[ Having survived her first curse, Alisha feels ... kind of pissed off. Why was she hit and others weren't? She's skimmed the guide she was given and hasn't found much on the subject to quench her curiousity. ]

Alright, so with these curses, is there any particular reason why some people are hit and some are not even touched at all?

I get the bugs. I fucking hate bugs. But mirrors? Kind of up my alley, if I'm honest. [ Her mirror used to live on her person back home. To apply mascara, make-up, check if some creeper was walking behind her. She's not disappointed she's missing out on this one. She's merely curious. ]

Anyone ever been hit by curses continously?

[ She pauses. ] Yeah, the bugs were all in my head. Thanks for, you know, being there, I guess. And I'm sorry if I was a total arse to you. [ Alisha shivers. ] Ugh. I can still feel them on me.

They were bugs. You're allowed to be skeeved out, even if it was just a stupid curse.

As for the curses, it's just random most of the time. Other times, it's flat out City Wide.

[ She appreciates your understanding like you'd never believe, Charlie. ]

What's the City Wide stuff like?

Besides horrible. Kind of got that from the bugs.

There are times when everyone in the City is hit with the same curse. Usually it's one of those environmental or time period kind of things. Or when something seriously bad is going down that even the deities aren't really sure how to contain.

Other times, it's just the luck of the draw.

[awkwards]

[ Do not want time period or environment, thanks. ]

The deities can't even contain? Shit. You mean there's a bigger bad than those dicks?

[adamantined]

[They aren't all bad, but that's just Claire's opinion.]

I guess... when it comes to that kind of thing, bad is relative.

Is anything normal about this place?

[likeboudica.livejournal.com]

As far as I am aware, there is little rhyme or reason to the distribution of curses.

[awkwards]

Have you been hit a lot?

[likeboudica.livejournal.com]

Not unsually often, I should think.

[awkwards]

So the normal dose of curses?

Is there a normal dose?

[signatures]

Could be that some are more prone to their fears than others.

[awkwards]

That's what I was kind of thinking ... since I hate bugs, it kind of made sense that I'd get hit with that. But the mirrors thing ... Maybe these curses just pick those who really hate it?

[signatures]

Really, though, it's not as though anyone here enjoys these things.

Aside from when they're particularly fun.

[awkwards]

They can be fun?

Seriously?

[designedtoparty]

Apology accepted. Try not to do it again.

[Because she was obviously referring to him.]

[awkwards]

What are you talking about?

[ Maybe a little. Okay, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep down, she was.

But not really. Sorry, Nathan. ]

[designedtoparty]

What do you think? You only apologised, like, a minute ago.

[Well, at least she's sorry for that.]

Mirror, mirror, up the wall -
A bug in one, a bug in all.

That's the only rhyme and the only reasons to curses, understand.

[awkwards]

[ ... ] Alright. So everyone's a victim, regardless of whether they're hit or not?

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

Far as I can tell, it's just random. I had a stretch where I got quite a few curses. Some people get cursed with everything.

[awkwards]

Seriously?

Shit. I should be greatful for my blessings, huh?

Were the curses you were hit with, y'know, not exactly the worse kind of curse you can be hit with?

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

[Dean thinks about it a moment, frowning.]

Pretty good mix. Some of them don't suck. I was a hot chick for a day. Some of them sucked a lot. Went to Hell. [He bites off an 'again']

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Yeah the mirrors, not pretty. I'm spending the day outside far away from reflective surfaces.

[awkwards]

You got hit? [ More of her processing the fact that someone she is acquainted with got hit than actually asking. She's glad that Buffy can find a way out of this curse. ]

You alright?

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

I'm doing okay and spending a lot of the day outside. I figure by midnight, I'll be golden and outside is easier than covering the mirrors.
