Avast-oh, goshdarnit-

Uh, hi! I'm Katstros, I go by Kat, and I'm A's (yes, the lady) personal assistant and resident anonymous intern and I'm here to tell you scurvy bilgerats - darn it - I mean you Cityzens that we found a curse and the pressure is building so be prepared! We can't see the details, except that they've had me excavating the thing for the past day and it feels all salty.

Oh, as part of the preparation thing, you'll notice that there are going to be these bubbles - Tristero knows the details, he and Deacon set it up, it's so cool seriously, and if you get in one before the curse goes off then you're safe from the curse! They'll be in front of a couple of buildings, but keep an eye out because if you don't get to them in time they won't work. Also, you may need to give up a sense or a memory to go into them....but that effect should go away once you leave, but then you might end up cursed anyway. Anyway um.

Oh, A wanted me to read this:

We are very sorry for the inconvenience. We're trying our best to get this system stabilized, please forgive the release of curse pressure.

Oh, and something about how we need you - I can't read her handwriting - so yeah!

[A click like someone tried to turn off his Network Device]

Oh man my own Network Device, yesss-what do you mean, still on? Oh, darnit!

[And a click, it's off now]

You okay, guy?

I dunno why she thinks we need an intern. I mean, we're not a corporation. We're a collective. But, whatever, right?

Thanks for putting the word out, man.

[willworkforexperience]

Yeah, I'm fine!

Well, I mean, I said I would, and I don't think you have to be a corporation to have free labor-

[But oh my god now he's beaming]

Thanks.

I mean, you're welcome!

[el_desheredado]

So you're like a voluntary intern. Okay.

[Youthful enthusiasm...]

Don't give yourself a fit, man. I think we need you too. And I've got domes to wrangle.

[willworkforexperience]

Good luck!

The effect 'should' go away?

There's no 100% guarantee?

private;

[willworkforexperience]

Well, I'm pretty sure the only thing that's 100% is death and taxes....

private;

[mortemscintilla]

The City doesn't feature those, either.

private;

[willworkforexperience]

Actually I did find paperwork for both, but yeah, no, 100% isn't exactly something we're all that together with, here. We don't want to lie.

[mortemscintilla]

[ Paperwork. Hisssss. ]

Why is it necessary to give up a sense or memory to enter these buildings?

Unless it's a fee for services rendered?

private;

[willworkforexperience]

No, no, it's just the only way we can keep them steady. I think. Maybe. I'm just the messenger.

private;

[mortemscintilla]

An unpaid messenger?

[ Yes, this matters. ]

private;

[willworkforexperience]

Well, I am an intern.

private;

[mortemscintilla]

[ You poor child. ]

Just why does a seemingly benign collective need interns?

private;

[willworkforexperience]

Be....cause I volunteered?

private;

[mortemscintilla]

[ ... ]

[ You poor, poor, poor child. ]

Fancying up your resume?

private;

[willworkforexperience]

Look, transdimensional positions are really hard to get, okay?

private;

[mortemscintilla]

I can imagine.

[ But. Back to business. ]

How soon will these safety-bubbles be up?

private;

[willworkforexperience]

Right before the curse! We can guarantee that much.

private;

[mortemscintilla]

I see.

[ Welp. Time to go find his little sister and haul her into the bubble by midnight. ]

I'll let you get back to admiring your Network Device.
