WHAT: Network post
WARNINGS: None so far

First of all, thank you very much to everyone who helped save us from the Fae. I'm really grateful not to be stuck there forever. I don't have much, but I'll find a way to repay you guys one day.

Second of all....has anyone else had a problem with the fae curses, well, not going away as much as you hoped it would? Is there something I need to do to get rid of it?

Thanks again. Really!

Unfortunately, I haven't found a way to be rid of mine

I can control it to some degree, but that's about it

UN: ecraig

[fiddlestick]

You too huh?

But controlling it is impressive! How do you manage?

I'm not even sure what I did to offend them, but I got turned into a fox for my troubles...

A lot of concentration and practice. My hold on it slips if I'm in pain, though.

[fiddlestick]

Ugh, seriously? They were just the worst! They turned me into a cat for saying no to playing music for them all the time. Like I was some jukebox.

[HE HATES THE FAE]

Concentration and practice...guess I should give meditation another shot. [Bleh. but oh. That's concerning as a teacher] You're not often in pain are you?

I’m still part-wolf!! No matter what I do I can’t change back!!!

[fiddlestick]

Oh no...

What things have you tried?

[nonmagical]

Relaxing things, painting, music... yelling at myself in a mirror...

[fiddlestick]

[ 💧 ]

Why are you yelling at yourself in a mirror...?

It won't surprise me if everyone was cursed permanently. Where I'm from un-cursing yourself is difficult, often impossible. The best you can do is manage it.

UN: ecraig

[fiddlestick]

Permanent, huh...

[Permanetly cursed to be a cat, cool cool cool.

He's glad he did this over text. Much easier in case he needs to scream. A moment later:]

How difficult is it to manage curses?

[cardinalrule]

Not easily, no matter how many resources you have, and there are usually side effects. That was with a proper system in place for magic, too. I imagine it'll be a lot more difficult to deal with here, where the Coven System means there aren't entire covens of witches and demons dedicated to potions and healing.

[fiddlestick]

["Usually side effects", "lot more difficult to deal with here", lack of resources. Elliot reads all that and just all the implications make his anxiety spike so much, enough that--

POOF.

Full cat again. ]

[It's a good twenty minutes before he responds, needing to get himself back to being human enough for to actually be able to type again. Sorry for the delay Hunter!]

Well, that sucks.

You were cursed too? Are you okay?

[ She hadn't seen him since before all the fae stuff happened, so she can only hope nothing else was wrong. ]

un: ecraig

[fiddlestick]

[Another student! So he'll do his best to reassure]

Ah, I'm fine mostly! I just keep turning into a cat. Or getting the ears.

"Too"? You weren't cursed as well were you?

[neverbreaks]

No, not me. Mirabel was cursed though.

[ She wouldn't normally be so open about it, but Mirabel had already mentioned it to him so. ]

Do you think it might be permanent?

[speaksanimal]

You're not cursed, are you? If you are, I hope you're okay!

Text; un: ecraig

[fiddlestick]

[Oh no, the youngest student. He rather not worry him, so time to downplay this. ]

Haha, I'm fine! I just turn into a cat sometimes.

[speaksanimal]

Really? Does that mean you can run super fast and want to hunt things all the time?

[JUST SAYING]

[Look. She is Too Lazy to bother with typing. Also she types like a grandmother.]

In my experience, it's either ask the fae to reverse it or learn to live with it. At least you're not a leafman?

Re: voice | un: fashonti

[fiddlestick]

You know what, I'm not going to ask what a leafman is.

[He'll just be glad he's not one, whatever that is!!]

Yeah, that seems to be the common sentiment. I don't think I can get the fae to reverse it, so it's looking like the latter.

[thaumewturge]

What sort of curse is it? Any permanent changes?

UN: Rose

[nefilim]

If you find out, let me know. I've got my curse kinda under control, but I keep turning into a cat sometimes. 😾

UN: ecraig

[fiddlestick]

You too huh?

From the sounds of it, no one really knows a cure. It's just a matter of learning how to manage it...somehow.

[nefilim]

Somehow.

I mean at least it's good for like... sneaking. Or something. Honestly it mostly sucks cuz my roommate is being an ass about it.
