I am greatly alarmed by these curses. I most certainly have not encountered ones of this type before. Furthermore, how on earth can they target so many at once? What sinister presence could cast such evil magic? [A pause for recalling.] But this apparent change in behaviour concerns me the most. Such as people acting like or believing they are animals, for instance. I most definitely will not stand for people losing their identity.

[Even Marcello's been taken over by the curse; he's running a finger under the rim of his Abbot hat. And for those who know him, other things seem strange. He wears a symbol of his faith, and when he speaks he sounds like the caring person he was the day Angelo came to the abbey.]

In any case, I don't believe I've had the pleasure of meeting most of you before. My name is Marcello. Certainly, I will aid you in getting the relief you deserve, though my experience is in defending my dominion rather than expelling its evil. Regardless, I believe this head-wear will not remain irremovable for long. Just have faith. Everything will be fine.

Now, if you'll excuse me. I have important things to do and there are other people you can call upon; my brother Angelo for instance.

[He brings an arm across his chest and bows.]

I wish you all good health. Until we meet again, may the Goddess hold you in the palm of Her hand.

Who would have thought a simple hat, a thing people use everyday to keep their heads warm, or even to look rather odd in some cases cause something like this to happen.

[She's currently not wearing a hat herself as she doesn't have the right cosplay or outfit. Plus, bows are awesome.]

Though I am totally for the roleplay that people are doing. Some I rather enjoy, others not so much. I don't really see it as a bad thing.

[He closes his eyes and waves a hand.]

I must disagree, miss. This curse prevents people from being who they truly are. As entertaining as it may be for some people, it's important to be free and aware, don't you think?

So I was told. Actually that was to not judge people on first impression. In this case they could simply pretend they were doing some wonderful acting~

[Here, Marcello shakes his head.]

I believe first impressions are important; some people must be quite good at judging the personality of these strangers. Would you like to invite the devil inside your home?

[The curse changed some things; it didn't make him forget Dhoulmagus.]

[She folds her arms thinking for a moment.]

I like to believe I'm very good at characterization, so I believe I'm a good judge of character. So, the answer to your question is no. I woudln't

Good, good. I do agree of the importance of having faith in people. But I suppose some things are necessary.

Now, why don't you tell me your name? It's important to get to know one another, is it not?

My name is Renge Houshakuji, it's nice to meet you.

... Hm, the pleasure is mine.

Now, I most certainly hope that nothing ails you. I trust that you are in good health?

For the most part, yes I am in good health.

... For the most part? Then you are unwell, at least?

No, but I get a little worried because I'm in a place I'm not overly familiar with.

This is indeed a strange land.

I would take comfort in the fact you are not the only one far from home. After all, it is something we together have in common.

Yes, but I also away from everything I love and everything I owned. it's tragic really.

I do not think you or anyone else should dwell on what the sadness of it brings. Unless you aspire to become miserable? On second thought, if you wish to cry know that I am here if you just need somebody to listen.

I am not planning on to. I'm planning on working to gain what I had back home in one way or another.

Good. The intensity of work is good for the soul. I am impressed by your discipline.

Aside, I do not think your time within this place will be shorter than you expect. I trust that you are going to keep this focus? You seem very patient.

Well I consider this to be a extremely long holiday, but it's something I'm overly use to, so keeping at it is what I'll do best here.

Very good. Just never allow your persistance to turn into stubbornness.

As the saying goes, pride comes before a fall.

I know that saying, but not one I know from experience.

Interesting. Though you are from another world, you have heard those words.

They are something I try not to experience either.

Maybe not every world have different sayings. Some maybe said in many different worlds.

Yes. I suppose I can agree with that.

Certainly the danger of pride is a fundamental lesson. It is easy to understand why it transcends culture.

It is an easy thing to understand and we each in a way show pride in someway, even if we aren't meant to. I mean I'm very open about it honestly.

That is... quite a faithful way to live, certainly. I hardly used to show my feelings so openly. You must trust in people a great deal?

[He looks a little thoughtful. As pleasant as he was made by this curse, he remembered how he always controlled how he got close to people, in the past.]

I have great trust in a few. After they they helped me in a way, but I hope you show your feelings more.
