...These so-called 'curses'.

[ There's a long pause, then. Asking for things is not something he's particularly good at doing without being rude. ]

Who can tell me everything that they know about them?

[ The more he knows... the more it will help for him to figure out a way to fight them. ]

[ ooc: Yesterday, he experienced his first curse. Fakir spent

They're so random and unpredictable, the curses. I think people keep trying to get all predict-y with them but it just can't be done. Sometimes they repeat themselves though, so to that extent, they can be predicted.

[ ....Random and unpredictable. Great. ]

[sword_and_quill]

In general, what sorts of things have these curses done?

[the_dawnster]

Oh wow, too many things to name for there to be a general kind of thing. Uhm... they make dinosaurs and aliens and epic battles between heaven and hell and make people talk funny and take your memories and show them to everyone and... lots of things from the really silly to the really really bad.

[sword_and_quill]

So it's not just physical changes. These curses regularly affect the mind, as well?

[ Damn this place. Random nonsense that can do just about anything? How the hell can you even fight that? ]

[the_dawnster]

Yeah, those mind ones are the ones that suck the most. Breech of privacy much?

[sword_and_quill]

...Hn.

[ This is... much worse than he would have thought. At least with having a Fate set before you, you knew what was coming--you knew what to battle against.

Now, he had to accept that there was just no way to be ready for any of this?

After a moment, he clears his throat. ]

...The information is appreciated.

[ Even if he really doesn't like what he heard. It's better to know, at the very least. ]

[the_dawnster]

Well, I'm Dawn Summers. And I don't think we've officially met so -- hi.

[sword_and_quill]

[ Slightly awkward pause. ]

...I'm Fakir.

[the_dawnster]

Hello Fakir. So I guess you're a newb to the City?

1/2

[sword_and_quill]

A what?

[sword_and_quill]

...Hmph. I've been here a couple of weeks.

[the_dawnster]

A newb... you know... like... okay so I learned that one from Xander but it's like when you're new to WoW or something. They call you a newb. Or... okay, nevermind.

[sword_and_quill]

[ ...He really has no idea what she's talking about. ]

...Right.
