"In the ninth month, Never Mind releases memory books," Duty says, "Reading draws you and any near you into dangerous memories. Lose your abilities. Gain the abilities of whoever you play. Maybe die."

It takes that many words to explain.

"Twelfth month, consume media about holidays and demons twist their characters' shapes around town," Duty adds. That's not book exclusive.

He shrugs slightly. "Things happen." It's mostly stopped surprising him. Sometimes you fight Santa over your groceries. Other times Whos try to make you go deaf when you clear snow. Sometimes you play 'avoid Rudolf' until you determine it really isn't a deer so no one gets pissed off about harm to deer.

"Locals consider deer holy," Duty adds. Implied: Best not to harm them. When possible. That's in the pamphlet, but the importance is easy to miss compared to everything else.
