Entry 200; Day 469

Those stupid pictures of cats and misspelled words again. I don't think I'll ever entirely understand it. For example, 'snake cat has bited before, snake cat will bite again'. I just have to hope to endure it when it comes around again.

Perhaps I should apologize for my behaviour yesterday. Although it wasn't as untoward as some curses make one behave, I'm sure it was still trying for everyone to whom I spoke on the Network. It even struck Riff, who proceeded to 'Riff roll' me, whatever that means. It annoyed me at the time, for some reason.

I think seeing him write like that was the strangest thing I saw all day, stranger than the cats with their captions.

All the same, I think I spoke to more people in the Network yesterday than I have in weeks--some I knew, some I didn't.

It was very good to meet you, Miss Kagami. I hope that we can meet again sometime when we're both feeling more like ourselves--or when I'm in a slightly better humour. I did very much enjoy our walk. It took that much to get me off the Network at all, I think.

And, Killua, for the record, no profit was made, despite those four stage plans to turn a profit. I'm sure you're disappointed.

Yesterday's curse frustrates me beyond all reason. It's rather like dreaming one can speak a foreign language. In the dream, everything makes sense, but when one wakes, everything is nonsense again. I understood myself, more or less, yesterday. At least, I knew what I was trying to say. Although, most of what I wanted to say yesterday was that I didn't want to talk like that. And yet I seemed to say it over and over and over.

Some of the photographs of the cats are somewhat funny, though I don't understand the giant pear with teeth, and I certainly don't understand 'lazor'.

At least this curse only seems to come around once a year. I couldn't take it if the Network looked like that all day every day. I'd either go mad or go silent entirely.

I also didn't think, or couldn't think, to screen my entry yesterday. None of them took me up on being out in the open like that, fortunately.

Now that that's over, I suppose I'll pick things up where I left them the day before. Back on his trail again. I need Crehador's information.

And this is the 200^th post I've made on this Network contraption now, and nearly 500 days. I rather feel this sort of post ought to be more monumental, somehow, being both a round number and such a large number, 200. But I'm too exhausted after those stupid cats all over the place, and who would want to celebrate having been here so interminably long? Bravo, number 200.

~C.

[ooc: 200 posts! Wow! I feel like I ought to say something here XD Uhh... Thank you, POLY! For playing with Cain and me for so very, very long. I always hoped to hit 200, but never really thought about it. And here we are! Thank you~!! Also, Godchild crew (small but growing?), I'm not planning on cursing Cain this weekend, but if you've got plans, drop a line :D]

Ah, I see you are familiar with how the Japanese arrange their names. Tsukasa would be fine.

Inconveniences aside, the curse had allowed me to meet a lot of interesting people... and a new way to interact with people on the network by means of thoughts.

Organizing by means of writing? I've honestly never heard of that before.

I'm learning, I suppose. Having been here for this long, I ought to know a little. There are more than a few Japanese here, after all. Tsukasa then. A pleasure.

Likewise. I spoke to people I think I've never spoken to before, although they didn't necessarily see the best side of me. Perhaps we can speak again now that things have calmed down. But what do you mean 'by means of thoughts'?

Have you not? It doesn't seem so peculiar to me. I prefer to have a record of my plans than to let them languish. It helps to find the weak spots if one sees all of a plan laid out together.

People are quicker to accepting who I am in this City... I'm a psychic who can read thoughts and heal injuries. I'm currently working in the City General Hospital to put my abilities to good use.

Perhaps "never" is too harsh a word. My Master and her second command are very straight forward people, so organizing isn't so tedious for them. Tomonori-san would be the sort of person to use such methods though.

Given than there are others here whom I've met with similar abilities, I'm not so surprised as I would be if I met you in my own world. There, I suspect I'd doubt you could do any of that at all.

So then it's not so unusual, is it? I prefer it, but I think it may simply be where and when I come from that does it. And if you prefer to do things with and in your mind, then it wouldn't serve you in the slightest.

It's a little surprising how easily people accept something like this here. If this were in my world, I would have probably been sent to the mental hospital for suspicions on brain damage.

Of course. "To each, his own."

Well, considering the others who live here, it's not that surprising.

So such abilities weren't common in your world either?
