In all the time I've been here, yesterday's curse was maybe the most awful thing that has happened yet. Being married to one's worst enemy is one thing, but that innocents, children as adults, have to know death for a day? That's a gross injustice. Now, we can be glad that it was only a day, certainly - but can you measure death? Isn't a day enough, or rather, isn't a day too much? This isn't something that should happen at all, and it's appalling that it does and is to be expected here.

When I went to Huey-kun's today, I saw words scribbled on the walls near aparment building number one. Two sentences: one was written neatly, like a small work of art, almost, and said "Down with the establishment!". The most curious thing about this would perhaps be that it was written in the Japanese spelling of my time. The other was all but smuddled there and I half had to guess what it said, but it was this: "Fuck you, deities". Looks like some rebellious spirits have been stirred by these curses. It would be a wonder if not. Still, the question is what this would accomplish - probably a punishment for the perpetrator, should the deities be especially miffed by having their walls painted on.

Well! This reminds me - Honda Tohru-san and I have talked, and we thought it might be a good idea to have a party. A feel-good party for everyone who wants a little cheer-up after a curse like this. What does everyone think?

(OOC: Plot is a go! Also, heads up that I might end up backdating a bit, as I will be away over the weekend!)

I barely remember yesterday... is that what happened?

Yes - several people were murdered, among them a child scarcely older than ten.

Eustace as well... but he seems in no worse spirit than before.

Really? Then he's exceptionally fortunate, I think - though certainly, I can't speak for the victims, not having been one myself.

It all seemed a bit... muddled. But after the fact I think if someone who was a victim can stand up and still smile then all isn't lost.

Although Eustace grimaces more than smiles on his own as is...

Yes, I think - I hope that's the case.

Grimaces?

[ oh have a bit of a laugh now ]

It is when he contorts his face in some sort of contemptuous disgust... I liken it to squeezing a lemon.

Doesn't sound like too cheerful a fellow.

He is very hard to please.

I haven't seen these writings... but I suppose if I did I wouldn't be able to read Japanese.

I wonder if your network device would be able to recognize and translate it if you took a picture?

... Can any of them do that? I've never tried.

I've no idea! I just know that mine has this function that recognizes handwriting.

Can it recognize less than elegant handwriting?

... not really. I have to put quite an effort into making text entries. Maybe I'll go back to voice entries or try the buttons.

I always prefer to speak and hear.

[ another laugh, maybe of 'deep down I am lazy' ]

So do I, really - but I wanted to try this out. And it seems like most people know how to write their entries, even if they don't always do it.

You mean the... the "typing" thing?

[ sound of his severely neglected keys going clack clack. ]

I do not doubt that it has good use, but then I would be deprived of hearing your wonderful voice.

Yes, that.

W-what, really? Uh, thanks.

[ unaware of this flustering flustered flusterness ]

You're welcome.
