Though such a request may be useless during this curse, if anyone happens to see a chair flying by, please return it tomorrow. Even if it breaks, I would still like the pieces. I've already had to get rid of my potted plants after the curse a few days ago, and I'd at least like to keep my chair.

Colonel Mustang, I assume you no longer need me to do your paperwork.

Sir, I've scheduled a few meetings--I advise you to prepare for them this time. Please look over the notes I've put on your desk at your earliest convenience.

And yes, I've fixed the coffee machine.

[OOC; Mustang's embezzling secretary~ >D (orz orz orz pretend this was earlier, I was busy all day asdlkfjsd ;~;)]

[Filtered to Employees of Cassagioso]

Mr. Kimblee has fallen ill again and will not be coming to work until he has recovered. He leaves Tyki Mikk in charge, though I will be assisting him when I can. Please continue your duties as usual.

[Filtered to Hospital Staff]

I'd like to ask for help from a member of your staff... if I may.

[/filter]

A pity the Crimson Alchemist had to be cursed... I could have used him in that wretched circus. But no matter...

Edward, was it? I'd like to thank you for your assistance this past weekend. If it wasn't for you, I don't know what I would have done. Escaping on my own would have been inconvenient.

[OOC; Dante was part of the freak show in the circus because lol her torso is rotting, but she will ignore/blame the curse if you mention it. :( And then Ed rescued her but I was unexpectedly gone this weekend faaaaaiiiiiil. The End.]

[At first there is no noise but the hurried scratching of pen on paper, or perhaps an exasperated sigh. This near-silence persists for several minutes, making it clear that the audio has turned itself on through an electronic glitch or a trick of the City, then...

WOOF!]

Bombastus, be quiet!

[a whine, and the sound of rustling papers]

Get down, I don't have time to pet you today. Bad dog, you've--

[/audio]

There are still a great number of books left, and yet... a short break could hardly hurt.

[OOC; Anybody stalking the library may find one lazy!alchemist napping on a desk somewhere with a big stack of alchemy/physics/biology/chemistry books. Poke at will.]

( Private to Sloth // unhackable )

A benign curse, all things considered.

These chaotic curses are becoming more frequent as of late. A cruel and random world... perhaps even I can learn to appreciate this place for that.

[OOC; Thirty One Flavors today. She's coffee-flavored... probably something fancy like Jave Chip Frappuccino from Starbucks. XD ]

Attention all Westerberg High students.

Exams are today, so I expect some of you will be studying at the last minute. However, should your cramming move to the library, allow me to remind you of some rules. I trust your adherence to them will be less lack-luster than your study habits.

• Do not run.


• Do not mark in books.


• Do not throw books.


• Do not make noise.


• Do not eat in the library.


• Do not move furniture.


• Do not sleep in the library.


• Do not smoke.


• Do not use cellphones.

I will enforce these rules, should the need arise.

[OOC; Demon librarian!Dante get. She will be luuu~uurking around the bookshelves for a while because libraries are srs bznss. Pretend this was earlier? School ate me D: Bruce, Olivier = Oliver = Oliver Twist. And Spark notes are for Roy. 8D Good joke. Everyone laugh. Roll on snare drum. /plagiarizes Alan Moore]

Dinosaurs, I see... and in more species than I have read about in books in my own world. How interesting.

I do wonder if you will return, Mustang... We had such a lovely chat earlier.

[Private to Kimblee // unhackable]

I think it's time we talked about the differences in our worlds, Crimson. I can only assume that accounts for your abilities during that curse...

It seems our vices have gotten the better of us today. Humans are usually controlled by their sins, but they rarely personify them like this. That is left to monsters and homunculi...

Superbia, avaritia, luxuria, invidia, gula, ira, acedia... They are all so beautiful terrible, aren't they?

Ah, Colonel Mustang, I don't think we've been properly introduced. I must apologize, however. I found myself thoroughly cursed some few weeks ago--I hope I didn't distress you.

[OOC; asdflakfsjdfdsfdaf fail!mun is fail, so tags may be slow? *flail*]

Mustang as well.... He could cause problems. I'll have to watch him.

Resolutions? I suppose I ought to resolve to read more... or perhaps to meet more people. It seems I never have enough time, even in a place like this.

[Filtered to Kimblee // unhackable]

Tch... You are an insolent thing, aren't you? Keeping humans is far too much trouble. You're more familiar with the Underground than I--find an appropriate place to meet me.

( private // unhackable )

Visions from the future today... not uncommon in the City, but interesting nonetheless.

Ah, Hiyori, I do appreciate the gift, only regret I have nothing in exchange. I know little of this holiday's customs.

[OOC; She's a misanthrope, so the only person getting a gift from her is dear only minion Kimblee... because the military dog needs a new pocketwatch, engraved with very familiar crescent moon and sun symbols. >.>]

In foure Elements is comprehended things Three,

It's too bright--itches...

Animalls, Vegetabills, Mineralls must be,
Of this is our Principle that we make our Stone...

Still too bright... Where is--

[Filtered to Kimblee // unhackable]

You're returning soon? Focus.

[OOC; Well, she was already rotting... Class C type here, with the paranoia and hallucinations setting in. She's reciting alchemy stuff in attempt to keep her sanity, and camping out as Cassagioso with dear minion Kimblee. >.>]

A strange curse, but certainly not the strangest.

As for the recent epidemic, I have been apprentice to a skilled pharmacist. Though I am likely among betters, I will give what assistance I can.

[Filtered to Aizen // unhackable]

Enough with agents and pawns. Let's speak directly and clear up this matter.

A whole year now, isn't it? How odd.

I must admit this year's masquerade was far more enjoyable than the previous.

( Private // unhackable )

Last week's curse was so very familiar, wasn't it, Hohenheim? I hope you thought of me....

Another blood-soaked battlefield, though this one is far tamer than those of the past.

Perhaps this October will not be as volatile as last year's. How odd, to be here nearly a year.

[Filtered to Envy]

What about you, Envy? These games seem a good outlet to flex your skills, don't you think?

Unless you're bored already.

Such an odd curse. I do hope you're affected, my darling....

Inspired by fairytales again, it seems. The City does enjoy twisting stories to its own purposes. Almost beautiful, in a way.

In any case, it's interesting to see how many of us are liars, isn't it?

[Filtered to Kimblee]

A gift, Crimson? I found it at my door this afternoon.

[OOC; Links are not IC. And Hawkeye? Not filtered from you this time~]

... At least our waterlines aren't polluted by alchohol.

[Filtered away from Hawkeye, Mustang, Elric, and Rockbell // unhackable]

Such deplorable science. I can only be grateful that alchemy was not defaced during the curse. Creating such monsters is an evil work.

[Filtered to Kimblee // viewable to Envy // unhackable]

I assume you were planning to explain this, correct?
