cancer and the zombie epidemic itself. Apparently, some early medicines from before 'everything went to shit' were derived from research done with Visceral grafts captured by Earth's governments. Alas, the epidemic put a swift end to that research.
After that, Dorian reassessed his situation in a more objective light.
It was insane, that only yesterday, he'd slept at an inn right outside the capital of the Duchy, and three nights ago, he was eating dinner alone back in the Croft Estate. And now, another world: one with these strange monsters called zombies, and survivors huddling among civilization's wreckage to survive.
He chose to do some additional fact-finding and basic resource-gathering.
First, it seemed his earlier suspicions of Daria were correct. A subtle Reflection of her granted him a strange preternatural sense of his own body, and a swift reflex well above the human norm, as well as a strange feeling of stomach-centered discomfort, like a yearning or a hunger waiting to be filled. He doubted she was one of these rumored Visceralists; allegedly, that came with a host of senses of its own, including the ability to read people's emotions with no direct input, and he experienced nothing such. Even with Reflection's flaws, Dorian was confident he would've at least become semi-aware of it, should Daria have been a Visceralist. This meant she could only be a vampire.
Second, he'd managed to secure some clean blood from the hospital's storage rooms; he patched a couple of the remaining wounds with Crimson Lost, feeling much better. According to Scott, this area only fell under the 'influence' of the zombie horde about three years ago when an intelligent zombie 'warlord' steered the hordes over here. However, social activity persisted for some time afterward, until the saturation of undead increased catastrophically in recent months, so the blood was still decently fresh.
His findings meant one question left: namely, what to do about Daria.
She was a vampire, no doubt about it.
Questioning Scott on the issue as exhaustively as he could, Dorian found out that most vampires fell to sociopathic tendencies and viewed men as cattle. And it seemed this was no mere quirk of probability, with only the sociopathic being chosen for transformation; their condition twisted them towards such asocial inhumanity.
There was more, however. All vampires could choose their diet, although they were invariably naturally parasitic. One could feed on blood, and another on negative emotions; each type of sustenance a vampire subscribed to came with its associated power as well as a thematic weakness, such as an enhanced body and vulnerability to sunlight for those who drank blood. It was said some skilled elders could sometimes transfer weaknesses, such as feasting on blood and bad emotions but only suffering from sunlight to a more extreme degree, although this seemed unreliable or apocryphal. Even if correct, he doubted Daria was an elder vampire; those were usually also Visceralists.
It seemed prudent to Dorian that, if he chose to accost Daria, he either do so immediately before he aroused suspicion - there was no telling if she might possess some form of danger sense or precognition - or carefully stockpile information on her habits, to see if he could figure out her dietary needs: and by extension, powers and vulnerabilities.

Last time, the winning choice was [X] The Stranger. Your current Import is clocked in at 6.8.
What do you do next? Choose any combination of actions, but do keep in mind your time on each world is limited; a fact that Dorian can subtly intuit from the Street's song.
Alternatively, you should consider not doing anything. Daria's not an overt threat to you, so removing her might be too much of a hassle, and if she's feeding on any of the survivors, it's done subtly enough you can't notice even with all your preternatural senses. If she's a relatively harmless parasite, it might unironically do more harm than good to slay her or ruin her reputation; one way or another, this flock of people looks towards her as its shepherd. You should consider the ramifications of either choice.
Besides, can you really trust the testimony of all these people on what a menacing threat vampires are? None of the survivors are vampires, and Daria's own memories and opinions are both difficult to access and determine; this might be a case of institutional racism as far as you know, with one side convinced the other is inherently bad for causing the epidemic, and other convinced of its own innocence due to the actions of one solitary agent and simply trying to survive bad circumstances.
Are you willing to make that judgment call yet? You've taken lives, but rarely with so little reliable data on hand.

So my guess about the masquerade was more correct that I've thought, heh.
What to do. Better yet, what do we want to do? We could choose to fight, or we could choose to let this be their issue. This choice will have character ramification going forward; are we to be a impartial observer only in for our own gain, or someone who would risk their life to better life of others, insignificant as they might be in the scope of greater multiverse?

I don't particularly care about this specific vampire nor do I think we can fix this world in the limited time we have before getting back on the street. I'd likely go for either making a mask, getting our production off the ground and maybe making something relevant to our current scenario, or just confronting her privately to get an agreement of non-confrontation. Just let us do what we need to do then we'll fuck off.
The main worry is that capturing us and using us as mask producer is a real strategy. Given everything we saw from Daria thus far that is unlikely, although still something to consider. I'm also considering possibility of diplomacy - ultimately we might be capable of creating a cure which would let us get a ton of Facetime and I think that Daria would desire this as well.
Or maybe not. Or maybe we are not at the point where we can create cure.

They do seem to have eaten rocks pretty hard, although I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a lot of Vampiric sabotage behind the scenes.
