Case 163

[manofgnee]

So, yeah, puppy bites hurt enough as is, what with them having those sharp pointy little teeth and all...but you feel really, REALLY sore when they're all over.

Yeah, 2 days after I was a chew toy and I'm still sore. If I have to deal with a toy curse again, it'll be too soon, I just know it.

Oh well. I shouldn't really call them puppies anymore either, since they're more like teenage dogs...but they act like puppies, so it's a technicality. Oh, they grow up so fast...!


Anyway. This has been a nice month, I'd say. Overall, anyway. And...wow, next month is March. I'll have been here a whole year....

...wow. How do you mark something like that?

I should probably go make more cranes...I got sort of lazy with those...

Your puppy reminds me of my cat, Arthur. I could never get him to stop biting. Are you making paper cranes?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I am!! I've been making them on and off since I got here...

I have a friend back home that I've been making them for...but this place keeps me really busy sometimes, so it's been a while since I've actually done any.

[sword-of-zero.livejournal.com]

There's someone important to me back home who is doing the same thing. Is your friend trying to make enough of them to make a wish?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Well, he's not making them. He's got...well, amnesia, I guess, but apparently, cranes meant something to him before he lost his memories.

So, I wanted to make 1000 so he could remember his old life again. But now...well, I guess it's so I can see him again. It's been a long time now, and I really miss him.

If you'd ever like any help with them, I could assist you. I used to make them a lot as a child.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Really?

Thanks, Suzaku, I'd actually really appreciate that. I made some for all the friends I've had in the City who've left, too...you know, so I don't forget them.

[sword-of-zero.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. Maybe your friends will come back again some day. I've apparently left before and returned.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

It's been known to happen, yeah, so who knows!

How're you settling in, by the way?

[sword-of-zero.livejournal.com]

It's still taking some getting used to, but I'm starting to get a better feel for this place.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm glad things are starting to be less...well, this place never stops being freaky, but still.

[sword-of-zero.livejournal.com]

Most of the time you have no choice but to adapt.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Exactly. We do what we must, but usually, it isn't too bad.

[sword-of-zero.livejournal.com]

You're right, it could be a lot worse. So far I haven't been affected by any of the curses.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

That's good! Some of them are really awful. Some aren't too bad.

[sword-of-zero.livejournal.com]

Which do you consider to be the worst ones?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Oh, jeez...tough question...

Anything involving revealing people's secrets or fears are pretty bad though.
