15 I would consider getting a sign to say this, but I don't plan to make a habit of this experience

[chameleongun]

So, I'm not dead.

But in light of the fact that despite Leon's reappearance (Thank you, by the way, Dino), the pacifier (and the curse) has not also made its way back to me, I have to conclude that something is seriously wrong. And since the general weariness and lassitude I've been feeling for the past few weeks continues mostly unabated, I can'

This is the worst condition I've heard of you to be in.

[chameleongun]

Yes. I am going to need to take a risk.

[windsofwinds]

You always did.

Aside from that, how have you been? It's been quite a long time.

[chameleongun]

It's hard to gain things that are worthwhile without doing so.

Aside from that... A very large aside, but I find I am actually doing very well.

A bit too long, perhaps?

[stormbornqueen]

Sir, were a curse removed from me and sent away never to apparently return, I would consider myself very lucky.

[chameleongun]

In this situation, the side effect of the curse being gone is rather more debilitating than the curse itself was.

I'm afraid I have not seen you before? But I certainly count myself lucky to have met one as lovely as yourself.

[stormbornqueen]

That is a cruel curse indeed. I have great sympathy for you.

I am Daenerys Stormborn, rightful Queen of the Seven Kingdoms. What are you called, sir?

[chameleongun]

Nothing quite so exalted, Your Highness. My name is Reborn.

[captain_dame]

So you sleeping all the time has to do with the absence of the curse?

[chameleongun]

Should I compliment you on that astute though very obvious observation?

[captain_dame]

I would be very surprised if you did...

If the sleep isn't helping your lack of energy, then...do you have any idea of what will help? Or how to get the curse back?

[chameleongun]

Not right this moment, but I have a contingency plan in mind. It'll at least get you through the next couple weeks. Perhaps during the tournament.

[janken_gon]

I figured as much. I'm glad you're not dead.

[chameleongun]

Why thank you. I find your faith in my continued survival reassuring.

[janken_gon]

I'm pretty capable if you need help!

[chameleongun]

I know you are, and thank you for the offer.

[saint_rosette]

I hope you'll do better soon.

[chameleongun]

Thank you very much, Rosette. Your concern is appreciated. To be honest, I am doing bearably; it is just a very huge change from my usual situation. It feels like losing control of my body when I've known it almost perfectly for so long...

[saint_rosette]

That is terrible, and still there is no solution to it? I'm so sorry I can't seem to help more.

[chameleongun]

If it is something idiosyncratic, like that swap we all experienced recently, then there's nothing I can do. If it's something a little more sinister...

So many people have offered; I'm really very touched.
