Entry 198; Day 466
Aug. 12th, 2008 11:29 am[Filtered from DELILAH || Unhackable]
A curse two days ago and a curse again today. It seems the 'deities' have been busy of late, and I've been missed twice, by luck, or chance, or whatever drawing of lots they do in their elephant.
It's just as well that the one before missed me, now that I see the pattern of it. Twisted families and monstrous parents. That's more than a little familiar, having heard similar stories in my world, and I've heard tales of more since being here.Between his whips and the arsenic in the sugar, my attempt to murder him, and the curse of my golden eyes, I could prove any of those twisted families to be better than my own-- But to have perhaps had to endure someone else as my sister or brother so soon after losing my real sister, that I could not have endured. And if Riff had thought he belonged in another household, that might have been still worse.
It's twice as good that this one missed me--for the second or third time, actually. Although, I had to endure Merry being handcuffed to the doctor's messenger boy when this one came around before, and so, of course, the two of us had to go along with him as he ran his errands and made his deliveries. Besides the fact that even being near him made my skin crawl, I think he went slower than he needed to grate on me more.

There's no help I can offer in a curse like thisI can only pick a few ordinary locks. The time before, Merry and I tried everything, from hairpins to hammers to acid to break the chains, and nothing worked. One does best to endure it, as with all the other curses.
Reading the Network the last few days, it seems like most everyone has taken to drinking either during or after curses. Not that that's either here or there, but it seems to be the topic of conversation of late.
Strangely, I almost wish Crehador was around to talk to--or jab at, either way--I think I might almost miss having him around--That's not so hard to believe, is it?--
A friend of a friend seems not to be where she is meant to be. If she's attached to someone today, surely that will turn up on the Network. Either way, I think I'm due for a bit of a walk today.

[ooc: Have been neglecting the Cain in trying to get Stephen up and running ;.; Crai. Needs moar Cain. Cain admits that his father was and is a monster, but do you know how V.C. Andrews the Hargreaves are? He's not telling all of it, no way. Alexis-mun, got a minute to hash out plot plans at some point~?♥ Cain's getting tired of being in the City, so I'm debating about sending him home for a holiday sometime after either 200 posts or 500 days, whichever I choose. Cain's going to be looking for Vivio today, too, since Vivio helped look for Merry--it's only fair ;3;]
