Rebirth Height 7 - Orb 2

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

I... need some help.

[ Dark's face is bruised and grumpy. Clearly he isn't happy about needing to ask for help. ]

This isn't like anything I've seen before, and my powers aren't what they usually are.

[ That actually bothers him about as much as random women throwing things at him. ]

Do any of you guys have experience with curses?

Maybe that was enough.

[His reputation might be spreading. ]

What makes you think that was a curse?

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

It kept happening, no matter where I went!

[ His poor reputation... ]

[give_kitty_cake]

Stay in the castle until people forget about it?

It doesn't sound like any curse I have heard of before.

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

Until they forget about what? Nothing like this happened before I got the stupid rock.

[give_kitty_cake]

What rock?
If it is a curse then an object you came into contact with recently might have caused it to attach to you.

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

This gemstone the crazy chaos lady gave me in New Haven.

[give_kitty_cake]

[Maybe it was a curse after all... ]

You shouldn't carry the gemstone around with you. I can't tell what kind of curse it is over the Orb like this, but its too dangerous to be in contact with a cursed object.

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

I left it in my room. Like I said, normally curses are easy for me, but there's something strange about this one.

[give_kitty_cake]

What have you done to try and break the curse?

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

A couple of spells, the usual stuff.

[give_kitty_cake]

Then you might need a miko. I don't know if there are any around here, but a purifying spell might be the only way to end that curse.

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

A miko, huh? I haven't seen any temples around, but I guess it's worth a look.

[give_kitty_cake]

I haven't seen a temple or shrine here either but they might have something similar, a priest or some kind of holy person?

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

The architecture around here seems pretty Western, maybe there's a church in town.

[give_kitty_cake]

That might work, or maybe one of the 'wizards' here has holy powers.

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

Could be. Doesn't sound like anyone I've talked to so far, but it's worth checking out.

[give_kitty_cake]

How did you find this cursed gemstone anyway?

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

It was given to me by the woman we met in West Haven.

[give_kitty_cake]

You met some one during that silly trip?

[Koma of course had not gone so she knew nothing of the trip. ]

I'm not surprised that is was a woman.

[Dark must have offended some one after all. ]

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

[ It's not his fault she finds flirting offensive! ]

A scion of chaos. The whole town was just a lure.

[give_kitty_cake]

[It is funny though. ]

Maybe if you just apologized she would remove the curse?

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

I'll have to find her first.

[give_kitty_cake]

Post a note on the bulletin board? Most people seem to get their information from there.

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

I don't think scions of chaos check the bulletin board in town.
