For once, I feel like I ought to say thank you, to whoever comes up with curses.

IMAGE ATTACHED;


I could swear they were more comfortable yesterday, though.

Curses like this past weekend- No one should have to adjust to the kinds of things--

As always, there's never a real chance to rest between curses. I've always thought, if the City has one positive effect, it's building and reinforcing resilience.

You can never say back to normal, here, but I hope everyone is recovering well.

Maybe the less said about it, the better.

I'm looking for Dr. John Watson. I believe I have something of yours.

[Private to Chase]

Are you free, some evening soon?

[Private to Wilson]

Do you need to-

How are you?

Past experience would suggest, in spite of the past week's chaos, that it's worth being careful tomorrow. Just because we've had a curse already doesn't mean we won't have another.

Wearing costumes might be asking for trouble. It often is.

Two of those weekends in one month. I don't remember that ever happening, for as long as I've been here. Does that kind of chaos better serve the Deities' aims, I wonder? Is it due to sensory adaptation, to the fact that curses don't shock us as much as they used to? One would think bringing new Citizens into captivity would compensate for that, but maybe isn't enough.

Or maybe it's just a clerical error.

Needless to say, I hope it doesn't become a pattern. Though, at least if it did, we'd just get used to it.

Which would be the intelligent thing to do now, are you really letting yourself be guilted into it?
I usually make it a point not to apologize for curses, given the nature of the City and what
The entire point of curses seems to be to make people miserable, why wouldn't you want to mitigate that as much as possible?
Because she didn't do anything! Not really, this whole thing is just an exercise in pointless embarrassment!
happens here; I don't think we should have to feel responsible for actions we didn't willingly take.
Why is it embarrassing? If you think she didn't do anything wrong there's nothing to be embarrassed about, is there?
We shouldn't bring it up at all. It's not like anyone else is going to say they're sorry for what they said.
That being said... Under the circumstances I do want to apologize for Sunday. Not because I meant
That doesn't necessarily mean they aren't. Look at it this way, it's setting a better example than staying silent would be.
What, forgive and forget?
anything I said or did-- I certainly didn't-- but, because I don't want misinformation to be spread.
Apologizing the right thing to do.
Then we can't forgive anyone if they don't, and everyone else was just as pointlessly cruel.
So, I wanted to clarify-- all the... implications I made about my colleagues are entirely false. Dr.
But it wasn't their fault.
It wasn't hers either! How many people called her a whore, or worse?
House and Dr. Wilson are not involved in a relationship, I respect Dr. Cuddy very much as a doctor and
I'm sure none of them meant it.
That doesn't take away the fact that they said it, if we have to apologize so do they.
a woman, and I am sorry for any aggressive or antagonistic behavior I displayed towards any of you.
It doesn't matter if they say it. Maybe they should, but even if they don't, it doesn't mean they meant it.
That's a double standard.
So what? [pause, finally paying attention to the real Cameron again.] That wasn't much of an apology you know...



[ooc; SCREAM sorry if that's impossible to read, they are all kind of talking at once >< First voice is the bitter, uptight, strict and honestly rather humorless Cameron; the other is Cameron's soft, compassionate, stuffed-animal-made-by-grandma side. <3]

[Public, but Flagged to Clinic / Hospital]

I'll be taking a brief vacation. If there's an emergency, let me know. Otherwise I'll be back to work in a few days.




[ooc; feel free to phone or actionspam her, here or on her random stuff post for the next few days, she will be laying low and sulking hating everybody ^^;]

It looks like we can put away our snowboots, at least for the moment. Snow in June was unexpected, but I suppose it's the City's typical style. Does it go both ways-- are there midwinter beach days, too?

I hope everyone's all right after yesterday... Curses like that, I think, lend some credence to the idea that the City in some way thrives on our emotions. Positive or negative. More of the latter than the former... maybe it's just common to hate your father. Disturbingly Oedipal, if that's the case...

Maybe I ought to get out more, maybe--

[Filtered to Clinic / Hospital / Any medical folks involved with buggy illnesses]

Is it just me, or have reports of new cases slowed down a little?


[ooc; dflkjgjd passing out! will tag more tomorrow ;___; sorry bbyz <3]

...I don't remember much about the other day. Just... someone breaking in, and...

Well. I'm fine, now. So I guess it doesn't really matter.
