While I have observed this curse day several times previously, I have never before experienced it myself. It was something of a surprise to discover upon awaking that my physicalities had changed in the night, but it did not take very long to adjust to my current form. I find myself somewhat bemused that it has been cause for alarm for so many other citizens; it seems to me a curious, but not particularly difficult, experience.
...If nothing else, this curse is a reminder that who we are is not nearly so tied up in our appearances as we believe. They are superficial aspects of one's true being at best, and while there is certainly some value to them, they are not integral.
((OOC: This is the first time I've found an acceptable old Egyptian woman for this curse funny how well googling "old Egyptian woman" worked, and so today, Ptolemy is a chick...well, old biddy? As thoroughly not-sexual as always, though--boy's gotta catch a break somewhere.))
