Sigmund resigned getting rid of the paper. It probably had powers beyond his comprehension, so the effort wonuldn't probably pay off. He tried to get on good terms with the paper, at least:

-Allright, you can stay with us, as long as you don't explode or anything.

Determine if the pink flames are dangerous.

The piece of paper abruptly explodes.

[Your dodge roll: 5+1]

You drop to the ground immediately, only getting singed as magenta flames roar over you. Fortunately, it is late and dark, and nobody is close enough to the blast to get hurt any. Mark does look your way, however. At least you think so. He doesn't seem overly pleased. And neither does Evelyn, who appears to have hidden in the aftcastle. The paper still hangs in the air, burning happily. It looks a bit singed.

[Evelyn's magic roll: 2]

She makes a strange hissing noise, but nothing comes of it. She turns to you immediately from her high perch.

~Stop what you are doing.~

Wait, could she do that the whole time?

((Whooo! I'm not dead!))

-Doing what? I was trying to prevent that failed focus from hurting all of you.

~Well, it is not working. Stop it,~ Evelyn's voice rings out in your head. You'd honestly forgotten what she actually sounded like.

Oh, right. Yes. Yes, it does. Still floating happily, ayup. It looks damaged, though. Added to miniturn.

Hmm, maybe some reverse psychology is in order?

-Any suggestions, then? I don't know what to do with this piece of paper.

~Do nothing. Wait a moment. Ignore it.~

Evelyn stares at the paper for a long minute.

~It is difficult to handle. Do not provoke it.~

-Well, it somewhat worked before.

Wait, some distance away from it

Things to do in the day:

-Concentrate on reapairing the foci.
-Do so.

You step away from the focus and wait. It doesn't do anything at all in the time you do so. That's good, you guess.

~That is an acceptable state of things, I suppose. Keep doing whatever it is you are doing.~

-It seems that he wants to be near me, for some reason.

Don't go too far away from the paper, and do my stuff if possible.

((I don't think so, I'm afraid. :( We almost lost someone, but apparently they escaped from their predicament- sitting on the sea floor as a severed head- by becoming a ghost through sheer force of will. With any luck they'll blow themselves and their boat up before long in some magical mishap. :P))
((That's okay. I don't think I'd ever be able to catch up with this anyway. :p I haven't even read any of this since I signed up, which was like, two years ago?))

((There is probably the same amount of it that I haven't read... to be honest I have no idea what the others are doing, or how they got there, or what happened to Bernie, or just about anything other than my own little story. O.o
This game is pretty dang epic, that's for sure.))
