I wouldn't call it lonely.

Even if it was - is, what is the purpose in announcing it? Curse logic says there doesn't have to be a purpose, period, and if we go with that then it just amounts to the same thing as all the other ones like this: a city-wide show and tell. Everyone's "lonely" at one point or another. Then it passes. You get over it or ( Read more... )

It really is one of the more depressing curses they could have come up with. It's like a bunch of whining teenagers all over the network today.

specifics July 12 2011, 02:33:23 UTC

The unfortunate part is definitely the sharing factor. If it was just the feeling, that would be much more acceptable -- which is probably why they didn't stop there.

totallyinaband July 12 2011, 02:35:15 UTC

I think the sharing factor is the whole curse. People are always lonely, you know? They usually just keep it to themselves.

specifics July 12 2011, 02:37:57 UTC

I think there is something else to it - twisting the idea of being lonely, possibly.

[ Because Arthur doesn't believe he is, which obviously means this curse is all kinds of whacked out...

...well, or not. ]

Or making people focus on it.

Who knows. It's fucking depressing, though.

Luckily the odds are always that things like this will be restricted to the typical 24 hours. That's something.

totallyinaband July 12 2011, 04:15:11 UTC

Yeah, but I have a feeling the effects of this one are going to stick around him.

[Don't mind him. He's mopey today.]

specifics July 12 2011, 04:15:59 UTC

Him?

totallyinaband July 12 2011, 04:17:47 UTC

Neil. He gets like this regularly, and the curse is really not helping.

specifics July 12 2011, 04:19:13 UTC

I see.

No chance he'll just feel that much better after it's over?

[ LONG-SHOT, but there it is. ]

totallyinaband July 12 2011, 04:21:52 UTC

Ideally, yeah.

[but unlikely]

I guess we'll find out tomorrow.

specifics July 12 2011, 04:24:45 UTC

Or at midnight, if he's still awake.

You don't seem to be affected.

Thankfully, for once.

[Believe him, Stephen is thanking whatever passes for gods here about that one. Since his recent return home - something embarrassing might have come out.]

specifics July 12 2011, 05:49:33 UTC

I almost preferred the harpies.

[ He definitely preferred the harpies, to this curse. ]

totallyinaband July 12 2011, 15:43:04 UTC

Harsh, man.

specifics July 12 2011, 23:45:46 UTC

I'm sure I'm not the only one.
