Quest 245

Oh, rats, it seems it's one of those weekends again, just the same as ever.

...Though come to think of it, we didn't have one of these weekends last month, did we? I do usually try to keep track of them as best I can, whether it's on the weekend itself or on the Monday just after, which seems to be one of the most constant things around here--that the Monday after a weekend like this will never have a curse on it, as though it's meant to be a respite after a whole weekend of trouble. And most every month I say the same thing--that it's one of those weekends again--but now that I think about it, I don't recall saying so last month. Did we miss one, along the way?

Last month was rather strange in itself, though, since we don't often have curses one right after the other, either. And of course, a random weekend like this is two days of curses, one right after the other, so perhaps the two have something to do with each other, after all. It's something to think about, in any case.

The good news is, I seem to have drawn a rather harmless curse today, and one that I've had before, though not...er, precisely in this sense. I do think I look quite nice, though, even if black isn't exactly my color of choice. And of course, the hat is just lovely as well. I suppose I'll have to take care not to let any children knock it off with snowballs, though, won't I? I hear that's rather one of the hazards of having a hat like this, after all.

The bad news is, I think I know exactly whose clothes these are, which means--

Oh, and I know it's a bit late, but thank you again to everyone who came to the arcade earlier this week! I had a lovely time, and it was great fun seeing all of you. It's always a fine thing to take time out and enjoy oneself, isn't it? And it's always so easy to focus on the bad things in life, so it's good to stop and remember once in a while to look at the good ones, too. And I'm so very glad for that.

Arthur, I know we'd planned for a meeting today, and I've been looking forward to it very much; I do hope you'll forgive that I'm dressed a bit...unusually, today. And of course, I hope you haven't found yourself cursed today either--though if you have, it's no trouble at all to arrange a different time, of course. As I mentioned earlier, the Mondays that follow these sorts of weekends are usually guaranteed to be free of curses. Or at least, as much as anything can be guaranteed in a place like the City.

And Miss Philomena, when you have a moment, I'd like very much to show you the--well, I think it's a rune, but I'm not quite sure, actually. I suppose it might be a sigil or a hieroglyph, just the same, but in any case, it's quite odd and I'd very much like to know what it is.


[OOC: And the name of the game is Wardrobe Switch! Specifically, she's traded clothes with Cain today, which means she's running around looking something like this. Fab Victorian gear, ho!]

Oh, could you? I'd like that very much, yes, please! It'd be very helpful, of course, and I don't mind at all.


[OOC: Not a problem! And I was hoping for a hook to get Elliot in here, anyway, so thank you for making it work out so neatly!]

Oh, that's wonderful, I'll get in touch with him right away--when would you like us to come examine this troublesome glyph of yours?

[OOC: I'm glad to be helpful! :3]

Well, I've arranged to meet someone this afternoon, but tomorrow should just be another day of these curses, so...perhaps tomorrow afternoon, if no one is suffering from a curse that'd keep them from it? And if so, then Monday, because that day will be sure to be free of them, after all this.

Tomorrow afternoon would be absolutely fine for me, I'm not affected by any of the curses, at least to my knowledge. But of course--well, I ought to introduce you to Dr. Argento, if you haven't met him already?

I don't think I have, no, but I'd like very much to meet him! Would the Library be all right? There are tables and things there, and it'd be quiet enough, if you don't mind the occasional runaway book darting by.

I'll set it all in motion at once, and of course I will get in touch with you if Dr. Argento needs to reschedule due to obligations or inconveniences.

Thank you so much! I'll look forward to it, very much so.
