It's me.
[ November walks in, then stops when he sees July, disbelieving his eyes. ]
[November really was an odd contractor in a way, wasn't he? But definitions were never truly defined; contractors were changing, companionship, camaraderie...they were evolving]
His hand seem warm to me when I brought him here, so I doubt he is.
Only for a few hours. I found him near Cafe Juliet earlier today...
[there's a sudden silence, as if something had taken a hold of the other contractor, something that was causing his eyes to widen and his hands to suddenly shake]
[his body stiffens, movements clumsy as he steps forward only to tumble upon November. there isn't that familiar red glow in his eyes, but something seems off, and as the seconds pass, time doesn't seem to move with it]
He's coming, July. Don't you see it...?
[passes him a cup of warm milk because the thought is adorable. ;_;]

[ Leans in a little close, and whispers ]

[ One of his eyebrows quirks up, and he gives Hei a strange look. ]

--Hei? Are you..
[ He regards him more closely. After a second, his eyes go wide. ]
Have you shrunk?

[catches note of his the higher tone of his voice, then raises a hand to examine the unusual bagginess of his clothes
It's past midnight now, isn't it? This must be a new curse for the city...
[he hasn't noticed that the time around him as stopped, and the longer he uses this newfound power, the more he continues to shrink.]

[ He looks over to July, and sees him sitting there, still as a statue. Then he looks back at Hei. ]
Stop using your powers.

If I was using my powers, you wouldn't be talking to me right now.

You're shrinking. Like--
[ His eyes go wide, and his face is suddenly serious. ]
--like Amber. Stop it. Now.
[OOC: Mmmm, delicious shota for all! Now go get on the couch with July and put on those pretty dresses for Uncle Jack! >D OhgodI'msogoingtohell.]

How--
[he forces a deep breath, closing his eyes while he reaches down within him to shut off this power.]
...How can the curse affect me? I'm already part...[insert curse here]...leave it to a city curse to take advantage of a person's vulnerability.
Why Amber's power...?
