[ The device flips on to show a nice view of the interior of the Opera House - right inside the entrance. And in the center of the room, there's a tall ladder raised with someone standing upon it, but all that's showing in view of the screen is a pair of black shoes and matching pants to about halfway up the legs.

One foot shifts, and a young man's

[ Only now does Fakir notice the device is on across the room - since he recognizes her loud, squeaky voice coming from it.

The initial surprise rapidly gives way to panic, however. ]

No--NO, you idiot! Stay away from here! I'm affected by some kind of stupid curse, and you could get hurt---

[ He slams a palm to the floor in hopes of getting her attention, but that only causes the candle holder that was on the left side of where the mirror used to be to slip from the wall and clatter to the floor.

He blinks at it for a moment and then turns to the screen again. ]

See? It's dangerous! Just stay there, dammit!

[manofgnee]

...Woah. I didn't know whole buildings could get affected by curses...

Are you okay? Jeez...they've managed to get creative with this curse. And not in a good way, either.

It looks like you hurt your leg...if I were you, I'd try waiting to fix the curse related damage until tomorrow. Maybe it'll just all get reset...

[sword_and_quill]

I don't plan on doing anything else. And I'm fine.

[manofgnee]

Hope your leg is okay...

[sword_and_quill]

There's nothing wrong with it. And even if there were, I could easily take care of it myself.

[sparkling_by]

Serves you right for yelling at young ladies.

[sword_and_quill]

[ Glaaaaaaaare. ]

Get over it. That was none of your business, anyway.

[sparkling_by]

...is the wound bad?

[sword_and_quill]

There is no wound. It's fine.

[ Because he's in denial. ]

Fakir?

[ ...The one who runs into trouble is Ahiru. ]

[princess_crow]

[ She was about to say something biting, but then that incident happens. ]

[princess_crow]

Let the light be! Hmpf. You are so stubborn. I'm going to help you.

[sword_and_quill]

Well obviously I'm letting it be now. I didn't damn well know there was some kind of curse today.

[ And speaking of that... ]

Just stay away until midnight. There's no telling what else will happen around me.

[ ooc: There's a thread up there with Ahiru in Action if the ladies want to help Mr. Stubborn get his foot free and take care of his leg? ]

[tainted_loyalty]

Master Fakir--!

Are you in need of assistance?

[Student Doctor!Riff is on his way if you need him~]

He can join Ahiru up there in Action if you like!

[sword_and_quill]

I'm fine.

[ Only he's not. And kind of refuses to admit it. At least until he thinks it'll be safe for anyone to approach him without getting smashed by something. ]

Okay, sure!

[tainted_loyalty]

I'm sorry, sir, but I don't believe you are. I shall be there soon.

[Not gonna fly, Fakir. Riff knows these things]

I'm heading to be shortly, but I'll tag back after work tomorrow~!

[sword_and_quill]

What---No, dammit! There's some sort of curse--at least wait until midnight!

[ Whyyyy does no one listen? ]
