Frogs!

You reach out toward a yellow-banded dart frog, and a glistening liquid spreads across its back.
Ignoring the evident warning, you stroke a finger across its tiny head.

A faint tingle grates at your fingertips, intensifying into a violent spasm as a deadly toxin seeps
into your veins.

Your heart pounds within your chest, blood thudding through your veins with such force as to render
you light-headed.

Something soft caresses your skin and, as you look down, a tarantula crawls across your arm.
Panicking, you fling violently to and fro in an effort to dismount the enormous spider.

The world abruptly fades to black.

Your senses return to you as the blackout ends. (11.287s)

Taku snarls, "Why are you still here, Ahmet? Nobody likes you. Get out!"

Spittle flies from your mouth as you cough violently, attempting to release the built-up fluid on
your lungs.

Without warning, you heave up the contents of your stomach onto the floor, the vomit streaked with
blood.

Lexa says in a soft, quiet voice, "You sure?"

Bleak says in an annoyingly loud voice, "Of course."

Bleak whispers, "Can't we just... get rid of him?"
Bleak subtly nods in your direction.

Fearing her intent, you edge toward Venmara and stare her down.

Without warning, a great mob of people fills the room, their persistent, droning voices thundering
through your brain in a deafening cacaphony.

[Curing]: FOCUS
You focus your mind intently on curing your mental maladies.
Sanity returns to you and you are no longer demented.
As though a reflection, a perfect copy of yourself stands before you. He frowns at you, before
disappearing.

With a hiccup, a vile acid rises from your stomach. As your oesophagus burns, you buckle over and
heave green bile onto the floor.

Your chest tightens, your lungs gasping for air as they flood with a foreign fluid.

A pair of bright, unblinking eyes peer out of you from the shadows.

The atmosphere thickens, leaving little in the way of air. As your lungs shudder and your vision
begins to fade, you realise that it is little more than your imagination.

With an agonising twinge, your muscles spasm uncontrollably and you fall to the floor, helpless to
your body's whim. With a 'snap', the bone in your leg breaks in two.
Your right leg breaks with a loud crack.

Out of the corner of your eye, you catch Juskra staring at you. Spittle flies from your mouth as you
hiss wildly at her, warning her away.

With an eerie smile, Lexa begins to claw at her eyes, laughing hysterically as blood pours down her
face. Gasping in horror, you quickly back away, the distance affording claim upon reality.

With a faint 'croak', a yellow-banded dart frog crawls onto your shoulder. The tiny amphibian gives
you a knowing look, before hopping away.

You nervously eye Persephonia.

Streaks of blood begin to pour from your eyes, and you frantically wipe at your face. As you stare
in horror at your crimson-stained fingers, the ichor quickly dissipates into mere memory.

Your heart pounds within your chest, blood thudding through your veins with such force as to render
you light-headed.

With an agonising twinge, your muscles spasm uncontrollably and you fall to the floor, helpless to
your body's whim. Pain jolts your body as your arms and legs flail violently, your skin cut and
bruised.

Your heart pounds with relentless, exhausting force.


The poison relents as your immune system adapts, relieving your symptoms but a fraction.
