Quest 280
Memories...are odd things, aren't they?
About a month ago, I mentioned the idea of taking down stories from people's experiences in the City and collecting them into a sort of book or account of all the people that spent time here, for the ones who stay and the new ones who come after we're gone. It's something that a friend of mine did with music, and I thought it might be nice to try it with stories and tales, too.
It'd seemed as though the curses would be easiest to write about, since they're often the things that prove most...er, noteworthy. And it's strange, because after nearly three years in a place like this, one would think one would begin to forget curses here and there as the time goes by. But then, on the occasions when they come up again, it isn't difficult at all to look at the curse and remember that we've had it before. I suppose that's only to be expected, though; after living through an ordeal once, it shouldn't be at all difficult to recall it when it comes around again.
But that's the strangest thing, really. That curse the other day, the one with the tables and parties and everyone moving down...has that one happened before? I feel as though it must've, but I just can't seem to--that is, I remember the commotion, and the cups, and Blue was so very upset for some reason. And it was so rare to see him like that, but I can't think of what could've made him feel that way in a curse about nothing more than bustle and tea.
So I suppose, er...well, it's just, does anyone remember if we've had that curse before? The one we had the other day? If you could, I'd very much appreciate it if you'd tell me about it.
And speaking of curses, I think we'd all best be on our guard today, and in the days to come. I think there's meant to be trouble on the horizon.
[OOC: So yeah, Rosella's usually pretty good about remembering past curses. The reason why she can't get this one? She was kind of missing her heart at the time. Awkward. She'll be in the Library for any punching-related incidents, but she'll be dodging most of them because if she gets hurt, her friends might kill people. >>]
