Quest 132
Well, let's see. The good news is, I managed to make it as far as the Library, unscathed, before realizing what the curse was all about today. The, er, bad news is...well. Here I am, and there's a curse. And it's monsters again.
Is that what it's going to be for the rest of October, then? One ridiculous curse and then one of monsters? It rather has been going every-other, hasn't it--first the fire-starting, then that ridiculous bear, then the eating other people, then everyone growing beards, and now this. Monsters. Turning people into monsters and setting them on each other.
That's two monster curses now, I think, isn't it? The last one and now this one. Which means there ought to be one more coming, still; bad things in threes and all that. Or at least, that's how it would work if the City were Daventry, which it's not, but some things are the same no matter where you go, I suppose.
It's eerie how it all seems to fit with that theory Cain mentioned yesterday. If the monsters in the forest and the underground were once citizens here, and somehow they were turned into monsters, and the only remaining bit of who they were are names on the stones in the graveyard--it's a story befitting October, I think. But I still hope it isn't true. Perhaps it's scariest because it might very well be true.
Mm. And speaking of City legends, it's about time for Peg-Fist Jack and the ghostly crew of the Wandering Hangman to start roaming the City again, isn't it? It's coming up on Halloween, after all--only eleven more days, now. It's not so very long at all.And I haven't lost my bet yet, either.
Still, I'll be all right for the rest of the day, I think. There are worse places to wait out a curse than a Library, anyway. And I do have my bow with me, just in case trouble should decide to find me in here. Perhaps in a little while I'll see if things haven't settled down enough for me to make my way to the Blue Light...and if they haven't, then I'll stay here until midnight, and that's quite all right, too.
[OOC: So right about this time last year, Rosella andRabi Lavi invented a Halloween legend about a pirate named Peg-Fist Jack, his first mate Leonard the Barnacle, and the ghostly crew of the Wandering Hangman--which is what she's referencing here. It's entirely made-up and has no factual basis to it whatsoever, but hey, every Halloween needs a ghostly pirate legend or two, right? She certainly thinks so.
Also, yes, she's stranded in the Library today, if anyone wants to visit her.]

Me, I've only heard of ghost stories as a child. Mostly about vengeful ghosts. I take it yours were... nicer than that?
no subject
Mine weren't vengeful, just sad. And lonely, I think. One of them was just a little baby, a few months old, and another was a girl a little older than me.
