Rebirth Height 7 - Orb 2

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?

You wanna take this rock off my hands?

[sorcerous]

No.

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

You-!!

Why don't you go bother someone else then?

[sorcerous]

Pardon me; I had thought you wanted an answer to your question.

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

I wanted help, you jackass!

[sorcerous]

You have been cursed by one you slighted. Had you not slighted her in the first place, you would not be cursed.

It is little wonder that none want to bear responsibility for your mistake.

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

I'm not asking them to.

[sorcerous]

Then I will give you my advice.

In my time, in the curses I have cast and the ones that have afflicted me, I find that the best way to rid yourself of one is to repent. She cast it for a reason. Ask her forgiveness, and perhaps she will lift it.

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

How the heck am I supposed to find her? I don't think she'll come just because I ask nicely/

[sorcerous]

What she gave you is connected to her.

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

I don't think a summoning will help my "I'm sorry" case.

[sorcerous]

How about an invitation?

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

I'd have to find a way to talk to her first, doofus.

[sorcerous]

Have you no training?

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

I have experience.

[ In other words, no, he does not. He was trained to steal, dammit! ]

[sorcerous]

I see it serves you well.

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

Usually it does.

[sorcerous]

Then perhaps you lie to yourself as well as me.

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

If I lie to you, it's only because the truth is none of your damn business.

[sorcerous]

Take care. When you lie to yourself, your own mind becomes dangerous to you.

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

Is that advice for me, or yourself?

[sorcerous]

You would be wise to stay your tongue.

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

Oh, looks like I hit a sore spot.

[sorcerous]

I have learned more about deception than you will ever forget.

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

Uh huh. That's great. [ Caring levels at 0%. ]
