When people are talking about curses, they're talking about all that mess that happened Saturday and Sunday. Got it. I do have a question though, does it happen to everyone? Is there any person here that hasn't had a curse happen to them?

One more thing, I guess I need a job. Anybody hiring? My name is Roman Godfrey. I don't do windows. I don't like kids. I shouldn't work weekends. If I ever go back I am going to graduate. All my references are back home too. What a problem this is.

And just what is it you do do?

[saturniapavonia]

I don't know. I haven't tried.

[indecent_butterfly]

Rather useless but honest. Can you cook?

[had_not_lived]

I think everyone is cursed sometimes, but most people aren't cursed every time. Some people are luckier than others.

[saturniapavonia]

So everyone at least once.

[How optimistic does that sound?]

[had_not_lived]

I think so. I had a friend who was almost never cursed, but even he had one or two...

How are you with cars? Or working in restaurants? I could talk to my bosses.

[saturniapavonia]

I drive cars. Manual and stick.

[That's not the same.]

Work in restaurants?

[His tone alone sounds a little scandalized.]

[Mentally facepalming again.]

How well do you think you'd be able to learn to fix cars?

And yes. Restaurants. Doing delivery orders. Which basically means driving food to people and bringing the money back to the store. It's what I'm doing on weekends. Weekdays, I'm learning about cars.

What is your age?

[saturniapavonia]

Seventeen.

[valentineluke]

There's a City stipend for minors. I believe the cutoff age is eighteen.

As far as I know, everyone gets hit eventually but not every time. I wasn't cursed this weekend.

I own a bath and body shop. Not sure it's your style, but hey. Offer is there. Besides, I think pretty boys in my store make for good business. At least it makes my day better.

[saturniapavonia]

Does anyone know why they happen at all? It's like a retarded earthquake.

...Oh yeah? I'll keep it in mind. I mean I'm told I get money as a minor or whatever. But I actually want to live and have fun too.

[...Live like a Godfrey he means....]

[lefthandedgenius]

Hey, thanks for helping me the other day.

You must have been nearby, right? How far away were you?

[saturniapavonia]

Wasn't like I thought it'd be a good idea to leave you there.

[Shit, she was terrified.]

Sort of? I mean there must have been an echo or I dunno. Maybe a block or two? Not that far. It's a fucking small city.

[Downplaying what is p much not logical. Yeeeep.]

You cool now?

[coyote_walking]

I can always use help at the magic store.

[saturniapavonia]

Hocus pocus magic or Siegfried and Roy?

[recognize_an_opportunity]

Any experience working in casinos?

[saturniapavonia]

No.

But that sounds cool.

[anunluckypenny]

There used to be these people called the deities who kind of ran the show. I don't think they were ever cursed. Then again, I don't know if they were regular people or what.

How's the job search going?

[saturniapavonia]

They weren't deities from the sound of it. ...You think they knew something everyone else didn't?

...It's going. I think I might have something. Say. Is it true that you can get a place and the City fronts you for a month? I mean, you've been real cool letting me stay and everything.

[brobeforehos]

Somehow I doubt there's a single person around who's been safe of the curses, so take it as an omen or a lesson on...future possibilities.

[saturniapavonia]

"Look at me, Damien. It's all for you." Not that kind of Omen. I take it.

How does everyone just deal?

[No response]
