[There's the sound of someone shouting, then a rushing, airy sound.]

I've caught on fire four times today! What the bloody hell is this?

[eiremagic]

Fuck.

[breakmychest]

That's helpful.

[eiremagic]

Well how'd you catch on fire in the first place?

[breakmychest]

Sun three times, stove once.

[cry_reaper]

...you caught on fire?

[breakmychest]

Four times, yes.

[cry_reaper]

How?

[breakmychest]

Accidentally standing in the sun three times and leaning on the stove once.

[whattingawhat]

The City thinks you're hot, Spike.

[breakmychest]

City's right. As you know.

[whattingawhat]

I haven't gotten a brain injury and forgotten.

How are you catching on fire? Please tell me you've got electricity and drapes where ever you're staying. It's not a crypt, right?

[breakmychest]

I've got to admit, love, I'd be a bit insulted if you had.

No, it's a nice place. But the windows blew open when I was sleeping, then I tripped into one of the more sunny rooms, twice, and this latest time I leaned on the bloody stove.

It's a curse.

Perhaps you ought to stay as still as possible until midnight if that's the fourth time.

[ it's sort of impressive....but mostly just dangerous ]

[breakmychest]

Like hell. It's not like I've never caught on fire before. So long as I get it out quick, I'm fine. I'm not gonna cower in fear.

[the_alice]

I'm sure the curse doesn't mind if you're fearful or not, but do you like being on fire?

[breakmychest]

Not my favorite thing, but nothing I can't handle if I get it out quick enough.

[toobad_sosad]

Mm~ Some curses are this way.

[breakmychest]

Brilliant.

[toobad_sosad]

Always irritations.

[breakmychest]

And not even clever. Bad luck on Friday the 13? Bloody predictable, it is.
