[Ah, I remember this curse!

Is there anyone here that I know? I'd love to be able to catch up with you if you are!]

[I really do not enjoy these weekends of random curses, they are arguably the most hectic days of the month. I'm glad that letter's gone from my fur, that wasn't particularly something I wanted to carry around for an extended period of time.

I hope everyone's no worse for wear?]

[I seem to keep finding myself at the library as of late. I can't say it's done me much good, though, as it's simply more of the same each time I visit. Perhaps I should start looking elsewhere for books to read, at this point.]

[Stop that! STOP LICKING ME!

Could someone please help?! The dog will not stop licking me!

Ack, no! STOP IIIIIIIT!]


[ooc: Thirty one flavors! He tastes like vanilla ice cream with sprinkles, and the resident pet will not leave him alone because of it. |D]

[How very quaint, City. A curse causing people to lay claim to people or things. I see no issue with laying claim to a thing, but no person should claim true ownership of another. Calling someone "my friend" or my "significant other," or something along those lines, isn't what I'm referring to, I'm referring to actually considering another person a possession. But then the curses are generally made to rub people the wrong way, aren't they?

Doumeki, I'd like to thank you for the methods for removing the marker, but... they don't work terribly well on fur. It is coming off slowly, but surely, at the very least.]

[I know that quite a few people are cursed today, but that does not change the fact of what today is~

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HIKARU~ Even with the curses, I hope you're enjoying today~

The gifts I made for you are on the table in the living room~]


[ooc: SO, what'd Mokona make for Hikaru? First and foremost, exact replicas of her sword and armor from Cephiro. Second, and probably more important to Hikaru, a picture of herself and Kid, made from one of Mokona's memories~]

[Well, my explorations during the previous curse proved to be rather fruitless. Everything in the City was as it would've been had everyone else been in it. I suppose I underestimated the sheer powers at work to make the curses happen.

That said, is there anything interesting or different anyone has experienced here in the City, outside of the curses, that they'd be willing to share with me? I'm quite curious about some things.

Oh! Clef, how are you settling in?~ I haven't spoken to you since you arrived. And speaking of that, don't be surprised by this, the communicators can automatically translate what I say into text or voice, making it much similar for me to speak with people.]

( [Private to Hikaru // Warded] )

[The feed starts and at least TEN Mokonas pop into view, scurrying around the MKR apartment with towels, mops, and other things to help Umi try dry off and not get water everywhere. Something isn't quite right, even if the copies are being helpful.]

[I remember this curse! Everything I draw comes to life~ I made drawings of myself to help me with things around here while everyone's cursed.

I can make more, if anyone needs help with anything!]

[Filtered FROM Umi and Sylar // Warded]

[If anyone in the City could help me, I'd like some information about someone named Gabriel Sylar. A close friend of mine recently befriended him while traveling in the Underground, and has mentioned that he would like to meet myself, and a few others. I'd like to know if this is wise or not.]

[/Filter]


[I am glad certain recent events are finally over, in more ways than one. But hopefully something will come of it, and hopefully it will be something good. Because if it is something good, it will benefit everyone in the city, not just a few people.]


[ooc: Yeahhhhhhh, this was supposed to be up, oh, two days ago? But life has been fairly disagreeable lately, hence my failure at... most everything this past week. My apologies for that.]

[I swear, that has to be one of the worst curses I've ever been through. I never thought they could directly destroy one's dignity and reputation. But I'd like to thank everyone who came to understand that what you saw was a fabrication.

I however would not like to thank two young men who were terribly ignorant. One of them has already been dealt with accordingly, due to his trying to actually attack me. The other... in due time.

Staying in has certainly been the best option for the day.]

[I remember this curse! And I've seen a lot of people so far, though not too many that I know, yet. Maybe if I go out, though?~

It seems like everyone else is fairing rather well with meeting old friends, though~]

[At least three days and the cake is still isn't finished! Tell me, Umi, do people make cakes like this often on Earth? Because each level of this cake seems like it could be a dessert on its own!

Ah, Hikaru! Umi said you might want me to make something for you? It might take a while, but I promise it'll be perfect~

And Yuuko, I do hope you're settling well~ This place is a little odd at first, but you get used to it, so to speak.


...It's a bit quieter in the apartment these days.]

[A good friend of mine brought something to my attention yesterday. Does anyone know what exactly is in the lower levels of the Underground? I've never been below the City myself, but I have heard of the monsters, and that they seem to grow progressively stronger as you descend.

It was suggested that the monsters might be guarding something, perhaps an exit of some sort. At the very least, it must be something very important for there to be monsters down there.

So, as I asked before, does anyone know just what's down there?]

P-Presea?

[There's a sudden loud metallic screech and a resounding clang, followed by the surprised shrieks of three lolis. And then said shrieks are followed by a victorious cackle]

I got you now, Mokona!! So it IS you who keeps messing up my study! Now I've got proof!> [short chuckle] So, how should I punish you? Should I pull your ears until they stretch out?! Or should I... hang you upside-down from the porch?! [MOAR CACKLING]

Pu!

[And the cackling slowly stops]

Pu!

M-Mokona?!


[...I remember how much fun that was now~]


[ooc: Reliving when he got the Magic Knights caught in the trap Presea had set for him. |D]
