Harold, of all the times for you to show up! We'll have to go about the City; I'll show you the flowers in Xanadu. They've got your daisies, and you wouldn't believe what else...

...I hope this curse doesn't only bring ghosts of the dead from one's world.

((OOC: Because what's Maude without Harold? She's blithely assuming he's not actually dead, so it's fun-adventure-day for now. And yes, I suck at Maude lately. I'm sorry. ;-; ))

What dreams...if they could be called dreams at all. Much more nightmares. I haven't had such terrible ones in decades. I wonder what brought those on...

...I got up quite a bit earlier than usual this morning. Hope I didn't wake you, Anita. It looks like it'll be a very nice day, even if we're being cursed. This one doesn't seem terribly bad; sort of a mood indicator, in a way.

I think I'm going to the beach today to ~~remind myself of the waking world~~ watch the seagulls. Anyone who might care to join me, may.

((OOC: Forecast is just a tad overcast--imagine a small sun partly obscured by clouds above her. ^^;; Might perk up later.))

I don't have blood on my hands, thankfully. I've always championed life, not death.

Still, it's good to know that my efforts haven't been in vain--that I didn't indirectly cause the end of someone's life without knowing.

It seems I've acquired a second housemate, at least for the moment. I hadn't shared a home with so many others for several years, when I was alive. It's a change from a solitary existence, but it's not a change I mind!

How're you finding the City, Andrew? It's a bit too violent for my tastes, but then, so was the world I came from. Human nature, you know: living, loving, dying in tragic ways, so their stories might be preserved for generations...but it starts to run together here, since no one stays dead. That takes away from a properly tragic ending, after all.

Much as I love festivals, this one is difficult to enjoy when I consider what else has been going on lately. The theft of hearts, fighting in the streets...

...Anita, enjoy yourself at the celebration tonight! I think I'm going to enjoy the lights from the roof of the apartment building.

I wasn't expecting a curse on my birthday, but I don't mind it! The song is a bit much, but it doesn't seem too intrusive. It shouldn't get in the way of some entertainment tonight, at least!

Anyone and everyone who would like to celebrate (whether my first birthday or another event) may come to Building Five, Apartment Three, around five tonight. We'll have a nice dinner, maybe sing and talk later on. I found a hookah especially for the occasion. It should be marvelous.

((OOC: And sorry for totally neglecting the Maudester lately, btw. -__- I = not on top of things sometimes. In any case, she'll be hosting a little birth/deathday party, and she's decided to consider it her first birthday--since it's the first she's had since dying.))

Tomorrow's the first of March, isn't it?

My, birthdays come up quickly. And deathdays, too.

((OOC: Having pulled a date from my ass, Maude's birthday is tomorrow, and her deathday, right afterwards. As far as she's concerned, they're both the same day, though.))

That was one of the best times I've had in a while. I've never been covered in food before! I would say that it was a shame to waste all of that, but I don't really think it was wasted.

My, but it took ages to clean up after that. Let's do it again sometime, all right?

((OOC: I was so absent-minded that I forgot to post for Maude yesterday, but let's assume she was food-fighting it up with everyone else? It seems like something she'd enjoy. ^^))

It's Mardi Gras already? I hadn't realized it was coming up on us so quickly!

The City seems to have already provided us with some King Cake, Anita, but I feel like mixing up some more. Would you like to help me?

Anyone else interested in doing some baking today is welcome to join me, too!

Do you think it's possible that paintings can die and come here, too? Because look what I've found!

It's "Rainbow with Egg Underneath and an Elephant"!

It showed up today right outside our building, and it will have a place of honor in the living room! Isn't it a wonderful painting? It's one of mine, you know; I do love to paint things. I think I'm rather good at it, too.

((OOC: Affected, but not terribly so.))

Today's Wrath, isn't it? There's too much tension in the air for it to be Pride, and that's the only other one left of the seven deadly sins.

I can't say I'm sorry that I'm not affected with this one. So much anger clouds the mind.

Anita, I'll be at the library today. I expect most of the fighting will take place elsewhere.

Yesterday was quite the change from usual, wasn't it? There's something to be said for lying out and just experiencing that warmth, but I prefer to be doing things, personally. It wasn't a bad curse, either way. Very relaxing!

I missed Harold quite a bit this morning. So charming ~~and warm~~.

I'm feeling rather lonely in general, actually. Anyone care to come keep me company?

((OOC: Gaaaah, I wish Valentine's Day wasn't ridiculously busy for me this year. ;_; I'll hopefully be able to commentspam it up this morning, but most of the day, I'll be out and about.))

Seems like a good day to do nothing more than lie in the sun.

...Well, a long bath would be nice, too. But that would take too much effort.

I think I'll just stretch out on the couch for the day.

Well, yes, my last love affair was with a nineteen year old boy. Why are these people so interested in Harold?

All these booms and crashes are growing a bit stale. They were an intriguing way to wake up (like fireworks, with an added hint of danger), but they're beginning to give me a headache.

No one's been hurt, I hope?

First Japanese clothes,
and now a day of haiku?
This is delightful!

I have always loved
the haiku form. It has such
possibility.

A dragonfly in
the cattails of Xanadu
will fly forever?

I'm rusty at this,
But I'll practice all today!
(Not a curse at all.)

Sky and stars above.
Earth and flowers for a path.
Such wonders I see.

That last curse day was a horrible one, wasn't it? I am terribly sorry for what I said to you, Anita!

I did meet some people, though. D, Momo, I am very pleased to make your acquaintances.

I think today I'll go to Xanadu for a walk. Would you like to come with, Anita?

I don't feel even the slightest bit poetic this morning. Today is clearly a day not worth living.

((OOC: Cursed.))

My closet seems to have undergone a bit of a change since I last saw it!

Ah, well, it's not a terrible curse! These are big on me, but that's better than too small.

Anita, has your wardrobe been switched up, too?

((OOC: Switched with die_zauberin and has no idea what Zorin Blitz's political associations are (or even whose clothes she's got, heh). She wouldn't be...quite as cheerful if she did. :x))

I will spend the rest of tonight on the roof of Building Five. I feel nothing less than joy for the world, and I would like to be outside, wrapped up in the night.

I do hope you've all had as good a day as I have.

I became a political prisoner of the worst kind in 1944. It wasn't the first time I was jailed; that happens regularly when you stand up against the corrupt in favour of free speech, the rights of the downtrodden, and so on.

It was, however, the first time they shaved my head, tattooed a number into my arm, and gave me an inverted red triangle to wear on my breast, though.

Dachau was nightmarish for everyone who came there. I was one of the luckier ones.

My life didn't come to an end there.

((OOC: Which camp she was in isn't mentioned, but I've chosen Dachau because there were a lot of political prisoners there, from what I remember.))

Is there anyone out there who could do a bit of heavy lifting for myself and a friend? We'll be carting things from Building 9 to Building 5, and any help would be very much appreciated. Payment would be a good dinner, as usual!

Anita, this is what your bedroom looks like. I left it alone when I moved in, so it's not quite as colorful as the rest of house. You may feel free to do whatever you like to decorate. Make a mess of it!

It will be an experience, living with someone once again.

((OOC: That picture is ginormous, sorry. ^^;; ))

Well, this curse and the last make up for all the suffering from the curse before them. It is so nice to have a kimono again. I'll have to buy myself one when this curse ends.

All this reminds me that I've a very good recipe for sushi. I'll have to see if I still remember it!

What a beautiful day that was! I wouldn't call that one a curse at all. So freeing!

I think today I'll go and have a look at the library I've heard about. I zipped about all yesterday; today feels like a good day for quiet.

♪♪♪!

I've a small request for someone who's still human. Could one of you come to Building 5, Apartment 3, and open up a window for me? It's a beautiful day out, and I couldn't possibly waste an opportunity to fly by staying here in my apartment!

Thank you! ♪♪!
