Curses [Off-Network]
Apr. 26th, 2011 01:10 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
I've sorted the curses by Aspects Affected to see if there's any pattern to what sorts are most likely. Mind is if the way a person is on the inside is affected. If someone thinks they hate someone else, or if they feel oddly obliged to post something on the Network, or do something else. Body is if something related to a person's physical...nature is affected. Like being turned into the opposite sex, or even your soul being physicalised as an animal. City is either when the City's environment is affected or if a device automatically posts something without the person knowing (not including accidental posts, it has to be the point of the curse).

Date | Curse | Aspects Affected | Description |
---|---|---|---|
May 3, 2011 | People thought they had to explain something they could do to others. | Mind | Explanations ranged from one about drug use, to one on how to survive the City, to another that was possibly about how to kill somebody. I hope. Eriol explained his method but was lucid enough to notice that he'd done it without a solid reason, which meant it was probably a curse. Meaning that occasionally, rational thought while being cursed is actually possible. |
May 6, 2011 | Aggravated emotions? | Mind | Stephen had a panic attack, which could have just been natural if it hadn't been for a few other posts of a similar sort on the Network. |
May 8, 2011 | Mothers | Mind | People were either talking to their mothers who weren't actually there, or they were acting like a mother to other people. |
May 11, 2011 | ...stickiness? | Body | Some people were like...glue or something, and everything they touched stuck to them. And some of them rolled, somehow. Painfully, I guess. It was a bit like that one video game, actually. With the balls. |
May 14-15, 2011 | Random things. | Body, Mind, City | Amy and I had...our souls on the outsides of our bodies, personified as animals. Mine was a barn owl called Fiona and Amy's was a ferret named Conall. When Amy or I touched each other's souls, it was very...intimate. But everyone in the City didn't have animal souls. The...Eastwood Man was badly and suddenly injured, and I think one bloke was living in a musical. |
May 18, 2011 | Documentaries | City, Mind | A bunch of documentary filmmakers showed up and attempted to chronical the lives of people in the City. Some people tried to avoid it, some people played along, and some had their minds affected to make them believe that it was ordinary. |
May 21-22, 2011 | Versailles | Mind, City | Anyone cursed thought that they were from 18th century France. I think I was speaking French as well. It gave me the memories of an entirely different childhood, as a servant in Amy's mansion. She was a noble, who bought me a title so that we could get married. And our names were different too, she was Amélie and I was Romain. We ended up going to a ball. |
May 24-25, 2011 | ???? | ??? | Something must have happened here, because there's never that large of a gap between curses, but I couldn't work out what it was. Fancy dress? |
May 26, 2011 | Romance Novels/Films | Mind | People thought they were in one of those media, and I spent all day being really, really creepy and stalking Amy. I couldn't work out why grabbing her and pulling her about wasn't working as a romantic gesture. Definitely one of the more unpleasant curses. |
May 28, 2011 | Spontaneous Marriage | Mind | Several people who hadn't been married the day before, or didn't even know each other, suddenly were, and had. They were either getting married on the day, or they remembered being married for longer. |
May 30, 2011 | ...recession curse? | Mind, City | Everyone was being fired on that day, or losing their homes, and having to make it on their suddenly reduced savings, or homeless. |
June 2, 2011 | Missing words | City | The City was randomly muting people as they tried to talk, or cutting out words from entries. |
June 5, 2011 | Cat people | ||
June 8, 2011 | Stating your weaknesses | ||
