Ah.

There are too many variables.

If it is something in this room, or something on my person, that is dampening my reiatsu... or something in the City.

Then, how large is the radius of influence exerted by said item, how strong is it's ability to dampen those stronger than myself, if it will dampen others, and not only I-

...

Mayuri-sama, if you will excuse me a moment.

Citizens, please educate yourself in order to cut down on the amount of complaints and "whining" come the end of this sort of curse.

For those who have just now experienced this phenomenon for the first time, I will explain.

From time to time, and in the past three months, once a month, there is a two day period of time in which various curses that have occurred in the pass occur again, and many persons are afflicted with many seperate conditions.

Oft seen "repeat" curses include the changing of one's age or gender, and various other conditions are possible as well, including pointless changing of one's speaking patterns, and also more potentially dangerous afflictions such as changing one's nature, memory, or past.

Exercise caution, restraint when able, and you should be "fine".

...

I would remind citizens to kindly cease and desist such useless action, but I realize it would be pointless.

It has come to my attention that Mayuri-sama is being unduly harassed by several citizens of this City, as well as members of our own world.

It would be best if all were to remember that Mayuri-sama is the captain of the 12th division, and his actions are to be his own, and sanctioned by those other than yourselves.

Kindly cease and desist.

A bill shall be delivered to cover the cost of lost equipments and materials.

( [Operations] )

If this program has been initialized, my creator, Kurotsuchi Mayuri, has arrived in the City.

Undoubtedly, if shinigami or quincy are present, they either plan to or have already cautioned the populace regarding the dangers of interacting with Mayuri-sama.

It would be in one's best interest to no longer interact with my person, nor to approach Mayuri-sama.

If someone whom I know would secure my apartment, and the contents and animal within, I would be grateful.

Thank you, and my apologies.

[ooc; so- the last people will be hearing from Nemu in a while. She'll respond to comments, but responses can be assumed to be at a later time (since this is activated remotely to post, she'll have to wait till Mayuri is elsewhere to reply, see?) And yeah, asking someone to take care of her cat, crai |D]

I am somewhat torn between relegating this day as a parody of the living world's "Sixties", and a more general "Armistice". Both, I suppose, shall be noted.

For those planning to ingest drugs classified in some societies as illegal, taboo, or dangerous: please remember to detox or seek medical aid after this curse if you have ingested, injected, inhaled, or in some other creative manner dosed yourself with a potentially dangerous substance, especially if you have never before used said substance, or if you are unaware how said substance may interact with non-human or "super/sub human" bodies.

Lysergic acid diethylamide, commonly known on "the streets" as "LSD", is a semisynthetic psychdelic drug commonly associated with visual hallucinations including geometric patterns and colored lights, as well as warped sense of time and space or loss of ego awareness. Effects generally last in a constant form from 6 to 12 hours depending on the body, so if effects do not dissipate within that time frame, you may wish to seek medical attention. For those experiencing a "bad trip", seek the administration of an anxiolytic agent, and limit your stimulus, such as bright lights and loud noises.

Cannabis, while potentially hazardous to one's health, is not likely harmful to humans after one-time usage, only long-term inhalation has been definitively linked to medical problems such as increased risk of heart attack, stroke, and abnormalities in the brain due to high ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, and nitrogen oxides in marijuana smoke. If you have reason to believe your make-up may be intolerant of this substance, please seek medical aid. Otherwise, simply monitor your condition for the next twenty four hours and react accordingly.

For fungi such as Psilocybe Cubensis or other psychedelic mushrooms, or, "magic mushrooms" (though I assure you there is no magic involved) are non-addictive, but are commonly known to cause stomach upset, pulse and blood pressure increase, and weakness in the limbs. Effects generally last 3 to 7 hours, and encompass both emotional swings and sensory perception warping- some may experience synesthesia. General senses of well-being, satisfaction, and "spirituality" may be experienced as well. If you ingested more than 3.5 grams of a fungi in this classification, you may wish to be cautious and seek medical aid, as that is considered a "heavy" dose.

Once this curse has ended, please consult if you are concerned over your possible drug consumption. If you have overdosed, or are reacting poorly to a substance, please seek medical aid.

Please use all drugs responsibly. I should hope we all are aware of the dangers of unprotected sex, or, "free love". Please use protection.

Thank you.

I could say "I had forgotten"-

But that would be a lie. I do not practice untruths. Merely omissions, which are- Not by literal definition, lies.

It is always a possibility that he return here, and possibility I return there to his side.

How wrong, of me, to think I have grown so apart from him. Two years, and I... have changed. To admit it is also wrong, but I- As long as I still obey him, it will be enough, won't it? I must wrap up all my independent studies post haste.

May I say one thing? To all of those who I have met in this City... and all who have called me "friend"- Thank you. I am... grateful, to you. I know I have difficulties expressing such intent and emotion, but I am.

If, as Mayuri-sama said, I am to be decommissioned and rebuilt- Then I wish to say this now before he finds out, who calls me such a name, who treats me so before it is past time.

I am grateful. Thank you.

[ooc; g- god this sounds like a suicide note D| aka, Daddy Mayuri's arrival the other day re-put stuff in perspective for abused daughter Nemu- so she wants to thank people and wrap up her affairs before... trying to distance herself from people again, orz.]

Mayuri-sama.

Your presence- It has been over a year- I have been- I did not wa- ?

...

I have waited for you.

[ooc; she sees you commentin' Mayuri...]

While I do not suffer any embarrassment nor lingering senses of shame or discomfort from curses, I do begrudge them the time lost to me. I have two rather important projects underway at the moment, that I most appreciate for occupying my time and skills, and I do not like to be disturbed.

It may be worth noting, however, that such a curse theme has been done in the past, as well as lately. How ironic, that I occupied the same position in faculty. I content still that, yes, while I have been called in to impartially explain the process of sexual intercourse before, I do not think I could make a living doing it.

Moving on.

I request information from any parties on the status of one Otonashi Saya and her "Chevalier" Hagi. I have data results to convey to them, possible medical advice, and a cause for concern due to the post to this network by her "sister".

In addition. I seek a living model of a male body, with "average" physical appearence with which to base a gigai form from. I am not appropriate to create such an image on my own- my creativity is surely not enough to cover such a debatable aesthetic topic.

Any model would be compensated for their time.

Thank you.

As you are all undoubtedly aware, unless you have not looked at your syllabus the entire semester, or completely ignored any and all fretting over said event, finals are upon you, students.

I have been told in reviews that my class is "too hard", that I am "too detached from my students" and am "hard to reason with". I am told I should apologize for this, and so, I apologize. If you would wish to... "bond" or "connect" with me on some level, I do have office hours.

With that social matter out of the way.

Your Sexual Education final is cumulative, it will take you the full allotted time, and there will be an oral and demonstrative component.

Anyone who giggles, makes inappropriate remarks, or innuendo, will be failed. This is Sexual Education, it is not "Practice of Sex", "Sexual Positions", or "How to Hook Up". You will take this seriously.

Please do not forget to bring your textbooks for return, and do not forget to bring your own banana.

Thank you.

I don't really think this is necessary-

( manga pages; abuse at the hands of her father )

... It's not necessary.

Hypothetically speaking, suppose that you were a new arrival to this City, and that you were handed a guide to explain your predicament.

Beyond the following, what would you like to see in said guide?

✗ Introduction
✗ Deities
✗ Curses
✗ Living (residences, entertainment, product availability, travel, etc.)
✗ The nature of "being stuck"
✗ Expectation of power dampening
✗ Judicial and Police systems
✗ Monetary explanation
✗ Medical availability
✗ Death and its symptoms
✗ Proof of attempts at various endeavors (escape, attack on the deities, etc.)
✗ "Reassurance"

In other words. I am seeking... advice, from my "fellow citizens". Please provide input.

It is reasonable to assume the curse, on this day, may be based upon the concept of the "Seven Sins", as, viewing the network, it seems many people are suddenly propositioning others for sexual intercourse, refusing to exert themselves, coveting others' possessions, lauding their own selves, desiring more than what they own, becoming angry, and exceedingly hungry.

It is a theory, at the very least.

Of all of the problems that may arise from this sort of curse, I caution most against acting on "wrath" and "lust".

Those who have friends affected by anger, I advise you either restrain them, or stay clear of them, so that if they are capable of injuring you, they will not feel upset by it, should they manage it, on the 'morrow.

Those who have, or are affected by sexual desire... I am afraid I cannot truly advise you. As one who has experienced this curse before... no. I do not properly understand the shame that derides from sexual coitus. It is merely a physical act, and yet, because of social standards and moral obligations imposed by authority, people are meant to be ashamed by acting so, and thus, these actions lead to the most discomfort on the "morning after".

Perhaps I advise those who are affected take care of it themselves, or, like myself, simply ignore it. A state of arousal is uncomfortable, to say the least, but it is not something one will die from.

... of course, I suppose many may like to take the opportunity to "get laid" any way.

"Good luck".

Katan, though I am sure you also feel the same, I will still offer an apology for my behavior. As you well know, I am not allowed to become enamored in such a way as to abandon duty, nor do I have inclination or likelihood of "love", despite the admittance to the fact that the both of us do "get along". However, I do still value your... friendship, if we may use that word.

For a more serious notice. I shall make this most noticeable to the populace, please excuse me these garish actions.

WHO HAS INTEREST IN REVISING THE "CITY GUIDE"?

As most know, this is the guide most often given to newcomers in this place. While most informative, it suffers from being dated. The City, as we call it, being one that seems under constant evolution, much like living beings over time, may require an "updated" guide.

I have seen several mentions on this network of late, and I propose it be done. Are there lost willing, with information compiled? My notes for Mayuri-sama that pertain to this place's nature are not classified, and may be shared freely.

If there are interested parties who have things to contribute, I would not mind compiling, or if another wishes compile, I likewise do not mind contributing.

Please inquire or state intentions below.

Thank you.

Ah... these emotions... are entirely inappropriate... and yet-

I can justify them, can I not? We are... "similar", we... would get along well, I believe- Perhaps... these emotions have been here all along... perhaps I have been... supressing them, all this time-

... Mayuri-sama would not approve. In fact- I am quite sure I would be so severely punished for this, but... I care not...

...

Katan... I made you something.

If you would accept it? I see that... there is a rival for your affections, but- If you cannot return my offer of affection, then I understand.

[ooc; oh. so. very. cursed]

... I recognize this curse. The motley assortment of curses we have experienced before that occurs every few months and usually lasts for a period of three days.

Mister... Yuri Lowell. My apologies for being handcuffed to you. Please feel free to help yourself to any thing in my residence. There is enough food in the pantry that I am sure you will be able to find something that suits your taste? Do not worry about my comfort, as I am currently unemployed and living off savings, I have no where I "need to be" today.

... Ukitake-taichou, I believe I need to issue a formal apology.

[ooc; handcuffed to notflynn.]

... It seems that, unless Mister Styles has not returned to work with no reason or contact, vacated his place of residence, and hung his portrait in the Hall of the Missing, then he has left this City.

Upon finishing the paperwork for today, I will see about further organizing his files with Ise Nanao's lead and looking in to instructions regarding possible departure.

... thank you for your patience.

If I were like others, I may say... "I resolve to serve Mayuri-sama better", or... "I resolve to strive for an escape, for those of my world to return home, or perhaps... "I resolve to try further at... 'being more human'".

But I fear I am not the type for resolutions.

I would wish a happy new year, to those who appreciate such a thing. The passing of years hold no meaning for me. It has been years since my creation, and I imagine, if I continue to serve him well, it may be years yet before Mayuri-sama deigns my deconstruction.

For those whose lives are uncertain, who... value the time they are given...

I suppose a new year must be something to celebrate, lest the passage of time be viewed as a reminder of a mortal's own mortality.

...

That is perhaps... too morbid.

Happy New Year.
