12th prediction; video; August 9th, afternoon

[Hyoubu smiles at the communicator.]

So. I have five dollars. [He waves the five dollar bill in his hand a little.] And I'll give it to anyone who'd be willing to help me curse someone.

Before anyone asks: no it's not going to be one of your friends. The target is someone from my own world so I doubt any of you would know him.

Previous experience would be nice but not required. I took out some resources already so I can give you a run down of how I want this done. If you want to curse someone else while you do this, you're free to do that. Just know that I won't pay you extra for that.

[Mostly, he's just doing this to see what kind of response he gets more than a genuine attempt to actually curse someone. Though he won;t complain if it turns out the curse works.]

You really assume there's people offering such services here?

[ Not even judging him since Masako herself is pretty awful as well, but she's just genuinely curious.. it's something to keep in mind in case she'll ever need it, after all. ]

[atleast80]

Not really. I'm just assuming there must be at least one idiot here who would do anything for a quick buck.

[huntressing]

Sure, but.. it's not like there would be normally people who could curse others. Especially not in this place considering it takes away people's powers.

[ Unless BREW were giving away powers that allowed people to curse others, but would they really be that stupid? ]

[atleast80]

Well, magic exists in this world so why wouldn't curses? If we use methods created in this world it could work!

[huntressing]

[ That logic does make sense. A little bit, at least - enough for Masako to consider how she could use that sort of thing for her own gain.. ]

Wouldn't you have to ask a witch about that though? They seem to be the ones who mostly use magic.

[atleast80]

I would...except I don't think the Witches are the kind to sit down for a quick chat over tea, so I think I'll pass.

[huntressing]

[ A chuckle. ]

Too scared to ask them?

[atleast80]

[He may look like a teenager but he's hardly going to react like one. So he just shrugged.]

I'd say I just have a healthy sense of self-preservation.

Besides, that stupid four eyes isn't really worth the effort.

[huntressing]

"Stupid four eyes"..? It does seem like you have some sort of grudge.

[ Is this gossip going around or something.. ]

[likethelight]

[ are... you... ]

[video] 2/2

[likethelight]

Curses don't come that cheaply.

[ not even missing a beat. ]

[video]

[atleast80]

Are you sure? What about if I increased it to seven dollars?

[video]

[likethelight]

I'd be careful of getting your money's worth.

[video]

[atleast80]

[He shrugs.]

What's the worst that could happen?

[Famous last words, he knows. But still...in a place without powers, how bad could it be?]

[video]

[likethelight]

[ ... ]

You must not curse many people very often if you say that.

[ WHY GOD WHY DID HE STOP TO RESPOND TO YOU EVEN IN JEST.

WHY GOD WHY IS HE NOT RUNNING THE HELL AWAY FROM THIS CONVERSATION oh this must be what masochism is ]

[video]

[atleast80]

I'll admit: it's not really my area of expertise.

[He tilts his head, feigning curiosity.]

What about you?

[video]

[likethelight]

[ thank god that it isn't

? ] What about me?

[Video] Later in the evening after she gets back from her mission...

[vintage_magic]

Land sakes! I thought I told you not to play with this kind of thing!

[Not exactly what she wanted to come home to after an afternoon of hiking through the woods and Bigfoot hunting...]

[Video]

[atleast80]

I'm not playing with it. I'm paying someone to play with it. There's a difference, you know.

[Video]

[vintage_magic]

Well, you shouldn't be doing that either.

[Video]

[atleast80]

Probably not. [He admits that easily enough.] But if someone wants to take me up on my offer...well. Who am I to stop them?

[Video]

[vintage_magic]

I would hope that they all know better.

[Video]

[atleast80]

I was sure there must be someone who doesn't know better...but I'll admit I haven't been having much luck so far.

[Video]

[vintage_magic]

Haven't you considered casting curses is the type of thing witches are always getting accused of? [What sensible person would take him up on his offer with that?]

[Video]

[atleast80]

I have, actually. But the possibilities were too good to pass up.
