The curses have finally found me it seems.

I wish I had rainbows instead, but what was it you said about wishes, Yuuko?

And Gabriel, the rain falls not on the righteous and the unrighteous, hm? It has taken to being more discriminate today.

Quite an idea for my first curse.

The City truly has a gift for choosing the most thoughtful of presents.

Der Krieg, wie

Er glitzert wie die zerbrochene Bierflasche in der Sonne
an der Bushaltestelle vor dem Altersheim

Er raschelt wie das Manuskript des Ghostwriters
auf der Friedenskonferenz

Er flackert wie der bläuliche Widerschein des Fernsehers
auf den somnambulen Gesichtern

Er riecht wie der Stahl der Maschinen im Fitness-Studio
wie der Atem des Leibwächters auf dem Flughafen

Er röhrt wie die Rede des Vorsitzenden
Er bläht sich wie die Fatwah im Munde des Ajatollah

Er zirpt wie das Videospiel auf der Diskette des Schülers
Er funkelt wie der Chip in Rechenzentrum der Bank

Er breiter sich aus wie die Lache hinter dem Schlachthof

Atmet
raschelt
bläht sich
riecht

wie

How fascinating, in its error, perhaps, or its truth. Does this interest you, teacher?

This may be a sign that I'm running short of reading materials.

A happy Valentine's day to you all.


[ooc: Nina will get mirror installed on one wall of her living room, and the customary chocolate with an anonymous message: "I have let the world devour you. I have let it, ever so afraid, to turn into words and steal you. When will it return you to me?"

Major will get wine and chocolates with an anonymous note: "I'm sad to say that champagne is for celebrating"

Ptolemy will get chocolates and a "Thank you" note.

Beloved tutored kids will get chocolates too ♥]

Doctor Tenma, welcome to the City.

I hope the curse yesterday was not too unpleasant for you.

Perhaps you may be kind enough to join my sister and I for lunch tomorrow? There is so much I would like to talk to you about. I believe there is much you would like to ask me as well.

I take my leave.

Should anyone need me, I may still be contacted through the network.

Thank you for the dance, sister. One dance with you is surely worth more than thousands with others.

And I believe it is time again to write down New Year's Resolutions. I would be glad to have you share some of yours, if you do not mind.

There is an orphanage in the City, perhaps I may be allowed to help?

I'm afraid I have no professional experience with children, though I volunteered at a day care center for awhile. I don't wish to do this for money, merely to use my time for better causes.

Gabriel, perhaps you will not be so disappointed of me now.
