Anyone got an explanation for this one? I figured it was some kind of flower-growing shit when I got up, but looks like that's just in the apartment. I dunno, it's kind of nice I guess. Even if it's weird indoors. I've never been a nature freak or into gardening or anything but I can't complain

...huh. You seem rather matter of the fact I think today...

[never_very_good]

Do I? I feel fine though. I was worried about Eden but I'm sure she'll turn up.

Welcome back, by the way.

[sword_boy]

You sound... different in how you were explaining things. Maybe I'm just imagining it, but at least one person changed sexes from what I can tell, so I'm guess we're on a curse day of some kind.

I'm not familiar with this Eden so I can't help you there.

Thank you~! I got my partner Sasword back while I was gone, so I'm very happy!

[never_very_good]

Some kind, yeah. Dunno what.

Eden's the girl I live with-- short, Irish? I'm not too worried yet like I said. If she's not back soon, I'll look.

Who's Sasword?

see Tsurugi's hand in the icon to see Sasword

[sword_boy]

Huh. I don't know her, or I'm not sure who she is by name alone. If she doesn't show up, I'll come help look for her if you want.

Sasword is a Zecter. It's a little sentient mechanical scorpion. It allows me to transform into my Rider form...

[never_very_good]

There's a curse today, I figure she's probably caught up in that somehow, though I don't really get it.

That alien thing of yours, right.

[sword_boy]

I wouldn't doubt if your change in speech is related to the curse. This seems like an atypical curse. Like those weekends, where we get a bunch of different curses all at once.

Technically the Zecters are human technology... only directed by the Native, but still, technically no.

[never_very_good]

Yeah, but we just had one of those... Unless they're coming twice a month now. That'd suck, it's chaotic enough here at the best of times.

I thought you were part alien, though.

[sword_boy]

I think this is something different though... I'll probably know what it is by tomorrow.

Technically, I am all alien... just my consciousness is human... and the form I keep was based around what I looked like once upon a time.

[never_very_good]

So you're an ex-human alien using human technology to turn into.. some other thing.

[sword_boy]

You got the dynamics wrong, but the concept is more or less right. I consider myself human, but my body is physically alien. The technology was made by humans but was inspired by the Native, who used their form as template for the Rider System. ...and not to turn into something else... to well... think of... "Power Rangers"... wasn't it?

[never_very_good]

What, the kid's show?

[sword_boy]

Yes... the concept still applies. The Sasword transformation is basically the same principle... although I don't need giant robots to take down stuff.

[never_very_good]

Yeah, you seem to do fine on your own.

[sword_boy]

Well I do stand on top of being that good!

Have you figured out what this curse is yet?

[never_very_good]

Think so. It's stupid, but most've 'em are.
