This is a public service announcement.

There’s a ruddy virus going around Crumble and it’s making folk real sick. Medical units from Overlord Command got in touch with the Bulletin and told us that it’s spreading ’cause you folk aren’t washing your damn hands after touching gross stuff (like yourselves). Granted, they also told us a lot of other things, and threatened our lives about three times, but the gist was the washing hands thing…

Wash your hands! I can’t believe I have to write this.

It doesn’t matter if you’re in a hurry to go back to work – wash your hands.

The bandits you’re waiting to ambush on the road can wait for you to clean the flakes off your fingertips – wash your hands.

Even if you’re super tired after bashing the heads in on those giant octorats that come up the public town privvy once a week, you could still be a disease carrier – wash your hands.

We have no water shortage, people. The wells around town, the river, all of the many rain tanks, they’re all freely available to the public. Use the river or a rain tank and you won’t even need soap – the acid will be far more effecive!

A cleaner Crumble is a safer Crumble. Remember that.
