[The blight would not stop.

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.]

I do not think it is cursed. I do think that the person who owns this book has explaining to do, given the large amount of necromantic spells in this book. Some spells in that school are fine - I use one or two - but creating undead and summoning demons is well beyond the acceptable limits.

No shit... [well, farkas's ability??? whatever, probably doesn't count] Ugh, but there's no way I can talk someone out of doing necromancy, just look at me.

[he leaves this in your capable hands caleb, should you choose to fuck with someone who summons demons on the regular. good luck with that. seriously, good luck, he's scared.]

So, what should I do with it? The book... I mean, if it's that bad, should I try to return it or something? I don't actually mind having more socks!

No, I... think I know who this goes to. And we should have a talk about it.

... They're going to think I copied their spells and they're somewhat right, but I can't record them right now anyway.

[well if he says that then Eric's gonna figure out pretty fast who it is, only two people have magic and books in their likes, you freaking nerds]

You memorized it?

[He taps the side of his head.]

I have a very good memory. I can memorize many things.
