Last week has been really busy.</div></div></div>Mindy cringes as she ends her examination of Chrrou. Stepping away from the druid, she gives her explanation to the party, using the mindlink to exclude any possible eavesdroppers and the afflicted mousefolk.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">~This... is bad.~</span>She begins.<span style="font-style: italic">~Chrrou has been subjected to a Death Urge. A psionically implanted compulsion to find the quickest rout to one’s own death. Essentially, it reverses one’s survival instincts. Victims are likely to leap off cliffs or jump down a predators throat. Apparently Chrrou felt the path of least resistance was his current body’s claws. ~</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">~But it’s strange. The Death Urge should have worn off on it’s own by now. However, if it were still “active”, so to speak, we’d be fighting just to keep him from hurting himself. However, some part of it is… staying with him. This extended Death Urge is unnatural. Did any of you see who did this to him?~</span>She hesitates on explaining the echo zone to her companions. Alarming them on what she feels is a hunch would only cause needless worry. For now, she finds it best to investigate this quietly.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">~In any case, I think the best option is to let him rest. I can try dispelling it, but it might just come back on it’s own. If you need help restraining him, talk to Vonerys and Aeravel back at our room. Let us know if his condition worsens. Abd for goodness sake, don’t let him near a predator. He might offer himself.~</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Soma, do you know of any other psions in town?</span>She asks, ‘speaking’ privately to the tiefling.<span style="font-style: italic">~More specifically, someone trying to gather psionic energy?~</span><br/>- - -<br/><blockquote><div><cite>Alyssa wrote:</cite>"I'm afraid I don't know the magic to reduce this sort of burden, but perhaps I can help to support your temporary weight?"</div></blockquote>”Ah. Thank you.” Mindy replies, accepting Alyssa’s hand. “My back is starting to seriously complain about all the added weight.”<br/><br/>Mindy leans back a bit into the tielfing’s support, the contents of the elfs stomach shift about in wet groaning noises. Mindy blushed, knowing that Alyssa, an avid pact follower, is likely hearing her stomachs sloppy noises.<span style="font-style: italic">~I hope I’m not being a bother, Miss Jaroneva.~</span>She said to the monk, as the two ventured into the arena.<span style="font-style: italic">~You seemed quite shocked earlier at the result of my… curiousity. Have I disturbed you? ~</span><br/>- - -<br/><span style="font-style: italic">~Ah, Jess.~</span>Mindy calls out to Jess as she scans over the registration book..<span style="font-style: italic">~Before you go to your match, would you like to complete our trade? I’m sorry about the delay, but my feet wouldn’t be able to handle all of this weight.~</span><br/>- - -<blockquote><div><cite>Yuki wrote:</cite>~Geno. Look to your left.~</div></blockquote>Serving as the hub for the party’s Mindlink, Yuki’s message to Geno has to go through Mindy first. She scans the area left of the dragonfolk, but only sees a redheaded woman and a man in bandages.<span style="font-style: italic">~Is there something wrong, you two?~</span>
