Oh, come on. It's not that hard. Not like Tosh didn't leave me notes... why aren't they working?

Okay, okaaay. Looks like I'm in...

Ducks? She was working on ducks? That can't be right...

Huh. Looks almost like a blog...

Oh, lovely. Sounds like you have it worse than I do.

Same here. Admittedly, not being a mercenary anymore helps.

... Yeah, maybe I should have mentioned that in this case "mercenary" means "wandering adventurer and occasionally bandit-exterminator". My world is somewhere around the later end of what I think Earth calls the Middle Ages.

"Odd" isn't the half of it. I suppose I should warn you about the viruses, unless someone else has.

No, unfortunately not. He's even picked out actual examples that have happened.

It's not quite a virus like a disease - or for that matter like a computer virus. We just call them that.

As far as I'm aware, no one outside the community has ever caught one, for instance. Which saves worrying about that, at least. Especially since I know there's been at least one virus that inverts someone's personality.

You don't have to tell me twice. There was another that produced another version of the victim with an opposed personality. Thankfully my double had no grasp of strategy - I managed to subdue him without even killing him.

[shrug] I suppose I wouldn't be in a position to know.
