[ ROOMMATE WANTED ]

I did consider simply moving into a one bedroom apartment, but that's an awful lot of books to move, and even Ciro can't always keep the ticking at bay. He's started to get braver by wandering outside more and more at night.

There are few rules. Don't leave a mess, don't be loud, and stay punctual with rent. It's a nice enough two-bedroom apartment in Building 1, though it's slightly cluttered. I'll need to box up Franca's things... You'll need to be able to like cats.


[ OOC; orz, I just realized he hadn't posted all month. Oops. I srsly need to make him do more. Saying this is after the curse starts, but he's unaffected, since he's been humiliated enough recently. ]

...People are acting insane now that they're anonymous. I suppose most of it's harmless, but threats...? That's as bad as mail without a return address.

Hopefully this doesn't last longer than a day. It's very inconvenient.

I recall this curse taking place before. I still don't understand it. Such awful spelling and lots of cats! Ciro seems very interested in the computer screen, though. He keeps pawing at the pictures of cats...

[ OOC: YES I AM STILL ON HIATUS but so much has happened he had to post. ...And this curse is too effing hilarious to pass up the lolcats. ]

It seems like only officers of the law were affected by today's curse? It was a little rowdier than usual, but I didn't notice anything too serious. Still, it's a little unsettling when you can't even trust an authority figure, isn't it?

I guess I don't look that suspicious, since nobody really bothered me while I was out. Though knowing Edward, he probably picked a fight with one of them or something. If so, I'm not bailing you out!

Oh thank goodness for having regular clothes again...and not having sand everywhere. And some humidity. That air was much too dry. Those outfits also seemed utterly ridiculous.

Has anyone seen Ishida? This just seems like an awfully long time for someone to keep to themselves. He's not...gone, is he?

( Edward || Unhackable )

Has anyone in Building 1 seen Ciro? He's a small white cat and he's incredibly skittish. He didn't react very well to all of those scarecrows everywhere.

The music's so lovely... Who's playing it?


[ OOC: Verily affected and wandering forth! ]

( Private || Unhackable )

To the friends of Franca and Meme...they're both gone. Be sure to wish them the best.

As for the outbreaks of disease...I'm sorry to those affected. I really hope this is just another one of those curses that is lasting longer than normal. I wouldn't put it past the City to play it's ridiculous pranks on us in this way. Like that last entry of mine...was that a curse, too?

While it was enlightening to learn something about potions and broom handling, I'm glad to be back in the apartment again. Ciro seems to have fended well enough for himself, but then again the absence was only for a day. He's getting better at taking care of himself. Unlike me. Seriously, do I have a death wish or something?

Speaking of apartments... Franca, Meme, how are you two doing sharing that room? You need to stop hogging the kitty at night. I get lonely, you know! If you're getting tired of it, I really wouldn't mind looking for a bigger place, especially since I'm starting to run out of extra space for bookcases. I'm certain I could afford a three bedroom apartment, since your rent is already paid for. Even though I only work at a dead-end job that's an insult to my superior intelligence. What do you say?

Ah, Edward, how are you feeling? Considering I totally spanked your ass, your pride's probably as good as flushed down the toilet~! Your cooking skills aren't as awful as I feared, honestly. Been taking lessons from your brother, or did it finally click that cooking is just an edible science?

[ OOC; Filters hacked by Ed. I tried to keep away from the malicious or SUPER emo stuff, since I don't think Ed would be the type to dig that up. ]

So you're...

A snow leopard.

And you...talk.

Like it's hardly even close to the oddest thing you've seen since arriving here.

I guess not. Not really. Franca, if you see a large cat in the apartment, don't panic. She's friendly. ...I think.

Verian. A pleasure.

Franca is back! I feel so selfish, but I'm glad to see her again. Meme, I hope you two can get along. Franca was saying you two can share a room, but I think it would be better to consider getting a bigger apartment. Maybe we can start looking after my next paycheck, hm?

I heard people are disappearing? I hope nobody's being hurt.

I believe that was one of the most light-hearted and hilarious curses I've ever seen. I can only imagine how insane it would have been had I gone outside. Cirucci was probably one of the funniest mothers I've

Meme, would you help me with dinner tonight? I'm well enough to cook now, but I could always use a little helper.

...Why am I in the hospital? Cirucci, I told you to get... I don't need to be here. There's nothing anybody can do.

Meme? Are you all right? You're home alone, aren't you?


[ OOC: Thanks to this, he's too weak to properly move on his own just yet. Cirucci was too petty to call Edward and she wasn't sure where he lived so she just dumped Alfons at the hospital. And he's totally cursed but unaware of it. Fun times. ]

This is ridiculous. I guess this is to make up for how seemingly harmless the last curse was. The last time there was a curse like this, I

Meme, don't go outside. Please tell me everyone's all right? If only Miss Jeane was still here I could borrow some scrolls from the shop.

Ah, it's strange being a waiter. It's degrading interesting. But I suppose the tips are nice, and I get a discount on one meal a day. Meme, I have a feeling I'll be bringing home Italian food a lot from now on... I hope you don't get sick of it. Although you hardly seem to eat as much as you should, anyway.

At least I finally got the apartment in order! I think I need to install more shelves for the books... It's really getting out of control. But Faye, if you still wanted help with your apartment, I don't really mind.

Kimblee, if you still want to have a talk over coffee, I suppose I'm free tomorrow. I'm only giving you an hour and then I'm leaving, though.

That was a strange curse to return to. I hope nobody's hurt from it? Some people were acting so strangely, and what with all the spy equipment everywhere... It really was like a movie.

Well, Meme, I'm sorry we haven't found anyone you know yet. You don't seem too upset about it, though. Until Franca returns, I'm sure she won't mind you using her room. I'm sorry the place is so dusty and cluttered. I need to clean it up.

I need to go out and find a new job pretty soon, and drop by the grocery store on the way back... Are you going to be all right on your own? Is there anything you want me to pick up?

[ Voice Transmission Start ]

[sound of a door creaking, followed by footsteps]

Franca? ...Franca?

[a pause]

Not here. Is she at work? Or did she go home? Judging by the dust...

[a light cough, then another pause]

Hm? What's——

[ Voice Transmission End ]


Well that was strange. It looks like my apartment was wired, like something out of one of those James Bond movies I saw. What happened while I was gone?

I thought I'd just been asleep, but...it's been more than a day, hasn't it?

Well that was an adventure. Our power completely blew yesterday for some reason. I don't know if Ciro messed with the wires or what, but nothing was working, including our computers. Franca and I had to spend all day figuring it out. Thank goodness for the research I'd done since arriving here or we would have had to pay for a repairman.

I hope everyone else had better luck. Did I miss anything important?
