[Filtered from Known DELILAH Members || Unhackable]It can only be a curse when one wakes to find more than half the City seems to have emptied overnight, and the Network is full about remarks about a ship. So that's where you've all got yourselves: not emptied, but on holiday.
Or, perhaps not.
In reading some of these entries, there seems to an interesting amount of refinement in them. You--some of you--don't sound entirely like yourself. It's rather enjoyable to me. And all your descriptions sound a bit like my own world, quite honestly, and traveling therein.
--All right, I admit, I'm envious, with all this talk of ships, and cabins, and ocean voyages, and proper accommodations, and so on. I might even be a little envious that you're cursed and I'm not if I could have gotten something that was even vaguely like home. One never wants to be cursed, but how unfair that you can see something like my world, and I'm left thirsting and troubled.
Of course, I've seen this curse before. And I do know that, as is often the case with curses, there is more to this than might first appear.
I wonder what might happen if I were to
warn you-- say something about that ship. What would happen to the curse then? Or would you all laugh at me and call me a fool? I doubt any of you even know what I'm saying when I call it a 'curse'. You may already be calling me a madman.
I do recall that the other time I saw this curse, Mr Crehador was in the City and had succeeded in catching hold of a rather rare and valuable violin. He couldn't keep it after the curse, of course, but he did try.
I'd try to gather what I can about the murders--for they are murders--that have been going on in the City of late, but I don't think anyone I'd need to speak to is still here. You're all aboard that ship. I'll do what I can from here, I suppose. I've the Network entries, and I have what I've seen of it.
Riff, are you yet in the City or have you found yourself on this ship as well? I'd much rather hear that you're yet in the City, all things considered. It would be much more convenient for me, if nothing else.
I suppose I'll stay here at the seashore for a while, although I suspect things will only start to happen come evening. And I supposed I see those out too.
I do wish you all a safe journey.

[ooc: Okay, change of plans--sorry! Due to work and all-around busy-ness, Cain is not on the boat. He's seen this curse before. He knows this is not going to end well. He's just watching it all fall apart from the beach now.]
