Text: UN - Runeseeker (CW: Mention of Death/Death Effects/Death Flu/Poss. Comfort Sex)

[Someone was not in great shape right now. She was exhausted, barely coherent, and felt like ass. But this wasn't new. She knew what this felt like, and the items she kept stored to protect her memories were working again. She'd been directed to them, and things were coming back fuzzily. It was awful, but it was working.

But without Moira around, she wasn't sure if Leonard was yet up to curing the death flu of this place, and she figured she'd endure a week of it. The only way to keep her mind off of things, though, was to try and be useful. It had been Moira who had explained these things before, so she supposed it fell to her.]

This is a bit of a Public Service Announcement, as others have called them in the past.

If you die in Deerington, you will return to life seven days later, roughly. When you do, there will be bad things that happen, getting progressively worse each time. Should you experience differences in these, please inform me so that FEAR can keep updated records...

First Death) You will have the worst flu of your life for one week, followed by aches, pains and trouble sleeping for a month. Some have been able to mitigate this symptom, but there is no guarantee.

Edit: I have been reminded that there are nightmares of the time you died in this month. Forgive me, but separating the nightmares of the first and fourth month is difficult.

Second Death) You will lose some or all of your memories of your homeworld, for about two months, along with the first effect. Very few have been able to mitigate this symptom, but more extreme methods have worked for one or two.

Third Death) Your memories lost will include memories from this world as well as home, for about three months, along with the first two effects. Sometimes memory loss is for three months period for both types. Methods of mitigating this effect are about as successful as the second Death.

Fourth Death) All of the first three effects apply, and for about four months, you will have terrible nightmares of being dragged out of your bed to your doom, only to wake up screaming after sleepwalking somewhere. This will happen repeatedly and is very inconvenient when you are on a boat. No mitigation has yet been successful, other than strapping the victim down to the bed every night, which is not good on the back. I recommend having friends keep tabs on you, or just not dying four times.

I cannot recommend not dying four times highly enough.

Fifth Death) One of your senses will become wrong. We have only one known case of this, and it has caused the victim to suffer near total loss of the sense of touch, along with the attendant balance and coordination issues. If things track consistently, it is harder to mitigate and will last for five months. I'll report on that fact in five month's time.

The best cure, again, is NOT TO DIE FIVE TIMES.
Be careful, because the enchanted forest is extremely hazardous, even to veteran combatants.

EDIT:
Sixth Death) Hypothesized - You will somehow be trapped in the state of being of the way you were killed for six months, along with everything else. I cannot confirm this, and for the love of all that is holy I don't ever want to. However, we had visions in a sweat lodge months ago. I remember it vividly. I was carrying around my decapitated head, as if it had been for a long time.

I am pretty sure it was because I'd died. The vision might have been fake, but let's be honest, it's a VERY logical possibility.

To my fellow FEAR members, and those under me in the magic department, I will be taking the week off. I am in need of a new magical focus, and will be looking into solutions to that problem when I am feeling better. If you absoutely require my expertise, please contact me via text because my head is throbbing right now.

Private Text to Keith:

You and I discussed using each other.
If that is on the table, you are invited to use my services every night until I can sleep without seeing what happened.
I don't care if people would judge me.
I just want to sleep, and I can't get the images out of my head.
Yes. If you can tolerate this wretched death flu, the offer extends to right. fucking. now.

you sure don't slack on your research what's FEAR?

[sounds fun.]

That's me.
Apparently, Reaper and I don't even do dying in half measures.

Research/Defense group. We fight monsters when we can, prepare for events and try to coordinate with what's going on.
It's hit and miss because of people waking up.

i can see that just so you know if you die again i will kill you ah, the curse of the temporary living experience who do i see about joining?
