WHO: Chongyun & You!!
WHERE: Network
WHEN: 9/8
WHAT: An unfortunate(?) curse of the mythical creature kind
WARNINGS: None yet

Hello,

I awoke to there being more items delivered to me, and these ones seem harmless except for a knife. If anyone knows how to hide a burn mark, I would appreciate it.

This is not what I wanted to speak about though. I think I may have been cursed? Or someone is pranking me.

So my question is this: Has anyone else felt a strong emotion and their appearance starts changing? I wasn't like this yesterday.

Ah, did you get the burn treated? Make-up could probably hide it once it's healed though if it left a scar...

I had wings pop out of my back the other day! Do you mean like that? It was when I got excited but now I can control when they appear!

[icyboy]

I don't know if it will scar, I'm just worried about infection. I don't get burned too often.

Yes! Though mine were pointed ears and some fur. Though it feels like something was stuck in a pant leg as well.

[That was a tail, Chongyun...]

[blurrier]

Mm, maybe a doctor or healer will have better advice. I know some first aid stuff but burns can be different severities...

A... A pant leg...?

Oh, maybe like some sort of animal transformation? Do you still have them or did they go away?

[icyboy]

I may go to the doctor tomorrow if it gets worse.

Animal? And no... once I calmed down, everything went back to normal.

[blurrier]

That would probably be best!

Yeah, like if you had pointy ears then it could have been a cat, or maybe a fox? Oh!! Was the pants leg thing a tail, maybe?

I haven't actually heard of ppl getting animal parts but with everything else that happens here I guess I wouldn't be super surprised... I do have a friend with cat ears but she already had them back on her own world before she came here.

[icyboy]

I don't know if it was a cat. The ears felt longer than those I've seen on a cat.

How did you learn to control your wings?

A cat eared friend sounds interesting. I think I've seen somemone like that around.

[blurrier]

Maybe some type of fox then... was the tail thin or bushy??

I just kinda... Concentrated and folded them, and then kept folding them and they disappeared. They still come out sometimes when I'm not expecting them, but I can also do it on purpose. It feels sorta like... Shrugging?

[This is a little hard to explain but hopefully he's doing okay??? It also.. is probably a little different with ears and tails ..]

[icyboy]

I'm not sure, I wear long pants and it was stuck in one of the legs.

Shrugging? I'm not sure I could do that with ears and a tail...

[blurrier]

Ah, yeah, that might be hard to do...

You said it was when your emotions were strong or something? Could you make them come out again by like... Watching an emotional or scary movie? 😯

[icyboy]

Scary movies don't make me emotional.

[They're too fake most of the time.]

I think I was excited about some of the haunted house tours coming up on some of the YouTube channels I watch since it will be October soon.

[blurrier]

Oh, horror movies scare me real easily lol

So it was when you were excited... If that's it, then it will probably happen again as it gets closer to October and the haunted house tours, right? Because you like spooky things?

[icyboy]

My friends don't seem to care for them either.

Not just spooky things! Ghosts and spirits are what I want to see.

[blurrier]

oh so those things specifically
why do you want to see them? have you always been interested in ghosts?

[icyboy]

Yes! I've never seen one in person, and I really want to.

[fiddlestick]

[Well. That's a relevant question to Elliot, being cursed himself]

How does your appearance change?

[icyboy]

Ears, fur, and possibly a tail. I didn't want to look in the mirror, so it's just the things I felt.

[fiddlestick]

That certainly sounds like a curse..

Did anything happen? Do you remember any spells being cast on you?

[icyboy]

No? If it happened, then it was while I was seeping. It was my birthday yesterday, so maybe it is some kind of birthday joke by someone?

[fiddlestick]

While you were sleeping?

If it was meant to be a joke, it's a pretty twisted one.

[icyboy]

I have a friend who likes to tease me and play pranks on me, but I have a feeling that it wasn't him this time.

[fiddlestick]

Yeah, I hope not. This is more serious than a normal prank.

As far as I know, there aren't much in the way of cures for curses.

[icyboy]

Wait. So I'm stuck with this?

[fiddlestick]

Unfortunately, most likely. At least, I haven't heard of anyone coming up with a cure for a curse.

I'm sorry.

[icyboy]

Great...

Thank you. I'll keep researching.

[fiddlestick]

Good luck.

Though, if you ever have trouble controlling it, I have a potion that makes it a little easier.

I made it after I got cursed by the Fae.

[icyboy]

A potion? Are you a chemist?

[fiddlestick]

Eheh, not really! I just got really tired of turning into a cat every time I got stressed, so I decided to do some research on potion making and make a DIY fix.

[You know, as normal people do]

[icyboy]

[......]

You don't like being a cat?

[fiddlestick]

Not when I have stuff to do. Kinda hard to get anything done when you don't have thumbs.

[icyboy]

That's true.

My hands haven't changed, but I can't imagine it's easy to do human things when that small.

[fiddlestick]

Ehe, yeah not at all! Didn't help that it gets triggered by stress, and I have anxiety issues, soooo....

Yeah. Developing a potion was pretty necessary.

[icyboy]

My change was triggered when I felt excited. Though if stress can trigger it, school would be hard.

If this gets worse, I might need to come to find you for a potion.

[fiddlestick]

Excited huh? Well at least you know what to look out for.

Sure! I'd be happy to help.

[icyboy]

I will see if other extreme feelings affect it, too, of course.

Thank you. I'll try and keep anyone worried updated.
