[TEXT]

Has anyone ever seen a naturally occurring medical condition present as a result of a curse?

I've seen infections spread by curse-induced vectors, but that's not entirely the same thing.




[ooc; fgfdg please forgive me + pretend this was earlier? Cameron is power-switched with Claire, and at the time of posting she thinks she has CIPA for the day. By the time she replies to comments she maaaay have noticed that's not quite the case :3]

Kind of? Maybe?

[as_damaged]

I think I remember. You were sick... about two years ago, wasn't it?

[inmyothertights]

Yeah, about two years ago. Wow.

Two years ago. I guess near-death makes it seem like less.

[as_damaged]

Time flies in the City.

As I recall, though, that was what I mentioned second-- the curse itself was insect-related, and the insects were what made people sick.

[inmyothertights]

So not what you mean, I guess.

[Some compulsion... compels...]

They might not be medical conditions, really, but we've had plagues and the common cold before. Something like what you're talking about doesn't sound that far fetched.

[as_damaged]

[oh joy. Cameron is thrilled, can you tell? Possibly not... since being painfully polite is one of her talents.]

That's true; I don't think I've ever seen those recur on mixed-curse days, but it's hardly impossible.

[adamantined]

I don't think we'll ever really be able to get to the bottom of the bag when it comes to the mixed curses. The deities just like pulling them out at random.

Do you have something? Maybe I could -

[as_damaged]

I think I must. It's nothing I can't manage, for a day.

[adamantined]

Is it something gross?

Don't try to make jokes, Claire.

That doesn't make it sound too serious. Which is a good thing.

[dr_conscience]

What sort of a condition are you talking about?

[Private | hackable by hospital people]

[as_damaged]

CIPA.

[orangetoughguy]

Say what?

[as_damaged]

Just an unfamiliar curse.

[orangetoughguy]

And you've been around long so it's a sure sign they're not running out of material.

[as_damaged]

I can't imagine they ever will.

[orangetoughguy]

So what's your problem?

[thenormalsquint]

I... don't think so? Why?

audio;

[as_damaged]

Curiosity.

It's nothing to worry about. Just a curse.

audio;

[thenormalsquint]

Cameron, you should know by now that telling me not to worry guarantees I will.

Which curse?

audio; private

[as_damaged]

I'm not exactly sure. I thought I'd developed a congenital neurological condition-- insensitivity to pain-- but that's not it. Not entirely, anyway.

I'm not sure if I'm even human, currently.

Please don't tell anyone.

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

...Yes.

What's wrong?

[as_damaged]

Nothing's wrong.

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

That proves something's wrong.

[as_damaged]

If I wasn't adept at dealing with curses by now, that would be a reason to worry.
