The world's leading experts have been trying to find a cure, to no avail. Th blight keeps changing, keeps foiling all attempts at being fully understood. It's almost sentient, or at least more sentient than any disease that's been encountered before. People fear the disease jumping from what's left of the grapes into other plants, into animals, or even humans.
You can only watch as entire economies and ecosystems collapse. You can only bury your head in your hands as your own business comes to its end. The destruction of the clusters of grapes has not simply destroyed the wine industry, either-other businesses are being destroyed by the plague. Food, transport, retail, nothing is untouched.
You look on your own vineyard, its yield almost entirely blackened and dead.
This can't keep going on.

A week has passed since everyone's arrival. No one has died, yet. But surely no one is holding their breath to see if they would survive this unscathed. They are veterans of the game, and they must know that whoever it is that is in charge demands their pound of flesh. The question is when it will happen.
It is the second week, after all-and when the second week of the game comes, death is not far behind. Not even when you wake up, feeling something different in your mind as you remember the truths you originally woke up with, deep in your mind. You feel...lighter, somehow, when you realize there is a change.

Even so, there are 15 strangers left in this place.]

[Eric is happy to see Lala with his dog, and he doesn't mind that she also brought a demon.
she also has his lab stuff but he's on the fence for if he wants to admit it's his, a human heart is a pretty suspect thing to possess]
no subject
Oh, he's yours-lun!
no subject
Yep! ...Well, the kid usually takes care of him more than me, but I did bring him home first, haha.
[Gab's a pretty old dog, so he's also just kind of sitting there and tail wagging and not immediately coming when he's called. so Eric will sheepishly pick him up himself, glancing at 'Kyuu' as he draws closer. it's a pretty weird looking rat thing to him, but she looks so happy holding it he can't be one to criticize. Hmm.]
...That's that alien bunny everyone was talking about, isn't it? Did it talk to you yet?
no subject
[Assuming tail wagging means the same thing coming from Gab that it does from Yeti. But it probably does. She gives Kyuu a pet, then shakes her head.]
I asked them some questions, but I don't think they even noticed-lun.
no subject
[Eric pets the dog while he's holding him. he's happy to see him too! but at this thing, he thinks about it a bit....]
So it didn't understand you? ....Maybe it's some kind of lookalike then.
no subject
[Lala is not sure she wants to think about what it would have been like in the vending machine.]
Or the ones that talk are the lookalike-lun.
no subject
[it doesn't really make a difference to him either way.]

no subject
[Gab is just panting away in his arms and occasionally trying to sniff Kyuubey...]
no subject
Lun. Earth dogs can't really talk-lun.
no subject
[well with her looks he didn't very well think lala was from earth, but oftentimes those sorts also haven't heard of it, so this is interesting. what is she, a neptunian or something]
So what planet are you from?
no subject
[
so far that physics apparently work differently]no subject
[he kind of doubts this is the alien who left that but it's not like they ever found the real explanation for it.....]
no subject
[Although Abraham does kind of seem like the type to misplace a transport pod, come to think of it.]
