[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!

[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.

None taken...! I'm more worried about you. Things worse than curses is so sad!

[k2so]

Oh, don't be. [What a sweet kid.]

My world was at war and my team and I were soldiers. But we learned that the war ended and peace was restored to the galaxy, so it's all fine now. Kind of. [They still died, you see.]

[stillsmiling]

But when wars end, everyone still loses.

[Shi still worries. He isn't confident enough to keep pushing the topic, but he can't shake how sad it is.]

Thanks for working hard for your world, though. You must be really brave.

[k2so]

true. There's never winners, only survivors.

[ this is exactly why Shi is a sweetheart ]

No more than others but thank you. There's peopel who had sacrificed more than I did, like my partner. He had been fighting since he was as young as you.

[stillsmiling]

Really...? That's so sad. You can't be a kid again.

[Except during Easter, apparently.]

Does he get to rest here?

[k2so]

Sadly.

Yes, being in this world gave us a second chance at a normal life. It's more than we ever had.

[stillsmiling]

Well... I'm glad for that, at least. Are you both able to calm down and enjoy it? It must be so different. I still haven't gotten used to being treated normally yet, and I was just a Curse.

[k2so]

We had made a home here which is not something we ever expected to have. We are really happy.

I hope it only gets even better for you.

[stillsmiling]

You too... But, uh. Right! If you need help with curses, I can do my best to be useful!

[k2so]

Got it. Just come by the Attleton office any day. Until then, take care kid.
