[Backdated to day three]
It's become clear the problem is getting worse, not better. At first, Tara thought it was just some kind of strange disease, confined to Extras, but it has rapidly become obvious that the situation is much worse than that. She's called DG, grabbed Dawn, and checked on Willow - she doesn't want to push her girlfriend, but things are serious enough they could use all the help they could get. Sunnydale Library is, she thinks their best bet for specifically occult knowledge, and this definitely falls firmly on the creepy-crawly side.
Tara's not much of a leader, and she wishes Giles were there, but Willow's in no shape. She needs to get them together and see if there's anything they can do. So here she is, with a huge pile of books, and her fellow witches, and breathing a small prayer that there's something they can do.

[Day Five]
Tara knows that she shouldn't have gone back to the shop. There were supplies there, though - things that could help with wards, or healing, and it wasn't so far from the castle.
Too late now.
She's pumping the power that she can into the wards, and she's dragged some display cases in front of the doors and windows for good measure She can't hear much outside, but what she can hear... well, it's not very heartening.
In a lull, making sure her voice is steady, she picks up the tablet. "This is Tara Maclay. I don't know about the other sections, but W-Wilde is unsafe to travel. If - if anyone didn't know." She hesitates a moment, then adds, "I'm okay. But I don't think I'm going to get back to the Castle v-very soon."
[OOC: Combined to avoid spamming the comm, because I let this week slip by! Day three is for Dawn and DG and optionally Willow. Day Five is open for tablet replies; if anyone is running through Wilde and needs refuge or something, I'm open to whatever. PM me and we'll sort it out. Please feel free to backtag either of these forever.]

Dawn was thinking of us finding ways to protect buildings. But if Cain's been infected... m-maybe we should see if we can find a cure? Or both.
[Location: Sunnydale Library]
We could try a barrier spell o-or something like that. It'd take a lot of energy, but we might be able to at least make something strong enough for the residents to hide together.
[ The cure she's not so sure on. ]

[DG believed that. Not just because she had to - because the alternative was that it was already too late for Cain - but because that was the way that magic worked in her world.]
