[It's been some time, but Shi likes to think that he has A PLAN. His powers are fading without faith, and while he hates being a curse he has recently seen some silverlining to it... Though, none of that means he has necessarily come up with a stellar solution.]

N-Nice to meet you all...! If I haven't already. I mean-- I'm Shi. Hello! I um-- wait. I am Shiro, the Curse Kami! I... I can collect bad luck, so if you're having a bad day, then you should call me! I'll sponge up any bad luck for you, so you can be happier again. I'll do my best, s-so... Please believe in me!

[action]
[Meanwhile, Shi can be found just about anywhere around Genessia with a book in his lap and serious expression on his face. The book is either clearly about magic or about bad luck and superstitions. In particular, Shi is taking notes about objects he can try to store his bad luck in.

If anyone passes by too close, Shi might tilt his gaze upward with a nervous expression.] Um. Excuse me... Could you turn this page for me? My hand is frozen again.

You collect bad luck? Seriously? Man, that would'a been useful when my sister put a curse on me.

Course that was actually a weird ghost, but still.

[stillsmiling]

Y-Yes! It's one of my abilities as a Curse Kami..!

Do you need help right now, or..?

[howamanlives]

Not unless you can also make good luck happen and bring my partner here, no, I don't think so.

[Elize was just out and about bouncing a weird plush doll around like a bouncy ball when someone stopped her for help.]

Umm... Okay?

[It was a weird request. While she's thinking about why he can't, that's when the plush doll started floating on its own and approached Shi.]


Why are your hands frozen? It's not that cold out.

[stillsmiling]

If it's too weird, you don't have to...!

[He flusters, embarrassed now. Maybe he's asking too much from a stranger?]


I, uh... I just can't. I use magic to move and I don't have as much magic as I used to.

[teepokisses]

[It's no trouble. Elize likes being useful and making friends. She goes ahead and turns the page for him.]

I've never heard of anyone needing magic to move before.


Anyone other than me, of course.


Do you want to try holding Teepo, see if he can give your mana lobe a boost?

[allforthem]

The Curse Kami..what a name, but you're so cute!

[Sayaka laughed, wanting to pinch those cheeks]

So if I just..believe in you, all my bad luck will go away?

[stillsmiling]

[... Shi isn't sure!!! Since his powers are faith based, then maybe??? But since they're faith based, he also shouldn't say anything to make her not believe it? ugh, this is hard.]

S-Something like that! If you have faith, I can definitely take your curses away! I will do my best..!

[allforthem]

Hm..

[she brought up her soul gem, still looking speckal-y..but not bad!]

Can you remove these little curses? [pauses and smirks widely]

....I believe you can do it.

[k2so]

Oh.

Do you work by the hour? How much do your services cost?

[stillsmiling]

Huh? N-No, it's free! I don't know, uh... I'm just happy not to be killed!

[k2so]

Oh then great, we don't have a lot of money. But get killed? Is someone threatening to hurt you if you don't work?

[quick_clean_pure]

How's that work, the sponging bad luck thing? Sounds pretty damned useful.

[stillsmiling]

Ehehe... I-It's just what I do. I can collect Curses and Bad Luck and then... move them elsewhere.

[quick_clean_pure]

Not a bad gift to have. So I'm assuming that makes you the luckiest person around?

[crapton_of_luck]

How does that work anyway?

[Not that he needs it (he is the luckiest guy in the universe -- multiverse? Yeah we'll go with that-- after all) but he's honestly curious about how it works.]

[stillsmiling]

Eh? Um... Well... I'm a Curse Kami... It's just what I do. Absorb bad luck and put it somewhere... else.

[crapton_of_luck]

Where else? Or is just someplace random?

[occultfan]

You collect bad luck?

[To her, that sounded absolutely interesting.]

I don't have any myself, but how does that work exactly?

[stillsmiling]

Y, yes. Um... I just sap it up like a sponge! Eheh. It's easy?

Do you really not have bad luck? That's so great!

[occultfan]

I don't think so. If I did I would have found it quite interesting.

[She smiled.]

But I understand what you meant though.

[demonofbadluck]

[Someone who collects bad luck. Well damn. This was probably his biggest enemy right now considering some of his tricks involve making people have bad luck. This could prove a problem.]

An interesting little gift you have there, but life would be boring if all bad luck were to disappear.

[stillsmiling]

Ehehe. I'm sure it won't be boring! If they don't have to worry about chance getting in their way, humans can work hard and not feel discouraged!

[video]

[hotheadwarmheart]

Someone who sucks up bad luck, huh? Well, I've heard of weirder things.

[No seriously, he has. At least he believes, for the most part.]

Sucking up other people's bad luck doesn't make you more unlucky though, does it? Cause you really don't seem like you've got a lot of luck to spare at the moment.

[stillsmiling]

W-Well... Even if it does, I would rather that. I'm a Curse Kami! Maybe being lucky is part of my job anyway?

And it makes people feel better to know they're not cursed.
