Second Dream | audio (cursed)

As I understand
My current problems speaking
Are due to a curse

This is annoying
I despise bad poetry
Especially mine

I have to wonder
With a good amount of fear
How long this will last

[Yep, Ren's got the haiku curse for the weekend]

Oh, that's wonderful!
I hope you'll let others play.
It looks exciting.

[ Not cursed, just - as always - enjoying other people's pain. But he does have a weakness for poetry, particularly when there's a strong punchline. (Other people are usually the punchline). ]

I am the curse, dear.
Humanity's gift: rhythm
And with some luck, rhyme.

For example:
There once was a lass from Orion
Who was paid once to sleep with a lion
She took his right paw
And by dawn was quite sore
And she now only sleeps with the light on.

How very dare you!
I gave Shakespeare his best lines
I will have you know.

Eloquent haiku
Hardly translate well either.
It's the thought that counts.

Omnipotence rules.
Humility is for chumps.
No point fighting it.

Really, the thing is--
With universal constants;
Nobody is surprised.

Difficult to hurt
A creature who doesn't care.
I'm above it all.

If you need employ
These catch twenty-two tactics
You broadcast defeat.

I've infinite worlds
Infinite universes
At my disposal

Who needs to linger
In search of praise here or there
With such potential?

Unfortunately
As pitiful as it sounds,
I am also trapped.

I care. Unlike you
I'm not cursed to this rhyming.
I stop when I like.

[He has been afflicted with the Tell A Story Curse.]

His white ears twitched at the sound of the poetry. Yes, it was bad, but he had heard worse. There had been several orphans he'd taken in over the years who dabbled in poetry. Some of them had even gone so far as to turn them into songs for the goddess.

Ah, but that was the past.

He had planned on answering her because of her worries about how long it would last. In truth, the dragon himself was worried. Yes, he had always liked to talk but narrating everything had quickly grown annoying.

"Hopefully not long," he said with some chagrin.

He let out a soft sigh of irritation.

"Yeah," he answered with some annoyance. It was annoying him to have to do all of this. If it's not over soon, I'm going to bite something, he thought, tapping a hind paw in irritation.

"And I'll be glad when it's over," he said. He probably would take a day off from talking after this.

[ These curses are getting weirder, and Pitch hasn't even been here that long. ]

I daresay it's not that much fear. You could stand to put out a little more.

Well, we could always drum some up, regardless.

[ He sounds maybe just a little too willing to help out with that. ]
