If you've lived here for a while, you probably understand what's going on as much as any of us can understand the things that happen in the City. If you're newly arrived, either today or within the past month or two, this is probably more confusing.

There is a high probability that this is a two-day curse. People who have arrived today will likely leave after Sunday night. There's a history of this kind of curse in network postings if you go back far enough.

What I'm saying is that if there are people you don't want to see who have just popped up, they'll probably be gone soon and you can breathe a sigh of relief. If there are people here you want to see, make the best of this time, because I'm sorry to say it's probably limited.

This guy: [link] is a few fries short of a happy meal. Just walk the other way if you see him and contact the police force.

Text Addendum 2
This guy: [link] isn't my favorite person when he isn't turning into a screaming beast apparently intent on eating me. If you run into him, it might be him, and that's enough reason to avoid him, and it might be this (link to a screencap from this conversation) and you really want to avoid that.

It counts as much as you want it to. It's just not on the menu for me. [Curses don't count, and he'd really like to just block out those occasions from existence.]

That must be very difficult. Frankly, I'm not sure I could deal with that.

It gets easier with time but I wouldn't wish it on anyone else.

...is this not a choice, then?

No, I haven't taken some vow of celibacy, joined a Catholic order, or contracted a contagious disease.

You are making it really difficult right now, you know.

Probably. What am I making difficult?

You know, if this is one of those "woe is me, I'm not really a human," things... well. I'm not human, either.

What happens when you lose your temper? Or when you get too excited when you're kissing someone you care about?

Once I put a python in my boyfriend's pants when he tried to take an appletini away from me. [A beat.] And there was this time I threw up an octopus on him, too. Well. Octopi.

Then I think my "woe is me" wins.

He later was burnt alive.

Because you lost your temper?

Because I exist.

Then we're both screwed. Or not as the case may be. I can't not exist and I can't make my condition unhappen, but I can avoid some of the triggers. That's not "woe is me" that's just trying to get things balanced. That's your thing, I thought. Balance.

There's no consequence in being frank, now. Magic has a price and the price is my personal life. I don't kill people. Not really. I'm just drawn to people that will have awful things happen to them. That is balance.

And you're very secretive about your whole deal.

I turn into a an enormous green manifestation of my rage. Good enough? Eight feet tall, over half a ton of pure muscle, and the vast majority of the intellect - the thing that makes me me - goes away.

That's my deal.

Not good, no.

But if that's the only weird thing about you, you can still take me out before I disappear.

You're a confusing woman, and I wish I could, but bad guys and things and stuff. It's not a good time to leave Bobby and her sister alone.

I once dated a guy who was seven feet tall, weighed about four hundred pounds, and smelled like brimstone. He was blue. Maybe I'm just used to weird things.

So, does this mean you want me to strike that guy? I could. Consider me your fairy godmother for the weekend. Your fairy beat-'em-up mother.

[Only seven feet?]

Strike? I'm guessing you don't mean give him a good dueling slap in the face.

[He got taller and slightly more handsome over the years, okay!!]

I was thinking I might start off with that. Keep the aces in my sleeves, so to speak.

I'd pay to see that. I'd sell it on pay-per-view.

It was an offer, but if you're going to throw money at me, I'll take it.

I don't have any greenbacks for you to take with you when you go.
