So...seems there's quite a bit I've missed. Would anyone care to fill me in?

Ah, right. Tanyuu Karibusa, make up artist, for any newcomers that don't know me. I've been back in my homeworld for a while, but I didn't realize how long I'd been gone here. Something of a problem with inter-realm travel.

Um... a lot. Things went pretty badly wrong in the last world, and we're... still dealing with the aftermath. [More specifically:] Several people ended up afflicted with a type of magic venom; we don't have a cure yet, but a bunch of us have been working on finding one.

Oh, gods...

[Fully closing the distance, Tanyuu reaches out to rest her hands on Ginko's arms, looking up at him with concern.]

Were you afflicted? What are the effects?

[Ginko stays still where he is, not pulling away or freezing up the way he tends to when most people touch him. It's no surprise from Tanyuu.]

No, I wasn't. Those infected have been fatigued, nauseous, often hopeless... at this point, we're pretty sure that's an actual direct effect, not just a result of their situation. And many of them have had body parts turned to stone. The Ringmaster has enchanted them to be able to move, at least.
