18th Devotion: Information Gathering

[favoritetraitor]

Another set of curses over and done with... strange that I escaped unaffected by them. I wonder if anyone can tell me what their experiences have been as far as the length of time that they've been able to avoid being cursed?


[Filtered from Luke Valentine, and Diva.]
Just out of idle curiosity.... could anyone give me any information on a 'Luke Valentine'?

I hope that the recent string of curses hasn't delayed your getting started on your assigned projects. Understandable if it did though...
At the very least, I was able to examine a few of the unfortunate cursed members of our City. To those of you interested in what my results were, I'll forward the data I was able to collect. Although this is only the beginning...

I'd also meant to mention in our last meeting, there will be a signing bonus for anyone who is able to bring new members into the fold. Please consider who might be a benefit to our cause.

Is that so? Quite fascinating. It makes me feel certain that such events are not random. Perhaps there's a physical predisposition towards different types of curses... Would you mind compiling a list of curses that have struck you?

I'm rather surprised to hear this about Marishka. I've only spoken with her once, but I found her to be rather charming. Luke on the other hand, I am wary of... is there anything specific you can tell me?

I'll be sure to send over my notes tomorrow. Will that be acceptable?

Oh, I doubt they are. I would be more than happy to compile such a list.

The charm is an act entirely. She wants to kill me in a slow, painful way, wait for me to revive, and then repeat the process indefinitely. We... ah, we have something of a history, but she truly is a threat. Her idea of fun involves draining people dry. I don't know as much about Luke, really. He presents himself neutrally, but there's something about him that sets me on edge.

Entirely acceptable, thank you!

I suppose I shouldn't be amused that one of my staff feels terrorized by such a sweet girl...

Yes, that does seem most problematic, your situation with Marishka. I shall be certain to be careful if I encounter her again. Thank you for the advice on both her and Luke...

'Problematic' is something of an understatement. The only person ensuring my survival left the City.

You're most welcome!

Ensuring your survival? And who might that have been?

Surely this Marishka isn't so much of a danger. She seems so nice...
