Yesterday was... very embarassing weird. I guess that's my first mind-altering curse? It was nice to have a sister while it lasted, though. I've never had a sister. Now that I think about it, Kurogane-san really does look like my father from home.

I hope nothing too bad happened to anyone who was affected yesterday.

I think I'm going to see if I can get the caretakers to let me cook something. I haven't in a long time and it'd be nice to.

...You hungry?

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

I am, and I missed dinner here since I was out and affected by this curse. But I think they'll let me cook something since that's a valid reason.

[nico-oniichan.livejournal.com]

...I was gonna make somethin', so if you're hungry, I could run somethin' by.

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

...Really? I didn't know Wolfwood-san cooked!

[nico-oniichan.livejournal.com]

I can. I just.. Don't usually, I guess.

Uh, what kinda stuff do you like?

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

I guess that makes sense.

Mm... I like anything really. OH! I really do like noodles!

[nico-oniichan.livejournal.com]

...Really?

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

Mhm!

[nico-oniichan.livejournal.com]

All right.

I was thinkin' 'bout makin' kitsune udon. Ever had that?

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

My brother made that once! It was really good!

[arrogantfanfare.livejournal.com]

I don't think I've had the pleasure of meeting you yet. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Kline.

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

Hello, Kline-san! I'm Hikaru. No, I haven't spoken to you before.

[arrogantfanfare.livejournal.com]

What a beautiful name. You know, if you ever need food, I'd be happy to cook for you.

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

Thank you. And... Thank you? I'm used to cooking for my brothers and myself, so it's really no big deal.

[arrogantfanfare.livejournal.com]

There is a certain satisfaction of eating what you worked hard over, I'll admit. However, free food is useful too. Let me know whenever you're interested.

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

Mm, there is, yes. And thank you, Kline-san. I'll remember that.

[arrogantfanfare.livejournal.com]

You're rather welcome.

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

...Have there been curses like this before?

[arrogantfanfare.livejournal.com]

Sadly, yes. It's pretty bad sometimes.

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

Hm. I haven't been here long enough to really see them. There was one that one day with everyone trying to be 'the one', but it seemed like the orphanage wasn't affected by it.

[arrogantfanfare.livejournal.com]

I missed out on that one too. We must be pretty lucky, huh?

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

I guess so. After I heard what was happening, I was really happy we weren't caught up in it.

[arrogantfanfare.livejournal.com]

Violence isn't really that fun even though some people love it. But, you know, sometimes curses are fun.

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

I think training is good for the body and mind, but senseless violence and killing is wrong. I've seen some really fun curses, though, you're right.

[arrogantfanfare.livejournal.com]

There was a curse where I was a woman once. Wow, what an odd day but it was fun!

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

...A curse that changed gender?

[arrogantfanfare.livejournal.com]

Odd, right? But fun!

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

I don't think I could have handled that one very well.

[arrogantfanfare.livejournal.com]

But you have brothers, right? I'm sure you would have done just fine.

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

They aren't here, though. They're back home.

[arrogantfanfare.livejournal.com]

Sorry. But at least you have siblings, right? I don't have any.

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

...I'm sorry. That must be really lonely sometimes...

[arrogantfanfare.livejournal.com]

It's not a problem. I have friends to help me out so it's okay, right?

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

That's wonderful! Friends can become just like siblings. Umi and Fuu back home are like sisters to me.

[arrogantfanfare.livejournal.com]

Maybe you'll see them someday here.

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

I hope so.

[quackingly.livejournal.com]

I've never had a sister, either! It really was sort of nice...

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

It was. I'm glad I got to experience it, even if it was just a curse.

[quackingly.livejournal.com]

Mm. Although most everything else I'd rather forget...

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

...Something bad happened, Ahiru-san?

[quackingly.livejournal.com]

Yeah...sorta. I was just...different.

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry... It's not causing problems now, is there? I mean... It was a curse, so... It wasn't really your fault...

[quackingly.livejournal.com]

Oh no, I know! I mean....I think he understands....

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

I'm sure he will, as long as you believe in each other.

[quackingly.livejournal.com]

...Mm! We can do that...we've been through too much together to not believe in each other.

[redstrength.livejournal.com]

Then I know you'll both be okay.

[quackingly.livejournal.com]

Yeah.
