Dammit!

[ Li, red-cheeked and flustered, fiddles with his device. ]

...Um, there seem to be alot of curses afoot today. Bad ones. [ More fiddling. His blush deepens. ] Also - I-I think something's wrong here. My device is --

[ Well. You can see for yourself what his device is showing. ]

 

THE SHOCKING TRUTH!!!!

A TALE OF SEX, LIES AND BETRAYAL!

Ladies (and gentlemen who adore the gentlemen), have you ever met this stranger? The one who charms you just by the way he smiles? Everything about him puts your heart at ease. Even when he farts you're endeared rather than disgusted. Maybe you have a taste for danger, but realize that your life could be endangered by this cold-blooded conman!!!
Dozens of women everywhere have been taken in by his lies. He's sabotaged careers, ruined marriages, emptied bank accounts and destroyed lives!!!!
IF YOU SEE HIM, AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! HE IS A SOCIAL PREDATOR WHO WILL EXPLOIT EVERYONE HE MEETS. HE HAS NO HEART, NO CONSCIENCE, NO REMORSE. Don't give him ANY power. Don't let him become a larger-than-life factor in your world.
He's a criminal! Someone please arrest him!
He's a thief of hearts! All he commits are crimes!

[OOC: Hit with Tabloid Trash! The City gets a list of ladies who got tangled up in his business in-canon. Mr. Assassin is PISSED.]

Wow. A real ladykiller.

[mortemscintilla]

Not at all, actually.

[dignity_misery]

What if I don't believe you?

[mortemscintilla]

You'll stop talking to me and start crossing the street to avoid me?

[ Because he thinks you're a nice lady. Not. ]

[dignity_misery]

No, I doubt that.

[You wish.]

[mortemscintilla]

Than you don't believe the curse?

[ Hopeful puppydog. ]

[dignity_misery]

Who are all those women?

[mortemscintilla]

...I'm not so sure.

[ His sister. Yin. His ex-comrades. Amber. ]

[dignity_misery]

That I don't believe.

[mortemscintilla]

It's true!

[dignity_misery]

The city isn't that inventive.

[mortemscintilla]

I disagree.

If it makes toasters talk and personal pictures from your life show up on Network, there's worse things it can do.

[ By which he means your pictures, Carla. ]

[dignity_misery]

It didn't event the toaster or the pictures. They were there and repurposed.

[mortemscintilla]

I'm sure all these ladies are there somewhere too.

I just don't know who they are.

[ Behold the halo on his head. ]

[dignity_misery]

[Nope. Not buying it.]
