There seem to be a lot more people around today than there were before, what gives? Is this about this 'curse' people keeps talking about?
I really don't get this place...

That's it exactly.

....There's nothing to get. They do ridiculous things like this all the time.

[ano_nee]

Oh. Okay. Just, usually things start to make sense once you know more about them, so I thought this would be like that.

[massive_ego]

No, no. Not here. Guarantee once you think you have it figured out, they will change something.

[ano_nee]

Oh, joy.

What's your name, by the way? I don't think I've asked.

The curses are pretty strange, but you kind of get used to them after a while, since they happen every other week. They aren't always bad, though. There was even one week where the Hibou gave everyone puppies!

[ano_nee]

Puppies? That sounds very nice, for a curse!

[clows_star]

It really was! And this other time they sent a whole bunch of people to some kind of school-festival, and gave everyone there really beautiful clothes!

... Ah, I'm sorry! My name's Sakura Kinomoto. What's yours?

[ano_nee]

This sounds like it could be kind of fun. In a weird way.

Nice to meet you! I'm Ano Maki.

No, no, the curse just ended. We were people before it ♥

Allow me to explain. You, I, and everyone else here was taken here by the Hibou, mutant owls with godlike powers. If you don't think I'm insane already, they're responsible for our added on animal features, our "7" tattoos, and...well, the curses. Every other week, for the duration of the week, there is some change to our selves or our environment instigated by the Hibou, for their entertainment.

Any questions so far?

[ano_nee]

Yes, someone - I don't know his name yet, but...someone - explained most of that to me already, I just didn't really understand about the curses.
Thanks, though.

Uh...not that I can think of right now.
...Who're you? I should probably start asking people's names so I don't have to keep calling them 'someone'...

[kanscientist]

They take some getting used to, especially if one isn't...used to the more bizarre side of the supernatural.

Watari Yutaka, at your service ♥ And you?

[ano_nee]

I'm Maki. Ano Maki.
