Aren't you like especially cursed?

[teenrebellion]

What is that supposed to mean? It only happened once.

[ashmark]

I meant in general. I thought you were cursed multiple times.

[ squinting like? am i remembering that wrong? ]

[teenrebellion]

Nnnnno. Until today, that was the only curse I've had.

Why did you think I was cursed?

[ashmark]

Something about you, I think. [ also her memory still hiccups from time to time, though it's gotten better since w5. ]

But I don't mean anything by it. Just a mistake.

[teenrebellion]

This still feels rude, somehow...

[ashmark]

Aw come on, we're just having fun, Kazuki.

[teenrebellion]

I don't want to have a personality that makes people think I'm cursed?

[ashmark]

It's more like there's a lot of well-meaning people here who try to "help" with curses or think it's funny.

[teenrebellion]

Yeah, I know. But I think Kaveh-san and O'Keefe-san got the brunt of those, actually?

[ashmark]

Oh, yeah, I guess you're right. [ remembering kaveh's very large text post ]

At least Shu seems to handle it well.

[ sorry kaveh ]

[teenrebellion]

I don't blame Kaveh-san for getting upset, though. It really sucks when those things mess with your mind.

[ashmark]

Yeah... Something about lack of agency would make anyone upset, wouldn't it?

[teenrebellion]

Yeah, exactly. I mean... I've been sick of people making decisions for me for years already. I don't need that dialed up to eleven here just because we have these weird powers now.
