[ The concept of imaginary numbers is alien to Firo, so his lucky number is nonexistent. As is any good luck. The bad luck is at its worst on the first day, and Firo has somehow gotten himself far out in the woods. And now he's hopelessly lost, with his map left somewhere back in town. Give him a hand? ]
Days 2-3: You'll find it in the last place you look for it.
[ All week Firo will be plagued by bad luck. But worst of all is the fact that his hat has gone missing. During the second and third days of the event one can find Firo, hatless and obviously distressed, racing around town and turning the place upside down.
No place is too strange to escape his searching; he'll root around in trashcans and even peek in windows. He may suddenly stand in your path, eyeing any bag or container suspiciously. Maybe his hat's hiding in there. ]
Day 4: You will buy some minors alcohol today.[ Despite his recent misfortunes, Firo's feeling oddly generous today, particularly to minors. If he spots anyone ( ... )

Thank you for your kind offer, sir... but I'm afraid I'm not of drinking age yet. [Besides, this one isn't particularly interested in alcoholic drinks as is. Considering how some people act when drunk... no thank you.
...It's probably a good thing that Joshua's voice is androgynous as is. When raising it a bit like he's doing right now, he definitely sounds convincingly like a girl, as much as he normally hates that fact.]

Aw, c'mon, miss. It's not like the Temperance League can get'cha here. And anyway, you look old enough for a sip at the least.
Reply
...Temperance League?]
No, it's quite all right. I prefer not to drink. [That's more Schera's shtick. Or Olivier's...]
I'm certain you can find someone who would appreciate your offer more than I, sir. [You know... someone actually old enough to drink, unlike him. It's a nice gesture and all, but it's not one he particularly cares for, admittedly.]
Reply
Normally he would have given up after the first refusal; if she wants to pass up on a drink that's her business. But the horoscope is compelling him to press a little harder. ]
You sure? Have you ever tried it?
Reply
I have. I'm afraid I am simply not fond of the taste. [Actually, no, he hasn't, but he's familiar with more than enough people who do drink to know that it's something he'd rather avoid.]
Reply
[ The subject can only be pressed so much and so Firo gives in, even with the horoscope nagging him. He shrugs and lets the hand holding the bottle fall to his side. ]
What's your name, by the way? I don't think we've met.
Reply
You may call me Katrin. I arrived here a few weeks ago. [Well... close to 13 weeks, really, but you could say that's "a few weeks"...]
Reply
[ He frowns when Joshua mentions his recent arrival. Well, Firo assumes "a few weeks" means recent. ]
Just a few weeks ago? You settlin' in okay?
Reply
Yes, I've been settling in all right. It's all still a little strange... but I suppose I will manage to adjust soon. [Going from maid-in-training at a castle to... not-maid in a fairly rural village is a bit odd, to say the least. Or at least it would be if those circumstances actually applied...]
Reply
Don't be so formal.
You can say that again. It's even harder to adjust when all this weird stuff is goin' on. It normally settles down after a few days.
[ And this time it looks like the moon won't squash them, so that's good. ]
Reply
I hope that you are correct. This experiment has been... troublesome. [And awkward. So very, very awkward. And in more ways than just one by now, too. Ugh.]
Reply
Yeah, definitely. The experiments have all been pretty bad but this one's just plain annoyin'.
Reply
...I agree. I certainly hope that it won't last for much longer...
[He really does not want to risk a repeat of that. Or something similar happening. And it'd be nice to be able to wear something not meant for women again, too. Not to mention being able to prepare his own food again without rendering it inedible...]
Reply
[ Firo scuffs the ground with the toe of his shoe, sighing. He knows he should be grateful this experiment isn't making him explode repeatedly like the last one did. ]
At least nothin' really painful has happened. Yet.
Reply
[It's neither painful, nor are their any signs of potential mass destruction like the moon during the last experiment. He could really, really do without anything like that happening again. If only because that was little too close to something he's witnessed for his comfort.]
