Yeah, Knight Syndrome is exclusively a Warrior class thing that is guaranteed to strike any Knight or Page at least once a session, not one of the apocalyptic murder-game's mental disorders. The one you're probably thinking of is [Aggrievance], but judging by DA's description she doesn't have that either.
If any mental disorder is in effect, then it would more likely be [Phrenic Phever], going on the crystal ball thing, but it could just be a plain old, boring, everyday case of being stressed and upset and reacting badly to seeing your own corpse.
Either way, I prescribe the same treatment: Bust down that door, hug the shit out of your sister, ask her if she wants to talk about it and then go do some maturity quests with her. If she tries to make you go away, tell her no and keep hugging her until she gives up - use your aspect if need be.

Okay, umm, long story short, that worked. I grabbed went over there and told her how worried we were demanded that she come out and talk to about it and when she wouldn't I let myself in (that felt less wrong than it sounded). Hugs and heartfelt conversation were exchanged. Oh and I brought her dinner with me I guess, since she hasn't eaten since it happened. And Stacey wanted to see her after me, which is only fair.
Anyways, in the end we agreed that she's done more than enough scrying for the next few days and I confiscated her crystal ball. Right now she's trying to make coherent notes out of everything she saw before she forgets the details and it becomes "an even bigger waste". I won't spill any more of the details, she'll probably share whatever she's comfortable with in a few hours (our time, not screwed-up-linear-order-with-random gaps forum time. I think my first hour in the game was half a week to some of you).

So, I'm ok.
Ok no I'm not. But I'm more ok than I would be if he'd let me keep going any longer. So thank you guys for telling him to stop me, and thank you Danny for doing it.
It turns out there's a difference between "seeing other times" and actual Mind powers, the difference being that I can't actually see branches unless they're going to happen to me. Which should have been painfully obvious. I think I managed to lock in at least two more doomed selves during that vision-binge there, maybe three. That was a mistake I'm going to pay for.
Anyways, I've decided I'm not going to tell anyone how I died there. I'll give everyone in the party advice based on what I saw, but I'll spare them all the guilt of knowing whose mistakes actually got me killed.
Oh god listen to me talk there. I sound like a ghost.
Anyways, Danny. First off, stop trying to be clever with what you stick inside your weapon--anything fancier than a bunch of rocks counts as "shenanigans" and you'll get a class-based penalty. You should go get Adam to make you a new sylladex asap. You did pretty well in one of the branches using a combination of Pikekind and HeadOnAPikekind, which grants massive Rage-based fear buffs but doesn't ding you as a knight, but you need him to make both or else you'll only be able to carry one weapon since the others will fall out whenever you switch.
Also, gain some levels. I don't care what you have to do. You need to gain some levels. You are the weak link in combat situations, and that will hurt us.

Oh sweet jesus adjusting to time player death. Major pain in the SRMEO (Slitted Reproductive Material Ejection Organ). Got Scout of Time, went into a few doomed timelines to figure out what to avoid, learned several terrible, terrible truths about how I COULD possibly die. Saw several of those methods happen. Spent the next day in my room, eating [REDACTED BYDivineForce censors] and having several sob sessions with my best friend. She'll get over it eventually. Give it a bit of time.

You're a bit late. That was several months ago. She's already "gotten over" that by now, and has all new problems to deal with.

Wait fuck. That "Jump to Page" thing is way too small. Now I feel like an idiot. Sorry 'bout that man. Good thing she recovered...
