[ alli why do we never ship 🥺 ]

... How're you feeling, Gale?

[alldoomnogloom]

[ WELL WE SHOULD JUST NOT THIS PROBLEMATIC PAIRING. ]

I am alright, considering the circumstances. Simply considering a few options. Say-- if you had your wish, what would you use it for?

[turbulency]

[ That's sudden. ]

I'd probably get rid of curses. What about you?

[alldoomnogloom]

That is what I was considering. What exactly I should use the wish for.

[turbulency]

Have you got a partner?

[ I thought... ]

[alldoomnogloom]

Yes.

My previous partner died, and I was able to partner with someone else in the same situation.

... What are curses, to you? The general concept of a curse?

[ as in the magic spell. not cussing. geto bans the word fuck ]

[turbulency]

[ Huh. ]

Well, I guess I'd get rid of cursed energy, which is what creates curses—or cursed spirits.

Cursed energy is the negative energy humans create. Things like fear, jealousy, that kind of thing. Cursed spirits are born from that energy, and then kill humans.

[alldoomnogloom]

Huh.

[ well he definitely sounds interested. ]

Not out of the realm of possibility in our world either - strong negative emotions can certainly cause all sorts of problems, especially when magically inclined. Curses and afflictions of all kinds can be sourced to a particularly powerful arcane user summoning something like through misguided emotion.

But I imagine this is a problem that plagues quite a few people where you are from then, if it is something you wish to get rid of?

[turbulency]

I feel like emotion and power usually don't mix.

[ Which is why...

Hm. ]

Tens of thousands of humans die to curses every year. If there's a benefit to having cursed energy—some kind of balance—I don't know what it is.
