[Okay, that was definitely not as planned.]

T-Try to ignore it for now. Let's focus on what's in front of us. Do you know the meanings of any of those cards, or are we going to have to guess based on what's pictured in it?

[how do I ignore this though aaahhhh]

[clutches her stomach, fingers trembling]

R-Right, right . . . right . . . I-I think we'll have to guess again?

Re: DISCUSSION

Then, leave that to me. I think I'm good at figuring out meanings in things like this.

For now, take some deep breaths. The important thing is to calm down. If we lose our senses we'll only get ourselves into something worse.

[Deep breaths. Right. B-Breathing.]

R . . . Right . . .

[Well, you know, we have a spare jacket for that.

If you don't mind scrubbing your face with some bright orange abomination.]

What worries me is the statement that ripping up the cards "won't slow the transformation"... It's likely that the ones who chose the cards will be protected from the cups transforming more, but they could also be taking something something worse in exchange.

B-But . . .

[oh god trying to think]

Maybe whatever it is would just, y-you know, like sticking your hand in a fire for as long as you can s-so a crazy person won't chop off your head?

Re: DISCUSSION

The problem is that right now, we don't have a clue either way. It's a matter of risk assessment, I think. Which is more dangerous? We don't really have any way to know for sure.
