Quest 114

[Private//Hackable by Friends]

Please, please, don't let everything be ruined...

Everyone always says that October is the worst month of all, in this place. I rather wonder if it isn't August, instead.

Hiding isn't going to solve anything. If anything, it'll just make things worse, in the end. I know that all too well... And in any case, even if it could help somehow, it's not as though I can hide forever...

No, stop that. Stop that, they're my friends and I trust them and it was--just a curse.

It was just a curse.

You can't hold it against someone, not if it's just a curse. It won't be like last time. It won't. It's different now. They know me. They know I'm--it's different.

It'll be all right. I'll just be calm and straightforward and honest and sensible, and it'll be all right. That'll work. Just calm and sensible and we'll just shrug it off and look back on it someday and laugh, oh, how silly, crashing into each other, wasn't that a ridiculous curse? And that's all. It'll be all right.

How many times will I need to write it before I believe it? How many times until it comes true? It'll be all right, it'll be all right, it'll be all right. One, two, three, good things come in threes, too. Don't they?

Be careful what you wish for, Rosella.

Well. That was certainly...a curse I've never seen before.

This one, though--yes, I recall this one. We had it last year, didn't we? When all the little flying monsters came and tried to pull out our teeth. I seem to recall I spent the whole day with a scarf tied around my mouth, in the hopes of deterring the little beasts. But now it seems they're back again, and just as annoying as ever, after all. But annoying as they are, I can't seem to bring myself to shoot arrows at them or swat at them with the frying pan or even just attempt to hit them with the door. I'd rather not lose any teeth to them, thank you very much, but I do wish they'd leave me alone without my having to harm them.

...I wonder if I couldn't lay a trap for them, though. Something they'd stick to, perhaps, and a few teeth to work as bait? Like catching flies with honey. That might be something to consider, I suppose.

Or I could go ride Valor, if I wanted to avoid them. I'm certain I could outmatch them if I were riding, even if they are able to fly. He's a fast horse. I could manage it, I'm sure.

I could even go for a walk, really, so long as I kept my mouth shut and protected from the fairies. I know Sam has there's one of those helmets around here somewhere, the kind you're meant to wear when you ride around on a Vespa. I could go for a walk and wear that, and they'd never be able to get at my mouth at all. It'd be just like that day when the mistletoe made us--

Well.

Then again, maybe it'd be better if I just...stayed put today.
