It's sort of like if you're taking drugs and then you realize there's something mixed in and it gives you a bad trip...I assume. I've never done drugs. Drugs are bad. Hugs not drugs and stuff.
I usually win at that. Most people can't compete with going to high school on a Hellmouth (mouth of hell, as advertised) and dying twice at current count. But I get the feeling you could hold your own in that game.
