This needs to...No, wait, that's no good...

[The shuffle of papers, the scribbling of a pencil in the background--someone's busy. But the distraction doesn't last long as Rita takes note of the date-]

Wait a minute--September?! How the hell is it--it's almost October again...

How could they bring back Estelle now- What if something-[ooc: Tags

[ He almost forgot about how late it was getting in the year in terms of how the city itself will change. After Eagle and Euphie went insane and the two of them regressed back into their mind-controlled states before, though, maybe he should have realised it sooner.

Rita has to be as worried as he is, he thinks. He sends a private message to her just in case, just to prevent eavesdropping. ]

Are you okay?

[She feels a bit relieved to hear him, both because of what happened on the weekend and because he's one of the few people she feels comfortable talking with about this.

Tyr...Yeah. [She could tell him that everything's fully healed, but that's not what she thinks he's worried about.]

...I just can't believe it's already coming up again.

[ He isn't concerned about her injury anymore; he knows it was treated quickly enough that it wouldn't be life-threatening. Just seeing her injured like that still makes him sick to recall, though. Those are one aspect of his memories that wasn't cloudy at all after the curse...

But October being close means it's more likely for the same thing to happen again. That's what he's worried about now. ]

Me either... But... It's like the City is preparing already...

[It was lucky Tyr had the water rune, after all. Now that it's over, she's not thinking too much about how much worse it could've been if she hadn't given that one back to him, but...

October coming is the biggest worry now--especially with Estelle back. Not to mention what happened to Tyr the year before.]

You think that weekend was... You weren't cursed, were you? [Not that she noticed, at least, but it might make something more likely next month...]

Are you worried about something in October? Did something bad happened then?

[voice]

[blastiafreak]

Huh? Yeah, something like that...

So you weren't here last year?

[blessed_ninja]

No, I wasn't. I only arrived a couple of weeks ago. What happened then?

[ She sounds a bit distraught - if Rita's implications are correct then this is going to suck. ]

[blastiafreak]

So you're still pretty new...

[The other girl's right to be distraught, Rita thinks, if it'll be anything like last year. She's serious in return; nothing good would come of sugarcoating it.]

Basically, think of the worst curse you can imagine, and it was probably about a whole month of that.

[...So she doesn't realize she's exaggerating a bit, but it's still a pretty horrible memory.]
