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!]

I suppose it's rather funny, really, that I made a resolution to be modern in some things and old-fashioned in others this year, and now I've gone from a court gown in Daventry to this getup all in the same week. And it must be a curse that's brought it about, since it seems all my usual dresses have disappeared for the day, and been replaced with things like this instead. I do hope they all come back at midnight, though, since I really do rather like those dresses, and it'd be troublesome to have to try to replace all of them now. Especially since my court gown is the one with--

But since it doesn't seem as though anyone else on the Network is sharing my predicament, despite clearly being cursed, I suppose that means it's one of the random weekends again? That's odd, it doesn't seem as though it's been that long since the last, and now here it is again.

The curses do seem to fall into patterns that way, don't they? I know there's been some speculation as to whether or not they really do follow any sort of pattern, but the longer one remains here, the more it seems as though they must. Some of the longtime residents can even remember several multiples of the same curse, I know, and we've been having weekends like this for months now, without fail.

On the other hand, some curses don't repeat very often at all--like the dream curse we had, just a few days ago. I'm glad I was able to see that one again. It was different this time than the first time I had it, but...well. Any curse that lets me see my family again can hardly be called a bad one, and any curse that lets me go home, even if it's only a dream...that's a rare and precious thing. And I'm glad that so many of you were able to come with me, too. Perhaps someday we'll manage it in real life, and not merely in dreams, hmm?

And speaking of managing, there's still plenty of things I want to finish today, and I've been lucky enough to draw a curse that won't hinder me from getting them done. Well, not very much, anyway. These oh, what are they called again? Jeans? jeans are comfortable enough, really, but they're simply dreadful for keeping things in. Honestly, I can barely fit half my hand into these pockets, much less hold anything in them.


[OOC: Why, yes, that is Rosella in jeans today, courtesy of the Wardrobe Switch curse. She's keeping busy at the Library today, so feel free to action her up if you're there; for everyone else, it's a Network post.]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but...

I think I actually...sort of...like these new clothes...

Oh, and Ryuichi? If you're cursed today and don't want to go outside in whatever you're wearing, I understand. We can always watch your ninja movies together some other time, if that's the case.

[OOC: I traumatize her enough as it is, so I figured I'd be nice for a change--and have her end up dressed like a normal girl. Poke her enough and she might go video; she's a little shy about the outfit, but she figures hey, it could be a lot worse.]
