[ When the video comes on, a young, dark-haired man can be seen--his back to the camera and ponytail hanging over the back of his shirt.

For a long moment, he doesn't move or say a thing. The video feed is just eerily silent for a few moments before--

...I don't think I understand.

[ Voice ]

[sword_and_quill]

[ ...And neither does he. ]

Whatever that was, just forget you saw it.

[ Voice ]

[treadingdawn]

Should I? I'm only curious about the meaning of the composition.

[ Voice ]

[sword_and_quill]

[ Pause. ]

Are these the kind of nonsense things the curses do?

[ At least it's not dangerous in this case, he supposes, but he hates the thought of having his mind messed with. ]

[richest_heart]

[He regards the former knight with open puzzlement.]

Fakir, what was the purpose of that?

[ Voice ]

[sword_and_quill]

[ He has no idea. ]

...Nothing. Just--forget it. This must be some kind of curse.

[ Voice ]

[ It made no damn sense. ]

[ FUMBLES THE COMMUNICATOR. ]

What the fuck.

[aettir]

If you didn't want people to see it, then why'd you-shit, is this another private thing? Does nobody here text?

voice;

[sword_and_quill]

I don't know what the hell it is or why I had to do it! This must be one of those stupid--ridiculous curses!

[dance_of_hope]

...Eh?

[sword_and_quill]

Never mind.

[dance_of_hope]

...Y-You...

Youlookedkindafunnyjustnow!

I said never mind, idiot. Forget it. It's curse nonsense.
