I'm not sure you can avoid it. The coral and the bubble like to play these kinds of games! It's all a part of the fun of this world.

This isn't fun, it's ridiculous. How long is this going to last? I have to know what needs to be done to protect my own sanity.

Usually about a week. You just have to find a way to enjoy it. Certainly there is something about this you like! The coral or the powers that be try to at least make this fun for everyone here.

What is there to like about everyone dressing up in ridiculous costumes and going on 'adventures'? What adventures could they possibly have?

There are lots of fun things! If you like fighting then there are monsters. If you like helping people then you can collect items. If you like treasure then you can go on a treasure hunt!

...do I need an absurd outfit to ward off the monsters?

It's all part of the game! You probably don't need it but it adds to the effect.

Sorry, but I'm not here to play games. If it serves some kind of practical purpose, I can take care of the creatures, but don't take that as an invitation to get wrapped up in these shenanigans.

This world certainly does like it's shenanigans but that is what keeps it interesting.

Calm down. You don't actually have to join in on this one if you don't want to.

Don't get used to it, though. Most curses pretty much shove you in kicking and screaming.

I suppose if the city isn't imploding on itself, I can tolerate it for a time. I can't speak for any prior events, but from the sounds of it, the light-heartedness is refreshing.

Just don't drag me in kicking and screaming. I don't pull off feathered hats well.

Curses can be annoying, and some are upsetting, but I've never seen one where the city was actually in any danger.

[He can't say the same for other incidents, though.]

Speaking from my own experience, you'd make a terrible bard.

I don't know what you're talking about. I am the pinnacle of peace and justice.

You're thinking Paladin. A bard is a musician and entertainer.

And I'm pretty sure they're the only ones who wear funny hats.

... well them and Clerics. My brother got stuck with one. It's really dumb looking.

...I'm starting to wonder if this 'curse' should come with a manual. I'm only familiar with the little media Ratchet was able to show me from time to time, and even then I didn't understand most of it.

[Thank you for reminding him of Ratchet, Alister...]

It could probably use one. It's pretty basic compared to some of the games I've seen, though.

It looks like for this there's... six classes.

Warriors - basic fighters, mostly swordsmen, some other weapons users. Very little magic.

Rouge - thief, sneaky types that rely on a lot of stealth and cunning and basically everything I don't have (I'm a warrior, by the way)

Cleric - healing and magic types

Mage - purely magic, think wizards or sorcerers

Beast Master - just like it sounds like, has an animal companion it can use to battle with

Bard - entertainer, musician, usually kept around to give like... moral boosts and stuff to the rest of their party.

How's that for a manual?

Much more helpful, thank you.

Though I do have one question: why are only a majority of us affected, such as yourself? Is this due to certain traits an inhabitant might have, or...?
