You're highly regarded as the world's most forefront expert on a subject; one you have no knowledge about.
Your entire life, you've been able to comprehend the fourth dimension
They warned you that the coasts are haunted by sirens. That's never bothered you though, you sing better than them.
An office's entire workplace this world is suddenly swapped with a castle's staff and royalty in another world.
All seems lost when the hero's party falls in battle against the dark lord. That is, until the bard that's been playing their background music steps up.
You're being hunted by packs of vicious monsters, when a clearly fake human approaches and hands you a cloaking device.
A person gets stuck in a groundhog day loop. They find out that every time they kill someone, the loop extends by a day, but it resets if they don't.
An evil witch defeats the hero of legend with a curse that turns him into a girl. The next day there's a line of people at her door, waiting to be cursed.
In the midst of a vampire attack, one person finds out that if you bite the vampires, they turn into humans
A man suddenly appears on a submarine deep in the ocean, with no recollection of how he got there. What's worse, no matter how much they ascend, they can't seem to surface
Rumors say the witch can grant immortality, but many fear the price. It's actually very reasonable, and she offers payment plans.
The devil comes to earth to collect a soul. Except, there's like 4 other entities all trying to collect the same soul
re: cleaning out victsing mouse wheel. It's been in my school bag for a while, and probably is actually broken since scrolling on it only works in one direction. think it might be the switch inside, not sure though. I'll give this a shot, thank you.
re: hp's issues. yeah, definitely a software thing. It's fucking irritating, and im very certain there were no other variables besides the mouse used. I kept everything the same, then tried all three of of the mouses in sequential order with nothing different between unplugging and plugging the next one in, and they all worked excellently except the hp. I don't know about special drivers for it, I've just been trusting my distro to handle all that (linux mint superiority). And yes, it definitely seems a lot more work than fixing the victsing; my concern is that the physical hardware on the victsing mouse is actually just broken, in which case ordering a replacement and manually fixing it is something beyond my current scope of skills, esp if it requires any soldering whatsoever.
thanks for the advice though!
