24th Devotion: Quelling Rumors

I suppose this is someone's idea of a joke. Is that supposed to be me?

[He types a few commands into the keyboard, but the image plastered on the screen and transmitted over the network refuses to be erased.]

Honestly. How dumb do you think people are? This photograph has clearly been doctored to make it look like... well. Preposterous, to think of Hagi and myself being in such a situation.

[Calling over his shoulder, he speaks to someone who is off-screen.]

Hagi... have you seen this? There's a picture of you on the network, although what you were doing (or with whom), I don't even want to conjecture. Do you have anything you want to say about it?

[He sits back, crossing his arms deeply in thought.]

Either someone has it in for one of us (seeking to discredit us or cause us embarrassment), or this is something more wide scale. A curse perhaps. Although I don't see how something physical of this nature could be called a curse rather than some sick fabrication.



[ooc: Solomon once again finds himself the victim of a curse. This time it's 'TABLOID TRASH'. Feel free to show no mercy when it comes to this, as just last week he was suffering a 48 hour curse that could make this photo VERY plausible!]

Finally. Someone with enough reason to see that.

I hope that you're faring better this day?

A strange day for me, in some regards, adjusting and toying as I am, but--I'm faring well enough today, thank you. I've not seen any rumours about me as yet, but I'm rather used to rumours about me.

Human nature is a strange thing, delighting in other people's business...

I'm glad that you haven't experienced any adverse gossip today.

But other people are so interesting.

Hm, there is that. I suppose that makes me no better in that regard. Still, I have to wonder at the motives of choosing this particular subject of attack. Is it to make my home life more difficult?

I've told you time and again what most people think the purpose of the curses is, so I'd say that almost certainly it was to make your life--at home or elsewhere--as difficult as possible.

Clearly my research has caused attention to be focused in my direction. I must be doing something right then...
