The INFECTION -Updated with More Info-

Journal Entry: Thu Jan 31, 2013, 5:18 PM

_{The INFECTION is a virus that's going around that infects PONIES, causing their coat/mane to DARKEN and the WHITE parts of their eyes to turn DARK GRAY. The COLORED parts of their eyes turn BLACK, and their pupils turn into the ORIGINAL COLOR. The INFECTED PONIES often turn very LOOPY, or sometimes even DEPRESSED, ANGRY, or just plain UPSET. No one knows where the INFECTION came from, or how it started, but once you get INFECTED, there's no going back...

There are FOUR TIERS of the INFECTION.

TIER ONE: Your COAT is just starting to DARKEN, and your PERSONALITY begins to CHANGE, and your EYE COLORS stay the same. Some SYMPTOMS may include a slight FEVER, DIZZINESS, and/or VOMITING.

TIER TWO: Your COAT is a lot DARKER then before, and you're starting to act pretty SILLY, or SAD, depending on where your PERSONALITY is going. Your EYE COLORS are starting to change too. Some SYMPTOMS may include random MUSCLE SPASMS, uncontrollable LAUGHTER, and OUTBREAKS of SCREAMING.

TIER THREE: Your COAT has finished it's DARKENING, and your PERSONALITY is... Well, whatever it chose to be, as the INFECTION chooses what it wants to do to you. Your EYE COLORS have completely CHANGED, and you get FUNNY LOOKS SOMETIMES because of your EYES. But pay no attention to them, because they'll probably go under the same thing you did if they aren't CAREFUL. Some RARE SYMPTOMS may include a high FEVER, and/or EXTREME BODY TEMPERATURES.

TIER FOUR: .... We don't talk about TIER FOUR.

TIER FOUR:
The INFECTION: TIER FOUR InformationTIER FOUR is the FINAL TIER of the INFECTION. There have only been 2 ponies that have been documented to reach this FINAL TIER. They go by the name of THE TWINS, and they were last seen when they were about to enter the FINAL TIER. They haven't been seen since. Some say they live in your DREAMS, giving you NIGHTMARES and CHASING YOU. But who knows, -NAME OMITTED- and -NAME OMITTED- could be your best friend, your dog, your cat... They could be ANYONE.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING TIER FOUR: You MUTATE. Your BODY TWISTS and CHANGES, forming you into a FREAK. You may grow SPIKES on your LEGS, or SPINES on your BACK. The MUTATIONS are RANDOM, and they have VARIANTS of their INTENSITIES of CREEPINESS. This is a very PAINFUL process to go through, according to one of the TWINS before she DISAPPEARED. There's a RUMOR of a THIRD who underwent this TRANSFORMATION, but it supposedly DIED in the process and the BODY was DISPOSED. Some of the SURVIVORS of the TWIN'S ATTACK in the lab could tell you if
ALTERNATE GENETIC MUTATION STRAND:
Corruption InfoIt seems a new thing has popped up in the world of Equestria. Ponies all over are being affected by it, their personalities changing... They call it the Corruption. Some think it's a mutated strand of the INFECTION disease, but... Nopony knows.
You may be asking, what happens during the Corruption? Well, what happens is an evil side of them starts to form inside of them. This evil side will start to appear more and more, staying out longer and longer each time, until finally the 'good side' just fades away.
'Can they be born into this condition,' you ask? Yes, they can be. 'Well what about -so and so species-? Can they be Corrupted?' Yes! Any species can be Corrupted. 'Can a pony be immune to it?' Don't be silly. If you don't want your pony to be Corrupted, then don't have a Corrupted pony bite you. Speaking of biting, lets get into how this even gets around in the first place.
So how does the Corruption spread around? It's because of Corrupted ponies biting normal ponies. A normal pon}
