What's wrong, Rosella?

[primrosella]

Oh, this sort of curse always bothers me, Caspian. I'm afraid it's given me a bit of a headache, that's all.

[treadingdawn]

Is there anything I can do? For you?

[primrosella]

Well, I...mm. I wouldn't mind having something else to think about for a bit, if you'd like to talk with me awhile.

[sparkling_by]

...how about some soup?

[primrosella]

I think that sounds like a very good idea, Tamaki. I'll be certain to have some today, and to get plenty of rest, too.

[had_not_lived]

Is everything all right?

[primrosella]

It's been a bit of a rough few days, hasn't it, Neil? And I'm afraid the next few will be the same way, once this curse is over--if it's not already, that is.

[had_not_lived]

I guess I'm still a little shaken from last month... This doesn't seem so bad. Embarrassing, of course, but hopefully no one will get hurt too badly.

[primrosella]

I've never liked the ones like this, that change the way we think. I do hope no one will get hurt from it, either, but I know quite a few people already have, and it's going to take a great deal of understanding to move past it all, I think.

[horrible_penny]

That was a great entry, Rosella. We all probably needed to be reminded about the forgiving and understanding thing. I don't think the curse ended--and I'm still hoping it's a curse--but it has to eventually, and then we'll get days full of apologizing and forgiving. Then everything will be okay.

Do you need anything, Rosella? And did the curse leave you alone?

[primrosella]

It's the sort of thing that needs to be said every once in a while, I should think. And especially so during times like this, since it's an easy thing to forget.

I'm managing as best I can. Are you all right, Penny? Have you been feeling better?

[horrible_penny]

It's definitely easy to forget. Once hearts're involved, things get messy.

That's the best anyone can do, I think. I'm good! Worried about Chris and Ray--Ray's pretty mad--but it'll all be fine soon.

[primrosella]

I spoke with someone who said there's a celebration going on at the moment, which might be the reason why we always have curses like this around this time of year. It's called Tanabata, I think she said, and it's something to do with two lovers being reunited after being separated all year.

Are they still, er...cursed, then, or have they mostly managed to overcome that by now?

[adamantined]

I think people in general tend to automatically forgive other people for the things that happen during curses. Whether you've been here a week or a year. That doesn't really stop people from

Probably enough people have asked if you're alright by now. You need anything?

[primrosella]

I'd like to hope so. Still, I think it bears repeating every once in a while.

Oh, I'm managing all right. I think just staying in and getting plenty of rest will be the best thing to do at the moment, really.

[adamantined]

I think it's nice as far as friendly reminders go.

I heard orange juice is supposed to be good for that kind of thing.

[primrosella]

I just hate to see misunderstandings lead to people feeling so bad, both during them and in the aftermath. And the hardest curses to forgive are always the ones that need it the most, it seems.

I think I have some, and Tamaki suggested soup, so I think I'll have a little of both and that will be just right. For now.
