? MARUKI CURSE

[enteloki]

I have my doubts it's only me.

[ He just can't. Prove. It's happening to other people yet. ]

And I wasn't ever out of sorts.

Your loss was only felt due to the sudden lack of manpower. A number of others could have replaced you in time.

[placation]

Whatever you say, Akechi.

What did you break?

[enteloki]

A cup.

We have very few remaining, for the record.

[placation]

Maybe I should wish for some plastic children's cups and plates for you to use until you get out of this clumsy phase.

[enteloki]

[ Alright asshole. ]

I'm not clumsy. I won't repeat myself again.

We need to investigate what's happening.

[placation]

Alright, alright.

Do you have any hypotheses?

[enteloki]

The Moon is causing it.

[placation]

[ oh my fucking god ]

You can't be serious.

[enteloki]

Why wouldn't I be?

She often has a habit of doing shit like this and targeting our home in particular would be fitting.

[ What's that sound? Is it the Moon?

Nah, it's another item shattering. ♥ ]

[placation]

Well, I suppose that begs the question... do these things only happen to you in the house? Or have you experienced bad luck elsewhere too?

[enteloki]

[enteloki]

It seems most concentrated in the house.

However, I have experienced, on occasion, poor luck in town.

[placation]

I might need some examples to further assist you.

[enteloki]

Do you think I'm stupid?

You don't need to know specifics.

[placation]

I can ask your adoring fans instead, if you prefer that.

1/2

[enteloki]

[enteloki]

I'll call your bluff.

The second you step outside your fans will swarm you. You'll be overwhelmed before you get to mine.

[placation]

Is that some kind of backhanded compliment...?

[enteloki]

When have I ever given compliments in such a way? That's not how I operate.

I'm only stating an obvious flaw in your plan.

[placation]

I'm not so sure. I've gotten quite adept at placating my fans so they'll let me go about my business.

Besides that, though... there's a significant overlap between our groups of fans.

[enteloki]

I can't deny that. It baffles me, frankly. Given how different we are, and the people we attract due to that, they should be far more divided.

1/2

[placation]

I don't know. From the literature I've seen around the convention, they seem to enjoy the concept of opposites attracting...

[placation]

[ Give him a second to reread what he sent. ]

To be clear, there's not literature like that about us! Not that I've seen, anyway. I'd hope not.

[enteloki]

[ Oh GOD. ]

I would put nothing past these creatures. If one is shown to you, don't pay it any attention. They thrive on your praise. If you don't give it, they'll likely stop.

Or so I hope.

[placation]

I don't give them praise for any of the things they draw! Some of what I've seen...

Well, it's better if we don't talk about it.
