 [ When the feed clicks on.. Curtis is soaked.  He looks pretty pissed about it, too, as his eyes focus to the dark cloud above him. Rain continues to fall down on him as his glare hardens. Some people were going to find this so funny; he probably should have chosen audio. ]

I don't know what the fuck it is, but if anyone can tell me how to make it stop I'd appreciate it.  [ And he continues to stare up, almost hopefully, before shaking his head and running his hand down his face.

His wet hand. Down his wet face.

It isn't as productive as he'd hoped it would be. ]

I wanted to ask about jobs in this place.  Is there a bar or... anything.. that's hiring?

[ It's  d i s t r a c t i n g. ]

[[ ooc; find a rainbow event! ]]

.. sorry. [ He's getting used to her. ]

You ain't never met Alisha, have you?

[likeboudica]

It is no trouble.

I think that I may have talked to her, once. She seemed very nice.

[mrbackwards]

She is, but I should have asked her before just taking her stuff. She's no fun to deal with when she ain't happy.

[likeboudica]

Surely she will forgive you after a while, if you apologise.

[mrbackwards]

Not sure how long that while'll be.

[likeboudica]

[ Her smile is almost cheeky. ] At least you will be able to read while you wait for the time to pass.

[mrbackwards]

[ He pauses and smiles, and he's about to say something actually kind of optimistic and nice but..

This big rainbow-halo replaces the cloud above his head and he just kind of has to stare at it. ]

What. The fuck.

[likeboudica]

[ Tessa giggles, no other word for it. ] Did you not know that this is how the curse works?

[mrbackwards]

This is a really fucked up curse. [ He'll tone down the fucks soon. After he's done staring & processing this. ]

[likeboudica]

It represents how you feel.

[mrbackwards]

I ain't feeling that happy. [ That isn't what the rainbow says, Curtis. ]

[likeboudica]

I think sunshine may be happiness.

[mrbackwards]

Then what's the fucking rainbow about?

[likeboudica]

[ tilting her head. ] I'm not sure. How do you feel?

[mrbackwards]

Confused. [ As the dark cloud starts to reemerge. ]

[likeboudica]

[ Hand going for her umbrella. ] Probably not the same feeling.

[mrbackwards]

What do you mean? [ Drizzle, drizzle, drizzle. He's hiding his face in in his arms that are folded on the table now. ]

Fuck off.

[likeboudica]

[ Opening the umbrella. She's still smiling, though. ] Why do you swear so much? [ Genuinely curious, not judging. ]

[mrbackwards]

[ He tilts his head up so his chin is rested on his arms and he's looking up to her. ]

Didn't mean to.

[likeboudica]

I do not mind it so much. It is just that it's something that is not done, in my time. [ At least not in the higher society, or so she imagines. ]

[mrbackwards]

Guess it's more common in my time, or at least where I'm from. Grew up around it, got used to it, grew up and used it.

[likeboudica]

Where are you from? [ Ever curious, that's Tessa. ]

[mrbackwards]

England. [ Don't ask which part :| ]

[likeboudica]

I have only seen London, and not much of it.

[mrbackwards]

Where're you from?
