...Would someone please tell me why there is a full-grown lion on my bed?

<sub>[THIS IS THE WORST JOKE IN THE UNIVERSE, VATHEON. He just about had a heart attack when he woke up to see it just




lion around.

...Oh dear lord it's moving why is it coming towards him--Yeah, that just got Kimblee to scream and judging by the sudden slamming noises, he's attempting to put as much distance as he can between himself and the oversized 'house cat'.


Anyone inside of his apartment will quickly find the alchemist pinning the door to his bedroom shut and paler than a ghost. This is an awful day why him]</sub>

[He already figured a curse was going in the wee hours of the morning. Vanitas had nodded off during a movie and when he woke up to crawl to his room finally, he discovered the wardrobe change. He stayed up longer to fiddle around with the badge and find out he couldn't open his portals.

And now he was being woken up after a few hours of sleep to Kimblee screaming and a door slamming.

It couldn't be the outfit change, unless it was that terrible. Vanitas was still in his odd ruffling bard clothes as he pulled himself out of his room.

...that was not a sight he expected.]

What is it? [Looking from alchemist to the door and back again.]

<sub>[He's willing to overlook his own wardobe change for the time being though due to the bigger problem. Let's just sink to the floor while keeping his back against the door so he can pull the bandana up around his throat a bit more.

He looks terrified, doesn't he? Oh yeah, big time. He'll just ignore his shaking hands on top of everything else because Vanitas what does he do there is a lion in there.]</sub>

There's a--Don't go in there, all right?

[halfhearted]

Why? What's in there?

[He likes Kimblee's outfit much better than his own.

Couching down in front of the other.]

There is a curse going on. [Pawing around on Kimblee to try to find the little badge.]

<sub>[Vanitas what are you--

Vanitas.

Kimblee is just going to grab at his wrists and shoot him a look. What are you looking for?]</sub>

Take a wild guess, Vanitas.

[Rin isn't IN the apartments, but he's in close enough vicinity at this point in his wandering/questing that his ears actually catch all the commotion from where he's standing before he ever sees anything on the network.

It does get him to check, though.]

... mornin'. You might wanna stop screamin'. If this curse made you a Beast Master I reaaaally don't think you want your familiar to turn on you.

[Actually might want to amend that statement a little. He's pretty sure Kimblee has no idea what an RPG is so he has to search for a moment to come up with the simplest way to explain it.]

The curse basically threw us all in to a fantasy game, by the way.

[fulmination]

...A fantasy game.

<sub>[That makes... a lot of sense now that he's been fiddling with whatever video games Vanitas brings home, but he still doesn't like it.

Kimblee really doesn't like it. In fact, he's going to look over his shoulder at his door and lean against it a bit more to make sure it stays closed.]</sub>

I'm not going back in there to make friends with that beast. It's a miracle it didn't kill me in my sleep the way it is. _{[On the plus side it's....... not Heinkel???? But he still didn't like the look in his eyes, nopenope.]}

[keepsthefire]

It won't, and it'll listen to you if you just calm down.

[Does he have to come in there and give Kimblee a peptalk?]

[fulmination]

Calm down? I have a five hundred pound animal in my room and I have a bit of an issue with that particular species.

_{[Just as long as he isn't forced to pet it.]}

[Voice]

[coolerthansora]

[...did Kimblee really just scream?]

Um... You're probably a- beastmaster. It'll listen to you.

Re: [Voice]

[fulmination]

_{[He's not proud of it.]}

And if it doesn't?

[Voice]

[coolerthansora]

...why don't you try telling it to do something through the door?

[Voice]

[fulmination]

...It's a lion, Roxas.

not here

[halfhearted]

[Yup. He did. Vanitas was saving that video on to his SFC later. Would Roxas like to hear it again to make sure he heard right? :D]

[bethehugejerk]

[Hey, Kimblee. Karkat's on screen in a silly cleric outfit, expression flat.]

Calm down, stupid. If you woke up by that thing, it's yours, and you're some sort of beastmaster. Do you know what an RPG is? That's the theme of this curse, and it's happened once before over a year ago.

[VIDEO]

[fulmination]

_{[....Well at least he's not in something that silly.]}

I've been trying and frankly having people telling me to calm down hasn't been very helpful. And I think you and I have a different definition of an 'RPG' because this certainly isn't something I'm familiar with.

[VIDEO]

[bethehugejerk]

It stands for roleplaying game. Specifically this is based after the online video game version, and if you expect me to explain what online means we are never going to get anything done. Just think of it like this: people playing various roles with their own associated powers and skill sets, working together to fight monsters.

A beastmaster uses their beast to fight instead of doing combat directly. I'm a cleric; my spells are related to healing or removing status ailments. In other words, that lion shouldn't harm you unless you seriously fuck up. If anything it should help you.

[VIDEO]

[fulmination]

Just when I thought these curses couldn't get any more ridiculous...

Whether it's helpful or otherwise isn't my issue, I'm afraid. I've had a rather... fatal run-in with one in the past, so you'll have to forgive me for being reluctant in entrusting my safety to that beast.

[timebender]

A lion? That sounds exciting!

[Voice]

[crabbygenius]

[Snickers]</small It looks like you don't appreciate your new pet~.

[Voice]

[fulmination]

I don't need to explain my reasons for being wary of that beast, Miss Washu.

_{[THIS WHOLE CURSE HIT A SORE SPOT...]}

Re: [Voice]

[crabbygenius]

Oh? Is there something more to it that just the initial reaction of ' Oh fuck it's a lion! Run!'?

[Because, if there is, she'd love to know.]

[Voice]

[fulmination]

I don't believe we're close enough for me to divulge personal information like that.

_{[The way things are it took him a few months to get comfortable enough to tell Vanitas.]}

[howamanlives]

... heh, a lion? Man, that reminds me of my dad!

[video]

[fulmination]

A lion reminds you of your father?

[video]

[howamanlives]

Yeah, he was in the body of one for a while.
