Quest 239
[Private || Hackable by Friends]
Vampires. I should've known it would be vampires, from the moment the sun didn't come up. I ought to have known better, ought to have recognized it. I should've found a silver cross to wear, at least, or brought a clove of garlic with me. I should've expected it. I should've known.
It's been another week now and the pattern has held out. Two curses in a row, and then a day of respite. Today is the second of the pair again, so tomorrow shouldn't have any curses, if it holds. But tomorrow is also the weekend, and we haven't had our weekend of random curses yet this month, so there's always the chance that we'll have four straight days of curses now, too. And a week from tomorrow is Christmas.
This couldn't really go on until Christmas, could it? Or past Christmas, even?
It's been two weeks. They aren't supposed to go longer than two weeks. Really, they aren't supposed to go longer than one week, or three days, or one day, even...but it's two weeks now and it hasn't stopped yet, if the talk on the Network is any indication.
It was only a curse. He was cursed. He wouldn't have done that if he wasn't. And I wouldn't have done that if I wasn't, either. It was just a misunderstanding, that's all...
I should finish sorting out those cards of Tamaki's. Or plan for Christmas, or see to Amory's horse, or...something. Something to keep my mind occupied, so I don't have to think about all this.
Sam, I miss y--
Curses don't mean anything afterward. They only try to make us miserable. It's only a curse. Worse things have happened from curses before. Sam and I once--
No. I won't let it bother me. I'll keep on as usual, and won't let it bother me. And tomorrow's the eighteenth, and next week is Christmas. I won't let it bother me, not the curses, not Nigel, not any of it. I have plenty of nicer things to think about, instead. And that's all there is to it.

...I suppose this should likely go without saying, but it seems there's a curse today, the second of two in a row, just as we've been having for the past few weeks now. The good news is, if the pattern holds out the way it has been, then that means we shouldn't have one tomorrow--and I'm sure we'll all be glad for the respite. But at least this is an easy curse, unlike--well, some of the others.
Tempting though it might be, I do think it'd be wise to avoid eating any unusual mushrooms today. It's hardly wise to eat unusual food in general, but mushrooms do tend to be rather the worst of the lot, as unusual things go, and they often lend themselves to all sorts of trouble. My father ate one once that ended up turning him very small for a period of time, and while it turned out to be fortunate at the time that he did try it, it's still a rather dangerous thing to eat a mushroom without knowing exactly what it does or whether or not it's poisonous.
Though it is worth admitting that we've had a nice mushroom around before, too, but there was only one of those--since it was a rather special sort of mushroom--and it went to a very good use besides.
And it's Christmas in a week! That's certainly exciting, isn't it? So I think I'll be spending my day thinking of holidays instead of curses; it's much more cheerful that way.
[OOC: Badger badger badger MUSHROOM MUSHROOM. No, Rosella is not eating any of your mushrooms today; she's had a rather unusual week and is taking time out to recover, instead. Mostly by shopping, since it's some important guy's birthday tomorrow. >>
Also, unicorn shenanigans are on the horizon! Swing by that post if you'd like to be, er, mauled? :D]
