((baaack!)) Netalia took one look around, then immediately walked up to the tablet. "Interesting. Very very interesting." Netalia then examined the strange writing. "AHA. JUST AS I THOUGHT." she exclaimed, fingering each groove.

((So I rolled a zero? XD))
"Gah, need to keep searching. I don't want to read the book." Shawn mumbled to himself. "There has to be something else useful here."

"I have absolutely no idea what these foreign writings are." Netalia exclaimed, sighing. Netalia then proceeded to examine a nearby pile of rubbish for clues. "You'd think that they could at least try and be a little neater?" she said, irritation dripping off her voice.

Flink leaned away from the girl who had taken a sudden ( and very loud ) interest in the tablet, holding it numbly for her to look at due to a loss of knowing what else to do at that moment. He then looked towards Leo who had also just been touching the tablet, quirking a brow, and held the tablet a little closer to himself as if on instinct that it might break if too many people touched it at once.
"Well?" he asked, trying to break away from the [small] crowd, "Anyone going to read that book, or what?"

((Yeah, pretty much))
Multiple copies of the book are available thought the room, so both (Zen) and (Izzy) and (Everyone) were accommodated. How long do you wish to spend reading the book?
((Roger needed food. So...his mind-thingy transfers to ((Turtle) when he comes back they both have it still.)

"What did you find Shawn?"
Powell walked over to see the book, and stared at the cover. He noticed that the authors shared the names of who apparently had lived in the dorm, and grinned.
"Our little friends published a book, eh? Worst Verse... what is it about?"
He paused, also adding "Say... there might be something of importance there. Mind handing it here for me to see and read through?"

"Go for it." Shawn handed the copy of the book he had found to Powell. "I'm gonna continue to look around. There has to be something to help with translation."

Leo's mouth fell open as he stumbles backward, clutching his head and crying out, "AHHHHHHHHGH", his face screwed up.

Flink frowned as he spotted another copy of the book near him, and rolled his eyes, picking it up. Why would they own more than one of the same book? Maybe there was just one for each of them...
He shifted the tablet so that he was holding it under his arm and flicked open the cover of the book before looking at the back cover and inside of the back cover, seeming to steep into the book from either side instead of just starting at the very beginning. He was searching for anything written in the book outside of the indicated text before starting in at the beginning, pawing through the pages and just barely scanning the pages.
(( Call it a quick skim? >.>;; ))
EDIT: Flink jumped as Leo shouted, holding both the book and the tablet close to his chest, wide eyes scanning the man for any obvious sign of injury.
"What the hell?!" he shouted, cringing away, "I- I mean- Y' alright, man?"

Netalia twitched as her consciousness felt invaded. "Well, this is odd." Netalia announced. "What exactly does it mean?" Netalia moved over to the tablet, and quickly read it over.
(( Edit: Is this still necessary? ))

"Thank you."
Nodding at Shawn, Powell sat down, and opened the book, and was just at the first few pages when he heard shouting. He lifted his head, and stared at the source.
"Sir... SIR! What's wrong?"
He was worried about whatever made the guy scream. Was it the tablet? Nonsense, stone can't make people scream like that, right?

(Oh good. Roger's back ^_^)
After the brief episode, (Roger) begins to feel a weird sensation after his comprehension roll. He notes the language as Sumerian, a dead language, and the symbols as those affiliated with ancient curses. He recognizes a name on the tablet. The name of Pazzuzu.
Tablet reads as follows:
You have displeased me.
You have insulted me.
You have angered me.
Jerinnana is angered on my behalf.
Great Pazzuzu is angered.
You are to die.
You are to die.
Our curse is upon you.
All those reading the book continue. For one more round. (Izzy), searches under the bed to find a box of letters. Among them, a ton of angry and bitter toned words. And the wrapping the tablet came in.

"I found something else! Letters, and some kind of wrapping. These could be useful." Shawn pulled the box out from under the bed and began to search through them. "Anyone want to help me look though this?"

Leo pants heavily, sweating, and massaging the temple that was pulsing threateningly back in the coffee shoppe. "I'm...*cough*, I'm fine" He shook the unidentified feeling and looked back up at the tablet.

The tablet remains cold, offering no more assistance. Leo's sanity remains in tact even though he fully understood what happened to him, and retains the information.
