║ thirty-eighth stanza ║ text | action for apartment

[Todd woke up early today, perhaps disturbed from his sleep by the fact that something was just not right, and discovered upon waking that he was, in fact, now a she. Upon making this discovery, he opted to retreat into the spare bedroom, where he has since been hiding out... and fully intends to remain for the rest of the day. Early on, he does make the following post.]

[text post]

I'm not really feeling very well, so I think I'm going to stay in today.

I'm sure the library will be fine, of course... I just wanted to let everyone know.

That's all.

[ooc: Why yes, Todd is a girl. Replies will come from

Are you cursed?

[Because no one calls in sick on curse weekends.]

[Truth be told, he doesn't really expect people to think he's sick... but well, it's always been a nice euphemism for curses you don't want to acknowledge.]

Yes.

Is it that bad?

Well, it's not "use a curse token" bad, but it is "not going outside" bad.

Should I try to guess which curse?

[Because he has some ideas.]

I guess you can, if you really want to?

[He wouldn't be the first one to figure it out, after all.]

You're a girl?

Apparently this is a lot more obvious than I thought.

[Well... the conversation below isn't locked...]

It won't last.

...That happened to me once. [Pay attention, Todd. This is Justin making a rare attempt to make someone feel better through humor.] I went to work. No one could tell I was cursed.

[Actually, it wasn't that funny.]

[Someday Todd will think of these things.]

Really? [If this was voice you might hear an involuntary girly giggle. Todd can be glad it's not voice, and Justin can be glad that he didn't have to hear that. The sound of his laugh is enough to put Todd back in his place, though.]

I don't think you really look like a girl.

[Well... the intention was to make Todd feel a bit better about his current situation. A little giggling would be permissible.]

I don't see a reason to make that up. Thank you, though.

Did you frighten Neil?

[It's okay... they can both be happier without it having been audible.]

I don't think you would, I just don't think you do look like a girl.

Well, I hid for a while. When he came to find me, I think he was at least disturbed. I don't know about scared.

[Justin's glad to hear that. Seriously.]

Disturbed? I would be more than disturbed if that curse hit Shilo.

[..... wait, Shilo is Justin's girlfriend. That comparison seems to indicate that there is at least one more person aware of Neil and Todd's relationship than Todd was aware of. Not that he strictly minds, but he'd like to be aware of these things.

Goodness, what an awkward thing to have to find a way to indirectly ask.]

Shilo? Your girlfriend?
